Furry Miracles



She crouched in front of the puppies and started counting, saying "one... two... three... and four." She grinned as she glanced at him. "Yeah. So four miracles... make four wishes," she said as she rose up.

"Hmm... let me think" he said, rubbing his chin.

"But you saw the puppies first; don't you get to make half of the wishes?" Curious, he asked her.
With her hands clasped behind her back, she turned to face him and smiled as she glanced at his handsome face. "It's not about who saw the puppies first," she said, shrugging. "It's about who's willing to consider them miracles—cute furry balls of miracles," she added, pouting as she looked at them.

"So, what do you wish for?" She asked eagerly, giggling as they continued their walk.

"Sabr karo...be patient. Let me think," he said, smirking.

"Okay," she sighed.

He paused for a moment, looked at her, and said, "I wish I could do walks like this with you for the rest of our lives."

"Anha., Sweet. How about the second wish? " She asked, cocking her head to one side.

"I would wish for you to have..." He said, grinning.

"You would wish for me to have?" she gave him a curious glance. "Tell naah.. what would you wish for me to have?" She persisted in enthusiastically.

"I'd wish for you to have an adequate amount of brain matter in your currently half-empty cranial vault," he burst out laughing.

Gasping in disbelief, she exclaimed, "JERK!" She scowled and said, "I'm leaving," trying to move away from him, but he grabbed her by her arm and drew her in. Her lips, just inches away from his.

He planted a soft kiss on her lips and said, "I'd wish for you to be my wife." He continued, "In this life...," pausing to kiss her once more, "and the hereafter."

"And all the nine lives as well? If we were to be reborn as cats?" She asked with a bashful look on her face.

"Yes," he said, nodding, "even in all the nine lives." 

"And my final wish would be, " He said as he took both her hands in his, "I'd want us to be together always." He went on, gently kissing each of her hands "in sickness and health...all our lives...and in death." 

He then wrapped her in his arms and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. "I would never want even death to separate us. We live together. We die together " he whispered, caressing her delicate lips with his thumb.

She gazed into his dreamy eyes, feeling his breath against her lips. She whispered quietly ,"I love you, babe.." 

"more than anything else in this world?" With a smile, he joked. 

"Yes, more than anything else in this world," she replied, pressing her lips against his.

Déjà vu

"I'm back home," he said as he undid his shoes, when his children came running into his arms shouting,"Daddy's home!" He took them both in his arms, kissed their heads, and brought them to the kitchen, where he had them sit on the counter top before going straight to the love of his life and taking her in his arms. He wrapped his arms around her and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "And now, I am home,' she said, her eyes shining with joy. She looked just as beautiful as when he first saw her. It was mid-morning, recess time. He was in the cafeteria, hanging out with his friends, who were loudly cracking jokes and talking about football. That is when he caught sight of her. She sat alone in a corner, stuffing her mouth with a subway sandwich. She was dressed in blue jeans and an oversized beige hand-knit jumper, with her hair in a messy bun, with two strands adorning each side of her face. Her hazel eyes, hidden beneath her round glasses, follow...

Epiphany

It was 5.30 p.m. Her living room was filled with gorgeous rainbow hues as the sun's rays filtered through the balcony's open sliding glass door and struck the sun-catcher. A gentle evening breeze accompanied it, causing the wind chimes to clang and blowing the flowy silky white curtains to the sides. She unlocked the door of her new flat, holding a package she received from her mother. She closed the door behind her by pushing herself back against it. After placing her keys in the key holder, she made her way into the main room, where the setting sun mercilessly hit her weary brown eyes. After dropping the package onto the table, she collapsed on to the couch and sighed in relief as she gazed at the ceiling. Even though she was happy to finally have a place of her own, she was anxious about what lay ahead. Her parents were upset by her decision to move away. However, she longs for a carefree life, and it's about time she prioritised herself. Despite all the uncertainties i...
