It was the serenest evening I had ever witnessed in my whole life, Sitting in balcony, gazing at the sunset, with hands around the teacup that was on the table, I had dwelt on the tranquility that had filled the atmosphere.

In a certain state where reality and illusion couldn’t be separated from each other, I contemplated her arrival in my world, like the moon among dark clouds which rules the night teasing the darkness.

She was a stranger, She was uninvited, But she was there in front of me standing still. Her gentle smile decorated the novelty between two of us, while a strange feeling was convincing me that I had been expecting her for my entire life.

Getting enchanted by her very presence, and trying to calm the consciousness that was touched by her unparalleled beauty, I was there sitting on the chair as if I were bound to the seat.

Moments became days and days became years. She was beside me every time, in success and failure and sickness and health, Holding my hand and holding onto me she walked me among starry heavens, whispering divine words in my ears to console the battered mind of mine.

Erasing fears and doubts that haunted my psyche for years, she made my life easier bringing relief to my wounded soul. Like a mother figure who takes care of her only child, she nurtured me with love and affection guiding me towards sanity once again.

Once, in an evening that was decorated by the colors of summer, we were sitting at the table facing each other. The sun was setting behind her, Everything was still But for a moment I felt like surroundings were pretending to be calm.

While getting mesmerized by her glittering eyes, I let go of myself trying to surrender to this soothing moment. It was like her aura was working a spell on me. I closed my eyes letting her wonderful vibes go through my soul.

Then, something happened at once, Felt like stability and balance were letting go of me at the same time. I opened my eyes and saw her figure was fading and disappearing into thin air, Within a blink of an eye the illusion was gone and reality approached me.

Sun had set and darkness had covered whole environment, Stars were appearing, They vanished the loneliness of night sky, The chair in front of me remained empty showing no sign of being occupied, The tea of the cup had been spilled all over table bringing a smile to my face.
