Chapter One

The splendor and glamour of City Y is what everyone know. A sleepless city with busy civilians buzzing there and there on their schedules. A city known of it’s liveliness and it’s amazingly heavenly created landscape with beautiful skyscrapers and maze like roads.

In a Hotel in the same city with flowers in full bloom and breeze carrying a floral fragrance of them but Maya Rose was unable to admire it’s beauty rather the sight before her was suffocating her.

The blue moon light was illuminating itself on the familiar silhouettes she would spot anywhere in a crowded place. They were hugging , kissing and the moon light made them look so Perfect! The perfect couple that she has been looking for from him.

She used to ask him but he denied it every time. They had stopped spending time together because they were busy with their respective jobs. Even then she found time to squeeze in her busy schedule but he was just busy for lunch and dinners. He was busy with her. He was busy spending dinner with her while she was home all alone. He always came home late because he was sleeping with her.

Why didn’t she see this sooner? Was she really that naïve and stupid? The signs were there and evident but she chose to ignore them. She sure was the most stupidest person in the world and she deserves a Grammy award for that.

They were supposed to spend their third year anniversary together. They have been together for three years and just like that he drained it down. How could he?

She actually thought he was going to propose to her tonight which is way he asked her to come over to such an expensive and spectacular hotel. She had thought he has planned a candle lit dinner in a room and later have a romantic night together. She didn’t expect to find her boyfriend and his ex girlfriend tangled in a dance as old as time itself.

Their screams of pleasure turned into horror when they saw her standing at the door. To save herself from more pain Maya slammed the door and ran off.

She heard shouts from her boyfriend calling her to wait as she approached the elevator. Wait for what? More lies? What was he going to say? That’s it’s not what she is thinking after catching them having sex? No it was not going to happen again.

What has she done to deserve this? After so much dedication and devotion what has she done to the universe to deserve this? All she ever wanted was a loving boyfriend who would fight against the odds just to be with her but she got a cheating bastard instead.

She swore to never love again. Love. Love is such a foolish thing. She should have known better than have so much high hopes on it. Who would want her anyway? She’s big. Everything about her is surplus. She’s just a joke.

A big pathetic joke!

Noor Sebastian barged into the white homey house with four paper bags in her hands. She was breathing hysterical after getting the emergency call from her BBF stating that she needed her.

She brushed off a string of her wet hair from her forehead still panting. “Where is she?” she asked the woman who was in the living room reading a magazine. She wasn’t looking more than fifty.

The woman sighed placing the magazine besides her. “She is in her room. She has locked herself in there ever since she came back. She has refused to open it even after I have practically begged her to. She hasn’t even eaten and she’s a bloody mess.”

Noor bit her lower lip in worry. “Its okay aunt I will look at it. It can’t be bad this time,” she settles the bags in her arms and made her way upstairs to her friends room. She stood in front of the door and gave it a rough knock. “Hey quit whining and open the darn door before I break it. I bought your favorite strawberries with chocolate coat, a bottle of champagne and orchids. I think you might n….”

The door opened revealing a pinky nose and red eyes Maya with a bird nest hair.

“Jesus Christ! You look horrible!” Noor gasped.

Maya sniffled. “Really? You bought my favorite?” she ignored her rude introduction smiling at her.

Noor made her way into the purple and pink bedroom.

She sat down on the purple couch near the sliding window and stretched her arms finally been able to breathe. She glanced over to her friend who was sitting cross legged on the bed still mopping.

She let out a snort and made her way to sit next to her, she gave her side hug caressing her arm. “Okay tell me what happened? Why are you looking like this? You look like a disaster just stroked you.”

“Of course a disaster happened. As if the universe and all the gods of the galaxy are angry with me! Look at my dress. It’s all stained with drinks and food. Moreover I smell horrible. A waiter mistakenly tripped and the tray of macaroni cheese he was holding to serve fell on me, on the train a mother poured her baby’s hot milk on me. I almost got scorched by the hot liquid and not only that my heel broke and it rained. I didn’t even have an umbrella!” she bellowed between sobs.

Noor gave her a sympathetic look. “Now! Now princess tell me the whole story.”

Maya withdrew from the hug and narrated the entire story to her friend who was listening to her attentively. Once she was done she glanced at her friend to find her grinning like she just won a lottery.

“Why…why are you smiling like this? I just told you my misfortune and you’re smiling.”

Noor hissed at her and cupped her chubby cheeks. “Maya my baby! This is a great time to celebrate! Finally that imbecile did something magnificent and remarkable!” Noor exclaimed in pure joyousness.
