THE EARTH AND HER MOON!
THE EARTH AND HER MOON:
"Uncle, please drive a little fast! He already reached home two hours ago! We are still on the road! Please drive fast! I just don't understand how we missed him at the airport. How I am so useless for everything!" Tang Xian said to the driver who was trying to concentrate on driving.
Uncle, you know how much I looked for him, at the airport? I just need to hurry up now. I was waiting for him for so long and when I was supposed to meet him, I just ruined that chance! How can I do this?
Uncle please just drive faster, why today you are driving so slow? Please uncle a little bit faster! You need to hurry up! He just doesn't like it when people come late! In Korea when someone used to come late, he used to just leave everything then and there only!
He was always this stubborn, it was just impossible for someone to make him understand things other than aye! Aye is always his best friend! Nowadays he gets upset so early, I need to do something about it once I meet him! He wasn't like this before but since he went to Korea he became more and more temperamental"
Can't Xian was speaking non-stop while coming back home with the driver.
His Moon was supposed to meet him at the airport but maybe he was still angry at him for letting him go away from him!!!
"Yes, he is still angry at me, maybe that's why he left me alone at the airport! You can never change Judi! Still angry on your gege but gege knows that you are angry because you never wanted to go away from your Earth.
I know it's not your fault but your love for your gege that makes you do things which you don't want to do.
But Judi I am tired of living alone now. If now you are going to go away from your Earth I will surely die! Judi, just waits for a little while. I am coming, I am coming to you soon!"
Tang Xian's thoughts were wandering through all the lanes of his memory where he got parted with his Judi. They never left his back. They always haunted him like an old ghost.
"Uncle please drive fast, he has already reached home! Mama was telling me to come home fast so that..."
Tang Xian was about to speak some more things about him and his Judi but got interrupted by his best friend who was trying to make sense out from his constant babbling! She almost shouted hard looking at hyper Tang Xian.
"Oh shut up, Xian Xian! Can you please let him concentrate on driving? You are torturing him for the last half an hour! We know your Judi is finally here but can you please relax a bit?? See, you are already soaked in your sweat! Is this the way to welcome your soulmate??"
Lu Yanli almost shouted at her best friend Tang Xian after taking his hand in her own hands
"But Yan Yan...He is already at h..."
"Home for the last two hours. We are still on the road. Judi must be waiting! He must be tired. What if we reach late and he sleeps? Then how are you going to talk to him? What if Judi will feel bad for it?
Judi will get disheartened...Judi this Judi that. Can you give us a little break Xian Xian?? I am really angry right now. If you dare to say a single word now, Xian ge!"
"Don't you dare to call me that Yan Yan..."
The hand which was resting in her hands was taken away abruptly as soon as he got called by his favourite word but someone else's mouth,
"Yes I know only your Judi can call you, big brother, but I will call you Xian ge, not one time but hundreds of times if you speak or ask about driving and time! Do you even know how many times you've said the same thing since we left the airport??
Do you even realize that you are talking and talking like a broken record? Xian, nothing is wrong going to happen now. Everything is going to get all right! NOTHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN NOW!!!"
Lu Yanli traced the last sentence to support her best friend's emotional state.
"Believe me, Xian Xian! We will reach home in the next 15 minutes and you are going to meet him finally! Xian Xian, it's not time for your mind to play that game with you again! it's time for you to finally meet your soulbound!"
When he heard her speak about his Soulbound, he just looked at her with understanding.
"Now please listen to me, Xian Xian! Just sit quietly and breathe properly. I am afraid of you Xian Xian. You are being so extremely happy right now, just by hearing that he is back.
All I want right now is for you to focus on your breathing. Yes, he is back and he called aye to tell us about it. You heard his voice, right? His voice was not distant and hostile like before, it sounded so warm and cosy.
Yes, he didn't speak to you directly but there must be a reason and you know it very well! You have to give him time to apprehend everything before you start to fathom his reactions. Xian Xian, don't get discouraged from showing your warmth to him, even if the future is unsuitable! You can't afford to get ill again like before..."
