A Rose & A Kiss!
The beatific red rose glittered in the shiny morning rays of the sun. He was standing in the rose gardens. Monitoring each rose carefully and appreciating the beauty of each rose individually, he caressed each petal of each rose. It was very hard for him to decide which rose to prick and cherish it forever. It was in fact hard to even prick a rose. They seemed so divine and full of bliss.
Thinking over and over he sat under an oak tree, resting in the meadows.The cool gusts of wind made him close his eyes. But after an eye blinking moment, his ears were notified with a sound that he heard, from the garden of those gleaming roses.
As a warrior by nature, his hands reached the sword on his belt. A swashing sound of the sharp edged sword was whispered in the air. And he walked with heavy footsteps to the direction of sound, that was the west direction.
He bowed slightly to left, at first he saw nothing, so he turned back but then before a blink of an eye he realised there was someone more gleaming than the roses standing near by.
He turned to look at that pretty lady, by seeing her aesthetic smile, his sword was slipped from his hand and he stood flabbergasted gazing at that pretty girl. When she smiled it seemed as if the red gleaming roses turned green with envy.
He was engaged in her by seeing the prepossessing inexplicable beauty she was gifted with. Butterflies were flying over her hands, but it seemed as if they were right in his heart. His heart fluttered with high pace.
He walked towards her. He as a soldier also had a small amount of boyish charm gifted. She too looked at him with somewhat same expressions.
"Hello pretty lady, your beauty is inexplicable" he said to her in a velvet voice;
She blushed and did downcast her eyes.
"Thank You" she bowed to him slightly, with the blush on her cheeks and said in her nightingale voice.
"Would you like to tap feet along with me, on this sound of nature?" He proposed a dance;
She couldn't say no.
And they danced. The roses peeped while the heavenly pair danced in the meadows. Even the clouds set aside so that sun could see them dancing. Birds began to sing and the wind blew more melodiously.
After a ball dance of a few moments, both of them stood still and gazed into each others eyes. Her eyes sparkled like pearls and he was able to resist the shine.
Slowly their lips came closer and it was a divine moment when a lifetime memory was created. It was hard to understand but it was a love among two souls.
She blushed and stood with her eyes casting down. He turned aside snd pricked the most beautiful rose that gleamed and slightly pushed her chin upward and gazing into her eyes said, "My lady, this is the rose i need you to cherish always as a souvenir of my love. I am a warrior and will have to abide by the duty. But promise to return this way, just for you. When i return i promise to stay forever with you."
"Oh charming warrior, i am the fairy of this meadow. And as per thee said i shall loose my beauty if i relate with a human." She said sadly;
He thought over.
"My lady, beauty is not what it looks outside, it needs to come from within.
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within"
Listening to this she smiled again.
"Just cherish this rose and i shall cherish the kiss and i promise to return this way, just be there with the rose no matter how you would be." He said with his back straight;
He looked in her eyes for one more time, he whistled and called over the horse and rode with full energy to fight the enemies and return back to her.
As promised he returned to her, deeply wounded.
There was an ugly women standing folding her hands back.
"Miss have you seen my lady anywhere?" He asked gently;
He was suffering with the pain of his wounds of war.
The women blushed and showed him the rose. At first he was stunned but then he remembered that divine moment spent with her and his promise.
He smiled, embraced her with the same love filled in his heart and kissed her forehead.
Suddenly there was bright light from above and winds blew with very high pace. The vision became blurred and he could soon see nothing. To prevent his eyes from getting hurt from the storm which started soon, he closed them. He felt the storm very hard but did not leave her hand. And soon it was at rest.
He slowly opened his eyes to see he was amused to see no wounds on his body and the same young fairy by his side. She smiled and just embraced him. He held the rose along with her and kissed her and promised to stay by her side, as it was u folded what had happened. And they lived in the meadows forever with a rose and a kiss cherished always.
