A dance of the lotuslight

2.

"What are u thinking about, Nilou?"

"I don't know what but I'm happy now!", she shows one of the most solar smile to him

"Oh well that's great as well as your dance"

Kaveh and Nilou were going back to the city while talking about random things they witnessed these days, the sky was painting in a orange and purple colour, it was a nice feeling for Nilou as she starts to run to catch that fresh air on her hair, her red hair drifting like her, she jumps and spin like a kid in the park. 

The brightest lotuslight in the whole Sumeru region!

They took a bit of time to return to the city, the sun was already set and the moon was shining in the dark sky, Nilou finally said bye to his friend as he walked to his own house, Nilou decides to stops and takes a break on a bench near a restaurant before going back to her house.

There is this beautiful view in front of her but alas she needs to get some rest or she will be like this morning, she wasn't really enthusiastic about the realization of the event incoming in few days.

She tried and tried to go to sleep but she was too ecstatic about what happened few hours ago with Kaveh, thinking about that white hair man, makes her heart bound faster than usually, it was a feeling she was completely unfamiliar with but thinking a person that devoted to her makes her a bit blush,

"How can he even finds the time to prepare for my gifts"

She was really overthinking about it again like the other nights but that night was one of the sleepless nights. those nights where you just lie down and look up at your celling and pray to start sleep in someway. 

But that wasn't the case, unfortunately, but at least she wasn't stressed or anything, she was happy and reasurred to have found her answers again in her dance.

Thinking about it and looking at the moon from her tiny window, she got up and decided to return to that bench near the restaurant to take another look at the beautiful sky today.

People laughing and drinking in the restaurant, a whole chaos of sounds was in that place but that gave her a smile, it gives colour to the cities in the bad and good side. The scent of alcohol was really strong but it was in contrast with the perfume she was wearing now. 

A delicate scent of flowers that always helps her calm down before every performances.

The girl was peacefully looking at the moon, whole body relaxes and get gently hold by the bench as her eyes brighten at a new ispiration, she got excited immediately and without holding herself she got to the Zubayr Theater, but she didn't knew who she is going to meet there.

Fast steps and and clicking sounds from the sandals and from her accessories, made a certain person nervous by that sudden sound as he put himself in a dark corner. The area was illuminated by only the lights of the stage. Nilou finally got there, short breath, shaky legs, drops of sweat falling from her pale forehead and pink blush formed on her cheeks.

She was on the stage, without realizing that there a person looking at her in the dark.

She changed herself in her dress dedicated to the Goddess Of Flowers, her already slim body was more poping off with the outfit as it's designed especially for Nilou. 

"You mysterious person with white hair, I will dedicate this dance for you!"

She was going crazy but what if someone was looking at her?

She wasn't that scared about that sudden thought, like it's astronomically low the chance to meet that random person there and also noone goes here after evening if not for special occasions such as after events parties, other than that Nilou was the only one to go there whenever she needs a break from all the overwhelming things in her life.

She sits near the fountain for a moment, she was holding her stomach with her hand while trying to remain calm, she closes her eyes for one moment to organize her thoughts.

"An anubi as a signature, meaning he's from the desert and not really from the city of Sumeru"

"A soldier from the desert comes forward to protect her goddess from the enemies"

She starts to narrate a story she once listened to it, that story can be apply to this situation, it's like she has a guardian angel in the shadow.

She starts to dance as the flow of her own words keep her captivating, her elegant moves, her dress flowing with her as little sounds makes their entrance to accompany her dance, it was the sound of the fountain and the sound of her outfit.

Little blue light starts to appear from her hands as she continue to spin and dance in the whole stage as she was more people than one to fill that whole stage but she wasn't, she is a person, only one but that can make all people supporting her, she gives happiness and joy to those aound her, she is happy to help give and help others, she likes it. 

"Or was she? Was she really happy with that?"

That made her stop her dance, she wasn't doing anything wrong than why she feel empty sometimes?. She continued her dance again, she was a little troubled but finishes her dance for herself and for that person. 

"I love you to the moon and back" she said while doing her ending pose looking at the moon, she was tired after the dance but gave her lots of new ispirations for the next one. 

"Thank you to you who is always devoted to give me flowers at every events I participated in"

She was playing with her hair as she changes herself with her light dress. 

"Thank you for giving me some of your time to dedicate this dance to me" said a low male voice.

When she heard that voice, her body gave her goosebumps and quite literally jumped from the sudden voice, she wasn't read for any surprised guests but here we are having a mysterious man, casually thanking them.

"Wait a minute, you mean you are that person that always gives me Padisarah?!"

Now she is freaking out, now that is a coincidence, her mind black out for a second but than she starts to trembled a bit by the thought of looking at him. Than she turns around still with her eyes closed, she got a bit of courage in her and finally opens her eyes to see a man under her stage, looking up to her. 

It was a handsome man, tanned skin and classic outfit from the desert and a headpiece in a shape of an anubi, she also noticed how he was barefoot, she was a bit surprised about hin not having some bandages around his feet, that looks painful to even looking at, moving a bit up to his face, she was stunned even more by his beauty, white silky hair, red eyes and a cute and puffy face, she kind off wanted to touch his cheeks for a moment.

She shooks her head in denial, that was really embarrassing for the girl to already think about it, they aren't even friends. 

"Nice to meet you, I'm cyno, General Mahamatra from the Akademiya" as he lightly bows to her 

"Nice to meet you, Cyno, I'm Nilou" as she bows as well 

It was a weird situation but also fascinating one.

Where one was admiring her like a goddess in his red and fury eyes as she looked at him with her ocean blue eyes, looking for an answer to her pain digged into her heart.
