Moon Or Stars?

Travel.

After the security check and all we wait in the lounge for a while as Siddarth gets frequent calls from Seattle regarding our stay.

Me , I'm looking for news on the Internet , and no one has yet noticed my absence.

It's a good sign.

Siddarth hasn't left my hand for once. His tight grip around my wristor sometimes around my waistline which feels soo secure makes me thinks of what would have happened if I hadn't involved him in all of this at all.

When we board our flight , the air hostess greets us saying "Happy Journey , Enjoy your flight. "

Little does she know that I'm fleeing away to save my life.

As far as our privacy is concerned , Siddarth has paid the airline company enough that they don't reveal about our getaway.

I hope all of this gets over soon. And the last thing I would want is Arman backstabbing me and turning out to be the person who's trying to kill me.

We settle in the jet . While I make myself comfortable , Siddarth gets both of us some champagne.

He sits next to me and I lean my head on his chest.

" We'll soon get all of this wrapped up Payal. " he said.

I just let out a hmm.

" Have you ever been to Seattle ??" He asked.

" Nah. " I said.

" Oh.. Seattle , it's an amazing place , the weather , I like it , it's raining most of the time and I bet you'll love the Seattle Central Library and Seattle Great Wheel and The Green Lake Park ! How did I forget that ! I can't wait till we get there." He said trying to fill me with enthusiasm.

I just smiled.

" Not working ? " he asked me.

" Yep. " I said popping out the P.

" Payal " he held my palms and kissed my knuckles.

" You've gotta live with what you've got today. You can't worry about the future .All these days you've spent your life dwelling about the past now are you gonna waste your time worrying about the future ?? Or are you gonna have fun with me ?" He asked.

He surely had a point.

"I know Payal. It's difficult . But at least give it a shot ." He said.

I nodded.

" I guess you must be tired , come let me put you to sleep." He said as he got up and held my palms to lift me up.

" Siddarth , you're such a gentleman. From the time I've known you , you've shown such gratitude towards me. It means a lot , I'm not afraid of falling anymore. Because I know you'll catch me ." I said as we made our way to the room.

He closed the door behind us and I kissed him on his lips , running my fingers through his hair.

His grip tightened across my waistline and I hugged him tight.

" I love you Payal soo bad ! I can't even express it in words ." He said.

" I love you too " I said with a rugged breath .

He traced his fingers across my cheeks then my neck and planted kisses on my neck and tracing the pattern to my lips.

He got me panting for more. He was really a Greek God.

My Greek God !

"You're my Aphrodite. " he said staring right into my eyes.

I smiled.

" No filter between your thoughts and mouth. " he said.

" I don't need one when I'm with you" I said .

He lifted me and layed me on the bed.

Then undressed to his boxers and slept next to me.

My head on his bare chest , our feet playing with eachother's , his long fingers in my hair.

" Payal , do you think you can ever get over your trust issues ?" He asked me.

" I'm trying to.  That's why I'm here by your side. Or else I'd be at Jai's wedding."  I smiled and said.

He kissed through my hair.

" Sleep now. It's going to be an eventful day tomorrow. " he said.

Pulling the sheets up and making me comfortable , he pats my head so that I sleep.

I suddenly find myself in a white dress , in a Meadow.

Sitting on the green grass surrounded by pink roses and lavenders.

I hear someone calling out my name , "Payal" !!

Getting on my feet I walk in the direction from where the sound came.

I'm at the ending of the path , standing on the cliff of the hill , looking here and there.

And suddenly someone pushes me from behind and I start to fall.

I scream but the voice doesn't come out of my mouth.

My eyes shut tight , I try to scream and scream but then I feel something around me.

I opened my eyes to realize it was a dream.

Tears rolling down my eyes.

I don't know what's real and what's unreal.

Still Disoriented , I bury my face in Siddarth's chest .

He trys to calm me down but it doesn't help.

I stare out in the blank and the surroundings fade away.
