Silent words

“This seems just like a movie set!” she exclaimed.

He laughed. Thinking how even little things excited her. It was one of the qualities he loved in her. 

But he wouldn’t tell her that. As always.

 

“You are such a city girl. Getting excited at a light house! Really?”he asked.

“It’s not just a lighthouse! It...It...It’s a beautiful light house!”she stuttered.

“Yaa right!” He looked at her, crinkled eyes and a breath taking smile.

She dint like giving in, wanted to be right always. He knew  it and loved to see her face when she was about to admit he was right.

But he wouldn’t tell her that. As always.

“Ohh...Alright!! It’s just a light house. And I don’t  get  to  see  much of  them  in  my city. Fine!”  She said giving in.

But in her head she knew that it was special for more reasons. It was special because she was here with him.

But she wouldn’t tell him that. As always.

“You know this is a perfect setting for a romantic twist in a story.  The sea, waves, twilight and a light house!! Here the guy realizes that he loves the girl and can’t live without her. Sigh!”She said looking at him. 

“Hmm… and then what happens? Does the girl also realize the same?”He asked, staring right into her eyes.

She looked at him and stumbled. No, she did not fall. She stumbled in her head! Her mind was swinging high on a swing.

The stare he gave her was not his usual one. There was something else in his question.

“Hmm…”she bought time to try and get her mind off the swing. But failed.

“What? The girl doesn’t love him?”He asked,eyebrows raised.

“No! No! She does. More than he could imagine!”She burst out.

Thud! In her head she had fallen off the swing!

He heaved a sigh of relief in his head. He had been scared. Scared to know that he knew wrong.  But her answer made it clear. She loved him too. As much as he did.

But he wouldn’t tell her that. As always.

“Smart girl! The guy would have jumped into the sea otherwise! That’s why he chose the place.” he said, walking towards his bike, a crooked smile on his face.

 She knew she had not read wrong. He did love her. She wanted to jump with joy or maybe get back on that swing and swing high! She decided on the latter.

But she wouldn’t tell him that. As always.

"The girl is much more than smart!"she said getting on the bike.
