Disappointment,

Defeat,

Incompetence.

Read on,

How ice is stiff?

How the block is unmovable?

How devices freeze?

How the night stands still?


No, none of these defined how Muneenah froze, her eyes were focused right into his, observing them as if wanting to find out if he was truthful with his words,

Below the vast sky and beside the long sea, beneath a beautiful moon, muneenah felt like she was a part of the stars that twinkled,

Her limbs, mind, and heartbeat seemed to halt for a second, the world around her was not there anymore, everything halted for a second together with her, only one thing moved, and that was the voice moving across her mind,

I love you,

I love you.

No one in the universe had ever uttered to her what she meant to them, muneenah knew, all her life she had taken those words to be an over used quotation, never really found relevance in what they actually meant or transferred,

But staring down at Farouk, she knew she could live in a world where he kept repeating that over and over again till eternity, a flush of soft realization washed through her as he let go of her hands, a thrill spirit of sudden coldness made her quiver against the night breeze,

Everything seemed to be rushing back as his hands pulled out what seemed to be a bracelet from the box he held, and with a soft caress against her wrist, he wrapped it around it, so simple and unique, it looked.

The nature around them seemed to be in awe, the soft hums of the flowing sea as it trickled down slowly to the shores, adding rhythm to the swoosh of the trees present there as they danced traversing air all around, increasing the notes of the fantastic music, were the chirping of crickets accompanied by the flap sounds of the bats wings, every atom of living present there seemed to enjoy the magical moment together with muneenah,

Her heart began to regain its beat, as it thudded erratically against her chest, she knew it was moving with the hands of a clock somewhere around that beat tick and tock, clocking the time to 12, clocking the time to 6th July,

It felt like a dream,

Something she never wanted to be woken from, she didn't mind been in a world so perfect, surreal, amazing and fairy like.

It had to be true,

Farouk got up from his scrunched position, muneenah stood unflinching, unmoving, unblinking, she was lost in the trance of his oceans to notice any other thing, she couldn't fathom the feelings within her, it was as if all her limbs were in a vibration that seemed to be increasing with each passing second,

"So?, how was it?" Farouk spoke,

I love you,

A thrill of a calming spirit flowed through her, immersing her in bliss, bliss so profound, words do not exist to describe what it was she felt directly,
