16. Under the smiling moon

When I reached back its almost the dinner time. I thought that now its dinner time so may be he was already home. I hurriedly came inside but I didn't find him in the living room. His mother came to me and said -" You came early....go freshen up and have dinner with us."

I only nodded and went to the room. If he's not here so he definitely in the room. When I entered he was not there then I checked in the closet room and bathroom but he was not there also. I leaned against wall and closed my eyes and said -"When will you be come back?"

Then I freshen up and came downstairs. He was still not home. I ate silently with them. After dinner I came to the room and laid on the couch and said inside my mind .....come fast.... I wanted to talk to him... wanted to see his face.

Its already 10 o'clock and he was still not come back. I didn't feel good alone in the huge room. Everyone already settled in their room. I didn't want to disturb them so I came out of the house. I came to the garden and sit on the bench. Its beautiful at night. There was a pond near the bench and it was looking like a mirror in the night. Its very beautiful view. I sit there for some time then I heard foot steps behind me. I stand up and turned back. And its him. By seeing him I didn't know why but I smiled.

He said to me -" Its late.... why are you here "

I wanted to say that I was waiting for you but I said opposite to it -" I'm not feeling sleepy and want some fresh air so I came here."

He didn't say anything and we both sit on the bench. There was a distance in between us. I wanted to talk to him but I didn't know how to start. For some time we sit silently then I asked him -" How was your day?"

He looked at me and said -" Its like always...busy."

He massaged his temples with his fingers. He was looking tired so I tapped on my lap and gestured him with my eyes to put his head on my lap and laid down on the bench. He looked at me weirdly and said -" Speak Alexa."

"You didn't understand what I am trying to say." I asked him.

"Where should I look." He said.

"Oh my....you seriously don't know." I said.

"Just speak Alexa." He sighed.

He really didn't understand. Where does he come from. Without saying anything I held his head and put on my lap carefully. He started to sit and said -" What are you doing?"

"Don't move." I said.

"But....." He wanted to say something but I stopped him.

"Shhh..... stay like this and close your eyes." I said.

I closed his eyes with my hand. He stopped struggling. I massaged his head lightly. He said with his eyes closed -" Why are you doing this?"

"Don't speak and feel the nature." I said while massaging his head.

Then we stayed like this. His breathing was normal so I thought that he fall asleep. He was holding my one hand in his hand and laid it on his chest. I could feel his calm heartbeats. I took this chance and lightly touched his dark black hair. They were soft and thick then I traced his features his eyebrows his pointed nose his chick bone shis jaw except his lips.

When I saw in the dark sky the moon was smiling. I think its smiling specially for us. I didn't know when but I also fall asleep😊
