Chapter 12 - "Under The Glow"

I stood in the middle and my eyes were closed when he removed the tie.

"Open your eyes grace!" His gentle tone made my heart beat like a drum. I agreed and slowly began to open my eyes.

The next moment, my eyes were wet, and my hands covered my mouth. It's unbelievable and I couldn't believe he could do this.

"It Can't be!"

"I am dreaming right?"

"But it's true!"

The more I see, the more I cry.

I could see the Green Straight lines in the dark blue sky and the waterfall changed its colour into neon.

My favourite aurora borealis

I walked further and saw this beautiful illusion, melting my heart. In walked further and looked more.

I remember dreaming about this in videos, and now look at me, standing over here, it's like I have an award.

Definitely, this is my achievement I began to walk further looking at my dreams showering with blessings and my achievement glowing in the night sky.

"Do you like it?" I heard a gentle voice behind me but far off.

I ran towards this tall guy and jumped on him, kissing his gentle lips.

"Thank you, River, I love....!" I stopped for a second and controlled my emotions. I saw him looking at me.

I was on him, and my legs wrapped around him. Our lips were still touching each other and the air passing within our silence. My hands are around his neck, while my eyes are swimming into his mind.

Then he moved forward to kiss my tears and began kissing me. Within the kiss, he whispered, "My Pleasure, Love!".

I closed my eyes and began to kiss him, his tongue exploring every inch of my mouth. While I am pouring out my emotions with my tongue.

He held my neck and then the other part of his hand gripped my lower back. We didn't stop but continued.

It was almost half an hour, then we released each other and I unwrap my legs while lowering myself down as he understood my sign.

Then he placed me down, and our noses touched each other. I wish to kiss him more but then we released each other.

"It's time to go honey!" Then we tangled our fingers walking out of that place. We walked silently but our hands never left.

Then he unlocked the car, opened the door of my car and I took my passenger seat. Then he took the driving seat.

He reversed, and within a few minutes, we were on the road. I felt so warm, not because of his jacket, but his cute surprise.

Even though we are not in a relationship or something, his heart-touching move got me.

"Once again thank you! It was my dream to come...."

"I know, in my previous life you used to draw these things on the canvas, while every time I used to question this.

You never knew about it, nor did I, until one fine night I saw this in my dream as a symbol. It took me a lot of time to find it out. I began to browse it and found this.

When we came here, I knew that I would take you here and see our fate. This is the 11th year."

Am I really in some kind of fantasy, or am I dreaming because I never found someone this caring?

I couldn't believe I am so lucky to have a handsome of world beside me and he blessed me with my dreams.

I looked on the other side and couldn't help but recall our moments. Not me seeing the aurora borealis for the first time, but us kissing under the aurora borealis.

Then after he played his beautiful jazz song, I felt hungry, but I decided to have it at the hotel.

We went a little further, where we found a restaurant, and the lights were on. He stopped and helped me to come out.

"Let's have dinner, you are hungry because you had only a sandwich!" He said like he observed me.

Then an elderly couple welcomed us, the restaurant was clean, but it was arranged in an old-fashioned way, and I was getting warm while we were seated.

A beautiful girl came forward to receive our orders, and then I saw River looking at me.

"Fried Chicken Rice!" I told him without looking at the menu.

"Okay, one bowl fried Chicken Rice, one bowl chicken pasta".

The little girl gave a pretty smile and walked in. The large window beside us displayed the northern lights.

"You are into chickens right?" He smiled at me.

"I usually eat chicken when I am in a cold place, otherwise I go with veg fried rice noodles!" I told him.

Then I looked at him, moving his head on the windows.

"River, if I say no to you, then what will you do?" I asked him with curiosity.

"Honey, I won't leave you even if it's not. I will stay single and try to protect you from afar!"

Does he know that I am falling for him?

I didn't say anything and looked out with him. Too happy and too much in love to say anything to him.

Then the old woman came with the man distributing the dishes.

"Do you want any help?" I offered them.

"If we tell you to serve, then how can we call you our customer?" The old man smiled.

I was embarrassed because I couldn't predict whether he was mocking or speaking normally.

"Mumma I am hungry!" The little girl complained.

"Just a second baby!" The old woman replied.

"Why don't you join us?" River opened his mouth.

"Nope, please enjoy, we can wait!" The old man said.

"As a customer, we request the owner to please join us, and as the owner, I am sure you will fulfil our small request!"

"Granted!" They smiled.

Then they began to arrange food, and then I got up quickly, joining chairs with us, while River also got a tiny chair for the little girl.

Then they said a prayer and began to have their food. We also began to eat our food.

"You people are so kind, May God bless you with a wonderful future and beautiful kids!" The old woman said.

I was surprised, but indeed I would love to accept this with my open heart.

"Thank you so much!" I could see the happiness on his face.

"I have never seen you guys over here" Old man tried to recall.

"We are from Los Angeles!" River replied.

"Oh, must have come here to see the waterfalls!" The old woman said.

"What year?" The old man asked.

"Pardon?" River asked.

"Aren't you guys here to celebrate your anniversary Then asked.

"Nope, actually, I am chasing her!" River decarled.

"Did she say yes?" The old man smirked.

"I am trying from my end Uncle!" River replied politely.

"Take your time, honey, but not too much, otherwise you will waste your youth and become like me!" She looked at me.

I smiled and focused on my food. It's something complicated which can't be explained but still I replied

"Sure!" With a polite smile.

We chatted for a while, and then we left. This time, I made sure that I paid the bill. So that we are even and at the end I won't regret.

Then we drove silently until we reached the hotel, which was quiet and calm. Because the dinner time is already over and people might have gone to sleep.
