I wake too early today and woke him up. we went to rooftop to see the sunrise. It was our first sunrise together as we married yesterday. It seemed like the first sunrise of my life which bring a lot of happiness in my life.
Looking at the sun I told him, "see how the light of sun broke the silence of darkness and lit up its light everywhere same way you break the loneliness of my life and completed me"
He said, " I love you so much Tia. I cannot describe how much I love you. You mean the whole world to me."
I replied," I love you too".
And he stared at the sunrise with a smile as I kept staring at him. What a beautiful face shining like the sun brining light to the darkness.
My life before him was a darkness .since childhood I was always alone. My parent left me in a orphanage and when I grew up I loved someone but he was a cheat and left me broken. I become a drug addicted and lost all Hope's from life. I was to close to death when he came to my life and made my life beautiful. and but he brought a light in my life.
Luther my husband is a scientist and i'm a writer. Most of the time we both sty buy in our own works but we always make time for each other. We were always together and happy.
Its been 3 years since our marriage. Today is a special day for him. He went to his ok place early. I was waiting for him to come home. I cooked his favourite food today for dinner because today is a special day.
He is a scientist who researches about the outer space. He works in NASA. He will be one of the persons who will visit Moon. After so many tests and trials he got the chance. Today the date will be published when they will go to Moon.
It was 8:34 when he entered home with a big smile in his face. He looked so happy. I have never seen him this happy. He rushed to me and he hold me with a tight hug me and kissed my forehead.
At the dinner table he told me everything that happened today. How he have to
prepare him and how and when he will go there. It seemed so exciting for him.
He said "after six months I will leave for moon. I wish I could take you there with me. We would travel the whole moon together and build a house there. No one would be there only you and me. How fun it would be. But what can do we cannot live in the moon and even I can't take you there with me."
I smiled at him but inside I was sad.
I asked him" how long will it take for for you to come back?"
He replied, "15 days".
I was a little bit disappointed. I cant stay a single day without him and how am I going to spend 15 days without him. It's hard for me to stay alone without him. He is my everything. I remember one day he didn't come home for too work and I couldn't sleep that night. Without him I'm empty.
He noticed that I was sad. He looked at me and said, "I know it's hard for you to stay without me but it's also hard for me to stay without you. I don't know how am I going to live this 15 day without you. I'm gonna miss you. We have got 6 month together let's stay happy and only 15 days gonna take. These 15 days will pass easily."
Tears left my eyes. He hold me in a hug. And I cried for for a long time in his arms.
Its been 4 months. Only 2 months left. I was stressed again. I started to cry in balcony and prayed for his good. He entered the balcony and saw me crying.
He hold my hand and asked me to come with him. I asked him here does he wants to go. He went to garage to the car and I followed him to the car as he said he wants to go somewhere. We both sit in the car. And he drove the car.
We were listening music in the car it was a beautiful moment because the sun is setting. We went to the lakeside bridge.
This bridge got a lot of memories because this is where I first met him and where he proposed me .We got out of the car when we reached near the bridge and he told me to walk with him.
By holding my hand he took me in bridge above the lake where the moon was reflecting in the water. It was so beautiful. The moon was shining like a diamond in the water. It seemed like th moon has came to close to us.
He said, "when I will be in the moon and when you will miss me come to this place when the moon will met the water, that's how we will always be together."
It's been already 6 months and I was standing outside in the field in a safe distant. while he was in the rocket ready to fly. I was standing there crying and praying for his good. I watched the space rocket to fly away leaving the clouds behind and disappear.
It's been two days since he left. Without him my life has become dark again. I wish he would come to me and he would brighten my day.
Something was bothering me for long. Something was wrong. I was missing him badly. I wang to see him .I took the car keys and rushed to the car and drove to the lakeside.
I was standing in the bridge watching the moon reflecting in the water. I wanted to tell him how badly I miss him.
In the car radio the news reporter said:
"BREAKING NEWS: the spacecraft that left for moon has exploded by a giant comet."
