FLASHBACK CONTINUESI stiffened in his arms the moment I heard his question.Will I ever leave him?Of course, this was a question whose answer I already had in my mind.A year.I'll leave after a year which now might have already been reduced to a few months.But how can I tell him that?So, instead of answering, t tried to change the subject."You...Why are you so...good at speaking Hindi?"Even though what I wanted to ask was "why are you so good to me?".He tightened his arms around me and answered."I'm not.""Hmm?""I wanted to surprise you so I learned that sentence specially for that moment." He voice went low as he spoke the last few words.I could almost feel his breath spraying on my earlobe."Ohh." I nodded in response."I thought you knew Hindu." Chuckling at my own assumption, I turned around."Tell me about you." I said to him, looking straight into his eyes.I wanted to know more about him. Just know, he talked about his mother. I've never heard of her before so I am c
The flowers of various different colours were arranged in a uniform manner around the entire boundary of the hall. The ruby red and pure pink were the ones that dominated among the flower arrangements. Beautifully embroidered and shimmering golden, thick curtains laced with soft white laces had formed an exquisite bow at the place where the curtain threads are tied, along with the huge hanging chandelier sparkling like diamonds on above and the silent but peaceful cover of the dark night, it all made this date night more special. As I marvelled at the luxurious decorations, a sound came from behind me and no later I felt a light stubble grazing the back of my neck. "Ah, Xander!

"Huh." I took a deep breath. To be honest, in such a beautiful atmosphere, I have had already lost my he
"Love is a smokeMade with theFumes of sighs."- William Shakespeare_________________________________________________________________________He was standing there. Looking so broken, so fragile. I didn't know what to do. There were tears in his deep ocean like eyes turning midnight sky minute by minute."You are lying. I want you. I need you."His voice trembled.Not able to look at him anymore, I turned my head away."Why don't you get it?" I asked.I never wanted to see him like this.Never thought a man like him would be in front of me like this someday."I never had any feelings for you. All this meant nothing to me. I do not love you. I can't love you. You deserve better. You deserve the best." With that I turned around and walked away."Please, don't do this. I know you don't want to do this. We can be together. Please...." He tried again, running after me.His face clearly showed he didn'
"Each night , the moon kisses secretly the lover who counts the stars.."Rumi___________________________________________________________________Third person's povThere she was. Looking as beautiful as moon in a night sky full of darkness shining around and lighting everything up with her cheerful aura, sweet voice , that melodious laugh and ever so pretty eyes. It was to say even stars would envy her.As one would say after looking at her for first time, a ball of sunshine and rainbows was she but as they say people judge too quickly and she was no exception to that.

"Listen tothe silence.It's tellingthe truth."Unknown____________________________________________________________________Her walk home took almost thirty minutes. She stopped at a few points to relax , take in her surroundings. She wanted to spend her all night outside in such a beautiful weather. Just what she wanted. But she had to go home and also ask her two stupid bestfriends why they thought it was wide to leave her there alone at the party.She was confused why would they do that.

"I want youto know.But I don'twant to tell you."____________________________________________________________________The next day she woke up by sunrays coming through the window and falling on her face making her look like a golden angel with beautiful gold eyes and soft glowy face.A beautiful day, she thought and woke up.
