Prologue
I wander like a feather
In search of you,
The unknown cloud drenched my heart,
Love flooded in me every day.
I vanished into thin delight,
When I am pierced in your eyesight!
My tears would be tang,
If it is soaked in your love!
Devoid of the aim and occurrence,
My soul just shadowed you.
You traced me in my dreams,
Exuberantly I cheers.
You crammed my heart,
Half you reveal remain you conceal.
I recognized the origin of our love.
Without root, seed or rain,
My love orchid is full of blooms.
Even my shadow abandoned me
In darkness,
But, a heart comforts me
With its warmness!
I am lost in you,
Waiting...
To be found by you!

The Past,
The cold full moon shines brightly to mark its territory. The black eagle circled the deep woods of Lebanon cedar and cawed to signal his master about finding the rightful wood.
The visceral sound of chainsaw against the old tree seems to pierce the eardrums and to drive our guts deeply into our bones. A tireless man in a black cloak ferociously chopped the big wood along with his pet bird, Eagle. The tall cedar tree was partially chopped and one single friction made to the tree, its fall.
His master approached the tall tree and hold the bark with his hands and placed his forehead on the bark. His pet bird, an Eagle, sat on his shoulder and placed its head on the tree-like its master did.
The black cloak master talked to the cedar tree in a broken shivered voice, “Let all the bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.”
He pushed the tree with his full force to make it fall to the ground with a loud noise. The tree then loaded in his truck and tuned to get the frequency of his radio. The radio played his favourite music album, “And, that was only yesterday; but will I ever face tomorrow? She took away what I’d had, and returned it full of sorrow…” by the album named Spooky Tooth: That Was Only Yesterday.
He always node his head for the beats but now he couldn’t shake his head and the lyrics, “…returned it full of sorrow…” he wept over the lines gravely and he started the engine with full speed to his small factory.
He sliced the cedar tree into pieces with help of his chopping machine and after seven hours of shedding his sweat and energy, he prepared the coffin decorated with a minute carving of little turion buds and butterflies with extreme grief and agony in his chest.
He removed the fabric from the person long dead, placed the soulless body in the coffin and grieved over their death solemnly. He attached the chains and wheels to the coffin and dragged the coffin to his mind destined place.
On his way to the heart of the building, he imagined that he was walking in the meadow holding the hands of the dead person. The fresh flowers of spring gave the sight of ecstasy. After reaching the destined place, he placed the coffin in the centre and he shouted to his full throat looking up the ceiling, “ESPERARÉ.”

In the present day,
The door of the classy white elevator dinged to open; a suited man with folded white sleeves emerged from the elevator. He stuffed his right hand in his pocket while the left ringed hand was lightly stirring the glass filled with ice cubes and beer, to blend the ice cubes with beer.
The entire living area was silent enough that could echo only his approaching boots sound. The warning boot sound alerted the workers around who came rushing towards the elevator entrance to greet their superior.
They formed a parallel line to allow him to pass through to his chamber. He proceeded past his line of servants and maids, all of whom welcomed him with great courtesy. The suited man sipped his iced drink from the glass in his left hand was decorated with rings on his forefinger and watch on his wrist and approached the largest spiral staircase in the main assembly area.
He was sipping his drink as he ascended the stairs, but he abruptly came to a halt as he approached a curve in the staircase. He stood next to the flash of light, his face overshadowed by the brightness of the light.
"The Winter is coming," he voiced his workers and grinned at the corners of his lips, "Let the gates be open to welcome our visitors."

