i am literally in looove wit ur writing!!...it is amazing...u r the reason i joined IF😉...

The breeze carried drifts of promises

New signs of a perfect tomorrow

A symbol of assurance.

Her heart swims along.

Along with the ambiance

The cool breeze

The murmur of the sea waves swaying across the dark wet sand.

Some sound stir up her senses.

She still seats quietly.

A deep muffled longing.

A loud thudding drum roll in the soul.

Sound of anticipation.

Excitement.

But at the same tune, another rhythm evolves:

Agony and pain of looking for something

She knew is hers but not certain why and when she will claim that for herself.

The torment of separation, sinking deep inside, making the hollow of the soul even more heavy.

But she stay almost dead.

Silenced

Waiting.

Chirp!

chirp'?!!

What?

She stirs up at the unknown sound.

Try to clear her mind and concentrate.

Where is it coming form?

Where?

What is it?

Chirp! Chirp!

Chirp!

The sounds seems to be joined by a plural beat.

She lowers her hand from the heart, from her hurting chest.

She keeps them on the soft cushion on her back.

She tears up a petal.

Then crunches up a few more.

When the petals squish in her hand and makes the smell linger, she spins up.

Looks at her red, bleeding hand.

Huh?

Bleeding?

Oh ..no its just the petals'

What am I doing?

What am I waiting for?

Why?

When will I see what's going on?

Why this tormenting game?

Chirp!

Chirp!

Chirp!...

Then a few more.

She bounces on.

She almost seats up on her knees.

The big, red, round, beautiful flowers squishes some more.

The fragrance ponder the dark evening sky.

The lighted last ray of the horizon makes the surrounding even more dreamier.

She is seated, well''.almost seated on a bed of roses.

Its red

Its humid

Its fragrant.

Its delicious.

Red on Red.

A perfect combination.

The flower bed is directly laid on the sea sand.

On a five inch think foam. The bed in entirely made of petals and roses.

Buds, full bloom flowers, some leaves, some twinkles crystals.

On the RED BED seats KHUSHI.

HER gown, a perfect match

HER glowing skin , a perfect complement

HER waiting, a perfect balance to the entire nature.

A sea beach

A secluded beach.

Some bushes near by.

A mighty, giant mountain range as the back drop.

The mountain trails coming down, caressing the sea sand.

The edges of the rock, laying flat across the sea chest as a man, resting on a woman.

Secured, calmed, softened.

The sea seems to dull away the pain and roughness of the manly mountains.

And right where they both meet, rests KHUSHI.

On her own meeting point.

On her BED OR ROSES.

ONLY THING different is that, HER MAN is nowhere.

Chirp !

Chirp!

One

Two

Three

Fifteen

Twenty five

Forty

Fifty five.

Hundred and ten

Two hundred and thirty

KHUSHI jumps up like a little girl

On her knees.

Then bounces on her two feet.

What?

The scenery seems directly ripped form a page of a fantasy fiction.

Or a love novel.

Or like a dream sequence form an unknown fan fiction: of a fanatical writer.

Huh?

What?

WHAT?

Really?

Aaa

AAA

My god!!!

What?

But how can this be possible?

I have never seen anything like this?

What ?

Where are they heading this way?

Huh?

They are going away, into the burrows near by.

They swim in pair.

Oh how sweet

The swim as family.

ARNAV ji!

Where are you?

How could you make this possible?

It is my dream come true.

No

It is more than my dream.

If exceeded my expectation of reality or what definition of achievable.

Arnav ji!

Are you even human?

Do you belong to the normal human race, where some things are still left as IMPOSSIBLE?

If I asked for the MOON would you have even got me that?

WHY DO YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH?

WHY?

Come back JAAN.

I WISH TO cherish this FANTASY with you.

HOLDING YOU in my arms.

COME BACK!!! JAAN!

COME BACK IN MY ARMS'

She frantically looks here and there

And then every where.

Surrounding her are a hundred ARNAVs.

Right

Left

Front

Back,

North, south, east, west.

Only ARNAVs and ARNAVs .

Her ARNAV.

Her sweet

Cute

Cuddly

Wobbling

Suited

Booted ARNAVs

Her OWN made up ARNAV !!

She jumps up in joy.

Was about to scream at top of her lungs.

But the next moment she sobers down a bit.

Remembers the instruction: And keeps herself from jumping on one of them and scooping them in her heart.

Tears of joy, excitement, love, care, adoration, admiration, insanity, madness at his LOVE'blinds her temporarily.

Well!

I need to be accustomed to being OVERWHELMED, as long as I am with you.

I can never in my weirdest dream , would have though that this was humanly possible

Such thing exists in nature.

Such thing can be made possible for me to see and savor alone.

So many?

So many?

My oh my !!!

So many of them?

Oh I want one.

Now.

Now..to take back home with me.

I want one right now'umm..will anyone see me if I hide one and carry with me?

Chirp!

Chirp!

Chirp, chirp ,chirp!!!!

Khushi holds on to the bed frame, no actually the bed side polls.

The bed in only laid on the sand with four polls.

The top if covered in shallow white linen.

The breeze is shivering her , along with the white linen'.

She holds her breath and absorbs the beauty and fiction of nature.

After an hour or more, she finally keeps her guard down.

And braces herself for the cry, that is shattering her heart.

Tring to rip her out and break free from her core.

SHE SHOUTS:

"AAA

ARNAV JI!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOUUU

I LOVE YOU.

THANKS ARNAVVV

THANKS'

NOW

MY JAAN!

PLEASE COME OUT.

I CANNOT BEAR ANY MORE SEPERATION.

PLEASE JAAN!"

