Spellbound
The nestle of tepid summer waves
Upon their naked feet,
Humble pilgrims side by side,
Beneath a sullen moon.
Moments like this, do fervent fools cherish,
When one's away at sea.
Missing me, while I'm missing you
Still the same moon that we see.
Upon their naked feet,
Humble pilgrims side by side,
Beneath a sullen moon.
Moments like this, do fervent fools cherish,
When one's away at sea.
Missing me, while I'm missing you
Still the same moon that we see.
And that was the last poem Aidah received during the infant stages of her relationship with Alfian. Like the ones that came before that, Aidah littered it inside her precious shoe box, only just scathing the true meaning between those lines.
A simple 'kampung' girl, warned many a times by her mother, to not fall in love with such an industrious man, yet love knows no boundaries it seems. With a leaded heart, Aidah attempted to brave coming tears, as she waved farewell to Alfian as he backed further into the transit area.
It was a long time coming. A cadet pilot on his maiden flight. Destination Zurich. His life was set and match and this was just the beginning.
There are many things left behind which Aidah can remember Alfian by, yet she wasn't satisfied. Aidah kept playing the voicemail over and over that night as she perched upon her window sill, grazing at the splendor of the full moon. It illuminated the night sky with a haunting glow, drifting her further into a sullen mess.
The sudden ring alarmed her so much so that she stumbled off the ledge. "Hi dear. Its me. I've just touched down. Everything went well. Zurich is so beautiful. Its a clear night too. I wish you were here Aidah", Alfian confessed, sensing the sadness in Aidah's voice. "Listen, can you look out of the window please?", Alfian requested. "Can you see the full moon? Well....I'm looking at the same moon my love".