The scratching sounds of the pens have echoed the walls of the classroom upon the lecturer’s instruction. Some girls were seriously discussing a leisurely topic and some girls were giggling on the plain senses of humour. Some boys were sleeping on their desks and some were gaming on their phones. The lecturer named Mr Alexander Thijarux, who has been lecturing them for solidly three hours without quenching his throat, didn’t mind any of the activities of students since he know about his students. He is known for his short – temper yet sociably to befriend with and the most handsome man around late 60s who is two decades younger in his appearance. He allows the freedom of the student to do whatever they want without disturbing his lecture. Students too mutually agreed to him. When all the students were enjoying themselves instead of bothering to take notes which were recited by their handsome lecturer, a pair of spectacles worn green eyes was
How to create the architecture portfolio? Mrtyu with her pair of spectacles wore green eyes searched the question in the G****e search box to find the relevant details and scribbled the steps in her scratch book from her dormitory which was a few feet away from Ishvakar Academy who was residing with her friend, Geeza. Step 1: Choose your project “Choose my project... oh G****e, I don’t know what Mr Alex assigned me, probably he would mail me by now...?” she lamented to the search engine on her desktop computer. “Who are you taking to Miss Moaning Myrtle?” her roommate, Geeza enquired who was distracted by Mrtyu’s laments from her leisure time of reading fiction and comics. “Geez... Stop calling me with the character from your fiction books. Last night you called me with some other name like Bellatrix…” she replied without breaking eye contact with the desktop. “Alright, fine. Mrtyu, my sweet friend, what are you lamenting to your pc? G
Mrtyu changed her dress to casuals as it was the weekend. She rode her bicycle to lecturers’ dormitories. She was stopped by the security guard, “Where are you going, Miss?” “Please let me in. I need to meet my lecturer.” “As today is a weekend, all gone to their houses and will be returned by tomorrow evening. So don’t bother yourself and return to your dormitory.” “I am going to meet Mr Alex. I know he won’t leave this academy even on the festivals and vacations.” The security guard smiled at her and snapped his fingers, “You are right. He never left the academy. He is in the south wing, but little girl, you must be cautious; he is a short temper man. Get your bicycle always ready to flee at any time...” he chuckled. Mrtyu smiled and rode inside the lecturers’ dormitories towards the south. The road to the south wing was a little longer than the entrance located at the north. She rode through the road which was covered with tall and big bran
“Either its castle or grave, the uniqueness of the architect implies the true feelings. I don’t know where I get the inspiration for choosing this course; it was like I have born to design the uniqueness in the buildings which could speak my name.” Mrtyu explained. “So to become a successful architect you need to focus on everything, think out of the circle you draw and put some effort to master your chosen course.” Mr Alex concluded. “What a waste of time!” she thought inwardly and replied to him with a fake smile, “oh… Thank you for your time, Mr Alex. I won’t bother you. I won’t disappoint you in the project; I will do my level best to get recognition as an architect.” She added little force in her legs to exit. “Miss Mrtyu, wait.” Mrtyu halted her legs and waited for him to continue. He asked her, “I saw you admire the portrait? May I know the purpose of your admiration of this portrait?” Mrtyu knitted her brows and spoke with littl
Geeza handed her luggage and urged her to get on the bus soon, “Why do you push me, Geez?” “Get in soon and seat near any handsome boy (Geeza told her with an extreme expression on her face) and when you return I must see you have a boyfriend holding your hand.” “Geeza… I am going for the project not dating or something. I prefer to sit alone than be seduced on the bus. Also, all boys in this team have their girlfriends to pair with. So I must sit alone or seat next to the driver to enjoy a single’s life than bothering the young couples.” Mrtyu told her thoughts. Geeza murmured something inaudible and Mrtyu hugged her, “Goodbye, Geez. You can sleep well tonight occupying our whole bed. And sleep well. Don’t sleep late reading your fiction books.” Geeza smiled and bid her goodbye. Mrtyu got into the bus and she searched for an empty window seat. To her wonder, an entire seat was left unoccupied and her eyes rolled to find Adriana seated with Quasar Mal
"Is this how you usually introduce yourself?" Mrtyu inquired, fixing her unruly hair and attempting to turn her gaze away from him while flashing her piercing green eyes towards Aaron.Aaron refused with immediate response, “No… definitely no. I don’t have any intentions, it’s an accident.”“Mister, can you say what to call you than a Pervert?” Mrtyu asked him with anger bubbled red face.Aaron backed a little with protesting palms, “Woah… Madam. Please handle your words with care. Don’t break any innocent heart with your piercing words.”Mrtyu eyed him, “I am sorry that I wanted to call you a pervert…”Aaron smiled at her, “Apology accepted.”Mrtyu continued her words ignoring him, “…You are more than a pervert.”Aaron shrunk his smile beamed face, “Seriously, Mrtyu, do I look like a pervert? Do you know who I a
When love was blissfully exhibited in the last seat between Aaron and Mrtyu, the bus driver, Cherry Hornworts, blinked his eyes at the road to wipe his sleep. Mr Alex took the Thermo flask he had to pour some hot coffee to Cherry.“Drink this, Cherry. Destroy your creepy idea of killing us.” Mr Alex mocked Cherry.“No, not at all, Alex. Dozing is normal for all humans. I will be careful in my way.” Cherry apologized to Mr Alex.“Tell me, Alex, how are your days going?” Cherry opened his talk.Alex sniffed at Cherry to look outside the bus to gather his all past thoughts when Cherry continued, “Alex… I am happy that you are a respectable lecturer in HIS academy after that incident…”Alex exhaled while sipping his coffee, “Let bygones be in past, Cherry. Don’t bring it up. It was the horrible nightmare ever to be dreamt of. Let me, how were you? The elder Cherry…?”
"Excuse me, Sir, sorry to interrupt you, may I ask you something?" Mrtyu approached Mr Alex to inquire about his grandson.Mr Alex nodded enthusiastically as he gazed at her fading face. "What exactly is it, young lady?""Where is your grandchild?" Mrtyu questioned him frankly, without equivocation.Cherry opened his mouth to ask Mr Alex, “You have grandson, Alex? You never mentioned a single word that you got grandson?”Mr Alex felt that now the colours from his face faded out, “Pardon?”Cherry replied to him, “What pardon, Alex? Are you deaf or what? She is asking about your grandson. He is naughty little fellow, he got girlfriend… hahaha.”Mr Alex asked her ignoring Cherry asked Mrtyu, “Why are you asking about my grandson? How do you know I got grandson?”“He told me so. He boarded on our bus, isn’t he? Mrtyu said with a mixture of shock and tremble.Cherry
