The thinking Killer

Love

"We are sitting there calmly watching the Sky," Michael paused, observing Vanessa and Maclin looking at him carefully, "I think it is not we. It is me who is watching Sky and she is watching Sea.

Then I saw it," Michael said. "Yes, the moment itself is defining it. She always likes the Sea and I always like the Sky and the truth is, no matter what, Sky and Sea never meet. And I think that is why she said, 'Look at that Horizon, where Sky and Sea meet, only as an Illusion.'

We are the two people who can become as close as Sky and Sea, one reflecting the other and yet never meant to be together. That is the moment she told me, 'To Love is to Live a Life of a Loved one.'

And she turned to me and continued, 'My life is just the life of a girl who is with friends, going to parties, movies, and learning Art. Jack, the love of my life, it is when I saw him that my whole life changed completely. Then I started a new life. Going to every town he is leaving to play music. Meeting him, proposing him and expressing my love is not much of a thought for me. It just happened like that.

He came to me, we are talking and suddenly, he proposed to me. I couldn't say no for sure. But I didn't find any reason why I shouldn't say 'Yes' and so I said - Yes,' She stood up, watching the sun setting on the horizon.

I stood up on my feet as well, with her words playing back in my head. 'I am really very sorry that it didn't turn out as you dreamt it will. To be honest, it also happened the same for me. But one thing is for sure, you are very good and best man Michael. If it is me who becomes your life partner, I can say, I am the luckiest girl this world has ever seen.'

'You still are,' I replied to her and we both crashed into smiles. Later, we returned back to the Party.

After a few days, when the marriage is finished and everyone is leaving, with her dropping me at the Railway station and giving me goodbye, I realized, my life is also changed. I am the son of a very wealthy man in the town. My life is simple with in the world I live in. For some reason, I left that world, saw this girl, fell in love with her although it is not from both sides and my life has changed completely. Like my love on her is true, like I am living her life, the Life of a Traveler, Traveling in pursuit of Love.

Watching her for the last time by standing at the door of the Train, I decided that I will love her forever. And here I am, traveling all around the World again and again."

Maclin turned to Vanessa, finding her staring at him like he is staring at her. Michael is observing them both. Although there is nothing they are speaking, the story of Michael is reflecting some thoughts of Maclin to Vanessa and Vice versa.

Maclin downed his head, thinking about Natasha. When he saw Vanessa for a while, he just remembered about Natasha. And the moment he thought about Natasha, the meaning behind Vanessa's looks changed for him. It felt more like, she understands that he is thinking the same. Like living the Life of Natasha as he loves her forever. And thinking Vanessa is thinking so, it excited him to think about it more clearly.

Going to the City, the City where Natasha started a new life, why not it become the same for me, Maclin thought. He even thought about how it can change. The college life of her, the city life of her, what she would have done with all this new atmosphere, he thought. 'To Love is to Live the Life of a Loved one,' he said to himself in the heart. He heard it again in his Mind.

"I am gonna get down in the next station. It is very nice to meet you both. Have a good day," Michael said, arranging all his luggage to get down.

"Why this station?" Vanessa asked.

"This is where she got in the Train. So, I just wanna explore this place for a while."

"You always do that?" Maclin asked.

"Whenever I remember," Michael chuckled.

"Sometimes you forget it?" Vanessa asked.

"Yes, sometimes," Michael answered.

"But tell me one thing," Maclin is looking at Michael deeply, "in order to love someone, we need them to be in our lives physically. How can what you said defines it?"

"Sometimes it will, sometimes it will not. It depends on how you let it define itself for you."

"How do you let it define itself to you?" Vanessa asked.

"However it likes," Michael said and the Train stopped.
