Through the Wings of Timeless Love - Chapter 70：Timeless Love

Inspiringly, she woke up at 6:30 pm and was immediately refreshed under the soothing calmness brought by the shower drizzles. The slow flowing droplets, titillating her soul, almost made her blank and clingy – the admission in the hospital was such a hermit experience and she thought more of that miraculous survival. In continuity, the waters splashing on her face seemed rejuvenating her entire senses and refilled more her desire to get moving, despite the comatose encounter kept coming to her mind, retaliating the stigma and trauma. When she’s got done and went out from the bathroom, there’s that enough delight to wear her below-the-knee dress with hood which is fit for a night walk. She also added a pinkish powder and lip tint with a spray of perfume on her purse. In front of the mirror, she slowly and carefully combed her shiny hair dawning on the waistline. However, on her head, there’s still that spot where it was slightly painful hovering with few stitches. Eventually, when she opened the door out of their room, she was totally stunned seeing him in stoic beside the door, putting his hands on his jean’s pockets while waiting for her to get out. He was not even saying anything but avoided looking at her.

” Hi, are you ready for our walk?” Then she put her left hand inside his right arm and smiled at him. It was enough to kiss her hand and moved out of the door.

” Hmm where did you take a bath?”

” While you were sleeping I had it. I actually stayed long inside and also fixed the tub for you, did you use it?” He smiled back at her while they were getting inside the car.

” Not yet, I thought it was still defective. Maybe tonight I’ll use it. Thanks.”

The dark skies began to brighten up while their car had reached the first destination by the bay. There were street foods all around and she excitingly chose “kwek-kwek”.

” Hmm…these things might make you crazy in going back here, try at its best.” Then she smiled watching at him on his first bite.

” How is it..” She asked.

” It’s yummy, I can taste the extremely sour coconut vinegar mixed with spices and chilli over the cucumber slices and yellow coated egg.” But his eyes were closing as he swallowed what he chewed up. Then they both laugh.

They have consumed enough “kwek-kwek” and hopped from one stall to the other and as if they have tried and tasted everything on display, while he also picked a cone of chocolate ice cream. In contrary, the night was getting darker and they walked a little farther in order to reach the end of the bricks. Then they both sat down by the brink, watching the raging waters below.

” See that thing coming out from the horizon…” She smiled and looked at him.

” Hmm…I thought something, come , hold my hand, let’s travel quickly back home.

Off from the crowd and they boarded in and he managed to go back home by cutting the travel time short, passing to small alleys and not-so-busy streets. So when they reached home, he right away carried her upstairs as she was holding tight on his broad shoulders, curiously looked at him. After reaching to their bedroom, he locked it and hurriedly opened the windows in front of their bed, facing the chestnut tree. The moon started to appear on their sights. He was silent and backed off then removed the shirt following by the popping of big wings on his back. They never flap yet but they were two big white wings that looked so beautiful. So to speak, his wings were taller than him whose feathers were incredibly so distinguished, apart from that with the birds.

” Wow… beautiful, aren’t they heavy?” She moved around him and touched his wings.

A little while, after being mesmerized by the beautiful wings in front of her, Karla ran towards the bathroom, refreshed a little and brushed, then took a bigger shawl that she left inside and brought it with her for she had a hunch that they will be flying and she might need it to cover her. With full excitement she spoke.

” Are…are you sure…” Karla awkwardly smiled at him.

” Absolutely, yes. We’re heading up there, in the heights. Do you like it?” He asked her.

” Yes! I..I wish too.”

” Then let’s do it, I’ll fly again with you.”

” Hmm..how…” She bite her lips that seemed so excited, and like a child, she moved closer in front of him as he carried her so lightly on his arms.

” This could be your first and last hitch to fly with me. But don’t worry, sometimes, the weight of power is the beginning of defeat. Lighter lives bring us simply to survive, no pressures, no standards but just us – together. I’ll return to the heavens everything entrusted to me so to stay by your side in this lifetime. Okay, towards the portal.” Then he flew in the skies with her and she could really see the blurry lights of cityscapes over the cottony clouds, she enjoyed the sight-seeing and so trusting him, cuddling her.

” Magnificent! the feeling is different, I’m getting speechless…” She whispered.

” Wow! a galactic scenic view. Exquisite.”

Then he smiled, settling his wings to hide inside his back. He then took Karla’s shawl and placed it on the ground.

” What are you doing.” Then she smiled.

” We’ll stay here tonight.”

She slowly sat down on it and looked at the mountains, shivering with cold as it gets through her heart.

” Angels are coming to and fro, we might disturb their missions while we chat around.” She smiled dryly while putting her hands akimbo then sat down.

” No. No one will come and get out since I just remember when we were at the baywalk – today is the angels’ briefer conference – they’re all in heaven for the attendance.” He smiled and looked at her.

” I…I see…there are still such gathering in heaven.” She funnily smiled.

” Yes.” Then he moved too close and sat in front of her face-to face, clasping her hands and he put them on his face. It seems she could not breath and was seemingly suffocated by the centuries of his desire. They both felt that sober night full of palpitations and their warmth embrace dominated and caressed the night along with the dazzling force of the moon above that influence the gallant beauty of the northern star. Indeed, the heavenly bodies are crucial example of long lost relationships that even if how many times they’re lost at each other, away within a period, after all, encircling around the orbit takes just a form of getting more involved to one another. It is, but fate, when you are tricked by time, lost but found each other back to such communing and delightful greatness that swiftly keeps for a timeless love.
