"Sometimes You can't explain what you see in a person. It's just the way they make you feel like no one can!" [Remo]
.....
"You don't even know me. How can you be crazy for me? Stupid Boy."
"But sweetheart we can know each other. How about you tell me about yourself." Remo asked, He had never enjoyed talking to someone like he was doing today.
"You are a stranger. Why should I tell you about me? I always watch " Saavdhan India" what if you are a kidnapper in real life?"
Remo laughed hysterically upon reading it. 'This girl. Damn.'
He almost had tears in his eyes after laughing so hard. Controlling himself, he finally asked back.
"What are you a baby? Even they don't watch Saavdhan India."
Rolling her eyes, she answered back.
"Fine ask what you want to know. if it's not too personal I will answer you."
"Okay. Age?"
"17"
"Single/Relationship."
"Of course single. otherwise, do you think I would be talking to you?"
Remo breathed a sigh of relief, For some reason he wanted her to be single.
"No need to be so Angry. How about siblings?"
"one sister."
"Parents?"
"Alive."
"School?"
"That I won't tell you. What if you came there to kidnap me?"
Reno chuckled again at her innocence. Does she think he will need to know about her school name if he wanted to kidnap her?
'She is naive.'
"Hobby?"
"Reading."
"A nerd huh?"
"You can say that."
"Best-friend?"
Not knowing how to answer that, Jacky thought for a second and then replied
"Sister."
"Great."
"Favorite Music?"
"BTS and Arijit Singh. Stop now. You answer all these back."
"You are quite Feisty huh. But I like it. Okay."
"Age?"
"18"
"Relationship status?"
"Single but ready to mingle."
"Typical boys. Siblings?"
"An elder brother, How about we hook up your sister and my brother."
"You love to tease people huh. But don't involve them they are not in the conversation. Parents?"
Reno rolled his eyes at her but he was impressed. The girl had probably figured him out in five questions. No one had done that with him till her.
"All good and Alive."
"Favorite music?"
"Zayn and Taylor swift."
"Do you have a bike?"
"Oh, I am already falling for you. Right now, I don't have it but I promise you till next year I will have it."
"Geez. You don't have to promise me. Just promise yourself."
"Okay baby."
"Jerk. If you called me baby again. I will call you a jerk again."
"I'm falling for you now. You are so awesome."
"Don't butter me up. I won't fall for it. Mr. Remo."
"Okay fine. Don't fight, Just ask questions first."
"Stupid, Fighting makes friendship stronger."
"Oo La La. So you already considering me your friend."
Jacky's cheeks flamed redder than they already were. it was embarrassing.
"I didn't mean it. I meant in a general way."
"Whatever makes you sleep at night." Remo teased again, He was used to being cold. But this girl had already started stirring his raw emotions without even meeting him. He never teased girls but here he was teasing her again and again.
While on the other side, Jacky was embarrassed and wanted to cut their conversation short. But she knew if she just did that he might tease her again. To make sure he becomes serious and forgets to tease her again. She questioned.
"First love?"
"Rebecca."
"How long it lasted?"
"Two years."
Now it was her turn to tease him.
"Ohohoho. You were pretty serious about Sister-in-law huh?"
Reno frowned at the thought, What was she his sister. There was no way he was going to make her his sister. if better he wanted something else from her.
"What sister-in-law? You are not my sister. I don't have a sister Moreover I don't even want to have a sister like you."
Jacky was a little shocked to hear his mean words. He was talking to her so sweetly before this and now he started saying things like this. 'What's wrong with him?'
"But. Why are you getting so worked up? it was just a way of teasing. How can you get angry about this?"
Remo read the text again and again, 'Okay he admits it was a little mean but how can she just claim to be his sister. No one ever had tried to become his sister again. She had surprised him twice in the little conversation they had.
'what are you, Jacqueline? You are making me interested.'
"it's simple. I don't want to be your brother."
"Okay fine. even I don't want an ass like you to be my brother."
"Did you just used swear words on me?"
Jacky was never able to say more than five sentences to the people she didn't know, Yet knowing that they will never meet in real life made her bold. Hence, she was shining with newfound confidence.
"Yes. I did. What's wrong with it?"
"Nothing Baby. I liked it."
"Jerk."
"You can call me to jerk as much as you want to baby!"
Remo raised his hand and get laid on his bed smiling. it was so much fun to tease her again and again.
Jacky sighed in frustration, Why was he calling her baby. They were not in a relationship.
"You are crazy!"
"Let's be friends Jacqueline!" Remo texted her But to Jacky it didn't felt like he was asking her. it felt like he was telling her. He was using a statement method on her.
She wanted to tell him to ask properly first and not just demand it. But She had been alone for such a long time. She wanted to have a friend. A friend who will treat her free from all formalities. Who will have a right to say anything in any way: Good or bad! She wanted to use the rules of friendship on someone
Her rule #1: No sorry, No thanks.
Remo waited for her answer for five minutes, Unable to be patient he texted her again.
"Friends Jacky?"
Smiling Jacky answered back without the knowledge of the future. That one day it will become her worst decision of life.
"Friends."
