Imagining of the imaginary


There's a girl who stays hundreds of mile away from this guy. No, they have never met, rather, never met the way which can be considered as 'met'. I mean the difference is between "meeting" and "coming across".
They gained acquaintance with each other gradually over phone (don't ask how did they get each others number. I don't know the answer :x)
Below is a conversation that took over one of the "Man's most indispensable invention" - small text message; in short sms.
Lets try to find out how people can travel to distant imaginary places in a (romantic!!!) journey.
Don't ask me whether this conversation actually took place or whether the guy or the girl exists. You know, you will always find them and conversations alike, every now and then, everywhere and anywhere!!!
So, lets proceed.

His SMS: Shall we go far a walk?
Her Reply: Let's go...but where?

Him: There's a small path westward from the main road out of the town. The road passes through the woods. A 2 miles walk through it will lead us to the lake of emotions. We can walk on the path encircling the lake and then may sit under the tree that bears the fruit of profound happiness. If it gets dark, we may lie down on the grass and look up towards the sky looking for nothing. I shall breathe the air full of aroma of nature blending with urs. I'll breathe deep and the air will touch my soul. And then, I'll feel u.

Her: The place sounds interesting and amazing...even I can feel myself to be there...and I'm looking for u now...standing alone in that lonely road..where r u?.. I'm waiting

Him: Right here. Look behind. I'm holding ur hand! Turn around!!!

Her: Huh! u scared me!!! But I can't see the lake from here...is it far?? Instead of walking, feeling like running in the woods.

Him: Why run? 2 miles is a good distance. U can't see it from here. Lets walk slowly, enjoying every bit of the thick woods beside the path. Can u listen to the distant song of that unknown bird? Hey! It started to to drizzle! Can u feel it?

Her: Yeah! cn hear the sound..cn feel the breeze..cn smell the earth nw..hv u been to this place b4 also? waiting to see the lake!!! Its gonna look fascinating.. raindrops and ripples.

Him: No, I've just heard of the place. Was waiting for the right partner to accompany. I've found u now. The sky is full of cloud. It seems its going to rain hard after sometime. I can see the water droplets on ur skin. I see it all over ur face! The lake is just a few meters away. Come, hold my hand. Lets RUN!

Her: Its getting dark now..things around me appearing in a different way.. each and evey sound getting so clear to my ears.. even our heartbeats after running 4 so long...

Him: There's a machaan beside the lake. Lets sit down thee. Since the rain has started, its better there.Lets watch the pouring raindrops and the ripples. Would u mind keeping your arm around my shoulders and myself wrapping your waist with my arms while we r sitting side by side. I want u to rest ur head on my shoulders.

Him: What happened? Are u asleep? The rain has stopped. The sky is clear now. See the sun setting. Wake up dear. Its getting cold. We won't be able to return till morning.!! Shall we arrange for some fire?

Her: Oh! I didn't realise wen i fell asleep, sitting beside u resting on ur shoulders, watching those ripples.. was a warm feeling.. bt feeling cold now..n m hungry also.

Him: Sorry. I went to the woods to collect some firewood. It had rained na. So,it took some time to search out somewhat dry wood. Look, I got some fruits too. I guess its good. I had some and I'm alive. So, I suppose its edible. And thanks God, I'm carrying the vodka too. Have a little. It'll keep u warm. I've put on the fire too. Lets sit near it. Do u see the reflection of the moon on the water? Lovely it is, na? And the stars blinking. The sound of the jungle, the crickets and other species. Its so soothing. Sitting with your own self in this ambiance. Its like merging of souls.

Her: Its really nice...things looking so pleasant around..the moon n stars dancing on their tunes, water glowing with pride like never before..is it really happening or am I a bit high now?

Him: its really happening and the alcohol is accelerating the pleasure. Do u want me to try and catch some fish? We can roast a few. Its an amazing combination na? The heat of the fire (inner and outer) and the chilling breeze. I want to inhale ur breath. I want to smell ur skin from a closer distance.

Her: Hmm! I wud like to have fish...but take care of urself while catching fish...u enjoy ur drink n i'll enjoy my fish...fragrance that u can smell is from outside nt from me...


Alas the guy had slept, waking up in the morning only to discover another sms :

Her: Someone went to sleep! Wat will I do alone sitting next 2 d bonfire...lookin up at the sky.. wake up!!!

The dream was incomplete. But one can still cherish the virtual trip!
I understand that its an abrupt ending!!! Well...what can I say? Errr...uhmmm...well... YOU can write a proper ending..the way you would like this dream to end (or continue!!!). Awaiting your comments!!!
