David was tossing and turning on his bed for hours now, feeling restless like his fairy is thinking of him, missing him. He got up from his bed , looked at the sky and kept staring at the stars. 

"Fairy, my fairy.... Are you dreaming of me? You know, they say when you couldnt sleep at night thn you are in the dreams of someone you love. i wish you come in my dreams too, im missing you so much".

He went to bed and with much trying , fell asleep too.

David woke up with a start, like someone called for him, was it his fairy calling out his name? he wondered. he looked at the clock and saw it was 10 past 8. 

" Oh God! Im late. Emily must be waiting for me!"

He jumped out of the bed , got ready hurriedly and rushed. He went straight to the class and found emily already working on the project they decided to work together. he apologised and she just smiled and said "its  okay, I have just started myself. What hold you so long?"

David was almost on the verge of saying 'my fairy' but then the way Emily was looking up at him, eye to eye and smiling, the word just got stuck in his mouth and he could only just find himself drowning in her eyes. Eyes, like he has seen these eyes much before he even met her. He tried hard to remember but all he could do was find himself staring in her eyes. How he never seen her eyes before? 

Emily was the first one to break the spell and move away her eyes. she felt nervous and seeing the look on David's face she knew he was embarrassed so to lighten the moment and make things look comfortable she just laughed...loudly... teasingly saying " David, you sleepy- head, wake up. were you sleep-walking? she laughed again.

David - nah, noo , i just...  

Emily - David lost for words. she laughed again.

David - ok , you miss tease, now lets focus on work.

Emily chuckled to the way he said it but inside she was left wondering why he looked at her like that? and why she let him? she was confused but she gave up telling her mind to focus on the work as David suggested. 

Later,  Agnes saw David sitting in the library and it was a break for the lunch. So, only David was in the library. She went inside and looking at him said, “Hi David! Are you not feeling hungry?” 

"O Agnes! How are you?” 

"I’m fine! But, boy, have you already taken your lunch?” 

"No, I haven’t. I was getting late for the college so I just forgot my lunch-box on my table in my room. But I’m not feeling hungry.”

 “If you like, let’s sit in the garden and finish my lunch-box together?” She wanted to take him out from the library to a place where she could tell him about her feelings for him. 

"No, thanks! Agnes, I want to read my uncle’s letter first. It arrived just this morning and as I was already getting late I couldn't read it thn. I want to read it now" inwardly David realised he forgot to mention this to Emily but what hppnd that time, he couldn't talk with her after that. Although he knew, she did her best to keep things comfortable. She is no nice. She understands him so perfectly. He will tell her about the letter later.

Nobody ever wrote him any letter except his uncle who would write him when sending some money. He was happy to have heard from his uncle. David opened the letter and began reading it. 

"David, you can read it there.” David smiled and went out with her. 

"Yes, there! Let’s sit there!” 

"What’s he written?” 

"Uncle wants to introduce a girl to me. He’s seen her for me. She is the daughter of my neighbouring aunt’s younger sister.” 

"For marriage?” Agnes was surprised. 

"Yeah! But I am gonna write him not to ask me for marriage again.” 

"That’s good! You can choose your own life-partner, can’t you, David?” 

"Yes, I can.” 

Agnes got happy now. “Let’s eat now! You will get weak if you don’t eat properly. Do you understand? You need a girl who can take care of you.” 

“No, I don’t need any.”

 “Why, David?” 

David wanted to leave her there and then. But then she said, “What happened, David? Let’s forget it! What are you going to do after you finish your study?” 

“I haven’t thought about it yet. I want to travel across the country.” 

“Great! I will accompany you!” “Then I had better travel back to my town and help my uncle.” David laughed out. Agnes understood the joke and laughed too. 

“O David! You are so funny! How I wish to be with you always! David, I just love you so much!” She said all that in one breath. 

David couldn’t understand what to say. He got up and started for the library. 

"What happened, David? Don’t I look pretty? Don’t you love me?” She held his hands tightly. 

“Agnes, I regard you as my friend. I already love someone else. I have to go now.” 

Agnes was a stubborn girl. She was not going to let him go so easily. “David, who’s she?”  She thought he would say Emily. she hated that thought but David not just surprised her but shocked her with what he said.

David - My Fairy.

Agnes - Fairy???

 David thought for a while. He closed his eyes and smiled. “She is my kind of girl. She’s my fairy who loves me so much. I am waiting for her to meet me some day in my life.” 

Shockingly she asked - "Fairy? Meet you some day? What do you mean? Have you never seen her?” 

"Yes, I have always seen her in my dreams. She calls me from a far away place where she’s waiting for me.” 

"David, are you mad or what? You love a girl whom you have just seen in your dreams and not in realty!” 

"She is not an ordinary girl. She is my fairy who will change my life and make it beautiful with her smiles.”

 “Oh! I just can’t get you! What are you talking, boy? Look at me. I love you and that’s the reality. Touch my hands and touch my face and you will feel how much I love you.” She wanted to wrap him with her arms. But David kept some distance from her. 

“Agnes, my fairy has become my life. And I believe that she will meet me soon. My heart tells me she is missing me somewhere. You will get a good life-partner. Better than me! Yes!” He stepped forward to go. 

Agnes held his hands again. “David, a girl whom you have never seen nor heard… who is totally a stranger to you… how can you stay in love with her forever?” She said pausing after each sentence.

"Agnes, I see her in my heart. She is my soul. She is no stranger to me. I feel I have known her for ages.” 

Both of them stood quite for a few moments. “Agnes, how can I make a commitment with you when I have already promised her to be with her forever and for always…?” 

“But you haven’t seen her!” 

"Agnes, have you ever seen God?” 

"No!” “Then why do you still believe in Him?” 

Agnes had a ready answer - "Because my God lives in my heart. I can feel His presence everywhere I go.” 

“I am happy, Agnes, that you think so. But tell me, why do you still believe in Him when you can’t see Him?” David repeated his question with a smile on his face. 

"I can’t see God but He is near me. That’s my belief.” She seemed to know everything about God.

"Agnes, will you change your God if you find some other one whom you can see?” 

"No! No ways! Why should I change my God? God is not a thing that I can take out of my heart and throw it away. God lives in my heart and He will always.” 

“Agnes, my fairy is my God whom I worship in my heart. If you can’t leave your God, how can I do that? No! No ways!” David smiled as he imitated her words. 

“Butttt… I…” David didn’t stand there long enough to hear her words. He went into his class room where Emily was waiting for him. 

“Hi, David!” She jumped on her stool. “Hi! Emily…” He said sitting beside her. “I’m happy that I met you. Because you always understand my feelings.”

 “Yeah! But why are you saying that?” She sensed there was something hidden in his heart. 

“Emily, you are my best friend in the whole world!” Just always remember that.

Emily looked at him and smiled and he smiled back, like sealing the moment in a promise of unsaid words, words that said "Together Forever". In Their minds they thought it was about friendship and they will nevet let anything come between their friendship...but Hearts knew better....
