The bus took off. Slowly, it moved through the streets of the busy city. It gained more speed As it reached the suburbs and headed on its way.
The space in the bus wasn't that big. But it was no problem as they enjoyed the enforced closeness. His right arm encircled her waist and rested on her right side. The warmth of their bodies was delicious. They sat silently gazing out of the window. Each deep in thoughts, wandering so far away but yet so alert to the other's presence. This presence was sheer joy after so many years of separation and loneliness.

"How can this moment stay forever? I wish to capture this moment of peace and love and keep it forever in my heart." She tried to breath in each detail and store it in her memory.
"I am afraid of what may come. I am afraid that worries are spoiling the moment. No, I will enjoy it now and here. Come what may. I won't give a damn now".
From the window they saw small disjoint water surfaces with the sun rays glittering. She smiled childishly and said, "The sun rays looks like tiny creatures, millions of them, chasing each other and suddenly disappearing at the edge of each little pond to reappear again at the edge of the following as we move."
He smiled and was more taken by her bright childish laughter than the sun rays. Pressing nearer he placed a quick kiss on her neck and whispered. "You're fascinating".
And silently he thought, "All I can think of now is making love to you all night".
