Beyond The Ocean Of 'Love' ✔

Chapter 20

The birds were chirping their songs.
Neil opened his eyes and found himself in a room.

The sunrays peaked through the windows. Slowly, he opened his eyes and found himself in a much similar room.
He could hear a similar sound coming from outside.
He tried to recollect the things happened before but unable to get any.

He slowly stood up and touched his stomach. The pain he felt was long gone.

He frowned and pressed his temples.

That sound..
It made wonders whenever he hears it..
That soft melody was like honey to his ears,wounded from many years.

He kept his gaze fixed on the door outside and walked slowly.

With high breathing rates, he stepped down the stairs and walked to the woman standing infront.

She was facing her back to him. The song,she sang reminded him of those old days.

Vamiro was lost in her inflection and was feeding the sparrows.
The way she was joyful, the birds too were.
They chirped and this was added to her song making it more beautiful.

Neil was still confused, a bit confused.

Frowning, he stood behind her.

She sensed it and stopped singing suddenly.

She smiled. Wholeheartedly.

"Sing. Why did you stop?"
He said.

It reminded her of that day.
The day they met.

"Why?"
She questioned him.

Suppressing her tears,she bit her lips.

"Why can't you?"
He asked her, instead.

"I will but-"

"I know you didn't sang like this since I-"

Before he could complete it, she turned around and kept her palm on his mouth to stop him from speaking.

He looked at her, with a strong gaze.

She moved her head sideways.

"Don't say it again. Please Neil."

With that he closed his eyes.
His name from her mouth. It was long time.

By that time tears Flowed down her eyes like stream.

He too had tears.

She slipped her hand down and held his'.

She held it tightly.

"Why should I sing?
Does it matter to you?"
She asked.

He sighed and gazed into her eyes.

"Here..
This heart..
It's beating just.. because your memories, the ever enchanting face of yours,
the melodious voice of yours,
And..and..
Everthing.. moved infront of my eyes...
When I was away from you..
That soothing voice.. is..still fresh in my ears..

Got it?

It matters to me alot..
Alot.."

She had teary eyes.
Taking his hands in hers, she turned to leave.
He, walking behind her, looked at the enchanting beauty infront.
Quietly, he followed her.

She looked at him and then ahead.

She took him slowly to his cottage.

Wherever you go baby, I'll come.

She made him sit on his cot and it was the moment.

The moment they wanted only themselves.
To drown into each other.
To complete their long lost distances.
