Enchanted

The Sun and the Moon

(Where are you Ohm? I'm already here.) 

"Almost there! Give me five minutes!" 

(I'll start my timer! If I don't see you in five minutes, I'll go without you!) I ended the call and focus on driving. He's so hot headed. 

In less than five minutes I saw Peter waiting for me at the entrance. I tap his shoulder and smile at him. 

"Don't smile at me! Your dimple won't change a fact that I've been waiting for you for almost two hours! " 

"Sorry. " I scratched my nape and follow him

Our professor in art conduct a yearly exhibition for his students. This year, the exhibit is all from his previous students that he considered top from his class. 

As a senior student we need to experience more exhibits for us to find great opportunities and for us to grow more in our field. 

"That's Sir News! Let's go and congratulate him. " 

Our professor, Sir News is with a group of people. The one in front of him is I believe is the clients and on his left side is his student. We stood in the back for a while, not disturbing the conversation. When Sir News saw us, he ended the conversation and went into us. 

"I was looking for you two. Thank you for coming here." 

"We were looking for paintings for a while sir. Congratulations, the paintings we saw so far are all beautiful!" 

He just smile after shaking our hand. 

"Thank you. By the way, this is Fluke. He is one of my previous students and one of his paintings are here. " 

I look at the man standing in front of me. He smile at us and I'm too stunned to react, that was a beautiful smile. 

"Hi I'm Fluke Natouch and I am the the artist of Enchanted. Nice to meet you. " 

"This are my current students. Here the free spirit, Peter,,"

He shake Peters hand 

"and the gentle giant of the class, Ohm. " He smile again and take my hand. 'Please stop smiling.'

"We will now go and look for the remaining paintings. Congratulations for a successful event." They nod and we bid our goodbyes. 

"I'll go there. Let's just meet later. " 

After saying that to Peter, I went to a painting that I've been eyeing at since I saw it. 

It's a painting of a two couple facing each other while they hold each others hand, they're in the middle of a forest full of tall and beautiful trees and above them there is Solar eclipse happening. It may look simple but it's beautiful. 

"You like it? " 

"Yes, It's beautiful. I love,,, it." I look at the person who suddenly talked to me and to my surprise it's Fluke. 

"Hi. " He smile at me, again. 

'What's wrong with my heart?!'

"Hi. " I smiled back. I look at the painting and check who made it. 

Enchanted. It was him! 

"You made it. " I look back at him and saw how his eyes glistening while looking at his own art. 

 "My grandma told me a story when I was a kid, that the Sun loved the Moon so much it died every night to let its true love breathe. " He's still looking at the painting. 

"The moon is so beautiful and luminous but only show its face during the night and the sun would give anything to catch a glimpse of the moon. Until one day the sun caught a glimpse of the moon. The moon was peeking up, a rare side of it being exposed to the light. The sun fell in love like a snowball hurdling down a mountain and the sun wished to see the moon move than the fleeting moments they shared with each other at both dawn and dusk but they know it, they were a world apart." He pause and took a glance of me. I gulp, that was a beautiful eyes. 

"The moon whispered to the sun one of those nights, Its voice as sweet and sorrowful as the last light of morning. 'Go and let me breathe, for you and I have decided fates. You illuminate the day, and I cast a glow on the night. We will never be. Our connection would go against what all the people believe, all they know'. " he took a deep breath.

"During summer, the sun will stay longer just in case the moon changes its mind but it was no use. The last word that the moon said is 'Don't you dare abandon your blessing of light for my darkness.' and the sun could feel the peaceful soul of the moon and it became clear. They will never be together;" 

"When they finally give up, God saw everything. He saw how the moon loves the sun so He decided to talk to the Moon. He gave them a opportunity to meet each other for a few minutes. The moon takes the opportunity and passed the earth to meet the sun even for a minute and said 'It was enchanting to meet you'" 

I smile sadly and as I about to say something, there's a girl running towards us and called him. 

"Let's go Fluke. We still have a flight to catch. I don't want to be late. "

Fluke look at me in the eyes, there were sadness in it. "It was enchanting to meet you Ohm. "
