First Light
“Nitin, there is something that I must tell you. This will really be a huge change for us. And I am so tensed about this. I really need to say this to you”, was all I heard the very first time. This was followed by a series of mumbles that I couldn’t figure out clearly. “It’s okay. Relax. This is going to be a great journey, the most treasured memory of our lives”, said he. She was quiet now, only her heartbeat interrupting the silence that enveloped them. I am trying to figure out where I am. It’s so small yet spacious for someone as little as me.
