I waited with inexhaustible patience. No one came and went in the time period flowing towards eternity. I was overflowing with the overwhelming fear that gripped me. Fear of losing it.
I wanted one more chance. If I could hug his neck a hundred times, I would be a happy person. Although he left me alone every time, there was no room in my head for any bad thoughts to erase him. The power of love within me was boundless.
He was offering his love to me with the golden goblet in his brave hand. I took a sip. I was enduring all the punishment without getting any pleasure from this love. Yet hers was the only hand that could protect me from the painful aspects of life.
As the minutes passed, my anxiety increased. It had been almost an hour. We had talked about how dangerous this place was on the way here, but I hadn't seen anyone other than the guard.
