“Are you crazy, Steven?” sniggered Laura, “how could a bunch of lights “listen” or “talk back”? What language would you talk to them in – the Lightish cum English?” she blurted the worst joke of her life, but it was probably speaking and not she.
“You will see,” said Steven with a conviction which made Laura stop and watch him. There was something in the way he said it, as if he knew something which he didn’t.
Steven simply folded his palms, closed his eyes and bowed his heads. A few deep breaths later, he said,
“We all are a part of this cosmic energy which surrounds us and protect us and we know that you too feel the same way,” Steven smiled which made Laura believe that he was fooling around with her.
“Now stop it, Stevie. Are you cra-“ But before Laura could finish what she was saying she heard a buzzing grow near her. A buzzing which was not gibberish but felt like it meant something as it had a kind of a rhythmic pattern to it.
There were no words, no vowels just plain vibrations in the air which seemed to connect to the soul and soothe it. She concentrated even harder into the buzzing sound, trying to take it more and more; and the buzzing reciprocated as it went into her body, her soul, her heart and every strand of her living consciousness. It was a joy beyond anything she had experienced till that time. Such was the purity in that state that something in her consciousness knew that this is how it felt to be united with a superior cosmic power, a superior energy source. She felt a lump building in her throat as if being overwhelmed by the constant washing of her soul. Tear welled up his eyes – tear of absolute bliss – and a catharsis hit her as she broke down. The more she gave into that power the more the buzzing grew in her head and more it didn’t sound like buzzing anymore but like a message from the higher powers.
In no time, she had totally surrendered herself into that sound, totally forgetting who she was, what her purpose was, where Daniel was and all she remembered was she was a soul in a body rather than body in a soul. Now, she could hear the message echoing in her heart too. It said –
“Daughter, come to the Lord and give in yourself for you are the Savior and you are the Saved. Leader of the lights shall lead to the Light itself.”
The message echoed in her heart like forever and now as she felt peace like never before, she slowly opened her eyes to see a scene she was not going to forget in a hurry. The Green source of lights – the Hararas – had carefully arranged them all around Steven and formed a halo on top of his head. And what to say about herself? The Hararas had not only arranged them all around her but formed a wing like formation around her which gave her an angelic look. In the purest sense of the word, the Hararas looked as if they were nothing but the extension of their individual auras. She moved towards Steven who was appreciating the scene and probably wondering about the reason behind it all. What were the Hararas trying to say to them? Were they angels from heaven? He certainly didn’t remember anything like this. Laura got her out of his trance like state as she approached Steven. Steven looked at Laura and said,
“I told you, I could talk to them!”
“You talked to them alright,” said Laura, winking at Steven. The Hararas were now slowly disappearing, as if they had met the purpose they had come for. Hararas might have left but that feeling of calmness, of completeness and that of being blessed didn’t leave Laura or Steven for one bit. Neither did that question leave them which echoed in their head –
“Why were they called as Leader of the Lights?”
Steven clasped Laura’s hand and said-
“Shall we get moving, dear?”
Laura nodded along, smiling.
