There is a knock at the door. It’s unusual for someone to come this early morning. Opening it, what I saw took my breath away. I stood there motionless, my eyes go wide. “Hi sweety”, said the much too familiar voice and now a somewhat crinkled face. A light nervous smile is plastered on that face. “MOM!”, I exclaim. Tears start rolling down involuntarily. My legs becoming jelly. “I’ve come to take you honey.”, my mom says with a sweet yet urgent smile. “Mom, where have you been? I thought you would never…..”, I could not complete the sentence, it still hurts after four long years. “Return.”, she completed it for me looking down. “But here I am baby. Come with me. I’m here to take you now…with us”, my mom says and extends her hand for me to hold. “What? But mom what about him?”, I ask looking at her blurred figure though my watery eyes. “Baby…he can’t come with us. Never. But you need to come now.”, she pulls me by my hand. I stop. NO. I can’t leave without him. Not after so many years that he has stood by me. “No mom. I’m not leaving him behind.”, I pressed my mom’s hand firmly. I see my mother go pale. “You need to come my child. You should have come with us.”, I hear a mourn in her voice. That blow is too hard to take. I close my eyes and feel my mother pulling her hand away. I open my eyes frantically and she has melted into the thin air. ………… I wake up with a cold sweat and a randomly beating heart. It’s still a pitch black night. This has happened for the third night in a row. What is happening and why? Is this an Omen?

"Get out," I whispered again, looking into his deep brown eyes. His brows furrowed. "I can't leave you in this condition." A lone tear slipped from my eye. "You're the only person responsible for this condition." He swallowed hard and lay down beside me. "I said-" I tried to get up, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his embrace again. His arms wrapped tightly around me. I stopped struggling. His warmth, his scent... after four years, I finally felt at peace. My face was buried in his chest. "Why aren't you leaving me?" I whispered. He looked down, his gaze intense. "Because I can't," he admitted. "I'm not able to." I bit my lip, my heart aching. ___________________________________ "You look beautiful," I said, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "Come up with something new. Half of your guests already used that line," she muttered. I stared into her kohl-lined eyes. "Is that so?" She hummed in response. "Then how about this-" I leaned close to her ear. "You look like mine," I whispered before pressing a soft kiss against her earlobe. She shuddered. I was about to trail kisses down her neck when she whispered, "I'm sleepy." I chuckled and pulled back. She strolled toward the staircase, taking slow steps, struggling with her four-inch pencil heels and the heavy saree. Will she ask for my help? Nope. I sighed and walked toward her. --- GRUMPY × SUNSHINE
