Magic.
The big white gown flourished as she walked with absolute elegance. Her hair in a perfect bun, her hazel eyes encoded with the dazzling black mascara, her eyes adorned by the fake lashes. She walked in the white silhouettes as she walked past people in the big mask party.
Some big, some small, some skulls, some rounds. She was surrounded by people but their masks were quite creepy. Yet they reflected a hint of the different personalities.
"Khushi, come here." She heard a dark, husky voice calling her. Purring her name, she turned, looked all around. No one was there.
"Khushi." She heard her name again. She walked pushing people as they danced. She walked towards the husky voice. She didn't know from where it came,who was the source. She was mesmerized.
She came outside the party and saw a man. His long back facing her. She turned and she saw him. He was tall, he was dark, his hair were gelled. He was wearing a roman theater mask. She walked closer and closer as he kept walking backwards. Taking her with him to the mysterious forest.
She stopped and stared into those warm brown eyes. Boring hers into his. While he smiled. Holding her hand in his, he asked her for a dance.
The music played. The source unknown. As they swayed, the small lights lightened, the small butterflies flew past them, the moon shone it's light on them. They swayed back and forth. Lost in the beauty of eyes. She closed her eyes as she felt his lips on her, the moon turning full.
She opened her eyes and saw darkness. There were no lights. No moon. No music. Nothing. She was alone. Terrified she searched for him, all in vain. She didn't even know his name. Dejected she walked back to the huge palace.
She stared as she saw the new moon today. Laying her hand against her cheek, as she sat on the sill. She heard the same husky voice. Following it again she ended up in the forest.
"You."
"Me." He said as he stepped closer and pressed his lips against her ever so softly.
"Who are you ?"
"A magician. Who lives in and makes others live in the world of delusions."
She stood there speechless as he felt his lips touch her forehead softly.
"How do you know me ?"
He laughed, an enchanting laugh. His face was hidden in the shadows.
"When you love someone you know everything about them. Just like the rabbit loves my hat, the handkerchiefs love my gloves."
She was surprised. She was speechless.
"Khushi. Marry me."
"What are you saying ?"
Before he could say, he closed her eyes with his hands and vanished with the gust of wind that blew past her.
Weeks passed and soon her marriage was arranged. Strange things occurred as her fiancee for Injured, the decorations were hampered, once all the mice entered the room.
The heaven was angry on the day of her marriage. A huge thunderstorm broke, rain covered every inch of the roads, she sat trapped in the house as she waited for someone to pick her up.
She saw as he made her way towards her, the lamp throwing light on his face. His face was burnt, there were scars, yet he was breathtakingly handsome. She gasped as he came in a full view.
She touched his face and kissed his wounds softly.
"You're beautiful" she told him.
He laughed a sarcastic laugh. She backed a few steps as she saw the curtains drawing, the whole place lighting up and the horrifying sight.
She saw as a boy was burned on the stage. As he screamed, as he cried. She went into save him and as she jumped she saw darkness and the stage was gone.
"You were one different, I always knew." He picked her and hugged her.
"I... Who... What ?"
"Twelve years ago, I was burned while I was performing. No one saved me, I died on the spot."
"You're a ghost ?"
"I'm a soul. I'm here to take you with me. I've fallen in love with you hopelessly. Since I first saw you walking past the gates, when I first kissed your luscious lips, oh my, oh my darling, you've made this ghost fall for it's prey."
She heard as he completed his melodious song.
"I'll marry you."
They got married under the big light handing from the ceiling. He kissed her as they were announced husband and wife.
" And then they had a baby girl. They lived happily ever after. Their souls were set free. He married the girl who died with him when she tried to save him. They both were young and life gave them a chance twelve years after.Even now when you go to the palace you can hear them talking, their child giggling, them dancing. The palace surrounds their memories as they lived there together after their marriage,the bodies of the two small children buried over the same big light.
