A
musical anklet continued talking in a rhythm disturbing my sleep, I procrastinated it for a long time
vacillating to hear it but could not keep it prolonged thus it waked me up from
my deep sleep and put me in a sleepy state of trance. Acoustic of the anklet in the rhythm of heart
kept sounding not very fast also slowed its pace not. It is an unusual place which I seen not once
in my dream or the somewhere I visited.
It was not an open space nor a close cabinet but a place where
nightingales sang along with the anklet and fireflies lit the room with its
luminescent light. The air looked as if
the Mother Nature itself has camouflaged herself in a small room for us.
Everything
looked magnificent except my heart and its beats. The acoustics surround soothed my throbbing
mildly but it has given not heal to a great extent. It all seemed to be happening in a fantasy
world but I learnt it is not. She sat
next to me with slight sadness in her eyes and anger in her countenance. The beat of the anklet continued that which
reminds me the day I met her. She turned
to look at my worry bound face but without giving any sign of console she
turned to look straight. She knows
everything I do though she kept avoiding me to near her, though she kept me
away from listening to her voice, though she kept me away from all the
happenings around her, I know, she kept a eye on all that I did. She believed me that I would go not in a
different direction that of hers, divulging from the path of divine love to
abyss. And now she learnt she could not
tame me to seed the saplings of relation that is suppose to last long for till
I die my last death.
Leaning
over my shoulder she held my hand and clenched my fingers with hers. I was entangled in her palms and shivering to
smell the fragrance of beauty that she pours on my shoulder. The clench spoke hundreds of words in the
language of silence. I could not explain
my position for I misunderstood her and took a different direction. I heeded not to my inner voice thus loosing
the peace embedded in my soul. I
listened not to my instinct so lost myself in the garden of thrones and
bushes. I could not explain her for she
believed me that I wont take another road that is not of where her commutation
continued.
She didn't cry nor didn't I shed any tear.
She held me close to suffice my purpose of being around in this planet
for the last time. I closed my eyes
leaned over her head and she on my shoulder.
I lost my fear, I lost my agonies, and I forgave myself but asked her
forgiveness with a kiss on her forehead.
She nodded in acceptance of my apology and blessed me with a kiss. We knew never again we will meet each other
not even once more in this mortal world but the moment we were together is just
enough for centuries together. Number of
years matters not in love but the amount of love we show each other. Love makes us immortal and ubiquitous, and surveil
over our beloved though we are not physically present.
It
pained at the same time it was euphoric.
We spoke not a word but exchanged what we want to voice. She stood and walked, I felt the pang of
separation but I do deserve not to stop her for her destination is
different. She walked managing to turn
not to me. The anklet continued to sing,
the fireflies continued to emit light, I continued to watch her, she continued
to walk. We continued to love.
