He had been waiting for almost 40 minutes. Patience. More patience. That's what he needed at this moment. He had sensed this coming and didn't want to miss it at any cost.
From one end of the room he was spying her. She appeared calm and composed. Not much movement and not much action. A book lay in front of her but she looked disinterested. He had known her for only a year and a half but it was strange that he loved her more than anything else in the world. He remembered how he had a knot in the stomach when he saw her for the first time. She looked pretty. No no. Prettier? Uhumm.....Its gotta be prettiest. Yes...that's right. She was, is and will remain the prettiest one in the whole world.
Her eyes had the sparkle of the stars. Her perfectly chiseled nose accentuated her facial features. Her lips were small and rosy as if she had just finished eating a cherry. God! She looked divine. How much he wanted to kiss her right now?!? No no....patience. He would spoil the whole mission if he were to disturb anything right now. She was looking at the TV but apparently didn't show much joy or enthusiasm. Ah...he could see it coming.
"What are you doing?" quipped his wife from behind.
"Shhh...keep quiet." He switched on his Sony MiniDv handy cam and started to record his daughter's movements.
She sat up, crawled, got up on her feet and started to walk a few steps before limping on the soft bed. Bingo!!! He had recorded her first steps. He felt as if he was on the moon. He rushed and kissed her heartily out of joy.
Move over Armstrong. There is one soul less on earth who doesn't give a rats tail to your first step on moon.
P.S: Inspired from a friends tale of similar happiness and my 2 year old pic :-)

For once I guessed that the person being referred to must be his daughter, in the beginning itself! So, twist is missing this time ;)
