The dismayed look etched on Serena's face, was something I was expecting after my denial to this sham of a wedding. She thought the marriage was really happening, but little did she knew that it was only a game. I will never do a marriage of force with her. It was against my rules. Some rules are made to be broken; I made the rules to reprimand myself for the heinous deeds and thoughts which plague my mind or the reckless emotions, swirling in my heart. Serena was staring at me with wide eyes. I shifted my attention to the Father whose mouth was literally hung open in shock. Nathan was too confused to even blink his eyes which were set on me gawking because there was nothing else more ridiculous or obscene other than Daniel Price in this empty room. Emptiness resembling the hollow gash bleeding in my life. "Father, can I please request you to accompany my son to the rest room?" I requested in a genuine tone because it was a custom of our religion to always be respectful to our Father
Flashback It was 3 in the night when restless I got out of my bed. Checking up on Nathan, who was sleeping peacefully curled up in the mattress, I started to pace around the room not knowing anything other thank to keep my mind off my past. I wonder, whether life was always this critical for all or was I some special soul, who was confined to his own personal hell. I was probably running for a higher payroll if that was the case, given the tragedies seem to love my rugged face, devoid of the only component: sleep. In an alternate universe, sleep and peace are companions; in my world, they're step siblings who can never got along with me. Running my fingers through my hair, I messed my dried hair. Frustration caged my veins and I made my way out of the room to the balcony. At this odd hour of another lonely night, the view of the city didn't mystify me. It wasn't something I was fond off, but I did on a very random basis when nothing could calm me. And today was no exception after the
FlashbackHeart-melting is the key word to describe Serena's smile for me. The relaxing feeling that courses in my nerves when I am greeted by her melodious laughter as well as smile is something I can never get tired of. At one time, I hated the sight of any girl smiling, but with her presence around me, Everything has taken an U- Turn.And today as I held her in my arms, carrying her finally in my apartment, I realized I have been pretty anxious for her to shift in my home since the time, I asked her out two months back.Two months!! Long time but it wasn't a big deal when it flew away in a blink of an eye. I wanted her to shift instantly, but at that time, she lived in the hostel with her friends; thus due to the charges being paid for the time being, she couldn't just move out all of a sudden. Hence, we waited for the time to lapse up.And finally the day is here when my bold girl is in my arms, blushing to the colour of tomato."You know you don't have to pick me up. I can pretty
A week! Exactly, seven days have gone by since the last time I dictated my horrible decision to Serena literally tearing our hearts apart. The screech of her sole "what" still rang in my ears as if I were a patient of tinnitus. She hadn't uttered a word to me after giving me that deadpanned look which made a gash on my conscience and for a split second I even questioned my own folly or fate; till today I can't seem to conclude. But what troubled me was that she walked away without a fight. Indeed, her silence was the lowest blow to my heart...the ever so deceptive organ which can\t stop itself from leaping towards the holistic love of an angel. The drought of love and pain were present abundantly in my life, yet I couldn't this silent treatment of my once upon a time beloved. I might be trapped in my guilty subconscious most of the time but I've known Serena enough to know that she wasn't someone to give up without a squabble or atleast a dignified statement. She was ball of infinite
Horrified or surprised! I didn't knew that feeling that was rising in my veins when I saw the next day morning, Serena moving gracefully in my kitchen. She was making breakfast, humming some song while there was some unknown expression on her face, which only meant that she was so enjoying all this.While here was I? Her so called boyfriend still trying to reel in the shock of her yesterday's stunts. After literally leaving me speechless, she walked out like nothing happened, while I stood there gaping in her direction as if I was hallucinating Everything.I can't believe she managed to mess up my mind within a span of five minutes. What was she in the figure of a bold and full of attitude woman?Maybe a robot; because with the way she confuses my every brain cell, I doubt she can be a human.But the most important point at the moment was, how the hell did she entered inside? Yesterday, too she came inside without even knocking the door and today too? Did she got some special witchy w
In the present minute I wasn't prepared for the trepadiation which circulated me. Hell, even the word felt new to me and I didn't knew if it was Serena or me, but I'd the instant urge to bang a desk or break someone to pieces. In a second, my shells have started to crumple down with such a reckoning force, that I feared my vulnerable state may lead to the revealation of my secrets or burden of my past would be out in no time It might make Serena hate me. Despise me or worst she might even wish for my death just like Carolina.On the spur of the frightening call of my heart, I dismissed that thought away. Serena can never even think of hurting me, let alone the think of killing me. I was gutted. I was emotionally wrecked...pieces of my sorrow overwhelming me to do something irrational; scream and yell at the heaven; fight and literally kill the demons that turned me into monster that I never intended on becoming in this life. Perhaps, I might have been a dangerous person in my past lif
Flashback The spring break was going on but this time to rejoice was not doing any good to me. It was another deal to deal with my issues, but with Serena it was all together a different experience; because as the time progressed, Serena started to get paranoid regarding her excellence in the hospitality industry. And today was no exception. She woke up with a bad dream of having failed the exam. She cried in my arms like a child while I consoled her like a mature man reminding her of her positive points. One part of my heart was in deep guilt for hiding my insomnia issues from her but I thought it was too soon. It has just been one and half month, since she shifted in my place. Throwing my troubles at her all of a sudden wasn't a very sensible in my opinion. "Where are we going?" Serena who sat frustrated beside me in the car, inquired finally. I planned to remove her worries a little by making her do something which she loves. Thus, this surprise will remain a mystery to her till
The next day morning as I sat on the breakfast table watching Nathan and Serena, cracking jokes together, I realized that she is exactly doing what I wanted her to do. Rip Carolina apart from my soul. I haven't conversed with her after our unexpected hug, because my mind was traveling in her memories as well as of my past. Ever understanding like always, she didn't questioned me much but gave all the attention to Nathan. For once I was actually pleased with this, but my rational mind was even worried of what she was upto today. "Mommy, what are we gonna do now?" Nathan asked, getting excited already. It was his weekend off and he was all the more happy that he only had to wake up early for a day in the week. How amusing!"We are gonna play a game in your Dad's restaurant today." "What???" As soon as I heard her reply, my first word was my questioning Yelp, followed by me standing shooting daggers at her. Game in the Price Inns. Has she gone mad? "Well according to today's plan, I
