Raji- Hi I am Raji 'and you ???she asked as she seated herself on the chair opposite to his
Maan ' a little surprised 'I am Maan'
Raji ' Are u searching for something?

Geet stood outside her shop waiting for Maan and he arrived right on time
Maan ' May I have the pleasure of escorting you back Maam
Geet gave him a warm smile
He offered her his free arm for support and she gladly snaked her arm around his arm
And thus officially began the moment that wud last for a lifetime '..
Geet ' Thankyou for giving me company

Geet ' Watch it' she stopped him with her arm outstretched in front of his chest'as a speeding car zipped by
Maan ' Holy Christ that was close ..how did u know
Geet ' Take care of yourself , be careful 'the world is in any case short on good human beings
So they continued to walk with Maan telling her about bits and pieces of his life

Raji came forward and gave her sister a warm hug 'Di am so happy for you ,Maan s just the kinda person u need n yr life'.'So when are u guys meeting next?'
Geet- 'He is walking me back home again '

That night when Maan stood at his fav spot at his home and began to look outside. the effulgent mooncast its silvery light over the river waters giving it the look of some magical enchanted place.the water droplets continued to sparkle like diamonds...he head seen plenty of such nights before as well but today he could see the beauty they harbored ..the night sky was truly captivating ...how come he never had the eye to notice this beauty before
"The night has a thousand eyes, and the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies with the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, and the heart but one;
Yet it lights up your whole life when you are in love with someone."
😳 -Pooja
So how was it guys ...let me know whether it was gud ....bad or horrid ...and whether u'd like me to continue or not
