Estella

Her name is Estella: a by-product of a cosmic collision some twenty-three years ago. Many would think of her as the spook of a love that was halted by a conspiracy of the universe. To others, however, she is as real as any human, in flesh and bones, on the face of the earth. Beautiful yet imperfect.

She often gazes at the stars; wondering why she ever does in the first place. Is it because she was human – alone in the universe on a cold and dark night?

She closes her eyes and aspires the day when another lone stargazer disrupts her solitude.

They can dance to the imagined waltzes of Chopin. They can dream like children with minds untainted by the stains of the world. They can love each other – slowly, ardently and undisguised by any man-made fashion.

By then, it will be the stars’ turn to gaze at them.

Do the stars gaze back? Now that’s a question.
