The 1:00 am confession !

The garden

As I stood up to see where I was, I could still feel my body weak. It was everything about last night I thought.
I walked for about 15 mins on the soft moist grass. It felt like heaven. Calm, peaceful and that feeling of eternity.
I could no longer walk and so I slowly sat in the spot I had reached.
It wasn't different from the previous one, but just had an addition of beautiful butterflies, and a rainbow at an edge. I just wanted to know where I was.
A minute or two later I could hear someone call out my name, but could see no one. It was a voice I had well known and wondered who it was.
"Naina? Naina!" Came the voice twice.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"Here." came the reply.
I turned around but could see no one. As I did this I found my myself as though held by someone strong.

My eyes closed there,
And here they opened.

I found myself beside Ryan who was seated with his palm caressing my forehead.
"Where am I?" I asked him.
"At your place," he said puzzled.
"I don't live in a garden." I said as I sat up straight.
He didn't reply and I looked around to find myself in my flat.
I was so stupid embarrassing myself.
I just didn't know what was happening.

Ryan asked me to get ready he was taking me somewhere so that maybe I could feel better and so as he waited in the living room, I dressed up in a black v neck T-shirt and light blue jeans.
I didn't want to go anywhere but I didn't want to hurt him either, after all he was the one who was there for me when no one else was.
We left at about 2:00 am.
It was winter and I was cold. His car made me feel really warm. I was glad to have gone with him.
We reached to a park that read nothing at the gate. The weather was really cold and he wrapped me around his arms noticing me shiver.
I didn't mind that and I hugged him too. I hadn't felt this in years I could say.
We separated as we heard a noise from nearby but then I immediately held his arm as tight as I could. I was afraid.
There was movement in the nearby bush.
"Who's there?"asked Ryan.
There was no answer. And so we went to the other part of the park and sat on a bench.
I asked him, "why did you bring me here?"
He started speaking, he said, " this is the place I had been to when I first came here to Bangalore. And when you said that your house wasn't a garden I thought you had seen a dream which you would relate to when we would come here. Because this is the place I felt something."
I didn't want to speak about it and didn't know what to say. My silence spoke and he understood.
He started again, "the experience I had here was eternal!......"
We heard the voice again and this time we could see something from the shadows more like a person. We looked at each other afraid.
