Chapter 36 SOULMATES

They drove off to the penthouse on Palm Beach Road in silence. Neither spoke a word, both immersed in thoughts, sad but serene. There were no secrets from each other now. Shom knew he could now let the ghosts of the past go. He turned to look at Raima, suddenly the thought that she was Aruna came to his mind and he shuddered. She turned to look at him and he knew that she felt the same way. They gazed at each other intensely in the darkness inside the car. It was more like sensing each other and experiencing telepathic contact. They were soulmates, there was no doubt left now.

He experienced a new dawn, a new light that had the answers to his nagging turmoil. He felt the energy radiating through his spirit, the unnecessary baggage of his past was no longer pinning him down. All his guilt evaporated and he was at peace with himself.

On reaching the penthouse, they were in their own cocoon and not aware of the surroundings. As though, unaffected by the outside world. She put her arms around his neck and him around her waist. Looking into each other’s eyes and swaying to some music in their mind. They could see each other’s soul, through their eyes, so transparent as though looking through clear glass.

The true soulmate connection lies here. It was difficult to put into words what they felt in the depths of their heart and soul. Lost to the world and dancing away to the imaginary melody that could go on forever. In a state of bliss – this was divine love, selfless and unconditional. She lifted her lips and his touched hers, the touch on a spiritual level that set their souls on fire. They relished the sacred sex. Every touch, every kiss, every part of their body was experiencing a spiritual energy, the connection with the divine. Every moment was one of perfect bliss, an everlasting ecstasy.  As though their union had crossed cosmic boundaries and become infinite.
