Athena was asleep when I woke up. The golden rays of sunlight had entered the cave. Those rays fell on her, presenting an aesthetic vision in front of my eyes.
I sat up looking at her. 'Should I wake her up?' I was musing one moment and then lost in my thoughts the next. In no time, I couldn't avert my gaze away from her.
I relaxedly leaned against the rock behind me and pulled one knee up and rested my hand on it. 'Nature's conspiracy against a man in love,' I thought. There was still a distance of ten feet between us. Her hair was still a mess. She was lying down in a weird pose, looking nothing like a human. So why was it so appealing to me?
In a trice, she turned around annoyed by the sunlight that fell on her. I didn't get up. I continued to stare at even the slightest changes in her face. It was never easy for me to come across such an instance.
