Cool water rippling around the fallen twigs of the willow. The kingfisher alighted on the tree with it's gleaming plumage resplendent.
A flaunting perfect ombre of blue. It what must be the light of summer, through early in the morning.
Inquisitive eyes searching for sun only to meet the lapis sky but it would not be there and still there would be light. Odd.
Soft sky above, sharp stones underfoot and the clouds caressed with reflected light.
Heart beats with the symphony of lacy waves and air blowing the tension right from the bones while the birds arc above and the masters of the salty updrafts.
The ocean shore is a gateway, a place where the aquatic and terrestrial worlds collide.
With gravity less aura you would feel furless skin and would wonder "I could have belonged beneath the brine, had evolution taken a different fork!"
Looking around seems like the cool waters peeking at the dry world above, curious as to what lay on the land.
But your lungs are of a land dweller and your limbs cannot swim all day long. So it is for you to see the orange sun kissed sky with eyes better suited for life underwater, to see the rusty hues reflected in the blackening waves, while you yearn to explore the dominion of your aquatic cousins.
It would be wide as blue sky, soft as cotton, white as snow, cold as ice. Still felt like the tranquilizing warmth erupting from sun was what heaven may feel or look like.
No sun but still light. Every facet was as good as a mirror and a different hue of blue illuminating the beautiful abode.
The lady with kohl-black hair falling on her shoulder, that were flowing like a horde of pythons crawling down on her back, she was seated in a bony white rocking chair, body covered in a cottony soft but ivory beautiful gown with quarter lacy sleeves.
A little boy with chocolate brown curls, jade green eyes and dimples appearing when he would smile, with thirty two teeth on full display, kind of similar features in accordance with the lady sat comfortably on her legs.
His own legs folded in a yoga position making a small lap on which a big brown book was settled. His small lap couldn't even hold the half of the book as his hands continuously trying to adjust it.
The lady would just put one hand to support it and the whole book would be still in his lap like it had been placed in his lap for ages. Her other hand on his back moving up and down and occasionally would ruffle his curls.
Greens little doe like eyes looked up with hundreds of emotions in them running wildly anger, calmness, love, hate, confused, intrigued, excited, sad and upset all at same time flashing like a movie flashback.
His snow soft fingers running on the very last page of the book. Book being as magical as the heaven itself. Right side was filled with words. Italics cursive beautifully carved in it. On left was real image moving a young man looking out of a window, while a plane was going behind the clouds higher in sky.
The lady has just finished reading the story to the young boy.
The little boy turned abruptly to her and same infinite emotions are flowing through his eyes, she could she it clearly, so clearly. He spoke with same curiousness that his eyes held "Mom will they meet?"
"If they are meant to then they will." his mother replied calmly. Her level of calmness was no where less than his level of curiousness. There emotions equally repulsive to each other at the moment.
"Mom do you think they love each other?" he asked. Her mother looked quite unsure and was wondering how to answer him such a question.
"Well humans have always been known for their infamous changing nature. After all human nature lasts for novelty." she replied looking down at him.
"But they do I can see it." he spoke defending 'they'.
The lady was astonished at her little boy's reply as it was not for a child of his age to know the real meaning of love or at least the love that two humans share that is different from the love brother and sister share, mother and son share, father and daughter share.
"How do you know they do love each other? You are too little to understand that." the lady spoke her thoughts aloud.
"Cause I feel the same when I'm with Layla and love doesn't come by age it just happens mom." her son spoke with red cheeks and shyness clear in his voice.
The lady was shocked again but this time pride and joy was present in her beautiful green eyes.
"Well little boy I went away for some years and you became so mature not fair I want my baby boy back." his mother pouted like his son does at times and tried to make him feel normal instead of teasing her already embarrassed boy.
"Hahaha, Mom you look so cute, just like Layla she also makes that face when I don't bring her chocolates." he said laughing at her mother's childishness.
"Don't make fun of your mother or your love or else I will tell your girl." his mother teased him and in an instant he hugged her tightly to hide his tomato red cheeks and muffled a 'No' with a shake in the crook of her neck.
