it is spotted in a showroom
under those focused lights
it is standing tall
he enters the store, flirts with those glass tables
he moves forward and his eyes fall on IT
it was undoubtedly love at first sight
he feels its top
slides his hands through its legs
praising its sturdy wooden body
explores all the space
he calls for the sales person
asks for the price of the hazel beauty basking in its glory
the price is quoted
it is a bit too high
he sighs sadly and leaves the store
he visits the store every weekend
eying the magnificent charmer
longing for it, to honour his home's drawing
one good friday, he gets a raise
after work, he rushes to the store
embraces the stunner, pays for it
reaching home, clears the space to welcome the new member in the room
saturday morning, he keeps a tab on the clock
awaiting the hazel beauty to knock at his door
and then the door bell rings
he opens the door and smiles widely
there it was
tightly packed, hidden under the cardboard
wrapped in the fine translucent bubble sheet
ready to be unclothed
he peeled the layers of cardboard
and then the bubble wrap
smoothly and gently
till he got the first glimpse of its auburn sheen
he pulled it close, to the empty space carved out just for it
he pushed it against the wall
it brought life to the mundane corner of the house
and stood their beaming
only to be extolled
