TALE OF THE STAR AND ITS MOON

KABIR'S POV:- I was broken. I was distorted. I had lost everything. these three things ran in my mind on loop. as if, someone had hit the repeat button. I was drowning, in the ocean of these thoughts. I had lost my mother to cardiac arrest, and on the same dreadful day the love of my life. I was the only child to my parents and my father martyred on a mission he was sent to. The day I had lost my mother, I had no idea that my life would turn upside down, just like that. I was dealing with her loss, suddenly jess announced our breakup, without any reason or explanation. j:-" I should not be doing this,but.." k:-"what happened jess, do not scare me." he slowly snaked his arms around her waist. j:-" I.. I want to break up with you." k:-"YOU WHATT? but why? if there is something , we can solve that together." j:-" NO KABIR. I want a break up. right now, you will not be able to understand but this is for longer good." k:-"but why? why NOW?" j:-" you are going from a emotional trauma and I cannot take an emotional baggage with me. I want to travel the world and live my life and enjoy these moments. So I am sorry." Saying this, she left me hanging with that burden on a reason's name. I was immediately summoned for a mission. For a little while, my mind was not pondering on the negative thoughts, but after successfully completing my mission, I was back to square one. seeing me go through so much , my friends planned a vacation, so that I could bounce off that mindset of mine lately. ================================================================================ I was sitting on the beach, facing the roaring ocean and the full moon, peacefully and quietly soaking in its beauty. Two empty beer bottles sat beside me. I was deep into my introspection when I felt two little taps on my shoulders. g:-" mind if I join you." k:-" no, the beach is yours by all means." g:- shoving a beer bottle towards him, " want one?" k:-" gladly.If you allow it." accepts the beer. g:-" so... mind if I ask what are thinking about." k:-" and... why do you believe I was thinking something." g:-" a little common sense. Sitting alone, at an almost empty beach, with two empty bottles, facing the beach, must be thinking very hard." A LITTLE STARING MOMENT BETWEEN THEM. k:-" well... I don't know, should I or should I not unload my burden on a stranger." g:-" alright... but, people do go by saying, a stranger won't judge, if you tell a story. And besides night is very young, I have free time on my hands and a filled and chilled beer bottle to finish." that beach night with that stranger girl was another stone being turned upside down in my life. for, the first time after a while, I felt a strong pull towards that girl from the night. I felt a pull of such strong attraction towards her, which I did not even feel for jess, whom I thought, I loved so dearly. WAIT... DID I JUST SAY, ' I THOUGHT'. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. That girl definitely messed with my head. But, then why did I went on finding her the next day, and I still want to find her. It feels like she just pulled me out from dark hopeless hole of mine. And, why does it feel like, she is the only one that listens to me, understands me. And, it strongly feels like she is my only HOPE. Co authoring with gwynethpaltrow123
