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.
WHO IS HE? comfort
Rose's point of views :The serene quiteness made no difference to my thumping heartbeats.As we walked together,My mind was still trying to absorb what just happened back then.Ominous thoughts filled my mind likeWho was he? How long will this continue? I hate to feel so vulnerable everytime."Don't worry. You are safe now" I heard James saying.I exhaled a deep breath and just gave a nodI don't have much to say.Daniel should have been with me by my side.I couldn't help vex about that too.Where did he go all of sudden?"This area is clearly not a safe place. You should have at least called your husband to pick you up from the club" he said then in his evident British accent."How did you know about the club?" Jessy asked immediately"I guessed it seeing the attires" he replied back.Okay.."Um, my husband did insist but I refused him" I replied back softly."Thank god that you were there" Jessy said."Yeah" We bid bye to James as we reached out building On walking upstairs
WHO IS HE? Why me?
Rose's point of views :And then he told me everything...How he was appointed for this mission to find the mysterious murderer that has been brutally murdering women since months.How they found out that I was one of his targets and that he was chosen for my protection.Frankly, I was scared. Infact, I was terrified when he told me about Stella's murder.I couldn't help but wonder How sick could one be to do something so brutal!How could someone be so inhuman?Only a sheer devil would do something so sinful.Heaving out a sigh,"Why did you have the knife that day? Did it belong to the murderer?" I asked him.He nodded back and replied back "We had confiscated that knife from the spot on the night when we saved Stella earlier""And that night, I heard you stopping someone to burn someone alive. Um, what was that?" I couldn't refrain from asking."That was just another criminal we caught the night before. My colleague loses his cool easily but nothing of the sort happened" he replie
WHO IS HE? What changed?
Rose's point of views :"Damn! Will you please get out of your Dreamland, rose! It's getting annoyed now. What has gotten inside you?" I heard Jessy's complaining voice."It's nothing" I said softly and couldn't hide the smile I still have from the last night."Seriously? What changed overnight? The last time I saw you, you were this grumpy and worried young woman and now, you have this irritating goofy smile plastered on your face even while staring at this stained white wall" she exasperated.I looked back puzzled.Is it?I couldn't even tell."It's something related to Daniel, right?" She asked then with folded arms staring right back at me.I could feel my cheeks getting hot, reminiscing about our conversation last night.Of course, mostly the end part of that."We just had some talks." I replied softly "OH MY GOSH! Did you tell him you wanna give your relationship a second chance? What did he say then? How did he react? Tell me. Tell me everything!" She asked back enthusiastical
WHO IS HE? A picture
Rose's point of views :Almost running downstairs, I found Jessy talking to James.Just when James looked past Jessy towards me and then waved at me with his characteristic smirk smile "Hey" He suddenly raised his camera and clicked a picture of me making me momentarily startled on my spot.I had to blink a couple of times to regain back my composure" It's rude to click picture of someone without the permission. Please delete it." I told him straightaway."Come on! Just one picture" he said with a pout."I need pictures of every beautiful thing in this city. You are one of them" he added then.My eyes simply widened as i stared back lost for words now.He added " I am sorry. My bad! That was too cliche!""Remember when she said that she is married, she was actually serious that time, James" Jessy intervened.She sounded upset though."Oh...okay. I was just kidding" he said with a titter laugh which we reciprocated."It's okay but please delete my picture. I really don't like it" I
