I love you

“If your love will not let you try even after knowing there is no chance at all that is not what you call a love!” 

[*****]

“I… I am sorry to barge. I just want to pass through as you were standing on the way.”

Seeing her innocent, yet beautiful face, Shishir was so moved. He suddenly had a feeling that he was just waiting for her all this time. He wanted to claim her and make her his for eternal. He was not able to take his eyes off her.

“Do you have any idea who you are talking to?” Scarlett, who was all ready to flex in front of Mendes roared at her with anger filled in her tone.

"Um... I.." the girl stammered nervously tucking her hair behind her ear.

“Please, enjoy yourself,” Shishir suddenly said, moving aside, indicating the girl to walk away.

“What?” Scarlett was shocked to see the sudden change in his behavior.

“Thank You…” the girl bowing in front of him said and walked away.

Even though she walked away, Shishir's eyes were glued on her. This was the first time he was having such feelings for someone in that way. Never in his life, he had wanted someone so desperately.

"What does she think of herself? Don't even know who she is talking with…" folding her arms Scarlett muttered glaring at the girl who was now glancing at the photo frame of the polar bear, mother, and son which was so cute.

Suddenly the girl turned towards Scarlett. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened as if she had seen something very unbelievable.

"Oh! my God!" she blurted.

"Now she recognized me…" Scarlett rolled her eyes and looked away pretending to ignore her.

With amusement, Shishir was watching her. He was sure if she was going to be one of Scarlett's followers then she was probably not his cup of tea. He rather had to pack back the feelings which were emerging inside him for her.

She staggered towards them with the same wide eyes and jaw dropped looking so cute. Little did she know that she was melting the cold heart of a charming prince.

When Scarlett knew she was close to her, she turned towards her and was about to speak out, but the girl passed through the small space left between Steven and Scarlett. Once again Scarlett was embarrassed by the girl in a very unknown way. The girl walked close to the photo frame and drawing her eyes very close to it glanced at the picture of a girl wearing chiffon long layered dress.

The girl in the photo was standing on one leg and the other leg stretched near her head. What made the picture creative was the angle it was taken with her dress stretching like an umbrella from one leg to the other. The background was all white and it looked very simple yet very creative.

“William Aurther… my favorite photographer. I know there are lots of other great photographers in the world but for me, you are the best…” the girl moving her finger said to the photo frame.

“Is her screw loosen?” Scarlett mumbled laughing scornfully trying to hide her embrassement.

Shishir with lots of amusement and an eased heart darted at the girl. He was already attracted to her and was enjoying the way she was giving surprises.

"She doesn’t recognize the top model, Scarlett Cohen, and is not bothered about what is going on. She doesn’t hesitate to admire things closely… She talks with non-living things… Pretty amazing... She is my t-y-p-e…"

As Shishir was trying to assume thing and had already started to built castle in the air,suddenly he saw a man in his mid-twenties approaching her.

Shishir's castle was about to be destroyed in no second. So he held his heart tight and waited for what was coming.

The man patted her shoulder before as she turned around, she jmped into his arms exclaiming, “I loved… it… thank you so much, baby. I always wanted to be a part of this exhibition. It’s like my biggest dream coming true and it is just possible because of you. Thank you, thank you so much. I love you...”

Shishir whose heart had never felt like beating for the first time was giving the rhythm to his ear. Seeing her hugging someone else made him feel so sick. The charm which had attracted all the girls around him, felt useless for him when it was not able to attract the one for whom his cold heart was melting.

Back To Present…

“Why? Why does it have to be you?” Shishir hit the steering furiously. “Why the girl who I admired the very first time I saw, why does it have to be you…”

He was breathing heavily and his blood was boiling up. He got down from the car and started kicking the tire furiously.

He rubbed his forehead and glanced up in the sky. He took a deep breath and gulped hard. And then darting down said to himself, “I have to do this… Yes, not for me but for Corinna… I have to do this…”

He then got inside the car and turning the car around drove back to his bride. Driving a few meters away from Church, he saw her walking in the distance clutching the box close to her chest.

Stopping in front of her, he rolled down the glass and in cold commanding tone said, “get in!”

Ojaswi glanced at him with tearful eyes. Seeing her tears, it twitched his heart. She hastily wiped her tears away and said in a strong voice, “are you sure?”

Shishir looked away for a while and got down from the car. He walked to the side where Ojaswi was standing. Looking deep into her eyes, with no emotion on it, he stepped close to her.

The more he stepped closer, the more her heartbeat increased. She was not able to make eye contact with him so she lowered her head.

She saw his hand raising and felt his breath on her forehead. She gulped hard not knowing what he was going to do.
