"Will you dance with me?" His calm voice caught my attention
I looked into his eyes full of brightness.
"Hmm... I'm sorry I don't know how to dance" I told awkwardly.
"You don't need to know how to dance you should just want to dance. Do YOU WANT to dance?"
He gave his hand and I took it hesitatingly. His grip was warm and comforting.
He swriled me. We danced and danced and danced. I don't know how I danced but yes I did. My legs moved with the rhythm my heart moved with his smile.
"Tara, I love you" he whispered into my ear. He took my and guided me to the garden outside. The moon was half full. I was busy watching the moon. He hugged me from behind and pressed a kiss on the back of my neck. His warm hug would always comfort me.
A cool metal caressed my neck. He turned me to look at my face with the chain. It had a beautiful water drop locket. I kissed his forehead and hugged him.
"What's the occassion?" I asked
"Thanks for marrying me. Its been a month since we got married"
"It still feels like I saw you yesterday at the library"
We headed to our house. I was so tired that I supposed dozed off in the car. When I woke up in the morning he was there beside me. Having a peaceful slumber. He smiled in his sleep which also made me smile. My fingers ran through his hair. He slowly opened his eyes.
"What are you smiling at?" He asked
"You"
We woke up and started our week full of love and joy. We cooked together cleaned together and went to our work. As the evening fell the moon grew bigger. The Monday evening ended with a movie night. The Tuesday ended with a home made hot pot. The Wednesday with a gaming night. The Thursday with a new trial of a recipe. The Friday with a candle light dinner. The Saturday was our day off. We watched a series all day and there came the evening.
The moon was full. I felt bad.
"Is anything troubling you dear?" His voice brought me back
"No. I was just wondering how the moon is so beautiful"
"Still it is not as beautiful as you" he spoke as his hands wrapped around me.
"Will you miss me after my death?" I asked
"I won't be alive to do that. The moment you die is my......" I shut his mouth with a kiss.
All of a sudden everything around me vanished. I fainted.
When I woke up, again I was in the ball room.
"Will you dance with me?" the voice I love the most.
This is the 100th time he his asking this. Yes you guessed it right. I'm in a time loop. My husband died in a car accident. I couldn't bear the loss. I cried till my soul soaked. Then one day I woke up in a ball room, and all these things happened. I'm living the same week for the 100th time. I thought it is better for me to live with him like this than living without him.
"Hmm... I'm sorry I don't know how to dance"
Then all the things happened again. But this time I'm prepared to let him go. The Saturday evening I watched the moon with him and prayed to God to let his soul be at peace. I went to bed.
The next morning I woke up. Our welding photo hanged in front of me. The sheets beside me were cold. The date has changed. The loop has ended.
"Sorry Krish, I chose to let you go"
After all true love is to let go. Isn't it?......
