Aviv's POVMy eyes were fixed on Ella's motion the way she was using her brush on canvas, the way she was dipping the tip of the brush on watercolour and then on canvas made me sure that she was lost in deep thoughts. And like before her eyes were twinkling sometimes with joy and sometimes in anger.When she was done with her paintings I noticed her sitting on the bench running her fingers on her forehead. I stood on my feet and walked towards my car.As soon as I approached Erik who was waiting for me outside the car I stood leaning my back on the car I and gawked at Ella."Erik..." I called out."Yes, Aviv" he responded instantly."Don't you think she is amazing?" I raised a question."Yes..indeed," he answered back gazing at Ella's direction."I have fixed a place for that painting in my exhibition hall. But I cannot risk going in front of Ella again and again unless she recognized me by herself."When I said this Erik glanced at me in amazement. I gave him meaningful smile which g
Ella's POV"It has been two days Aviv still has not shown up. Was I really that rude?" I got up from my chair for the eighth time since morning checking around with the hope to see Aviv."But why am I even thinking about him. Why am I taking it this deep?" I plonked back on my chair with my gloomy heart."Miss Ella..." Mrs Smith's sudden call startled me. "Yes, Mrs Smith," I hurriedly got up from my chair. She was just approaching my counter."Are you alright?" she inquired."Yesss....why?" I inquired back in astonishment."Because I am watching you for a long time you are getting up from your seat time and again.Are you on your periods or are you suffering from illness?" she interrogated leaning on the counter."No, no Mrs Smith I am absolutely fine," I forced a smile on my face."Are you sure? I am telling you if anything happened to you in my store then I may take you to hospital but I am not going to pay for your medical expenses. Clear?" I just nodded at her. I swear I had so m
Aviv's POV"Erik.. drive fast otherwise we will miss our flights," I said being desperate to leave France.Two days in France was not as easy as I had guessed. I was missing my city so much. So much than ever."Okay okay, not city Ella... You got me."Erik glanced at me through rare view mirror and raised his eyebrows, "Are you alright Aviv? We are heading to the airport two hours early than regular time and still, you think flight will not be taking us?"I coughed in embarrassment. Erik was right. I had instructed him to drive me airport two hours earlier than usual and still, I was asking him to drive fast.I grabbed the newspaper and buried my embarrassed face behind it pretending to read it."What is wrong with you Aviv? Why are you being so stupid?" I yelled at myself underneath my breath."But no worries Aviv you will get to her right on time," Erik said in a sarcastic tone."No, words Erik no words focus on your driving..." I mumbled still pretending to be busy with the newspape

It was raining heavily and I had no umbrella. Time passed on but there was no sight of him.So I took my cell phone from my bag and dialed his number. He didn't respond. I dialed again but still, he didn't respond. Frustrated and frantic I dialed his number again and again until he finally picked it up.Trying to calm down I said "Hello James where are you? You had promised to pick me up. It's raining outside and I don't.." "For God's sake will you please listen to what I have to say? I am stuck in a meeting and I cannot come now. Your apartment is not that far. You can walk by yourself. Now please stop calling me or else I will forget who you are to me..." he yelled furiously and hung up.I was shocked hearing James he h
Ella's POV(Reminiscence continue..)The next morning when beams of sunlight fall on my face I opened my eyes. I recalled the incidents of the previous night and hurriedly got up and lifting the duvet glanced at my naked body.I had fallen asleep soon James was done. And I had no idea when he left. I felt so disgusted thinking about him. How could he be that demon? I was still in pain because of the last nightstand.I glanced at the table clock beside my bed and found an envelope. Above it were a pill and a rose.I kept the pill and rose aside and opened the envelope. There was a letter on it."Sorry...I went harsh last night. I know it was your first time and trust me I don't have it on my hand, it is done in that way only. I cannot do anything about it. I wish if I could then I would do every way possible but it is not in my hand. Extremely sorry. It is painful for the first time to trust me the second time you will love it.Have the pill you will feel better.Be ready after your wor
Ella's POVReminiscence continuedI tried to get a clear vision of the person walking a little bit forward but someone patted my shoulder and I instantly turned around."James..." I hugged him tight and burst out in tears."Hey...calm down...what happened?" he tried to break free from my arms but I hugged him even tight."James I thought it was you" I whispered.The one sight of the accident made me forget that I was angry with him. I really had no idea that I was this deep in love with him. For a second my heart was about to stop beating. But seeing James fine it gave me relief. "Here..." James handed me a glass of water. We were back to my apartment. I took the water from his hands and drank it."Ella" he sat beside me and wrapped his arms around my shoulder. I rested my head on his shoulder."I am extremely sorry.. couldn't make it up for our date. I was just busy with my works" he confessed."Works? he had an event, right? So why was he lying to me?" I had numerous questions on m
Ella's POVReminiscence continued.As soon as I arrived at the office the next morning everyone was laughing and gossiping about something. I couldn't understand what was happening. As I walked towards my desk I met Jiya and Rose."Hey, we didn't saw you yesterday," Rose said standing in front of me.I recalled the previous night and sighed. "Yeah, I was just so busy with some stuff..." I said in a low tone."Oh! but you should have attended it, Ella. It was so much fun and our company got a new topic for gossips" Jiya said with excitement."What? I didn't get you."Jiya came close to my ear and whispered, "Our boss is having an affair with, Mr. Pasak." "What...no way.." I said out loud."Keep your voice down...Ella," Rose said and I hurriedly covered my mouth."That is not possible...how can I mean how did you found it?" controlling the emotions I asked in a low voice."Yeah, that was the things about last evening. Mr. Pasak and our boss barely got separated from each other yesterd
Ella's POVBack to present The lighting on my face startled me and I instantly ran to my bed. I sat on the bed covering my ear and shutting down my eyes. I was always afraid of this lighting and thunderbolt.I didn't move until it stopped. When there was light rain I got down from my bed to have something because I was starving so badly.After having fry rice I took a rest and I was feeling so delighted inside because it was weekend the next day.And guess what I had withdrawn the thought of suicide. Deep down I had a feeling that what was I gonna do the next day. Lost in thoughts I have no idea when I fall asleep.I immediately opened my eyes when I saw a little boy with amber eyes staring at me. "Av..." I whispered.I got up and sat on the bed supporting my head with my hand. I had a strange feeling inside who was that boy? After spending an hour in bed I got up when I didn't obtain my answer.I opened the window and took the fresh air. The sky was totally blue with no sight of cl