The events from the past made him shiver again! No, his Judi is here. Moon has finally come back! He can't let anything go wrong for them before he doesn't get to know about all those missing days of his absence in Moon's life!
Though the Earth always kept looking over her Moon still wanted to know everything from her Moon's lips.
Lips!!!
His beautiful face, his beautiful eyes, his beautiful lips. Those lips which touched his ten years back bound his soul into his.
{Small flashback of ten years back.}
Earth still remembered the first and last kiss of theirs when they parted! Moon came to her home and hid in her terrace which was their secret place since very young!
When Moon realized what his father was up to, he tried everything to use against his father but his father was furious about the incident that happened in school with them.
The Earth still remembered the shivering warm body of Moon, when she found him hiding in a small terrace. He was so warm and shivering from the cold he felt due to fever!
The fever that came because of the beating from his father! Those moisturized eyes, containing silver pearls in them, continuously tainting his face! The innocent face became red and swelled due to constant attacks of emotions and beating within a few days!
How can Earth forget Moon's so worn out face, which scared the hell out of Earth! Earth's breathing almost stopped at the sight, when she saw the horrible condition of Moon!
Earth came forward as soon as she saw Moon hiding behind the wall, to take him under her wings but the words she heard from her Moon next, broke her heart into millions of pieces!
"Xian ge, shhhhh!! Don't tell them I am here otherwise they will take me away from you! Please, please gege you don't need to speak a word okay!
Just keep quiet when they will ask you where I am. Just tell them you don't know where I am! Don't say a single word about me! It took me so much effort to come here!"
Earth's Moon hugged her tightly, so tightly that Earth felt suffocated in his embrace!!! Her clothes got soaked with his tears, so does the heart!
His pain stabbed Earth's heart thousands of times to make his every sense, mind, soul go weak, so weak that they almost died in the process of helping Moon to stay strong!!!
Then suddenly Moon stopped crying deciding something, he wiped both of their tinted faces with his handkerchief and asked her to run away with him.
The most unexpected thing that Earth heard that day was, her Moon asking her about going away from everyone for the relationship they shared between them, for the love they shared between them!!!
But stubborn Earth didn't listen to the Moon. She denied Moon for the first time and the last time that day, by the harsh words she could say for the Moon...To her Moon!
Moon begged her, told her that they will part them for life but Earth didn't listen to him! Earth said that she will handle everything! She told him that she will handle everything but who was she kidding that day?
The only one who thought she was correct was herself and that proved that day only. Even her ten years old Moon understood the meaning of her false promises.
Moon understood the fact of life way before his Earth could even think of it in her mind! The most important and undeniable truth of their life...Parting, their bodily parting, maybe forever!
Their hearts were entangled with each other but still, Moon needed more of his Earth! He wanted to mark his Earth, he wanted to mark his soul for himself forever but still couldn't make out what he should do for it!
Moon kept looking at his Earth for some time and then something unexpected happened, which Earth could never have thought of in her whole life!
Moon took Earth's face in his little hands and put his warm lips on stinging lips! Yes, Earth's lips were in pain. because somebody else violated those lips before that day very harshly which almost killed Earth at that time!
Earth got Moon's first kiss. Her lips were paining so much with that touch but she still endured all the agony inside her heart! She tried hard not to wince in pain because that pain was much less than the pain of their parting!
The kiss of love, parting, anguish, longing, belonging, sacrifice but not an ounce of lust, jealousy!!!
Moon understood that the Earth is not going to listen to him now and even Earth also understood that her Moon gave up! Finally, he gave up on his Earth!
How he could've trusted the Earth who was in constant denial of their more than love relationship!
He was a mere ten years old when he understood that Earth was his love and he was going to part away from his Earth maybe forever!!! He put every feeling, every emotion, all love in that kiss trying to bound his Earth's very soul, with his soul forever!!! He needed to give something to his Earth to mark her for him forever!
Author's Note:
The intimacy shown in this chapter has some reasons which you will know afterwards.
The reasons why Jun felt the gravity to kiss his Xian at such a tender age will come when so many things will open up about their past events. Till that time please take this kiss as a pure heartfelt emotion of a 10 years old boy.
Thank you so much in advance!
