❝ When two stars collide with each other they create a universe In the same way,
when we collide.... ❞

        LOOKING OUTSIDE the window and watching the arrival of autumn in its full glory has its own fun. All red and gold, with mellow mornings and cold nights.

        The maple trees are especially vibrant with colors of red and golden-yellow. The oaks along the roadway glowed yellow and bronze, streets are covered with crunchy brown leaves. It is one and only season in the whole year I love.

           The way fall brings changes everywhere from cool breeze to golden leaf's and mark the new beginning ahead, in the same way it brings some bad and new memories in my present life.

        These maple leaves forces me to reminiscence the moments spent with my Aunt Eddie. It also reminds me of her death anniversary which is tomorrow and probably the worst moment of my life.

         She was like the one of best thing happened to me, after loosing my parents at early childhood was a nightmare for me but, there was my Aunt who was always there for me. She raised me as her own child. She was like my backbone.

       Pushing off myself from the windowsill I started rummaging through the drawers in my bookshelf.
there's it is... found it her diary, a precious possession of my aunt.

       Running my fingers through the black and golden carved leather cover of the diary and dusting it with my hands. I found something written on the top in beautiful bold letters. Tracing the written words with my fingertips it reads...

Our journey to stars ~by Amber Edith Anderson
Dedicated to: ~my love Emmanuel Jonathan Villi

       Turning the page, I found it as memoir written by her for uncle Emm. Aunt Eddie and Uncle Emm were inseparable, the love which they share for each other was undescriptive and strange too. She was a novelist by profession whereas Uncle Emm was a country music artist. They both were well known among people at their time.

21:45, 1973

Dear Emm,

Stargazing has always fascinated me, it is kind of routine of mine to watch stars at night.
It gives me an immense pleasure and absolute peace.

Today when I was watching at dark sky, I was surprised to notice that there was only two stars twinkling. They both were so far from each other and were shining in its own charm. They weren't part of any constellation still were twinkling and looks mesmerizing as- stand alone.

They say when we gaze at stars basically, we're peeping into past ─the light travel from thousands of kilometer far and reaches to our eyes as twinkle. I remember the day we first met at 'Mama Rosie Diner'. I was instantly lost at the mere sight of those beautiful green eyes and breathtaking smile. At that particular moment I was sure you were the only one for me.

You know when two stars collide they create either an universe or a nebula. It results from enormous crash and huge collision. Likewise when we collided, I knew that the journey of our love will consist of some crash or destruction. Yet I still hope we will definitely survive these complications and will find new wonders ahead.

But when I saw you today after 3 years, the feelings cornered inside my heart started erupting. At sudden blow of your presence I couldn't stir myself. You were twinkling like a stand alone star and we were far apart from each other. It seems like we were complete strangers shining on our own fame.

The ardency of our passionate love which can burn the longing, ignorance and anger will win at any cost. Because I believe in us. The thing we have for each other is very unique. It can't be describe in form of words or symbol.

Whose fusion which will generate a whole new world, a new beginning where we can cherish our happiness and love. I'm waiting for that moment even if it will take forever or infinite.

Yours's Amber

          I always knew that Aunt Eddie was a beautiful author and the way she describe her love story in the book called "Our journey to stars" was astounding and aw-inspiring. Their romantic affair was deep and emotional.

        Tears were rolling down the cheeks and was staining my face. Putting the diary aside, near the desk. I started reminiscing our little talks in my head.

          She was a strong, caring and an independent women. She always used to follow path the directed by her heart. There are many things for which she will be remembered, but what I will never forget is her loving bubbly personality.

        At the sudden buzz of my cell phone, I was brought back to reality from the thoughts of my Aunt's life. It was a call from Luke, my boyfriend.

        I hurriedly picked up the phone, "Hello Luke, what is it?" I asked, noticing the subtle hoarseness in my voice due to crying.

         "Nora, Just to inform you that I'm coming in ten minutes with happy meal" said a smooth voice from other side

     "It's good you're coming but why happy meal?"

       "Oh, I know you must be sobbing because of the coming death anniversary, just to cheer you a bit" he explained himself nervously.

      "Well, of course I'm crying idiot but I don't need a cheer like child with happy meals or balloon's" I replied, rolling my eyes.

       "I'm driving, talk later " with that he abruptly ended the call.

25 mins later

We were sitting in the couch after completing our meal.

      "I was going through the diary of Aunt eddie" I said. "And...." he questioned.

       "And I was thinking what would our story be like?"

          "Nora, you know it very well I don't want our story written in novel or displayed in bookstore but I'm sure it would be different from what you are implying" he ensured.

        "I know it would be full of adventure like your dirt bike racing attitude" I scoffed, muttering sarcastically.

        "Yeah! It would be filled with your weirdness and sarcasm too" he laughed. At this statement I laughed too.

        "I can assure that it would be beautiful with every flaws and our devotion towards each other" I said and he agreed.

       Like this, we talked whole night and enjoyed our happy time together. Remembering past and some bittersweet moments with Aunt. Luke always predict my mood and behavior, it's like a strange connection between us.

       This is something I adore in him, he know me in every tiniest detail which I can never point out myself.
