“The yogi looked at me in the rear view mirror and smiled. You both appear to be deeply in love”.

“Oh yes” , the excited me chirped. “Its been 6 months now and it feels magical. I cant stay without him one minute, I wish I could be with him 24*7, every moment. Like now. As he drives the car, instead of sitting beside him and being content with placing my hand over his hand, I wish I could sit on his lap”. I winked.

“Do you want to sit on his lap?” he looked at me with a twinkle in his eye.

“Yes, I would love that”, I said laughing.

“Thathasthu” he said, closing his eyes and holding his palm in a upright position.

My body started shrinking, I was growing small rapidly, I had a tail and whiskers and fur all over my body. The next instant I was in Harry’s lap purring, my green eyes wide open as I looked around in shock.

Reverse the spell, what have you done you moron, I screamed. But my words only came out as a “meow  meow”

(184 words)

Linking up with the amazing Priceless Joy 

Author’s note- Yogi is a saint.

Thathastu is “so be it” or “let your wish be granted”
