He looked depressed, disheartened and shattered but was not alone when he narrated his story to her. He sobbed and cried his heart out without the fear of being judged while she was just listening to him, silently, without any complaints. Holding his hand in hers, she gave him the warmth he had been yearning for years. She didn't interrupt him with the thousands of questions she had on her mind and only concentrated on each and every word he spoke. His pain could be reflected in her eyes which was visible in the form of tears.

He looked at her after recounting his backstory. She could see anger, frustration and helplessness at the same time in his deep, red and puffy orbs. They shared a long eye lock and communicated their feelings through their eyes. Words couldn't do justice as much as eyes did. Neither of them spoke a single word.

"Thank you", his eyes communicated to hers.

"For what?", she asked in gestures.

"For listening to me so patiently and without any questions".

"I love listening to you", her tearful eyes replied.

She smiled and he smiled slightly back at her. They continued to look into each other's eyes for a couple of minutes. They had some more deep conversations through their eyes. He looked at her with teary eyes as if seeking permission and she was way too quick to understand his state of mind. She took him into a tight hug and rubbed his back. He snuggled into her and cried like a baby clinging to his favourite toy. Hearing each other's erratic breathing, they unwillingly part.

They avoided eye contact and looked here and there, feeling shy. An awkward silence fell but little did both the souls realise they were no more strangers to each other...

I hope you'll enjoy this too.
Happy reading ❤️
