Before sunset…

For all she wanted to do at evenings was to sit in her balcony and watch the sun go down. Nestled in her own arms, she would watch the evenings fly by. The water blue sky would change its color slowly and get darker and darker not by tones but by the hues. The lights would come out but would not be noticeable first. The sun would settle above the hill usually and scrub its yellow across the sky and the whole scene would resemble a blue and yellow blanket. Sometimes orange, at times red too could be found here and there.

The evenings would come with a little breeze, the kind which gets inside your clothes and touches your skin. She would feel it, she would love it. Then the yellow would fade off the horizon and the sun would go down behind the dark blue hills in less than a minute. It would just disappear.

The sky would turn dark blue as well but remarkably, one can always spot the hills. The colors of the two are always close but with a distinction between them, they never intermingle. Then one can spot the stars of the hills. Yeah, lights come out before the stars in the sky but Venus never misses it spot. Soon, the two-hills and the sky are both starry eyed.

She tucks herself and wishes he was there with her, to watch the sun go down…
