"Tu me manques"

He kissed her forehead as she tightly wrapped her arms around him, inhaling the fragrance of the cologne near his right collar, as she rested her head over his chest.

She broke the hug and ran her hands along his rolled sleeves down his muscular arms and
held his hands in her and squeezed it gently and said

"I'll miss you..." her hazel eyes, filled with tears.

"Yeah yeah, don't give me that face now, I want see your beautiful smile before you leave " he said as he held her face in his hands.

She looked down as tears started rolling down her cheek. He lift her chin, looked into her eyes, gave her a weak smile and paused for a moment and said "I'll miss you more..."

As the flight took off, She turned her head and looked outside the window as she rested her back against the reclined seat.

The floating clouds, the land and water bodies miles beneath, looked beautiful. But they were not comforting enough to calm her restless mind. She sighed and thought to herself "I wish I had more time..."
.
.
.
The turbulence was so bad, all she should hear was masked screams and the safety armouncements and all that she could see was blurred colors. As the plane crashed down into the mighty waters, he was on her mind, his laughter, his eyes, his wide smile on his face when he sees her. Her mind rewinding all the moments she spent with the person she loved the most.
.

She struggled to get out. She couldn't. Her body was paralyzed. She had no choice but to just accept her fate. She opened her teary eyes wide and whispered to herself as the mighty waters consumed her in. "I love you babe..more than anything else in this worl...."

He woke up startled from the nightmare, teary eyed. He was lifeless on the arm sofa chair. Heart heavy, him, weak.He looked at his outstretched muscular arms, which rested paralyzed. He could still feel her soft hands that once gently pressed his. He took a deep breath and whispered to himself making a strong fist "I love you more...", Weeping.

Déjà vu

Image
"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

Image
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...

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 w...
