It was long time ago, when God freaked out of his life, and was forced into a
crucible of creating the so-called
universe. He created the Earth and the Heaven.To differentiate the darkness
from the illuminated version of his creation, he gave birth to the Sun. The
days turned into months and months into years, and he metamorphosed into a
young boy from an infant. One fine day, after fishing for long in an autumn eve,
he had a glimpse of a maiden who silently seemed to ogle at him. Their eyes met
for a while, just to shy away and never
to meet again. The sun grew weary and began to disappear as Astraeus, the
goddess of night plunged into the sky with all her guards and constellation of
stars. The maiden was shy enough to not to reveal the infatuation she felt, so
she disappeared into the clouds nearby. The sun seemed to be lost in a never -ending
introspection, while it kissed the mountains and finally drove his chariot to
the luxurious palace of Helios, his father.
The stars had witnessed all the chemistry between the two, watched the duo silently with the wish-fullness,
hoping that one fine day they would get
close enough, so the lass wouldn’t feel lonely.
Lying in his couch and lost in his thoughts, the Sun
revisited the sky in his mind, and there he was close to the colleen,as close
as would keep her fine. Her face somewhat luminous had a pale tone to it. The
eyes had a piercingly sharp shade of blue. The brows were arched over the curve before dispersing into the bridge
of her dainty nose.Plum, the lips had the strangest curl to them. The
enchanting face was framed wavy.There was something and unreal and eerie about
her. Overall ,she was truly an unearthly beauty. Rare to be found, impossible
to be forgotten.
While the moon was
quietly sleeping in the hours of night, as over the white silent slabs of a
country churchyard ,Aurora the Goddess of love roared and marked her attendance
in the sky. Hearing the wild chase, the Sun ,was shaken out of his dream and was out with his chariot to
rekindle the dark blue sky. No matter how tired he was, or how jarred by
jerking of the chariot, he managed to reach every corner of the earth .Looking
for the sheila he had dreamt of last night, his chariot navigated from east to
west, and as he was about to call it a day, his eyes had a glimpse of the same
eyes which were caught leering at him,
the very previous night. And yes..Yes he was taken aback. Breathless..!! His
heart skipped the beat. Spellbound he
was, when some sort of magnetic effect
tied her eyes to his and none of them wished to break the effect.
While not star-studded, it was at least star speckled, the
sky itself wished the two to get close enough, so as to mingle into one. The
whole universe witnessed the chemistry between the two, their eyes being
hypnotized by each other’s. While the two were busy exchanging the looks, a
gash of wind blotted out the clouds dissipating them; leaving the Moon exposed
to her beloved. Finding herself helpless, she tried to sweep back behind a chunk of wool like cloud, where her waist
was caught by the hands she had dreamt of
a millions of times, but had never known the touch of. An electric shrill ran down her spine, while
the Sun softly whispered into her ear ” Would you be mine?”
