Sea Melody
I opened the box where she kept her memories of several trips. There was one that caught my attention. Was a beautiful amber sea shell and pearl white. I took my hands leaving the box on the floor. Stroked it slowly, running my fingers through each of its parts. Its texture was soft and rough. Still had the salty smell of the ocean. I was mesmerized to behold, still admired. Slowly, the memories of that summer came to my mind. That I fell in love only once. That sad love still weighed on my heart, although the years had made him forget. Accumulated tears after forgetting both flowed gently down my face and the memories stored wrapped my soul with this melancholy melody.
That summer had gone with a friends to the beach for my cousin Mark could see the sea, which had only seen in pictures. On the second day to reach the coastal city, we were on the beach enjoying the sun, sand and water. How I loved to swim, I quickly introduced him alone, while others played on the shore.
Without realizing it, had enough and had swum back before a wave take me. While swimming quietly, I saw a big wave was coming right behind me. I began to swim faster, all the speed that allowed me my strength, but to no avail. The wave was faster and overtook me. I was surprised by his power, which I introduced in the water, believing it was going to drown, while my eyes remained closed. I fought all I could to get to the surface, but there was something that grabbed my leg and I'm not allowed out.
I opened my eyes and looked at my feet. It was a plant species that held my ankle. I tried to untie his hands but could not, was strongly attached to my leg. Was losing my remaining air in the lungs. I knew that if this was so, would not last much longer. The panic began to flood, but I do not give up. Suddenly, I felt like my leg was released, though I could not see who did it. So, quickly, swam to the surface. For end, was on the outside and the air began to enter.
I inhaled oxygen to the utmost, which was reassuring me of the tension that had just experienced. However, I no longer had the strength and began to swoon. At that moment, I realized that a strange hand took my wrist and took me, did not know where. I followed him without protest, slowly, even without seeing who it was, since my vision was blurred and my eyes were closed. Fortunately, still had some power to continue. Had little awareness of the time, but I thought that only a few minutes had happened when we reached the shore. In the arena, I passed out completely.
When I woke up was still on the coast, lying, and the sun beginning to set. I sat down slowly and I noticed that a man was by my side. Rather, a boy, who should not have many more years than me. Without a word, my eyes traveled up and down. It was not very tall, light brown hair, blue eyes, like the sea. His body was well formed and Maya was a color sea green. What caught my attention was a shell that had hung in the neck by a white thread. She was beautiful: white amber and pearl, and glinted in the sun a glow.
- Are you okay? He asked the young man with his eyes fixed on mine. I had to avoid his eyes never to faint.
"Yes, thanks. Did you you saved me? "I said slowly.
"Yes." Seemed a bit desperate and this plant had clung tight to your ankle. I had to help because it would die there.
"Thanks for saving me and bringing me to the beach healthy.
"It was nothing, no need to thank me. For anyone would have done the same. "He said shaking his head. Then a smile crossed her lips is. That was the first sight. From that moment, I fell in love with that boy. "I'm
Arion. He sounded so strange that name. Surely it was an alien. But her English was perfect. It was clear que su nombre era extranjero.
-Extraño nombre. Yo soy Soledad. –Dije con una sonrisa.
-Sí, para la gente de aquí es un nombre raro. Proviene del griego y significa músico o melodioso, no estoy muy seguro. –Se quedó mirando fijamente el mar. Sus pensamientos estaban tan lejanos que se hacía imposible conocerlos. Como no sabía qué decir me quedé callada.
Estuvimos un largo rato así, sin cruzar palabra e hipnotizados por el océano. Era un silencio que ninguno de los dos nos atrevíamos a romper, aunque no resultaba incómodo. Algo me decía que podríamos permanecer así un largo tiempo. Pero, entonces, Arion rompió el silencio:
-Creo que deberías go. Sure your friends are looking for. "These words fell like a bucket of cold water, but knew she was right.
"Yes, you're right. It's almost night and my friends should be very worried. "I said with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"If you want we can meet tomorrow evening. Arion-proposed since my tone of sadness, a little shy. I opened my eyes wide and smiled.
"Sure, I love it.
"Very well, then I'll be waiting. "I nodded and retreated slowly.
Upon arriving home, I was so tired I went straight for a swim, ate and fell rendered in bed, so I took her and the hopes of meeting with Arion, the world of dreams quickly.
