Akila,
The temple was getting dark around her, and even though it was a sunny day, she shivered.
She was getting cold, and the male who was holding her and calling her name kept shaking her body.
He was so warm, and she tried to get closer to his body, but she felt powerless.
"No, open your eyes I beg you, don't do this to me Akila. I can't bear losing you."
She opened her eyes after she heard the male's desperate voice. He was hunched over her, his body shaking and his eyes were filled with tears in his dimmed ruby eyes.
Akila raised her hand to stroke his high cheek, but it shook and fell beside her.
The man held it and brought it to his face. He kissed her open palm and put it against his warm face.
"Yes, open your eyes and look at me, my love. Don't surrender to sleep."
The male said, smiling faintly through his tears, and Akila's heart clenched.
