Veil

Again, I asked her! She turned away, walked towards a nearby rose plant pretended to be adjusting a tender bud; tried to stretch further the green sepals to drape the eavesdropping eager ruddy petals. I asked again! This time she smiled with widened blue eyes. She looked beautiful! Then narrowed her eyes, raised the brows in feigning wickedness and laughed. She looked even more beautiful! I heard that unintelligible laugh spelling out her clear message. "You can't look through the veil! " But I did! She didn't realize her veil is as transparent as the waters on shallow river bed. I could see through so clearly curled with coyness, suppressing simpers her love for me.