The next day, the only thing I could think of was that I hoped the meeting with my savior, who perceived mystery, plus it was very handsome. Only see him once, had led to fall at his feet, I fell in love with him. There was a depth in his being that attracted me more than anything else. They were thoughts that kept my mind roam. Also, I felt a melancholy in Arion, who had seized him when he had been hypnotized by the sea, and his gaze was lost in the skyline. I would gustado darle las gracias como correspondía pero no sabía que darle. Esperaría a conocerlo mejor para encontrar algo de su interés.
Cuando la hora llegó y todo estuvo perfecto, respiré hondo y me dirigí hacia el lugar acordado para el encuentro con Arion. Cuando ya estaba cerca, escuché un canto que me dejó paralizada por la forma en que se transmitían las emociones. Era una voz masculina, de tenor, que emitía palabras en un idioma desconocido para mí. La melodía era triste y melancólica, pero, a la vez, fuerte como el choque de las olas contra los acantilados. Parecía la melodía de un tiempo antiguo, anterior a toda historia. Aquel canto me fue llevando por distintos paisajes de la naturaleza: some cute and happy, others sad and silent. I got the feeling that the singer wanted to convey how much he missed his home, a place apart from time and civilization. Without realizing the tears began to explore my face. I could feel with every fiber of my body sensations dancing with each note. Gradually, the melody drifted away, to a complete stop. Deep breath and kept walking, as I dried her tears.
I took a few steps and there was Arion with his eyes closed. Arriving at his side, opened his eyes and we greeted with a kiss on the cheek. Wearing the same Mayan yesterday and a blue shirt that covered his torso. Its Hawaiian sandals shod feet.
- How are you, Sole? He asked with a smile.
"Well, and what you, Arion? "I responded with the typical greeting.
"Well. I was just singing, before you arrived. "I looked surprised, I could not believe it. I was so amazed that my mouth could not utter a word.
- I can not believe it! You have a beautiful voice. I think you should be a singer, would attract many people. "Finally recovered speech. His voice was something that was called, was something magical and bewitched you into other places, lost in a dream.
"No, I do not. Singing is something I love, but as a hobby. In addition, something that prevents me. "A notable seriousness crossed his face, and before I could ask him said:" You're cute, you looks good in that dress.
His eyes wandered for me, up and down, and I could not help feeling embarrassed. For an instant, his blue eyes locked on mine, and, unable to sustain the long view, I turned my eyes.
Thanks. "A smile crossed my lips.
We stayed at the beach until nightfall chatting about unimportant issues. I realized that we had several things in common: we both like swimming, reading, we liked the animals were vegetarians. I sensed that the more time passed, I liked Arion. I loved talking to him, being at his side and did not want out of my savior.
After walking along the beach while we went to eat at a restaurant that was nearby. During dinner, do not talk much because the famine was upon us. Finally, to end the wonderful evening we returned to the beach to watch the stars, which inhabited the night sky. Another thing we had in common. As we talked, I noticed that Arion also loved watching the stars and knew a lot about astronomy. The truth is that that night I learned many new things.
The contemplation of the stars was divided between silence and conversation. My eyes were on the stars to Arion and vice versa, but the voice of my companion woke me from my observation:
"I think it's time to return. Her blue eyes stared at me.
"Wait. "I pronounced slowly and quietly. Armándome deep breath of courage, while Arion's eyes were on me, with some curiosity about what was going to say. "There's something I need to tell, Arion. Saved my life yesterday when I could not help being curious about you. But seeing your smile and blue eyes was fascinated. Then I realized that I liked. I like you, Arion.
I looked down a second died of shame. I turned to look and a sigh went through. A bundle of sadness showed on my face. Anticipated that something bad would happen. "You
I also like. He started to say Arion. By his face I knew that had been a but. "But we can not be together.
I felt like a thousand needles digging into me. Never had a boyfriend and I had never confessed. It was awful to feel rejected and it showed on my face. The sadness and other feelings that began to ravage not understand. Soon the tears would flow could not stop. The talks had stalled, while another sigh came from his lips.
"There's a way we can be together. "A beam of hope Rosó my lips into a faint smile. "But will be only for the time you're here. After you leave, everything between us is over.
I looked at him without really knowing what to say. How do you react to such a proposal? On one hand I wanted to be with him, but on the other, if the weather would be so short, do not know what to think. I let my mind explore each of these ideas briefly.
