I promise you...........

I cannot promise you

That dark clouds

Will never hover

Over our lives

Or that the future

Will bring us many rainbows.

I can't promise you

That tomorrow will be perfect

Or that life will be easy.

I can promise you

My everlasting devotion,

My loyalty, my respect,

And my unconditional love for a lifetime.

I can promise that,

I'll always be here for you

To listen and to hold your hand

And I'll always do my best to make you happy,

And make you feel loved.

I can promise that

I'll see you through any crisis,

And pray with you,

Dream with you,

Build with you, and always cheer you on

And encourage you.

I can promise that

I'll willingly be your protector,

Your advisor, your counsellor,

Your friend, your family,

Your everything.

I promise you.

It had been four days since we had left the factory.

Revina and I were walking on an unknown highway, I guess the last milestone we read was 51NH or something. We neither saw anyone around nor any settlement nearby.

Revina looked miserable. Her blue jeans t-shirt was faded with dirt and her white plain top all greasy, her pants all torn from the twigs that we stumbled onto on our way out of the forest and her hair all full of leaves and mud caked all over.

We hadn't eaten anything. We found water in a small pond near the factory but after that....... nothing.

I was constantly looking out for any sight of shelter but there was nothing close by. Revina looked like she would fall any moment now but for both of us to survive we had to go on. My hands had started to hurt from carrying her around for almost two days straight so she insisted she tried walking on her own. She had wrapped one of her arms around my shoulder and was limping on her legs.
