Forbidden Water

Chapter 10

 Leo pov continues......

'Son,are you sure,she is your soul mate?', I got quavered hearing my mom's question.

' Why? you don't even know her',I replied,but she frowned,'I don't know her but your father saw you two,when he was trawling'.

'But,we were in seclusion,generally trawlers don't go there; how could he saw us?'

'I don't know these,but he says,her adornments indicate it',she sighed,'Then he saw her bending waters of the Mediterranean'. I am speechless hearing her words. This means ,dad understood 'she is waterbender' !!

'Son,don't mess with her,they are pernicious for normal humans',she warned.

'She is not',said I,'I am sure'.......but mom denied me,'The sea folks forbid us to accompany them'.

'Mom, I don't believe in sea folks.......',I was going to say something but she told,'She is part of folk, a living folk'.

On hearing this,I became silent.Am I rushing towards a mirage? but,I felt the spark when our eyes connected for the first time. Moreover, her every touch, her voice send chills through my spine. I even saw her to have sparkles in eyes seeing me.

I couldn't talk much with mom; I am scheduled to meet her!!

I was waiting for her in nookest corner of the beach; Today, the sundown party will be celebrated. Lately,I don't want to go there; I want to spend some 'me & you' time with her. It's not that,I am distracted by what mom told, as I know, we have to pass trough a number of rocking waves.

'Good afternoon Leo',I heard her charming voice.She wore a fish tail skirt,assembled with blue tear drop ornaments and she is looking drop head gorgeous .Her aquamarine eyes are shining under those bluish eyelids.

'Hi Larissa',I embraced her.

'Let's go',she dragged me.

'Oh baby,do you really want to go?'

'Why ? you nagged to go and now you don't want to go?',she got confused.

'Yeah,I told',I rolled eyes,'But,won't it be great if we spend some alone time?',finally I proposed.

'Yay, it would be great',she rejoiced like a little girl.

We both were  peddling the boat because often she enjoys peddling ! we were gossiping,kissing,romancing at the same time; 

'Leo,it seems you are a bit distracted today; anything happened?',she saw my agony.

'Actually, my dad saw us and mom forbade me to mix with you',I sighed,'I think, they understood you are  waterbender; but see I confirmed them, you are my soul mate...'

I saw shadow of cloud in her eyes; the cloud of sorrow. I hold her hand, 'Don't worry,I'm always with you'. She smiled dingily.

'Oh Noooo !!! such a big wave', I shouted as I saw giant  wave coming toward our boat. And soon, it invaded our boat; our tiny boat started floundering ,almost dancing in tempestuous storm. How could we ignored the storm? to make the situation worse,we were boating in desolate side of the sea.

"Leo, I am with you,don't get frightened, just keep peddling !!",she ensured,but my hands started to get frozen in fear; still 'why would I fear?we both are great swimmers',I said to me.

Then a bewitching incident happened in front of me. She swished and swirled her hands in rhythm ;she was whispering something keeping eyes closed; I couldn't hear those, only swirling sound of water pierced my ear hole.

When I opened eyes, I saw the giant wave is gone,the sea is calm again, same blue, never-ending vastness. I glanced at her,she is smiling. And we are floating on the sea. I don't know how she moved the direction of the wave.

'You did it !!',I almost shouted,'You are supernatural'; I hugged her tightly and she returned the favor.

'It's very natural for waterbenders',said she and we kissed like it's now or never!!!!
