Dear readers,

Thank you very much for your comments. In answer to one of the queries, yes, this is my original work, and is a continuation of one of the stories in my book `Stories of the Night and Other Stories of the Night`, published in New York (2005).

Your thoughts are most welcome and much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Fahd Ali Raza

Delightful! I loved the last paragraph!
``Love sometimes transcends even romance. It moves beyond man and woman, here and now. It’s a bond that ties you to someone so hard, that even if you aren’t together it doesn’t matter; you carry each other around with you no matter where you go. It creates a bond so strong you don’t even have to speak to make the other person understand what you’re talking about. They just look at you and know.``

=) Good work! I truly truly loved the whole story! Touched my heart wayy too deep.
Congratulations!
Good luck for more of work like this!

Beautiful!!!

``Loved him like the stars love the night, so they cannot live without it. Like the heaven loves the earth, and so looks down lovingly upon it. Like the rose loves martyrdom, so it stands tall``

These lines -if original - are just divine.

Needless to say, the last paragraph looks a bit redundant. It started off as a story, should have ended as one, without `ad-hocly` narrating your own thoughts.

Nevertheless - ``Love sometimes transcends even romance. It moves beyond man and woman, here and now.`` - so very true!

Keep them coming.
