As the beatings of their hearts settled down, and the passion of desire had burned out, they lay side by side on the tender grass at the riverbank.  Their fingers entwined, their noses almost touching, and their mouths breathing in the same air.  They smiled almost in tears when they saw nothing but love when they searched into each other’s eyes.

The warm afternoon sun, and the gentle breezes with sweet scent gradually erased their sweats away.  They slowly ran their thumbs on each other’s palms just to make sure that what they had was not an illusion but real.

If somebody else had spoken the words, then it would not have hurt me this much.  It would not have cut me this deep.  Although the others thought that Alexander hurt me when he took the Persian eunuch to his bed, it was nothing.  I knew that my love with Alexander was on a different level.  Even the marriage to the Sogdian princess proved that our strong bond would never be broken.

Now everything I thought I had with Alexander was cast into dark shadows of doubts.  Did he lie to me when he said that I too was Alexander?

We were sprawled on the huge bed.  I was content feeling the weight of his head and warmth against my bare chest.  I absent-mindedly ran my fingers in his silky locks.  It was a moonless night in Ecbatana. When the flames flickered with the burning sounds of wickers, he sighed deeply.

“What is it?”

“It’s been sixteen years.”

I silently squeezed his shoulder.

“I have forgiven you so many times.”

I planted a kiss on his forehead.

“And I loved you more each time after I had forgiven you.”

I chuckled and raised myself on my elbow to peck on his lips, but I was halted by his strange look.  His dark blue orbs were calm but feverish.

“Promise me Alexander that you would forgive me.”

“What have you done that I have to forgive you?”

I questioned him in confusion.

“Nothing …  yet … but promise to forgive me.”

“You sound like a little child.  Nothing you say makes any sense.”

“Please…”

I chuckled again.

“Yes, I promise, and I would love you more.” 

I promised him and kissed his lips without knowing the weight of my promise.

“Thank you.”  He snuggled against me, and drifted away into dreams.
