Myspousepartner is not an expert in space science, as well as me. Although during our school has been given enough material about astronomy, but after that we did not pioneer our career of science, ... but well, just knowing it and enjoyed it, of course.
There was never a night I spent without my head tilted to the sky. The more I explore the sky with my eyes which are not blind (Thanks God), the more my heart is subject to Something Looks Nothing.
I told him, "Dahling, does the nature has its duplicate?"
"Why do you ask that?"
I didn't answer him. Being under the sky with someone you love and loves you is the small thing that should be enjoyed and grateful for, let alone the togetherness is befriended by the nature's beauty (both in the morning and evening) wow,.... for me it's quite unspeakable things by the tongue.
Don't ask me, at that time, whichever was more I love. Of course my partner would say, "Me!" pointed to his own self. That's fine. If he didn't know my answer, it didn't mean that he has done something wrong. "Ohhh dahhling, you don't know it, do you? I just want them all."
But it's not a sweet answer that will make him feel "super", and I'm always happy to make him feel super to himself, because this will surely have a positive impact on how he treats me. I even asked him (rather to myself) with hesitation, "What's behind all this beauty?"
"What do you mean, honey?"
And for a moment, I couldn't explain what I felt to him, let alone this fear. Hugged him and hid my whole body into his body's cave was the best thing I could do that time.
We have witnessed the moment when the sun was pink to orange, covered by a cloud of bluish purple in the blue and white sky in this continent. Although theoretically the human eye has unlimited long distance view, but I was always limited to be able to see the sky above one's head in European continent, for example.
Finally, the limitation made me better to trust his words when I asked him via telephone conversation, "Hello dahling, how is the weather in your sky? Is that clear enough?"
"No, baby. Now it's raining here."
"Are you lying?"
"Why don't you come here to prove the truth of my words?"
That's a question that does not require an answer NOW.
"Can you see the sky over there, darling?" then I askedhimhim, pointing in any direction without direction.
"Which sky?"
"That sky!"
"Where? Which sky?"
I dunno, he just pretended he was confused or I was really being melancholy. When I heard his question, I felt I wanted to cry out loud, but what happened was only a few tears dripping from my eyelids.
"Should I ask about your tears?" he asked me, but it sounded more like a statement.
"No, no need. Thanks"
"So, why are you crying?"
That's him, he had a strange habit that I liked it immensely. He always knows how to make me think that he was gone when he actually was closer to me, even closer than ever. And for the next, you'd better know how I would react. Run! then I will let him run around chasing me until we are both tired.
"I just felt even more stupid."
"It's very good feeling, hon, ...very good."
"A good feeling?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, the poor fool, with your knowledge, you are still dumb as ever."
"Hahaaa..."
"Eheehe...including you"
"Haha...you, too"
Realizing that we were equally stupid was a small brain that grew from our togetherness during this time. I did't know whether he knew that we were not alone with the foolishness here.

Sorry, this conversation is to be read only, not to be understood. But if you understand this, it's something beyond my expectations. Thank you. Love - Me.