"Okay, I agree, Arion. -Final Article. Contradictory emotions went through my heart.
"Okay. Thanks. I would have thought you will not take place. I know that there is little I can give and so I thank you. I just want to give a warning: do not fall in love with me Soledad. Si lo haces, sufrirás mucho.
-Lo sé. –Respondí, aún sabiendo que ya era demasiado tarde.
Luego, bajo las estrellas iluminándonos y con el mar meciéndose por el viento, nos fundimos en un abrazo que, más tarde, se transformó en besos y caricias cargadas de sentimientos. Jamás me olvidaría de aquel beso, el primero, cargado de amor y contradicción. Un beso salado, tierno y fuerte a la vez, donde nuestras bocas bailaban en un compás único, misterioso, acompañando el sonido del agua contra la arena. Ese baile duró varios minutos, donde ningún pensamiento era claro.
Cuando todo terminó y nuestras respiraciones se tranquilizaron, la hora de regresar came home. Gently, like a gentleman, Arion accompanied me to home, where a farewell kiss was soft. That night, I was turning around what had happened. Many questions raced through my mind, until you thinking of responses sleep came over me.
After three weeks, it was our last meeting. The next day again and Arion city would become a memory, how much I weighed. We stayed in the same place and at the same time as our first date. Therefore, I decided to wear the same outfit.
When we walked in, none of us knew what to say. We knew we would last time and the sadness was the same in both. We locked eyes at him, saying the words that we dared not pronounce. Kisses full of passion followed. We spent a long time and sitting on a rock. Later I began to contemplate the sky, where they still observed a faint orange made by the Sun while the ocean rocked hard by the wind, which had brought water and a gentle repetitive dance.
"There are things I still have not told me. "Those words spoken by Arion were so unexpected that surprised me. I was intrigued and frightened me. From the tone of his voice that something serious I assumed I had been hiding. I braced myself for the worst and listened intently.
"I'm not human. I opened my eyes wide open to this revelation. "I'm a newt. Three weeks ago, when I decided to approach the coast to see a little human world, I saw you. Were desperate and that plant had caught you strongly. Since I could not let you die, I helped. We can not fall in love with humans, we can not even be in the human world, because there is a law that says if we approach human beings will be exiled forever, because humans are cruel to our world with the sea, in addition to our secret, protected by millennia could be discovered and who knows what will happen to my kind. But there is an exception this law states: if a human rescued his side can stay as long as we want and learn from them, because there are many mermaids and mermen who are curious about your species. However, fall in love, get to love a human being is something that we can not afford. The personal consequences could be dire.
When he finished speaking, all I could do is remain silent. He did not move a muscle. While I was hiding something very important, I could understand why he had done. Do not take me long to believe, now understood much better. I knew why I could not stay with me. The sadness and anguish came over me, but I knew The ocean was his place, and could not depart from it. The tears began to fall from my eyes and hugged him hard. He responded by closing one of his arms around me, pressing against his body, as I caressed and kissed her hair. We spent a few minutes like that and it was dark.
"Thanks for listening. Want to go for a swim, Sole? Arion-expressed with a smile. It was something I did not expect, so I looked surprised. Fortunately he had brought the Maya.
"It may be a good way to say goodbye, but the night sea gives me a little scared.
"Do not worry, be with you. And we'll be your guide to the stars as our faithful companions. The ocean at night is a wonderful thing that few humans know. "Fear gripped me and revealed in my face. "If you're worried about is breathing and can be cold water, do not, I have the solution, but first we must get into the ocean.
"Okay. "I nodded without much security. We approach the sea. The first thing I did was touch this liquid with the foot and the cold went through me, so I dared not get me completely. Arion was staring at me, and got into the water, as if to say "we, You can." Therefore, deep breath and got one in the water. Felt like a thousand needles were nailed me and I froze instantly. My body was frozen and immobile, unable to move, while Arion approached me. Our eyes locked
each other, as if hypnotized, while a mischievous smile reflected in the face of my love. After a while, she closed her eyes as she spread her hands and inhaled deeply. His hand grabbed mine, while a bright blue light suddenly spread throughout his body. I felt a kind of electricity and the same light spread all over my body. I felt like my legs were transformed. Then, I understood. The light was so bright that my eyes were half open. Gradually, the light was extinguished, off, until it disappears completely. I opened my eyes and looked straight Arion as he returned to breathe deeply and slowly opened his eyes.
