Sanctity is not defined by your actions but
instead by your thought and the purity of your soul!

In
deep slumber, there she was, lying like an angel amidst white and blue sheets.
The heave of her chest as she took long breaths while lost in dreamland, he could clearly see.
But, it was time for him to go, to leave her side again like every other day and head to another world .
She opened her eyes as he stretched out hand met the empty side of the bed to nothingness.
The sun’s rays caressed her skin, creating warmth enough to fight the harsh cold morning breeze.
But, she chose to keep her eyes shut, to gather warmth from his image that she saw in her dreams.

As the sun wore its evening clothes and the
stars gathered around to see it vanish in the horizon, she crossed the streets,
seemingly unbothered about the cat calls and lewd comments. She knew that her
image was being violated in the filthy minds of these people but she preferred
to not think of it even thought it perturbed her, subconsciously.

He sat there, in the dark corner,
preferring to look at her eyes while the others ogled at her gyrating
body. While the others tried to lure her by offering wads of notes, he
lured her with his heart. But, she kept her distance away from him, if only
physically, as she circled around them in seemingly obscene yet graceful
movements!
She got teens of offers being the prettiest
of the lot, but when she stepped out of the green room, after washing away the
thick layers of makeup, while the beads of sweat still clung to her, reminding her of the act, she could see him
awaiting for her like every other night, to cleanse her mind just like the gentle breeze cleansed her
off her sweat and toil, while she sat behind him on his bike.
**
Their love was one of a kind, as pure as
the dew drops that the cold mornings left, as pure as the breeze that the
mountains summoned, as pure as the silver beam of moonlight, as pure as the
silent hearts of the twinkling stars. Only that, the world refused to see it.
To the world, their relationship was adulterous and immoral even!
As they lay holding hands, conversing
silently, the night witnessing the sanctity of their pure relationship as
opposed to the several other society defined yet impure relationships, he leant
over and whispered “Will you marry me?”
The silence that followed reverberated
louder than any cacophony but all she said was “Yes” forgetting for just one
minute that she had mouths to feed who solely depended on her, while he made a
silent promise that he wouldn’t come in whatever way she chose to live for her
own reasons which he perfectly understood and respected!
Some
relationships, we might not see clearly, but each of them have their own purity
!
