She was a flower seller in the same street as he earned his bread singing in the street.

It was a moonlit night and it was their first clandestine meeting at night. Both of them sat down side by side on the ground behind the bushes. He just touched her forehead and said “I love the way your hand waving back your hair from your forehead”.He gave a tender kiss on her forehead. “Just tell me you love me a lot,” she whispered. Taking her hands in his, he whispered in her ears “I want these hands to be in mine for the rest of my life”. He kissed on her each fingers. She moved closer to him. He put his hands around her shoulders and kissed her eyes.“The way you look at me make me tremble. I will never allow tears to appear in these beautiful eyes.” She was trembling with emotion. She thought, “All the men say beautiful words to their loved ones. Love makes one blind. How did I feel him different?” He kissed her cheeks and said, “I love these wheat- coloured cheeks.I will never allow the wrinkles to appear on these cheeks.” They lied down on the bed of grass on the ground side by side and he kissed on her lips. Her lips trembled and she opened her mouth suddenly and both of them embraced locking their lips. “Whatever may happen, we will face the world together. We will live as one, not two individuals, for the rest of our lives.” He kissed on her neck and her embrace became stronger. “I wont leave you whatever may happen, the world seems so beautiful with you along my side” she said. He kissed on the tip of her nose. ”I will allow only sweet smell to enter your beautiful nose.” She looked in his eyes and whispered in his ear “Will you marry me?” He smiled at her, kissed her ears and said “ I will talk to your parents tomorrow itself, will they allow you to marry me?” She kissed him on his cheeks “Will you love me like this my whole life? After all why did you love me so much?” “ I love you with my whole heart. When you are near me, my heart fills with happiness that I feel like crying. But tears won’t flow out.”

“Hey, it’s getting late. I can smell the fragrance of night. Now I have to hurry up to reach home before its too late” she whispered in his ears.“Alright, Let’s go back. We will go together till you doorstep,” he said. Both of them stood up and walked side-by-side holding hands and they reached the roadside.

They were getting ready to cross the road and she hold his hands more tightly because she always helped him to cross the road as he was blind. “Hey watch out. Walk fast I can hear the horn of a vehicle turning the corner.” He knew too well that she didn’t hear them, as she was deaf.
