The Tale Of A Little Heart

They both spent a sleepless night. Two hours before dawn he woke up thinking she was asleep. He comes out of the house, looks upon to the sky and starts thinking about ways to stay back though he had to return back to the camp. But he knew that he had to leave, it would be hard on her. That was the third day after their marriage. It was only after two days he had to leave her all alone. He also knew that there was this possibility they might not reconcile ever again.

The two embraced each other, it was the first time either had touched the other. "I'm going away", he said and "I want you to know that i'm coming back, because you know what? 'I love you'."

Don't say anything she interrupted, she said to love someone there is no need for

a reason.

"I'll be back", he said.

"I always looked into the sky with longing, now it'll be with hope", she said.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

"You're crying?" He asked. "I show resilience like rock. But Above all I'm a woman", she said. And he left her by giving the kiss of love, promising her that he would return.

She would look on to the sky everyday and would try to guess under which star he was residing. She would have to send her kisses on the wind, hoping that the wind would touch his face, and would tell him she was alive. That she was waiting for him, a woman awaiting a courageous man.

He used to write her letters filled with love, she embraced every letter of his. She could share all her love, grief, anger but all that she was missing was his presence. She wanted to scream and let it all out, but smiled instead, probably her smile was her loudest scream.

And after a long wait for an year there came a letter saying he would be returning back. She was excited to meet him, she made up her mind that she has to wait for just few more days and they can be happy ever after.

Though She was a poor lady she knew how to write. He loved her beautiful inside and never really cared about how she looked outside. They knew each other so well, they grew up together. He married the love of his life. There were no phone calls, it was all about letters. And suddenly a small war broke out and he had to stay back for another month. There was no letter from his side again.

Their love was eternal, She felt he would return back soon, There was this brief silence. The fierce wind blew and knocked her door reminding her that it was already late. She felt it was he who returned back and started knocking the door. she slowly got up and Bam, she heard a big sound, and she rushed towards the door and opened it, she could see nothing but it was all fog And there was no one outside, She thought it was a bad omen and starts crying.

And suddenly someone prodded her, she feels the strange sensation. She gets up and realizes that it was a dream and she was actually crying in the dream. It was so clumsy, she cleared her eyes, and to her surprise it was him, the man of her dreams. He asked her "little heart why were you crying?" "it was a good dream" she replied.
