It was late 1970 in Sri Lanka. His name was Michel De Silva. He had a pen pal called Lisa Barton from England. Not like these days, in that era people used only postal mail to contact each other. That was why they called those long distance friends as “Pen Pals”. Michael and Lisa exchanged mails and pictures for years. But, they never talked even by a telephone. Because, Telephone was a luxurious item for Sri Lankans those days. Very limited people had Telephones.

Eventually, they fell in love. Michel was from a middle class family, he didn’t have money to fly to England. Lisa was a student. She too did not have any money for flights. But she promised to come to Sri Lanka one day to visit Michael, as soon as possible, when she had enough money.

Time passed by, their love matured day by day and they were in such a romance. They lived happily with their hopes and dreams of near future. One day, Michael did post a post card which said :

My dear Lisa,

“I go hiking in the mountains with my friends. I wish you were here too, with me. With all my love”.

Your Loving Michel. 

Actually it was not just a mountain hike. It was a sacred mountain calls “Adam’s peak”. They left for the mountain hike in one fine day. It began to get dark when they arrived at the mountainsite. After they had supper, they started to hike. They were hiking for hours without a rest. It was almost about to dawn, when they got their first rest. But, still dark was around and was a thick mist. So, they thought to sit for a while. Everybody sat on somewhere they could find in the dark and Micheal went away from the crowd to answer a call from nature!

He was astonished from what he saw there. It was Lisa; she was in a nice white color lace gown.  He had never met Lisa live before, he recognized her in a blink of an eye.

“My godness Lisa, you are here…Gosh…I was thinking about you all the way…”

“Yes I’m...”

“Why…why didn’t you tell me that you were coming to Sri Lanka... even I posted you a Card saying I was coming here…did you find that? I did it five days before I came here”.

“No I didn’t …So Michel…I met you at last… my love!!!”

“Lisa… you came here all alone? Where is the rest of your people? You know? My friends are over there, come…” while speaking he moved to touch her hand….

But…. She disappeared in to the thick dark mist. He looked around…but he couldn’t find her. She vanished without any trace. He could only see darkness with the mist. He couldn’t understand what he saw. He thought, it may be an illusion, because he was thinking about her all day long. Hence, he didn’t tell anything to his friends there. But he was pretty sure that she addressed him as “So Michel…I met you at last… my love!!!”

Michel arrived home after two days, His mother kept a Telegram in his hand.

Dear Michel,

“Lisa passedaway due to terrible car accident. I’m so sorry”

Lisa's loving friend, Susan.

At the age of eight, Tim loved Christeen very much and he always told her 

“I love you Christeen”. But Christeen never cared about Tim. One day, Christeen went to Tim and said :

“I’m sorry Tim, I am not the perfect friend for you. You find another girl who likes you”.

Time went so fast and they became teenagers. So, both of them laughed at their childhood memories and they fell in love. Again, after two or three years, they separated due to their studies in different collages. 

Then Tim said :

“Christeen I can wait for you…”

“No Tim…it’s not gonna work….you may find another girl”

So, they walked away for the second time too.

Again, time passed and now they are in their late twenties. They remembered their childhood and teenage memories and sighed. Eventually…. they fell in love again, and end with the marriage.

One night…when they came from a party, they stopped the car for a while and looked at  the starry night while embracing each others. Suddenly, big flash light shown and everything went blank. In a second Tim was on the Christeen’s Lap.  

"Christeen..." He shouted with a shaking voice "I have to leave... Please understand"

“No don’t say that…I don’t wanna leave you after all this”

"No, my time has come…you find someone else and love him Christeen".

 P.S - Only thing she could do was to cry , hugging his cold body there!!!
