There she came after a week's travel to see him, in his place, to spend time with him. She finally understood his struggle everytime when he comes to visit her. She looked around and admired the place,which was once only with craters and cracks but now into a beautiful planet, "I never realized it was such a beautiful place".And finally noticed him who was admiring her who was admiring his work.

She had a young,ringing voice, perhaps because she had been such a great singer! So long as he could remember her, she had always liked singing. On holidays, when they had guests, she sang cheerily and enthusiastically. She even talked in a singing manner. As he listened to her excited voice of visiting the moon for the first time they moved to his home.

They settled down
"Back 5 years ago I heard you singing to me directly, epu enaku oru song pada mudiyuma" He asked her

She started singing

Mazhaikkullae nanaiyum
Oru kaatrai pola allava
manam
Unai parkkum bothil
Enthan varthai oomai enavae
maarum (2)

Nee en uyirilaagum
Oru pudhiya raagam
thaanada
Yen yen siragu
neelgirathu
Parakka thonuthe
yenada

He continued

Poongaqtril athil un
vaasam
Athai thedi thedi
tholainthen
Nee meendu vara naan
thaanadi
En vaashum vaazhvai
koduthen

He saw how perfectly she sang but suddenly she asked him, "when will you take your holidays? "

"I don't know, That's why I asked you to come, I don't know when we'll see each other again"

But he knew very well that there would be no holidays and that she was seeing him for the last time and he hid his tremendous journey to another galaxy which might result her losing him forever and a chill ran through his body for lieing

"Atleast try to come in the Autumn" She pleaded

"I'll try"was all he could say her now

" Operator on duty, report to office", a voice bellowed form the loud speaker

He pushed a button and the screen went dark. She fell silen

"Coming"

He often plays back this recording and feels as if he is walking again with her on the moon, looking around
