In the moon light!!

We are in Goa on a trip. After all day of fun and excitement we are resting in our hotel room. Our group of ten people just lying in a single room on a single bed occupying the minimum space we could find. Slowly slowly everyone is falling asleep. She is lying next to me. Holding my hand. I just get up from the bed and go to the balcony. Our room is on the first floor. The balcony faces the beach. The sound of sea waves can be clearly heard. The bright moon is illuminating everything on the earth. A big swing is there in the balcony. I am sitting on it gazing the beauty if pine trees and enjoying the flow of wind. I took my cellphone out of my pocket and called my girl out too.

As she entered the balcony she was equally amazed to see the beauty of night.

She sat next to me on the swing. We held our hands again. I sat more close to her. Our body edges touching. She is feeling cold. I brought her a blanket from inside. We both sat covered with the same blanket. She rested her head on my shoulder and my arm is now enclosing her, keeping her tightly bound to me. I won't leave her ever.

We just sleep this way in the moon light in each other's arms.

Reaching out for stars!

Just in a flash of a second I saw myself sitting on a bench in a park.  My girl sitting next to me. My hand on her shoulder and her head on mine. Both quite, no words coming out. Looking upto stars in the sky constantly.

I ask my girl, 

"Do you see the stars?"

"yes"

"Do you see yourself among them?"

"mmmmm, yes"

"Where?"

"Aah! that big one." Pointing to one apparantly biggest and brightest star we could see that night up in the sky.

I am again silent. 

And then she asks, "Which one is you?"

I said, " I am no star."

"Oh Come on, pick one for yourself!"

I said, " I am no star, I am just a man."

"A man who can just sit far away and praise the beauty of the stars. A man who can just dream of reaching out for star. But he knows he can never. Even if he tries he will get burnt if he gets close to any star. He just can't. I just can't"

Quite for a second.

"I am that man and you are that star"

Girl is mum. No words at all. She just picks her head up from my shoulder and see the tears solling down my eyes.

I just looked at her for a while. I took her face in both of my hands and bringing her face close to mine. I kiss her forehead.  That was one deep kiss.

I stand up. Looked at the sky. Pointing to the star the girl chose I again looked at her.

and after a while.

I walk away!!
