Ira's pov -

I never want to think about those days of my life but what to do; I can't forget those memories. This time Aayana suggests that I create some new memories with her. I couldn't deny her as she is trying to help me. She turns off the common light switch, and now only the table lamp is on. The room has little light but this light is really not enough to avoid my phobia. Then Aayana comes close to me and puts a kiss on my lip.

Aayana releases me and suddenly runs to my room down the floor. I said,

"Where are you going ?"

"I am coming in just a few moments," Aayana replied.

In a few moments, I see she is crossing the stairs to come to me. Then I said,

"Slowly. I am waiting. Please don't hurt yourself."

"Don't worry. I am fine." Aayana replied. Then I saw a guitar in her hand. I guess my baby is going to play something for me. That time she sits in front of me and gives me the guitar. I give her a surprised look and ask,

"What am I gonna do with it? I thought you were gonna play something for me !!!"

"You are going to play and I am gonna sing a song for you. I know you can't sing now as your breathing issue is still on and I can't play guitar but I always wanted to learn it." Aayana replies.

"Aww, you wanna learn it? Okay, I will teach you this. Now sing, please. I would love it. If you sing for me." I said to her and took the guitar to play for her.

"Actually this is a poem. I wrote about two years ago when I saw your interview and your eyes were swollen. I thought you were in pain. So I am gonna form it into a song. Hope you like it." When Aayana said these to me, I felt so special and I put the guitar aside and hugged her.

She starts her song by hugging me. Then I release her and take the guitar to play for her.

The lyrics of her song amazed me .....

If you love me, give me all of your sorrows,

I'll try to provide you relief, I take oath all the tears in your eyes,

Every iota of your tears is a gem for me, my love,

If you aimer me, my amour.

If you make your sorrow the sorrow of mine, then the agreement will come,

If your pain is hidden in your chest keep me there, then the agreement comes,

Every moment which hurts you give me, my love,

If you love me, my beloved.

Why don't spend an evening with the promise of sharing life,

Why do not reduce your sorrows by sharing all of your woes,

The yearning of mine to get a place in your throb, my love,

If you adore me, my sweetheart.

I never wanna see tears in these eyes,

Wish of mine to see dimples these cheeks, Desire of mine always smile these lips,

Give me all the memories which give you pain, my love,

If you are fond of me, my swain,

If you love me, give me all of your sorrows,

I'll try to provide you relief, I take oath all the tears in your eyes,

Every iota of your tears is a gem for me, my love,

If you admire me, my life.

After she completed her song I finished the tune. Then she asked,

"How is it? This is the first gift for you from me. I hope you like it." Tears of happiness are rolling from my eyes when I see how much she loves me.

Then I hugged her and said, "Thanks my love for all of your words. You dunno how special I am feeling right now. There is no word in this world that can express my feelings for you, my love. I always thought that I call you 'MY LOVE' but now I get that you call me this many times ago. I love you, I love you, I love you."

"This is nothing Iru, you deserve the best in this world. I will try my best to make you happy. Now tell me. I wanted to make you happy but you are still crying. Is it because my voice is so bad?" Aayana's last line made me laugh then I said to her,

"This is the best memory of my life till now in darkness."

"This is just the start, Iru. I will make more loving memories in darkness with you." Aayana said and kissed me on both my cheeks.

"Iru !! You are giving me a nickname. I love it..." I said to her and gave her a kiss on her nose.

"Yeah, as you called my Aayu in the kitchen today. So, I thought I should call with something which no one called you." Aayana replied.

"Actually this name was called by my mum. You are the second one. Hopefully, that's fine with you." I said.

"What !!! Is it okay with you that I call you by the same name?" Aayana replied to me with a sad face.

"I would love it if you called me this. As you are the person whom I love most after my mum." When I said that to her, she started crying. I hold her face and said,

"I really mean what I said just now." Then I wiped out her face and put kisses all over her face. Then I continued, "Thanks for making a lovely moment with me in this darkness. Next time I will be in the darkness alone; there will be a new lovely memory with me. I dunno if this memory will help me to overcome my phobia but of course it will help me a lot. I love you, my love, my soul."

Then I take her into my arms and lay down on the bed.

...

I am really thankful to my girl for this sweetness.

Though it's a new memory I want to continue this memory for my whole life. I don't know if we are gonna be together for our whole life but Aayu will be in my heart till my last breath. Before she came into my life I was living with a heart but now every heartbeat will beat for her. I am hers and only hers. Nobody can take her place in my heart as my mum. She is the girl in whom I see the shadow of my mum.

I love all the memories with my mum and with her......
