A Night Of Light...

Just as Veronica arrived, my peaceful time with my book drifted away. I was so lost in the female lead's life, that I even would want to know what happens after the end of the book. But it was okay, because with Veronica's presence I felt less awkward. Then Van called us to come over and that everything was ready. We were escorted to a place located even higher in the building. I entered the room and there was a freaking gigantic theater right at his house and damn it was all to us! The seats to the curtains everything was luxurious. We sat in our respective seat but I was unfortunately the middle child sandwiched between Van and Veronica. The movie started and we were all thrilled about it. It was a fantasy movie. Even though I'm not fond of the genre, it was fun. But one weird thing was that I found Van often observing me and smiling. But why, I didn't understand. Or was it that I was being his obstacle and he wanted to see Veronica. Whatever it was it hit me after the movie, so I couldn't do anything about it. I enjoyed myself throughout the movie, giggling away. But then when I was reaching out for popcorn, Van had also reached for it, so I pulled my hand out. Then he also pulled his hand out and said I should go first but then I insisted on him going first. And then there was a whole argument who would go first. And then came Veronica out of nowhere and pulled out popcorn and fed us both one by one. That made me burst out in laughter of how silly I was. Van kind of acted weird throughout the movie. Initially I thought he might not feel well,but when I asked he said he was fine. God knows what is going on his mind. The rest of the movie went by as we cracked jokes and ate and even talked about how each character can do better if they want. When the movie was over, it was already time for us to go but then Van said he had something special left for us and that we should follow him. I and Veronica were clueless but nevertheless we followed him as we got on his car. This time he did not drive the car. His driver made sure we all were sitted and we took off. At the night time, I couldn't recognize the streets with much clarity. I could see faint milestones but I couldn't make out where we were headed. So I decided to sit still and enjoy the trip. After about half an hour's drive we reached to a amusement park which unusually seemed to be all lit but with no people. At this hour in the night, why is the amusement park open at the first place? But Van entered into the amusement park with no hesitation and we had to follow his steps. The amusement park was full of rides but Van walked for a while until he reached a bridge which was over the river. Then he stood there still. We were not aware of the reason of this sudden silence, but we stood there with him. Suddenly he snapped his fingers and within a moment fireworks started to go up the sky. There were flickers of golden, silver, red and green beautiful splattering in the sky. Some formed shapes like stars when it went up and unfurled into the sky. I was amazed and moved. The fireworks lit hopes in my life which no one ever can. I felt so touched. And if the fireworks weren't beautiful enough, there was a music playing around. It complimented the fireworks so well. My eyes were filled with tears, but these tears were due to the serenity of the scenery in front of me. The cool breeze of the night swayed past us as I looked at Van and Veronica enjoying the scene. This moment made me feel the importance of the people around me. I should have cherished them. But thank God, it is not the end. As I looked up at the sky, I wished to God to keep them safe. I looked and felt happy so deep beneath. I should specially thank Van, because it is he who arranged all of this. With the few months I've known him, I feel that he knows me so much better and he is such a sweetheart.
