Shantanu enjoyed the silky yet wet feeling across his face. He forgot to blink his eyes with the vision of her face that just appered to his eyes like the moon that greeted the world in a dark night. He felt that he was tumbling andfreewheeling through the endless sky. Her silky hair caressed his face like a light breeze of wind. The sight was unbelievable to his eyes as well as his feelings were indescribable.
He dared not to close his eyes, wanting to see what his eyes longed to see for a long time. He held his breath to get familiar with this new vision. He wanted her to wake him up this way before too, but he was afraid that she might refuse. He will forgive her for that because she is the one who makes his morning special. A morning very special to him.
She caressed his face with a red rose. What does it mean now? A red rose? Does it mean that she has immeasurable love for him? Is it related to the myth saying that they are closely tied with unconditional love? She might not be able to say in words how
she feel for him. What else could be better than a red rose? Is she making a commitment or giving him an invitation to take the next step? He couldn't resist the allure of that single red rose she was holding.
He caught her wrists by his hand, she smiled and whispered 'this is not just a simple morning..but a special morning to you'He gave her the astonishing looks as usual that made
her to lower her gaze. Oh! She looks more beautiful when she feels shy, because of the blush on her cheeks. 'Khanak, Open your eyes and look at me' his heart called her but his tongue was tied. He couldn't speak, he felt his words squashed in his throats. With frustration he closed his eyes tight, just then Khanak called him 'Shantanu utiye na'