"In a world full of fake, artificial, pretend, and superficial people. Promise yourself to be Gentle, Tender, and beautiful.You are the light so the dark has nowhere to hide.Be free." [Ifveen]...."Someone once said, A girl and boy can never be friends." Reno teased again. He knew she will be frustrated but he just wanted to do that. He wanted to check what will be her reaction."You idiot. Not someone, Shahrukh khan had said it." Jacky answered back rolling her eyes. she understood what she was signing for when she agreed to be his friend."Oh My my! My Jacky is changing."Seeing her reply, he was a little surprised, wasn't she the one who ridiculed him when he teased her. then why did she not retorted back when he said that."Stupid. I am not changing. I am going to sleep now. Good night." She was going to sleep Since there will be a lot of work to do tomorrow.
"I am truly me in the company of you. even if it's on the phone. You make me feel butterflies, in my stomach. it's a beautiful feeling bending me towards you. " [Jacqueline]Jacky's POV:The deep pitter-patter of rain reverberated through the window of my bus as I adjusted my backpack on my legs sitting on my usual seat in the back of the bus.I glanced outside the window, watching as people passed by the side of the bus trying to find some roof to protect themselves from rain. Eventually, as my eyes moved forward I set my eyes on a handsome boy in our white school shirt who walked through the crowd to the way where our bus was parked in the heavy rain. Not even caring if he was wet. Entering through the gate, he shook his head water dripping from his black hair, water seeping into his wet white shirt and grey pants creating ugly dirt marks on the floor of the bus.The driver must have said som
"I had always laughed at the idea of love. it was more like God to me, believed to exist because you are told it does. when no one has ever actually felt it, while capable people earned million on creating tales out of it. Being in a family where parents hate each other and barely talk apart from extremely necessary things and watching as your father hits and abuses your mother. love as a concept eludes you."[Jacqueline]Jacqueline's POV:"Good morning Students." Wishing everyone Mrs. Smith, My favorite teacher of our first-subject stepped into our classroom"Good morning Mam." Everyone chorused."Hmm Morning Everyone." Smiling she asked a young boy to step forward. However, As he came into the class, My eyes snapped open with shock."Let's welcome your new classmate Rohan. Rohan, Please introduce yourself."Jacky trembles as she sets her black eyes on Rohan. It occ
"Our inward Conflicts express themselves in our outward disasters. When we want nothing more than to keep them hidden." [Jacqueline]"Writer's pov.""Rohan, I am sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you." Hearing her pleasant and sweet voice made Rohan's heart skip a beat. His lips curved into smugness as he raised a question."But what is your real name sweet cheeks,? Do your classmates know about your hobby of lying to strangers?"Fear hit Jacqueline like a cold shower. She was sure he would create trouble for her out of nothing."I. I believe you can forgive me, Rohan, so tell me what do I have to do to earn your forgiveness?"Rohan grinned victoriously, his gorgeous, eyes shone with a gleam of mischief,"Are you suggesting that you will do whatever I want?"Her grip on h
"Have you ever made a scene, you saw in a movie or read somewhere in your head and then put yourself in it? Have you ever watched yourself from a different person's view going deeper and deeper into the scene, away from you? I hope you can feel my pain by placing yourself in the scene where your mother asked you to pack some food for your Parents. " [Jacqueline]My head throbbed, clenching my fist, I spooned some rice-eating it. But now it felt tasteless to me. I think just because I always wanted to have food with her in the same way she had served me was the mere reason which made it tastier than it was. But her words had completely ruined my appetite. Maybe because food may fade away but feelings don't."Are you okay dear?""Yeah.""Then you didn't answer me?""Thank you for asking, aunty, but my parents are not at home. So it's not required.""Oh Okay. By the way, Do you know Jo
"Real people will always be judged as Rude or arrogant. You can either learn to ignore comments or become fake like the rest of them." [Remo]....Writer's POV:Remo frowned at her answer, it wasn't a big deal to lie. Why was she getting so restless on such a small matter? it didn't make sense to him."I don't think it's a big deal, Jacky. You are overthinking. he won't be that bad."Jacqueline's brows furrowed, Ofcourse it wasn't a big deal for him. He would never have been bullied as to say such things. Again why did she even told him about it?'Ah. stupid woman. Now he will think you're nothing but a dramatic girl.' Her subconscious voice taunted her back and forth and she forgot to reply to him for a few minutes.Waiting for a response Remo sipped the juice he was having earlier. Disappointed at her behavior he texted again."What's wrong?"
Sorrows other than love's longing does this life provide,Comforts other than a lover's union to abide. [Remo]…...His eyes darkened with a sudden emotion as he read her text. It wasn't because he was still affected by it. But because every time he was reminded of it. He will always remember the betrayal. It always hurts like the first time it did."Yeah. I wrote it for my first love.""You loved her too much. Huh. Didn't you?""I did."Seeing the reply getting shorter and shorter Jacky realized she had laid
"Waking up every day to make breakfast feels as hard as sowing vegetables in farms." [Jacky]......The smell of the tea aligned up to my nose. Waking me up from my slumber. As I served it in two large cups. One for me and another one for my sister, I had woke up early today to make breakfast for us while my mom was writhing in pain from the last two hours. She had a stone in her gall bladder. And almost after every two days, she felt pain. And it was also one of the reasons for waking up early. Since I had to call the nearby Uncle from the medical store to give her a shot for controlling it.He had still advised me to ask daddy for an operation. Since it was the only way to cure it. It has been an hour since she slept and I came back to the kitchen to make something for breakfast. But my thoughts were occupied by the boy of the night.I was still stuck to him. His words. His thoughts. His life. 'What had he gone through to
