At last, we're back at the house. After a long day, just us. Alone. In the other house. One I had bought of my own, unsurprisingly, we got changed into new clothes immediately after a swarm of angry clouds lurked above the village. This didn't annoy us that much as it was pretty much like one of Mauritius' typical unpredictable bad weather and we had already enjoyed the beach and a whole days worth of breath-taking panoramic views on the summits of the mountains. Wafting through the air, the denseness jerked our souls up and down, mainly due to the altitude difference, though it made us feel slightly nauseous, specifically me, I would die to see the dashing images. Eventually I could touch the memorable warmness of the pillows, but I was beyond awake. I had some left-over biryani, so did she as she lifted her dupatta to the side and sat beside me. We ate quietly. Not a word left our mouth and before we knew it, we said good night and slept.
Awaking the next day, again, in the early hours, and I realised what awoke me, it was the delicate voice of Persian poetry - She bought the book during school and it was filled with the most extravagant pieces of poetry. I hurled out of my bed as quiet as I could possibly be and turned my head into the other room, only to see her beautiful long brown hair and a book with Farsi writing, then I continuously hear the precious words leap off the paper and into the silent atmosphere. Within a short amount of time, I took a few steps towards her and after she finished one page, I began to recite the words of grace and satisfaction. No though whatsoever she lays down, followed by me with confusion. We were then talking about what could be going on back in England, significantly London, the city was always alive and bursting with such an unknown energy with happiness and joy. However, we could definitely not abandon our mind from this entire village, where everyone helped everyone, everything is as similar from 50 years ago in that same place, where the unique people were the vessels of the lively community.Unlike yesterday, today was not so exciting. But it was most definitely interesting, and this alone time always made our bonds larger and larger until we just exploded with affection. Within some time, I fell asleep and lightly felt her hug me and went into the other room.
Then I heard an excruciating noise, hard on the ears. I shot up, as conscious and observant as I can probably ever remember..
