The Heart Novels & Stories

"Nice pick, Dr. Clayton." "Please call me Noah." "Being a popular cardiologist at the age of 28.. pretty impressive. What makes you want to be a cardiologist?" I put down my wine glass and put my attention fully to him. "I lost my little sister to heart complications 20 years ago so that made me want to save people who have heart problems." He swirled his wine glass. "I bet she's happy to have a great brother like you. You're saving people now." "How about you? You have a passion for cars." He put down his wine glass and turned to me.

All that was there were his serious eyes and perfect face. He leaned in closer and | could smell his breath. It smelled like rain and mint gum. | was breathing heavily now, my heart pounding harder and harder. His eyes were trained solely on my lips, then wandered back to my eyes. His lips brushed lightly against mine and | sucked in a breath, my lips tingling. | suddenly tilted my head sideways and looked away from him. Pushing his body away, | got up hurriedly and stepped out of the ring. "Where are you going?" he asked, climbing down after me.

I say. "Really? Then how am I even breathing," he says as he pulls my head close to his chest and I can hear his heart beat louder than ever. "Do you think I am heartless?" he says. "But your heart doesn't do anything except pumping the blood. There is no emotions, no feelings nothing at all," I say. "Heart is to pump blood. There is nothing else that it does. Tell me if there is any," he says. "It does. It thinks, it shows your emotions which you never know at all," I say.

’ Heart thought. “Why are you making my heart beat like this, huh?!” Cullen screamed angrily as he grabbed Heart’s hand and put it on his chest. Heart’s eyes widened more and he could even feel and hear his heart fluttering. ‘His heartbeat, it is so loud.’ Heart thought while looking at her hand on his chest. ‘But, why?! I don’t understand.’ Heart thought, she was still clueless and speechless about this.

Swati gasped " oh! Aarya." I closed my eyes. I didn't regret a word. Something had died within me and it wasn't just his baby. “I seem cruel, isn’t it. I got a very important lesson. Never follow your heart. It will entangle you in its affairs and by the time you realize it you will be in knots”. Swati said, “God Aarya, I'll kill him if I get my hands on him. I so hate him now”. I replied “Hate is a very strong emotion Swati. I don’t feel anything for him. Our love died along with our baby. Promise me you'll help me forget him."

asked Young Ho coming next to her. “See, recall human anatomy, the heart is located in the chest between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm. It is surrounded by the pericardium which protects it. The centre of heart is located about 1.5 cm to the left of the midsagittal plane that’s why it is more towards left side but I think it is not the case in his condition” said Lily in a robotic tone. “Yeah, but it is more towards left side. See, this area where she staked is the perfect position for staking but he is not dead somehow and I can’t figure out why!!!” said Young Ho in frustration.

whirr Her heart was gone… What was beating in her chest?

Damien said quietly. "It's more than that." My voice cracked, finally, after days of holding it together for board members and lawyers and my father's worried eyes. "It's that I don't know how to be angry at someone for something this big. I don't have a category for it. I just feel — small. Like my whole life got engineered by someone I never even knew existed until a month ago."

Mira closed her eyes and let him hold her, her face pressed against his chest, his heartbeat steady beneath her ear. She didn't say the words. But she felt them—burning in her chest, pressing against her ribs, demanding to be set free. I love you too. God help me, I love you too.