She laughed loudly so loudly that whole heaven would have listened the laugh and happiness she was having by spending time with her son.
After her laughter died and her son's shyness. He detached himself from her and asked the question coming back on their story "Why don't they talk Mom? You always say by talking everything can be sorted."
He asked with annoyed look etching on his beautiful little face. "Well I'm no God I can't tell!" his mother spoke with a defending voice as if it was her fault that 'they' don't talk.
"Yeah you are right." he spoke looking down with a sad face, it was clear from his face that he was completely upset with the story.
Suddenly he looked up with wide eyes and almost shouted excitedly "Mom can I please meet Guardian Parents? I want to meet them and tell them you read the story to me I didn't like the end of the story AT ALL."
"But Sue would-" his mother could not even finish as he interrupted her.
"Mom please!!" He asked with a pleading look in his eyes.
"But Harry-"
"Mom pleassseee!" up till now his hands were folded infront of him as if he was begging her and she finally gave up. How can she not allow her own son's wish?
"Okay"
"Yeahhh!" he cheerily jumped off her legs running ahead while his mother walked slowly behind him laughing at her son's childishness.
Sue's POV
I'm driving right now at a very slow speed according to me but for others it is normal, I just bought a new BMW 7series Sedan, it's two and half months old, the time I shifted here and I just fell in love with it.
As I'm a car lover, I just love buying and driving them as of my whole male family members are just as obsessed with cars as I am.
Driving in hilly areas for such a long period of time was something I had never done before. But it is such a adrenaline rush. It was night time not sure what time exactly it was.
I had started driving cautiously cause it's hilly area and it's dangerous to drive recklessly, I've started that ever since I moved in Zurich from New York.
Although this 'driving cautiously' is described by me only, James say I still drive too dangerously, hell my whole family says that and once you go for a drive with me you would never want go anywhere in a car with me.
I don't understand when my family says I drive dangerously and can have a very fatal accident, when all my life I drove like this. They all are very worried for me always.
I took the night beauty I have always admired so much. I just love night more than day.
I've been a night person since childhood my friends call me an owl but I prefer to call myself Batman but no Batwoman would be more appropriate cause I wouldn't want to change my gender after all.
I guess...how does it matter anyways, laughing at silly anime thought I push the accelerator a bit more increasing the speed and letting the chilly air enter through the window more violently.
It's just that I like night a lot, I feel so connected with it, the darkness of night, the beauty of moon and yet those spots on it never let its beauty fade down I even find those spots on moon magnificent and the stars how they shine sometimes so bright but other days they just don't even are there out in sky and how only that one star pole star outshines every other star, it comes out every day no matter other stars are there in sky or not it even comes out when moon is not there as if trying to tell and show the world that it can compete the beauty of moon.
The mountains covered with snow adds to the beauty of night, and the calmness is the other thing that adds.
Soon I reach my apartment building uuuhhhhgggg I just don't like this apartment or the building I don't know why but I just don't. It gives be very bad vibes. And I blame all this to James that idiot sick stupid asshole just because of him I'm living in this scary apartment while he lives in the luxury apartment building build by McKinsey my office.
If he had g given my name for having a flat too then I would have been living in same building comfortably.
But here I am....(I made a sound of phewww) and shook my head at such a stupid move of my best friend.
I parked my car in its usual spot and look at the my very old Gucci watch for time, which I own since I'm 5yrs old, my mom gave it to me God how dearly I missed her.
I only wear this watch when it is really really important occasion or meeting or conference, now I don't want it getting lost now do I? Nope not at all. It was 9:30pm hmm not too late I got out of my car and a sudden shiver ran through my whole body.
Damn it's so cold one it's Zurich it's Switzerland why it wouldn't be second it's starting of February third I'm wearing a fucking Saree just a saree(A saree is an Indian traditional dress the pic is right above, just full bright red saree) it's probably showing my whole bare waist no covered hands the cold breeze is going in my legs.
Damn me for not changing it after party and just running to airport to get to Vienna to help my client with his sudden problem.
I wore my black overcoat it gave me some relief from cold weather but not enough and I'm sure my bitchy immune system is gonna welcome cold n cough or may be flu very soon.
