WHO IS HE? Want?
Rose's point of views :"You still haven't told me the actual reason of why you moved out of Daniel's place" Jessy asked back."I have told you we had a fight" I replied back walking faster than her now."But what the hell happened that you just decided to leave the house? It's such a big decision. I can sense something wrong. You are not telling me something." She asked again."Just let it go" I told her straight away, annoyed by her questions already.Her expressions softened."What are you doing to yourself rose. Why are you doing this? You don't look happy." She said softly."JUST PLEASE! YOU CAN SYMPATHIZE AND SHOW COMPASSION BUT UNDERSTAND MY PAIN? NO! SO PLEASE LET IT GO!" I finally retorted back in a louder voice.I am tired! Frustrated!It's all so complicated!Everyone wants the answer, the one that I can't give.I continued walking ahead ignoring Jessy.Soon she catched up with my speed and walked beside me.We walked in silence I felt terrible to be so rude with her now.
WHO IS HE? Moment or him?
Rose's point of views :Scene from the college canteen."You were quite moved seeing him standing there at the end of the lane last night." Jessy words got me out of my trance.It's true.I was wondering it too. What was that? I have never felt so overwhelmed for anyone.Was it the moment or was it him?Heaving out a soft sigh,"Yeah. I was relieved to see him there to be honest" I replied back."Well. Um, Why?" She asked back and I just gave a puzzled look in return."Don't mind me but even if there was an actual stalker following us, Daniel couldn't have done anything much though" she added with a titter laugh.Was that a mock? I didn't find that funny at all.Infact, why does it feel offensive to me?But the next thought made me snort in my head.Only if she had any idea of what all he is capable of doing."I mean...because of his condition, you know." Jessy added with an uncomfortable look."Yeah. I get it." I told her in a stiff tone, annoyed.Wow!I couldn't understand my own
WHO IS HE? His eyes
Rose's point of views :"You called Daniel for a night over? Seriously?" I asked my mom being astonished"He was worried for you and wanted to spend the night here to keep a check on you. Besides, why didn't you let me know that there is a stalker after you? How could you hide something so serious?" she asked back.With a stern glare,"I am very upset," she added."Well, I don't need him. You are here by my side .I would be fine" "Don't be ridiculous. He said he just wants to make sure you are okay until the stalker gets caught. He cares for you. Can't you see that?" My mom said"Like the stalker would get caught tonight itself. Don't tell me you will let him stay here every night" I said."What option do I have? More people in the house, the better it is!" She replied."That's so unnecessary" I complained.She just gave me a glare back in response."But mom..." I was about to say when she cut my words saying "He isn't a bad guy. He has never forced this relationship on you and is not
WHO IS HE? The gentleman
Early morning,Rose's point of views: "This is ridiculous. Since when did you become this early morning jogger? Also, why with me? I hate to wake up so early especially on Sundays" I heard Jessy whining."I wanted to talk about something in particular that can't be done with both Daniel and mom at home. So keep walking" I told her."What is it?" She said walking by my side.On walking a little more further,"How do I initiate?" I asked her.The expression on her face clearly said she didn't understand what I meant.Heaving out a soft sigh,"What I meant is how do I tell him that I would like to give our relationship a try?" I asked her straightaway."Um, I don't know. In Fact, how would I know? I have never had a serious relationship in my life" she replied.Rolling my eyes, I growled."You are seriously of no use Jessy" "Excuse me? That was rude" she said, showing off her fake angry expression."Just go talk to him" she said then."Okay. What should the topic be?" I asked her."Any
WHO IS HE? The guy
Rose's point of views :On the way back home,The conversation between James and Jessy seems like a never ending one. Their topics included everything from ants to elephants and it still kept going on."How is it that you never noticed James before, Rose? He lives in the building opposite to your's" Jessy asked me.I just shrugged back in response "Actually, I have recently moved in here so that's okay, I think. Well, who cares! Sometimes the most well known neighbour is also the one you know least about, right?" James said with his eyes on me. Just the way he said those words, it got me shivers!While Jessy just nodded back in response."And here we are. It's Separation time. Let's meet soon?" Jessy asked James.I gave them a glance.Of Course they will meet soon.They have already exchanged numbers too. Nodding his head in a yes, he replied "Definitely" "Well, since we are neighbours now, if you need anything, I'll stay right up there on the ..." I was about to say when James cut
WHO IS HE? A night with him
Rose's point of views:I perked up to give Daniel another glance. I have been doing that for a while now.His attention was only on his laptop's screen. He was too engrossed in his work to notice my eyes on him.Why is it so hard to focus on anything else other than him when he is present in the same room?Well that's partially incorrect.His Presence or absence doesn't even matter now. Lately, he has occupied my mind almost everytime and everywhere.Letting out a loud sigh, I turned my head down again to focus back on the book on my lap.After hardly a few minutes, I looked up again to give him another glance. This time...he caught me!Sh*t!"Um, you need something," he asked back.I shook my head in a NO.He gave a smile back in response and turned down back to his laptop.His eyes crinkle when he smiles, the small detail of him that caught my attention."Hmn" I said softly to myself"Hmn?" He asked, staring right back at me."Hmn?" I asked back."You said something?" He aske
WHO IS HE? The intimacy
Daniel's point of views :A short moment of eye contact and then that small smile on face.That's OUR intimacy.Just moments like these have become the most favourite part of my day.I don't take them as hints. Absolutely not!My heart is no longer looking for meaning in those gesturesI am just grateful for them.I don't know if I still have a chance with her or not. Honestly, I am not expecting one either.Her forgiveness is enough for me.Just loving this new change in our bond."The driver would drop you to college" I told her."Thanks," she said with a smile.With that my eyes were only on her as she stood up for leaving. Take care rose. God! I would miss you.LATER THE EVENING :Rose rushed inside the room straight as soon she was back.What's the hurry? I wondered.In about ten minutes, she walked out of the bedroom dressed in a red mini full sleeves dress.Where is she going?It will soon be dark. It's not safe, especially considering the circumstances we are dealing with."
WHO IS HE? FAILED?
Daniel's point of views :We failed?I was stunned on my spot.The grief is so strong that it has shook all of us. We thought we had it all in our control. We thought we had saved her.But we were SO WRONG!Another murder.We failed her.Sorrow pierced me to the core.With a heavy sigh, chase said in low voice"He managed to get Stella. By the time we reached her place, it was... too late." "Not just the basta*d brutally murdered her but he also challenged us leaving this message for us" chase added.Message?Swallowing, I peeked my head up to look at the white screen in front of me and as soon I did that my hand fisted into a ball and muscles went rigid.I could feel my breathing getting excessive.It showed words written on the wall with blood that said "You are right! Rose is next" It felt like someone had pushed me off the cliff and the sinking sensation followed by the hollow feeling.I was aware my face was turning cold, I probably looked like a pale white ghost.I am scared.