There, I realized that it was not cold and could move freely. I was shocked to see that my legs had turned into a fish tail. I had become a mermaid! The tail was electric blue. I played it with my fingers and its texture was rough but gentle. I could not believe what I was seeing, but at the same time was happy. I swam a few minutes with emotion and I noticed that Arion was watching me and seemed happy.
- What does this mean? "I asked about, unable to hide my emotion and pointed tail.
"I wanted to surprise you, something special for our last appointment. This is a small part of the magic that my species can use. Now you can breathe underwater and swim like you want. Unfortunately, the spell lasts only an hour and there are many things I want to show. So, come on, there is no time to lose.
My love took my hands and quickly took me under water. I could breathe underwater, and the speed at which we swam was impressive. As I said, Arion was a guide, and the emotion he felt was obvious in everything he showed me and I explained. Everything was amazing, the colors, shapes, sizes. It was being in another world, another dimension, wonderful and exciting. Most astonishing of all was as clear as they heard our voices, as if in a quiet room.
When I least expected, the time had passed and we should return. Started back slowly and silently. We were so happy at that time to think away forever was an idea that greatly saddened us. The excitement we felt in our little voyage gave way to anxiety. Our hands remained together throughout the journey.
Finally, we reached the shore and could see the moon and the stars were decorations that we dimly lit. The spell broke in the same way they had done, with bright blue light. We left the water and sat on the beach. The words would not come and sadness overwhelms us.
from the time approached. The time to part for ever became increasingly imminent. I closed my eyes while listening to the therapeutic sound of the sea and Arion's hand held tightly to mine. I could see that the same anguish that filled me also seized from him. Neither my companion nor I wanted to move away, but realized he could not stay together. I could see the hand of Arion let me go and rested his arm around my shoulder, moving closer to him. We hugged and kissed each other slowly, gently and firmly. At that moment, time does not exist for me, I was unaware how many minutes, hours, had been the case. The passion and love ran through both our bodies and we merge into one. That night would be saved in my heart forever. After the current had completely taken hold of us, we fell into the arms of Morpheus.
The sunlight woke me up. Very slowly opened my eyes and I could see me staring at Arion and his hand caressed my shoulder. I smiled and kissed him. The night we spent together had been wonderful and even pleasure through my body. But suddenly, providing that it was morning, I remembered that he must return and I seized those heavy feelings. A twinge of pain through my heart. He realized and held me tight, sharing the love that we pierced.
Without more, we stopped and we moved. We'll hold hands and we were watching the ocean. That would be our last time together, so the best thing was the silence.
"I think it's time. Arion's voice, always strong, this time went weak. Our eyes met and all I felt was transmitted. Coupled sudden embrace our bodies and a wet kiss, bitter as a farewell tour of our lips. Slowly we grew apart, there was nothing else to do. That was our goodbye.
"Before you go, there's something I want to give. "He said to my surprise, as he took down that spiral up to a few moments ago had adorned his neck. "Here, I want to give this snail as a token of my love, that I always remember and never forget that our relationship was real. I love you, Soledad.
That last sentence was like an elixir that filled my heart, as he put one snail in my hands and tears streaming down my cheeks.
-I love you too, Arion, and never forget what you did for me and gave me everything. "Nothing could say.
We both knew that what united us, and do it forever, the love that we connected and we would always be in our hearts and never forget. We melted into one last hug, which was crowned by a soft, short kiss. Slowly we went away. One last time our eyes met, and without saying a word, I closed my eyes and turned away. It was time to go home.
As tears adorning my eyes, I went away from Arion slowly, looking back only once and watched as he contemplated the skyline. I turned my face and walked forward. Their melancholic song rang through the place, a melody which mixed conflicting emotions arose. It was a song that filled my heart. That sad and bitter melody calling me, but I kept taking my steps forward, firm, go back and knowing that was impossible.
In my hand, strongly took the shell, amber and pearl white, proof that Arion had been real. Our relationship had been of those short, only a few weeks, but those that are marked and sealed by fire, unless one dares to open them and remember them. Our love was strong and, therefore, had prevailed on the bitterness of parting. However, both knew we had to go ahead and that we remain within each as a memorable, unforgettable, and had left an imprint on our lives forever.