I collected all my files and my MacBook and got out and took my suitcase out it was kinda struggle to handle so many things with just two humanly hands.
I hugged the overcoat tightly in order to keep me warm and walked towards the front. It was pure silence only the clicking of my high heels with the floor can be heard.
My black curly hair swayed along the strap of my Saree. I don't know why but whenever I wear it I always become more confident than I already am I mean which girl wouldn't it makes you feel so sexy.
As I came front of the building I heard the sound beep beep: " You've got a text from James". God my mobile was not on off speaking mode so Siri my electronic besttie that's my iPhone said and it was so loud probably the building would have listen and so fucking embarrassing.
I'm sure I might be blushing now but it slow down as I realized that everyone might be off to sleep.
I got my phone out of my coat's pocket and smiled at James text
James:-* : "Hey girl did you land back at Zurich?? I guess so it's 10:00pm well I'm bored and frustrated and tired as af, my client is so clingy and talks even more than you a full chatter box. I'm back at hotel and gonna sleep but thought of checking upon you before:-)".
I smiled at the text thinking there is at least James who cared about me but at the end he showed he is also just worried and my smile slowed down. I text back saying I'm fine saying and back at apartment.
But my smile soon fade away totally as I saw four figures and i couldn't quite grasp who they were as there faces were not visible and they all look quite creepy and that's really made me a bit scared so I alerted my reflexes and mind every sense was on alert mode I brought my professional and stern attitude back from office and walk with same attitude.
There was this male who had a grey beanie and and big black sunglasses on I couldn't make out his face and he was a bit shorter than all other three he had slight beard which was not much visible it looks like he had probably forgotten to shave hahaha that's funny cause I don't even know if he shaves or not.
Then second was a male he was quite muscular to say and black hair he had a scarf which hid his mouth and left his nose which was only visible in whole face as he also had quite big black sunglasses.
Then a was a third who wore a snapback and I could see that he had blonde hairs and again he was wearing big black sunglasses his was so big that they hid even half of his cheeks and he had quite long beard.
Then last he was the tallest and looked very muscular even muscular than the scarf creepy guy, he had broad shoulders I'm pretty damn sure he had a good body and he workout alot unlike me who get sick just by the name of it he had a define jaw he had a fedora and a mustache he also had big sunglasses on.
Which was now that I notice all of them had sunglasses on and damn they all were wearing it at night I was sure now they are not any good and they start to creep me out now.
I was not afraid of fighting as I know very well how to fight but man what I am Dewayne Johnson no I'm just a normal 19 year old young girl who hadn't even live her life to the fullest there is so much I haven't done.
I'm still waiting for my 21st to drink legally in U.S. and stop drinking illegally, I'm still waiting to become an adult, I still have to go all 7 wonders, I didn't saw the Aura Borealis I hadn't met some of hot celebrities from Hollywood and next year is FIFA god I'll miss it if I die and in upcoming months is auto show in Geneva man I can't miss any of that.
No I don't want to die and walking closer I realized they all are standing as statue watching ahead of them and ahead of them is a fucking girl walking, and that girl is no other than ME yes me they are staring at me I can tell even though they are wearing glasses.
I'm scared now like real scared after so long I'm scared no I'm terrified but soon my gaze goes down to their bags and I realize they might have come to live in this apartment and I was more terrified but I kept my professional and stern face and walked with attitude to show I'm not scared and definitely not feeling weak at this time.
Soon there were three more figures which were wearing all black and their faces were on full view and that relaxed me a bit. They had same stern face on as me they looked like they were bodyguards one of them having bluetooth in his ear. I was a bit confused but I shrugged it off.
Soon I came to entrance and walked passed all of them I saw from the corner of my eye that those 3 bodyguards were taking the luggage out of car from it's trunk while those creepy four guys kept there gaze fixed on me and turned there face to where I was walking still staring at me I guess.
I also heard them inhaling deep, gasping loudly as if trying to take my scent as much as they can filling their lungs to a point that there was no more air left in their lungs to take in. I was right they are creepy. And I should stay as far as possible from them.
