When standing right in the center of the busy city, next to a lot of random people around, there was still a kind of love rooted deeply in this life. There will be a Maya and Ethan romance; Maya and Ethan were not only two individuals but were also two souls joined by destiny itself.
A bright yellow morning light painted the little roads with its golden tone and Maya made hasty steps and went to the nearest bookstore for work. Ethan, the man with the guitar moaned in unison with keening melodies off a street corner as though the sun had melted the promise of words into oaths without knowing what they meant.
It was as if eternity opens up above them and stopped their time for a moment, and they could feel the space around them as if they were the only ones existed. As if something was dragging her forward, Maya came up by Ethan, and her heart was banging with the mixture of thrill and the feelings of being timid.
"Your music is beautiful," she said as if touching a fine musical instrument, her voice was lower than lower.
The boy's glance got lifted to the ceiling, his eyes shining with the warmth. "Thank you," he said, his tone revealing the begin of a wide smile of his."I'm Ethan."
"She's Maya," she replied as she gave him a confident and warm smile.
And it was the spark, her deadward look, and their roving gram, the stolen glances, lingering touches, and whispered promises, that marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. They let each other into their minds, thoughts and hearts, criss-crossed the difficult paths together, and overtime they created their oasis of peace and tranquility.
However, when weekdays turned into weekends which turned into months, they together had to face their fair share of hurdles. And they argued about insignificant matters, he believed he wasn’t worthy enough, and she asked herself if what they had was real love.
Over living the ordeal together for a long time, they remained where and when there was nothing left they had their love and care, their relationship deepened day after day. They unraveled their ways of speaking to one another, forgave strongly, and cherished each and every moment they spent together, giving with all their love.
On a grey afternoon of light rain, when they were both pressed together under the improvised umbrella, Maya happened to look into Ethan’s eyes and saw her future staring back at her in them. And she did not even say a word. She took his hand between hers realizing that they were meant to be together, until forever in the end.
"May there be as much love between you as all the stars in the sky if you will only look up at them," Ethan whispered into Maya's hair. In those moments, the raindrops seemingly fell with greater intensity outside. A sense of peace and contentment enveloped Maya as she grasped for her feelings, "Time and space do not embrace us here." The depth and strength of this love was unfathomable, theirs would be a love that would last forever.
The sun was setting down, it was casting a warm reflection on the surface of the world as Maya was holding Ethan's hand, they went together to unknown, love was immeasurably on her heart, the hope never be diminishing. And that to them, it was no matter what the struggle entailed and how hard the journey was, along side they were, they would always find a way home.
