Ary knew it was time to leave. She felt a deep pain every time she had to travel for duty that kept her away for a day or two from Toby, her sweetheart. They were at the Airport, eyes locked, both knowing that they will miss each other for the next 48 hours. No words were spoken, but their hearts felt the pain. This time as well they did not forget to share their wired headset and listen to their favourite music before they parted ways.
Toby knew he had to lead the
way, as Ary never liked walking back alone. He took two steps forward. She felt
the warmth of his body closing in on her. Toby extended his arms and wrapped
them around her. She felt lost in the deep valleys of his eyes. Before even she
knew, she had closed her eyes.
As always, Toby made the next
move, the one that Amy loved about him. With a gentle movement, he pulled her
closer towards him. They were no longer two. Their love never had
boundaries.
She felt her feet no longer
touching the ground. He had lifted her up in his strong arms and slowly but
steadily led her to where she needed to head to. As they reached the point
after which he was not allowed, he took the headset back and safely placed her
feet on the floor. He kissed and wished her a safe journey. Finally, with great
difficulty, he released his arms around her and let her go.
They looked at each other for
one last time. He waved at her and she acknowledged with a nod. She was all by
herself and moved forward to head to her destination. Toby watched her for a
minute and with eyes welled up, he turned back and headed home.
