She was lying on the roof, reading a book. The sweet winter sun was warming up her body like nature’s sweet massage.
The loud scream of the jet engine almost made her jump out of her skin, the fighter jet dipped real low before zipping away in distant horizon. It became a daily affair.
“You fly fighter jets.” She asked her husband innocently. A year has passed she was married to an air force officer.
“Why?” he asked smiling.
“Nothing…” she said.
“Tell me!” he smiled and pulled her close. “Or else…”
“Last year, a fighter jet used to fly real low above our house, I sometimes used to be afraid that he will crash!”
“Well, he did not…” he smiled.
“How did you know?” she asked.
He grinned wickedly and looked at her.
“It was you?” she asked incredulously.
“I was saving leaves for our honeymoon, so there was no chance of seeing you, meeting you so … you know na darling! Necessity is mother of invention… that proverb?”

A bookworm transformed into an addicted writer. I love to write and illustrate them myself. By love I mean love, no half-hearted relationship, a full-fledged, passionate love, I can’t pass two days in a stretch without writing/painting (cyber), just feel empty like lovers do when their lovers are away on a tour!
Even though I am thoroughly enjoying self-publishing with amazon, but if you like my work and want to publish my works in your magazine, books or better if you want to publish a book of my works please make me very happy by contacting me.
Or if you want to sell my works on commission basis only!! contact me, I will be quite relieved. Honestly writing and selling your own work is a very BORING combination. So you are more than welcome!

Ha, that’s really sweet, in a noise pollution sort of way. 🙂 Just as well she found out.
oh yes! those planes make horrible sound when they fly low.
Yeah, I remember when fighter jets would fly very low over the countryside in Korea. They would rattle the windows sometimes.
about 20 years back, two Armenians flew over burdwan for quite some time before dropping arms (illegal), they scouted the area for days and boy they flew really low! it is a horrible sound for sure!
