The kiss

Late n8..

16 more pages left to read, he thought.
"will complete my reading tomorrow", he said to himself.
Harry closed the book.
He could hear the footsteps. Its nearing him... It seems familiar to him.
He took the pills as he saw Ingrid entering his room.

                                   * * *

"You haven't slept yet?" , she asked.
He smiled.
She stepped forward and reached near the window...
"stars...", she said.
She started counting," 1,2,3.... numerous isn't it Harry?"
"yeah", he said.
She sat near him silently.
They could hear the songs of folks from the valleys.
He grabbed her hands and said,"Your eyes are twinkling more brightly than the stars, mamma".

"Its getting late dear. Try to sleep." she said and started humming his pappa's favourite  lines...
He closed his eyes. Harry feels  like he is drowning in the Pacific. His arms are becoming weak. Ingrid could sense that. She looked at him.His face is becoming pale...
She kissed him on his forehead.
She knew he slept. Slept forever.....
