~NEERAL~ Taylor requested to stay and finish this work with him before I leave for Austin. I agreed with it. At least I can do this much for him after I crushed his heart. He is such a good man; he didn’t complain or mutter a word against me. Neither he asked me the name of the person responsible for his heartbreak. He wanted to give me my farewell dinner, but he had to return. “I am sorry, Neeral. My father is not well. Please stay here for a week and help me finish the work here.” I agreed to help him. He left leaving me alone in Seattle to complete the pending work. I drowned myself in work, as I wanted to finish it soon before I left for Austin. Seattle is a chilly place covered most of the time under ice. I returned to my cottage, where John and his wife made a delicious meal for me. “Thank you,” I smiled. They are here working as cottage caretakers. “Mam, somebody came asking for you?” John informed. “Who?” I asked casually. “He wanted to meet you, but when we asked
Eight months later~Neeral~It’s been eight months since I last saw Matt. My heart still ached for the moment I left him.When he showed up in Seattle asking for my forgiveness, I thought he felt something for me.But I was wrong. It was merely a gentleman’s gesture asking for my forgiveness, not more than that. I shut down all my social contacts and social media to stay low.I didn’t know I was hiding from him or scared of what would happen if he knew I was here in Austin.I came here and started a new job in a local publication house.They are paying well enough for me to survive. I rented a house with my new friends. Everything was going well, but every weekend reminds me how alone I was when my friends used to crash at their family’s or boyfriend’s house.Sometimes, to make my heart fool, I used to search Matt’s profile like a silent stalker. But it’s been a long time since he posted nothing. I am sure he forgot about me.And my foolish heart still remembers him as a precious memo
~NEERAL~ When the breeze touched my body, I fluttered my eyes. I was nude under my sheets, clutching something possessively. I found my head on his chest while my hand rested on his heart. I wiggled a bit when I saw his eyes were gazing at me. He kissed my head, giving me a morning blush as my first expression. He gently caressed my skin from my cheeks to my collarbone, giving me a sense of chills with his touch. “Good morning, beautiful,” he said, playing with my hair. Listening to these words from his mouth, I really felt a blessed morning. Doesn’t it feel strange that you love someone so much that their words can sanction your happiness or your sad moment? My eyes landed on my ring finger. “What is?” I asked, looking at the white stone on my ring finger. “Marry me,” What? Is he proposing to me for marriage in my bed? My eyes opened wide, and my jaw dropped. No, he can’t be serious. “Don’t play with me, Matt.” I didn’t accept this. But his eyes were seriously looking
~AOIFE~ Seriously, Matt’s soup sucks. I still remember the last time he gave me. It made me sick as I was throwing up all night. But I was pregnant at that time. “Fuck,” a thought crossed my mind. No, no, no, last time I was pregnant, and this time? I was lost in my thoughts while looking at the ceiling. My eyes shifted to the time as it was 11 AM. “Shit,” I was alone in the room, sleeping like a log. Where are the others? I did my morning business, as I was feeling tired. It could be because we were awake for the entire night. “Ahh..,” I came out, rubbing my head. “Good morning, girl,” Neeral smiling. “Where are the kids?” I plumped myself on the couch. “They are outside playing with their fathers. What happen to you?” Neeral extended coffee. “I don’t know. Your husband’s soup sucks. Whenever I had it, it made me sick.” I rested my head against the couch. She chuckled. “It made you sick? When was the last time you had it?” “Ahhh... Neeral, when I used to come to his
Aoife is two months pregnant and getting ready for her marriage. The environment was filled with love and happiness. “Aoife, look at your veil.” Neeral fixed her perfect bun. She finally looked at herself in the mirror as tears filled in her eyes. “It feels like I am dreaming,” she whispered. “No, you are not. That is what you always wanted,” a known voice came from the corner of the room. She saw the reflection in the mirror. “Gabriel,” Aoife smiled with teary eyes. Gabriel and Angel came walking towards her. “Congratulations,” Angel hugged Aoife. “Thank you,” Aoife replied. Gabriel cupped Aoife’s face and pecked a kiss on her head. “I am wondering what’s going to happen now,” he raised a brow. “What do you mean?” Aoife crossed her arm in her laced white bridal gown. “You are pregnant,” he shrugged his shoulder. She furrowed her brow. “That means he should be prepared to get his ass kicked by you,” he chuckled. Aoife and others laughed. “No, I did this before, and I k
Kill meLie meCurse meDo it one more againHold me. (Darkroom)The sound of the woofer coming from the Aventador was enough to tell others not to go near his territory, The engine pulsated the monoxide in the air, and the car shook with the action inhabitant inside. Those tinted Black glasses encapsulated the adventure, keeping others unaware, and the sound of moans became the whispers of cries; nobody intruded to look after.Why would anyone go into the lion’s cave? After all, he was enjoying his morning feast; he was the uncrowned king of this college.A bully, Once that tinted Black glass slides. The steam of warmth evaporated outside, and the satisfied eyes scanned the rear mirror- he sneered, hearing the exhausted breath of his partner in crime.The girl called his name in a suppressed voice.“X...X...., Xander,”His twirled lips changed, and an eyebrow arched. “It’s sir, not Xander.” The devilish smile said it all.She gasped as he clutched her jaw with a single grip.“Can
‘Ragging time’As the new batch entered the college, it was time for seniors to dictate to juniors with rules and commandments. But before they marched towards this new herd of freshman batch, the dean came to greet them.“Good morning, everyone,” he took them on the college tour and finally showed them their class.“So here is your class, and beware of your seniors. They might come. But you need not worry. Our college has strong policies against bullies.” These were his words when he left the class.All the students looked at each other and introduced themselves. The first day seemed pretty refreshing, and the Professors were amiable.With the surety of getting protection from the bullies, some students were relaxed, but some were afraid as they knew the reality of what their DEAN said was a piece of fake news.They knew their DEANS, as well as the Chancellor, scared of Xander Baston.It’s better to surrender and best not to answer him back. Otherwise, he will make your life hell for
With first-day wishes, the Dean dismissed the class with an ear-to-ear smile. It was a beautiful day except for an unexpected encounter with the rude seniors. The classmates were cool. The atmosphere looked suitable, but they didn’t know what awaited them at the next moment. As the Dean went out of the class, the seniors entered with a grimace on their faces. “Sit down, all of you,” Victor announced in a firm voice.“Good afternoon, everyone.”“I hope you all had a wonderful day, but now it’s time for the real college.”Everyone looked at each other with confused faces.“Let’s introduce yourself. Who wants to go first?” another senior said.They did what they instructed to them. One after another, they introduced themselves, giving seniors time to make fun of them. When the introduction ended, the seniors announced the rules. And the condition might develop if they don’t follow it.The whispers of consequences filled the room, and Xander entered the classroom. Everyone cocked towards
