Chapter 261

She didn't really feel like herself in spite trying many things including listening to the news. Finally she decided to get on the treadmill and exhaust herself. She picked up some CD's that Pryag had left there the last time he was there and turned on her ear plugs and she started warming up. She hadn't really heard them before but it didn't matter as she was hardly paying any attention to them. She was watching TV, listening to music and was now at elevation five and had started to run. In spite of all these happening around her, she was not paying attention to any of them. The more she tried not to think about it the more she thought about it and the more she increased the speed. She was almost getting breathless and realized that she needed to slow down.

She continued to walk at a much lower pace trying to catch her breath and slowly her concentration was on the calories burned that appeared on the treadmill and a little on the music playing on the CD. The music was not bad so she tried to listen to the lyrics and it wasn't impressive. She continued at a much lower pace as the running had seemed to have helped and she could hear her heartbeat. She had not realized that it had been so long that she was already in the cool down face of the program. She was sweating and her thoughts seemed clearer and she closed her eyes and continued with the last five minutes of cooling down. The next song started playing and it was a romantic classic and was extremely melodious and soothing and it helped along with the cool down.

The breeze murmured your name

Waking me up.

When the waterfall hugged me

I feel your presence.

The cuckoos lovely songs

Sounds just like yours.

The beautiful blue sky

Reminds me of your eyes.

The rosy petal of a rose

I feel your lips.

The golden rays of the sun

Are the touch of your hair.

The bamboos brushing against each other,

The colorful rainbow after a rain,

Makes my heart race like a humming bird.

Our lips don't seem to meet

Like the banks of the river.

I neither know heaven nor hell

I feel like I am living in both!

I have neither tasted nectar nor poison

But it feels like both!
