A Night's Tale. . .

Sitting under the moonlight he wondered, why he isn’t at the party right across the street. He probably wants to sit alone or perhaps has no company, the reason could be anything. After a while he decided to go to this party and enjoy the soft music that was playing, have the delicious food and drink wine all night long. He walked in and sat in the corner with his drink in his hand, observing each person who passed by.
It was almost mid-night when a lady walked into the hall so beautiful that everybody gave a second look. She looked like an angel; her long hair, luscious lips, those mesmerizing eyes. Oh! Everything was meaningless in front of her beauty. And then she sat on a sofa right across him. Many people came, asked her to join them for a dance but she turned them all down. Then he walked towards her and asked her the same question, knowing that she would obviously say no but to his surprise without saying a word she got up and danced.
They looked into each others eyes and danced as if no one was there, no one was watching. There was a strange chemistry between them. After hours of dancing she looked as fresh as morning dew. Alas! It was time for her to leave. They kissed goodbye!!

Many years passed by and he waited. Waited for her in the hope that maybe she’d come back or perhaps write a letter but she never did. All he had were the unforgettable sweet memories of that night. Her thoughts haunted him day and night. He just could not get her out of his mind, so one fine morning he decided to go to her house where she said she lived. Landed at the front gate and rang the bell. The housekeeper answered the door and said, “what can I do for you sir?” He introduced himself said, “I am here to meet Catherine” The housekeeper looked down in disappointment and gave him a letter which said;
Dear Travis,
I knew you would come looking for me someday. I want to thank you for the amazing time I had with you that night. It was the most lovely, special, cherished night of my life. I have cancer and I am dying. By the time you’ll read this, I’d probably be dead. But you should know that I am satisfied with my life, for you somehow taught me so much about love and life in such little time. I wish I could be with you but god plays his own tricks. I want you to know, I need you to know that I am glad I met you. I don’t know how and why but I believe that I know you from before and I love you, will always do for all my life. I will be there with you in your heart and I’d be watching you over.
With love
Catherine

Tears in his eyes, he looked up and said I love you too angel.
