The Wish

It's a break from the monotonous life and we decided to live a bit. Well... not to lie all other times I just survive in that world, world of machines where I barely feel anything. Where I'm supposed to act in a defined way. So the break, break from the art of faking myself, we have headed for a ride with a wish to accomplish all our wishes that counted in our bucket list. We are supposed to do that in turn. And today it's my day, one wish from my diary gotta get a tick. I have always wanted to spend a night under the moonlight, away from the civilisation, in an open ground, with the fresh scent of greenery around and the sound of silence, I will be lying down, staring straight to the sky, where I can hear the giggling of the moon and the clouds while they played hide and seek. Moon, my constant companion since childhood, she told me I can shine with my flaws, I can be the hope for the heart which often goes unnoticed. Well... this is the day, the imagination that played in my mind I will see it thorough my eyes and feel through my soul. It was dark everywhere when we lied down on the ground side by side.  Undoubtedly I could feel goosebumps all over my body. I was more than excited but we didn't talk a bit because all I wanted was utter silence that the Moon's lullaby could reach my ears.We didn't possess a clock here but the time did it's duty anyway. It passed and I had no idea when I fell asleep. As of a habit I hugged my pillow but shockingly my pillow started tickling me and gently got my hands off it. Well... it's never a nice sleep without my pillow. This time I hugged it tighter and surprisingly it hugged me back. But It is different today, I could sense a deep warmth and affection as if the moon itself came down on Earth for me and poured life into it. It was still dark when I heard murmurs and felt some warm blow of breath.

I wondered, wow! my pillow actually have a voice ! But wait ! It took me few moments to realise that I am not in my home, and I don't have a pillow here. 

Then...

Shit!!! All this while I was hugging him! 

The realization left me embarrassed only to invite an increased heartbeat, so fast as it would have been if I ever ran a race... 

Millions of questions hovered over my head. What he must be thinking of me? Isn't he feeling awkward? Oh my God how will he react next day? What if he gets angry? Aannn...I always have been a stupid. Just to mention if there existed any degree for commiting blunders I would have surely bagged the gold medal. Well... the game was still in my hands. So what next... simple, I didn't let him know that I am awake and pretended to be sleeping. Without moving a bit focused on the whispers... it's still there. Head over his chest, I could hear his heartbeat, as calm as it could be. My hair blowing rythmically to his breath.He had locked me in his arms, and being in my senses I felt so much safe there. Moments later, that pounding thing in my body seemed to be relaxing and the two hearts there in that meadow were beating at the same pace. Interestingly he was talking to the moon! haha...how funny. I didn't laugh out loud though, but quietly listened to their conversation. He was like, "Hey, I can't talk louder okay..?Don't wanna wake her up. You know who's here with me in my arms... shhhh... I will let you know but don't tell anyone not even her. Okay?  You know what, I thought of sliding away from her but I couldn't really resist it. These are the times my heart comes victorious against my mind. I have no idea predict how she will react when she wakes up but, all I want is to cherish every second of this moment. My heart, it always craves for her presence and the aura that she carries with. I feel full of life whenever she is around me and ofcourse I can die to live in this moment forever, beside her for the rest of my life. Actually,we are here to fulfill all the silly wishes of our respective lives. I know all of hers and so does she... But alas I couldn't tell her the biggest wish of mine. She herself. Possibly I have the guts to let her know but the fear of losing her dominates. I don't know what she thinks of me. But anyway I will always chose to live like this with her than to live without her. By the way moony Doony, I'm a bit jealous of you. Why doesn't she love me the same way she does to you? Anyway..."He stopped. I could sense him close to my ears. Faintly he whispered, "love you." A wave of electric shock dispersed through out my body. I wanted someone to pinch me. Am I dreaming again ? Is he actually speaking his feelings? How can I know now? Oops .. it's the  maze of questions again. I just want someone to tell me it's not a dream.I was already head over heels for him but now... I am over the moon. How can things turn so magical without you having a hint of it? I could sense the aroma of peace, joy and love all at once. The reality was hard to believe. It left me amazed. Isn't it awesome to secretly know the secret of your love? Feeling more loved than ever I hugged him even tighter. He reciprocated with a smile which I couldn't see but felt.
