30 Days Drabble - 05

Moon

.

"I wish I could keep the moon visible in the sky every night," says Abhijeet, as they lie cuddling in each other's embrace one night on the terrace of his house. "or grab it from the sky and place it in front of your eyes forever," he adds.

"Why?," asks Tarika scooting closer to him.

Abhijeet turns to a side and faces her completely. "You look absolutely enchanting when it shines in your eyes," he whispers, his lips lightly brushing against hers.

Tarika gives a broad smile, her eyes sparkling a hundredfold than before, making Abhijeet almost lose his senses for a moment.

"It looks divine in your eyes too," she says, before turning flat on her back again. "But I wouldn't grab it from the sky. Let it stay there," she says.

"Why?," asks Abhijeet.

"Because I love staring at it. It's so peaceful!," she smiles, before turning her head to him and adding, "you know the term for that? Selenophile! A person who's attracted to the moon!," she says, the said moon shimmering in her eyes. "I can spend hours staring at the moon!," she declares.

"And I can spend hours staring at the moon in your eyes. That's where the universe stops for me!," says Abhijeet as he brushes a stray curl out of her face before kissing her forehead.
