Meng's love

Life without Peng

*I recommend to read this with music from the video. It helps set the mood*
It was a late Friday when Meghana finally slept. Everything was quite and no one was around. Letting out an exhausted breath, Meghana collapsed on the living room couch and switched on the TV. Even though she was tired from her day's busy schedule, she couldn't even contemplate sleep. If she went to sleep, and if she dreamed, she most likely would wake up crying again.

But, after several hours of channel surfing, Meghana's eyes became heavy and her breathing became deep. Eventually, after a long for control battle, she fell asleep.
Meghana's dream:
"How was your day?" Peng questioned in his low voice. Peng joined her on the couch where Meghana sat watching 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' . The sun was just beginning to set, casting the whole room in a warm orange glow.
"It was good,"Meghana answered, laying her head over on Peng's chest. She could hear his heartbeat and feel the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed. It was a comforting feeling, a safe feeling. she asked, "Did you miss me while I was gone? I swear I don't know what you do around all day without me?"
"Make out with my other girlfriend," Peng teased.
"Very funny," Meghana growled, wrapping her arm around Peng's waist. She both liked and hated it when Peng joked around . It was a sign of his affection and incredibly mean all at the same time. "You wouldn't dare leave me for another girl," she asked.
"I wouldn't dare leave you at all." Peng laughed. "You'd probably murder me."
"I am not a violent person," Meghana answered, slightly offended. Peng chuckled and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Ok, most of the time", she  laughed.
End of Dream
Like before, Meghana awoke all too quickly. Her dream had been a reflection of what she always wanted. It wasn't a passionate moment from her life. Not one filled with lust, or ecstasy, but it was precious to her all the same. It was a snap shot of what her life had been like with Peng. A tiny picture of the love they had shared, the love that was now gone from her world. Again, tears threatened to fall from her eyes.
