" Khushi, I am and shall always be there for you, if you see darkness around, I'll be your light, if you stumble, I'll hold you and not let you fall ever." I wished she gave herself a second chance, happiness a second chance. Her lips quivered as a tear trickled down her eye and landed on my thumb, though unwillingly but for the first time she shared her tears with me.

I moved back and said," it's getting late. Let's go home" she nodded a no and said," no, I wish to stay here some more. The sound of crashing waves shall silence the noise inside me."

She rested her head on the rock behind and closed her eyes, within seconds again she had closed herself to the world and to myself in particular, suppressing her inner voice by the sound of waves crashing on to the shore. I glanced at the tear drop on my thumb which shone like a pearl in the moon light, there was a time when I wanted her to cry and vent out all her grief and tonight when she was doing just that it twisted my heart.

It was close to midnight when I stood up and brushed off the sand on my clothes, turning back I saw her sitting peacefully with her eyes shut, even though I didn't wish to disturb her but still the night was getting cold and we'd to return home.
