Like the sun shines in the day, the Moon glows in the dark. The Sun sees some people moving around the park happily, but the Moon knows all their secrets. The Sun has never seen the Moon Or vice-versa. One day , it was the day of the solar eclipse when the Sun and the Moon have to meet each other. The sky was so dark without moonlight's reflection. The Moon is incredibly sharp and black and surrounded by the sun's corona. They both saw each other. Though the Moon doesn't shine much like Sun, he felt something for the Moon. At the same time it was a new experience for the Moon to meet the Sun. She too felt something for him but was not really sure about it. They both decided to become friends. They wanted this moment to last longer but fate separated them as the eclipse duration only lasted for a night.

The Sun didn't stop thinking about the Moon and his feelings for her were becoming more and more uncontrollable. Though he knew she was someone whom he'll get to see rarely, he fell for her. The Moon too felt the same, she knew that she felt something special but she couldn't express it. Every day and every night they miss each other. At one point if time he was not able to control himself and he tried his very best to meet her. He kept pulling her hard towards him...and so there came the second solar eclipse. They saw each other and confessed their feelings for each the other. Their desire consumed them and so they sealed their marriage with a hot kiss. As their love for each other was strong, that time the eclipse lasted for 7 min and 24 sec. Soon, Nature had to have it's way and they had to drift away from each other.But, their love towards each other never faded away and they continue to wait passionately for each other.

During the next solar eclipse if you look up at the sky you can witness the shimmering luster of their love scattered around and the lovers in a passionate embrace. This fatal attraction between the SUN and the MOON keeps our planet going and that's why it is said ..'LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND'.