Nothing.

The surrounding still seems silent.

She is alone.

All alone.

The cry seems to have gone in vain.

KHUSHI feels like an idiot.

Shouting at top of her lungs. But no show from ARNAV's side.

THE BUSH near her bed, on the right hand corner, shakes up.

So does she.

She lowers her gaze, tries to peek AT the bush.

In the dark dark light of the setting horizon.

Only the last ray makes her see a glimpse of " IT"

She stiffens.

"IT" comes at her.

Chirp!

Chirp!

Chirp!

It closes in.

Unknowing what to do?

How to react?

She raises herself on top of the bed.

But the bed is only 5 inches foam off from the sand.

"IT"is coming closer.

It stops right on the edge of the red roses and starts to peck its beak on the roses.

It is dangerously close.

KHUSHI jumps up at the sight.

What?

WHAT?

There is a name tag?

Huh?

She gathers her full courage and looks at the " IT".

An involuntary smile erupts.

The smile become a full blown laughter.

A whole hearted smile.

A cherished memory ,she will carry forever.

She masters her last courage and raises a hand towards "IT"

She holds the collar on "IT's" neck and smiles out loud.

It is ENGRAVED:

"ANRY"

She hold it up and "IT" goes on chirping, towards her.

The tag seems to be engraved in the opposite side as well.

She turns it around, very gently.

It is ENGRAVED: in tiny letters:

"OWNER: KKGSR"

KHUSHI hysterically laughs, sheds another tear of joy, loves, cuddles the "IT" in her arms and falls on the bed of roses with "HER ARNY".

"FANTASY ACHIEVED

DREAM VALIDATED

POSESSION OWNED."

Location: BEACHSIDE

MELBOURNE (Philip island natural park) Source: ( https://www.penguins.org.au/ )

Australia

some time back, KHUSHI got down from the chopper and headed towards the beach side.

Two girls in casual clothes greeted her and gave her a card :

NOTED: # 3.

THEY led her to the secluded island

They told her to take a seat and relax.

And that she is to wait here, till the last ray of sun goes down and the night starts to fall.

Also mentioned that it's imperative that she stays completely silent, turn the phone into vibration mode, no flash or cameras to be used.

As expected, as KHUSHI asked them about her MAN'S where about, they kept numb, only had a silent smile on both faces.

A girl complemented that:

"MAM! You are exquisite!

No wonder, SIR went all the way out to do this for you.

We have closed the beach.

You will be the only person on the beach."

Seeing KHUSHI flinch away a bit hearing that she will be all alone in a five mile long beach. The other girl, came to rescue:

"Mam!

It is alright.

We are near by,

We will come to you if you call us as soon as night falls.

But till then, kindly do not move or make aloud sound.

Please. It is a must for what is about to happen."

Still looking at KHUSHI's tensed and perplexed face, she continued:

"Mam!

Please do not worry.

Every night we have more than 1,500 people , I mean tourists coming for what is about to happen.

But SIR booked the night.

This is the first time , I have seen anyone book the whole beach for any occasion.

So this must be very dear to him to show you.

He booked the entire beach for the next hours and gave us strict instructiosn, not to give you any information about what is happening.

Mam!

Please stay calm and enjoy.

Umm..Sir, also asked me to tell you , not to be too brave."

KHUSH:"huh?

What?

What do you mean by not to be too brave?

Well.

You know what?

I cannot process anymore of this.

I have heard everything you just said.

I will stay quiet.

And I will see what he has planned.

Thanks you two.

Thanks a lot."

Second girl:

"Mam!

Also when the thing ends, there will be something sent to you.

Umm..it is pre planned and the "IT" will belong to you.

Just be a bit gentle and do not put your fingers too close to the '..*** sorry I cannot explain any more."

"Mam!

Please do not be worried, it is all good!"

Khushi, smiles hearing the same dialogues again, in the same night from the unknown AUSSIE girl.

The same thing she heard from Mehta's and the Raizadas.

She waits as told and''''''''''''

OCCURRENCE : 3

KHUSHI just experienced the natural phenomenon of the PENGUINE parade.

When the sun goes down, and the sea is almost reaching tidal point , the PENGUINES COME BACK .

She just experienced a sea full of 15,000 + penguins of the Australian Coast, in Melbourne, come back to their burrows.

They come one by one.

See the surroundings for any imminent danger that might be in the sea shore.

Then one or two go back.

They come forward and go back and forth, letting the others know of the surrounding.

Then the entire colony surfaces.

When the entire colony reaches shore, they travel another mile intot he wild bushes , under the mountain range into their hollow holes and burrows.

There are small ones, husky ones, also some SEXY ONES that resembles the :

"SEXIEST MAN ALIVE:

MR. ARNAV SING RAIZADA".

Anybody experiencing this have to stay very quite.

Silent and with no sudden movements or use of flash or ring tones from the phones.

Suddenly

After 2 minutes

BEEP !!

BEEP!!!!

Khushi's cell vibrates:

TEXT: 1

"HE WALKS IN A WOBBLY MANNER!

AND HE IS ALWAYS SUITED , BOOTED. SO I THOUGHT HE LOOKS LIKE A PENGUINE.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE A PENGUINE.

AND I ALSO WANTED TO BUY ONE AS A PET FOR MYSELF"

TEXT : 2

THIS WAS # 4 OF THE OCCURENCES.

TEXT 3:

" HAPPY ?"

Khushi's hands shake up.

She forgets for a second how to text reply back or how to type letters on the button.

She holds the phone deep in her heart and falls back again on the bed of ROSES with "ARNY" at her side.

Waiting : for her human version of "ARNY".
