Rose's point of views :He finally looked up. He had his mask on that covered half of his face but as soon he looked up, those deep as ocean, brown eyes met mine and it was as if the time just stopped.I already knew who he was.And then finally...He took off his mask.A soft gasp escaped my mouth and my hands instinctively went down.He is here...Is he really?Am I dreaming? I pinched myself. It did hurt.He is actually here standing in front of me staring right back at me. He has changed. He looks different with a grown beard and long hair that reached upto his shoulder.Yet his stare still had an effect on me.With his gaze firm on me, he said nothing but simply stared back unblinked. While I couldn't form words too.This feels unreal.Why do all the fairytales feel true each time he looks back at me?"Are you okay?" He asked back in voice lacing concern that got me out of my trance.I noticed how my breathing has gotten rapid now.His expression wasn't his characteristic stoic
Daniel's point of views :Seeing her after so long and just being so close to her, It felt as if someone up there finally answered my prayers and I only wished that the night never ends.Confessing my love was just in the fit of impulse with no expectation.I have confessed my feelings to her innumerable times before too but she never reciprocated them. I have always believed that love is not something that needs to be chased or forced on. Thus, I have always respected her feelings even though it killed me to push her away.But now, when she said..."Daniel...I love you too"Everything just freezed for me. I couldn't believe my ears. For a second, I thought I was totally imagining it.I felt so unsure if I heard it right.Those words are what I have been longing to hear her say since eternity.Did she actually just say it? It still feels unbelievable!"Huh?" Yes! That was my response.She chuckled clearly seeing my flushed expression."I love you Daniel" she said again with a smile i
Rose's point of views :Time flies.Tomorrow is our eight months dating anniversary.Yes...It's been eight months since I moved in with him.It's been eight months of us dating.Heaving out a soft sigh,A blissful eight months I can say.We got to know each other better.And,Day by day,Piece by piece,Slowly and soundlessly, I fell in love with him deeply.I realised that Daniel is more than just a charming, sensible, Mr. Always the serious, stoic expression guy that I used to think of. He could be funny and romantic at times too. Yes! Romantic too. His tender caresses and those passionate kisses take my breath away and leave my soul in a never ending trance.Anyways..The best part is that he totally gets me.It's hard to put it into words what it's like to be with him.For me, he is like a shade that I can walk into, anytime life burns me.I have never been so 'Me' before him.There is never an effort with him. Basically, our bond grew stronger over these eight months.Or so I t
Flashback : One Month ago,"I refuse to marry him," Rose said firmly.But instead of getting riled up, Daniel just stared back at her with a stoic expression."Aren't you up to your neck in debt Miss Rose? My brother is in love with you. He is capable of not only keeping you happy but also giving a better life to your family. I suggest that you think over your decision one more time" said his brother.Her hand balled in a fist.Those words just infuriated her more because she is anything but one of those greedy, helpless and dependent girls who are waiting for their knight in shining armor to save them from their misery but before she could retort back, Daniel replied sternly instead."Mason, don't do that. It should entirely be her decision and I will completely respect it if she refuses to marry a handicapped person like me. But yes, I would like to state it clear for once that if Rose decides to marry me, I would definitely treat her family as my own." She just stared back at him
Next day.Rose's point of view:Scene from the Dining area,As i headed out, "The breakfast is ready" I heard Daniel's voice getting me out of my daze."I am really getting late. I'd just grab something on the way." I reasoned out."Everything else can wait. Please eat. I would like to have a pretty company too for a change." He insisted in his sultry voice, staring right back at me.Pretty? Okay..I could feel my cheeks catching fire. I am not used to compliments hence it did feel weird or rather weirdly good precisely.I am sure my face has turned a lighter shade of red. Damn!At least the man knows to charm the woman with words.Letting out a sigh, I pulled out a chair for me to sit right next to him."Who made the breakfast?" I asked being curious."It's Lucy, our only maid. She has to attend her college too hence, she comes early to make breakfast and then attends her college and after college, she works here as helper till late evening." Daniel replied, digging in his breakfas
Rose's point of view :The next day,On waking up, I was surprised to find myself alone in the bed. It's 8 in the morning and he wasn't back yet.As I walked out of the room, I heard some scrabbling noises from the kitchen. On Walking closer to an unfamiliar figure in my kitchen, I observed a blonde woman engulfed in scratching and rubbing something near the kitchen's sink."Hi, you must be Lucy, right? " I said standing behind her a few distance away. My voice made her stiff like a statue on her spot. She did not turn for a good few seconds. How can I not be suspicious then? Instead of acknowledging my presence, she is acting like a deer caught in the spotlight at the moment.Finally turning her head a little towards me, not completely, just slightly, she replied " Um hi. Yes, I am Lucy" of course i found it strange!"I did the dishes last night. So, what are you doing there?" I asked, curious as i tried peeking a little but couldn't see anything. Her body was covering the sink as
Rose Point of views :A kNIFE?With my eyes now wide opened, I felt myself frozen on my spot. My heartbeats echoed in my ears and my breath was hitched.Why does he have a knife in his suit pocket? I frowned."Are you okay?" Daniel asked in a calm voice yet it sent shivers down my spine.My mouth felt dry. On lifting my gaze to look at him, i noticed his narrowed gaze on me and thus quickly averting my eyes from him, I just looked down keeping a straight faceDid he figure out that I had seen it?What would I do if he did? But well, that can't be good.I swallowed hard, wishing I could just disappear in the air.Nodding in response, I somehow managed to stand up on my feet."I'd go get ready for college" I managed to say somehow in an audible voice.Excusing myself, I paced as fast as i could walking inside the bedroom.TWO HOURS LATER,In the lunch break,"A KNIFE?" Jessy asked back, clearly astonished to hear about it too."Yeah and could you please lower your voice. You are too lo
Next Day.Rose's point of view :Scene from the college,"He lied? Really?" Jessy asked again puzzled."Yes" I simply said."So, you mean to say that he just simply refused to accept that he carries some unique kind of knife around with him." She said again."Yes. He said I might have mistaken a pen as a knife. Can you believe him?" I told her."Did you?" I heard her asking back immediately then."WHAT?" I was bewildered by her response."I am sorry but it could be a possibility. Why would he carry a knife with him?" She replied back with a frown.I narrowed my eyes on her and said "Not you at least." "Okay. I am sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you are lying. But maybe....uh, you are mistaken." She replied with hesitation."Yes because I am that dumb, right?" I told her in a louder voice with a glare."Oh, come on! You don't have to get offended" she whines."You know what I don't want to talk about my weirdo husband especially not with you anymore" I said and with that moved to w
