Parts of the heart are struggling, and parts of the heart are numb forever.

There are millions of thoughts in a young girl when someone catches her hand without her consent,

And these thoughts are not minor ones, these are divergent, never endings just like chaos in a circle.

He never looked back at me.

I have anyhow slipped my hand from his embrace, it was making me nervous like a girl on the ghosted island.

The predicaments, the desires, the obstruction, the kindness are all I have ever lost for a tiny second.

I didn't say anything, and neither did he.

I was following his big steps, noticing him being vulnerable is one thing, and being lost in another. and I have no idea where I fit myself between these. I am at the end shore of the sea looking back at those crippling stars which are hard to find even in the never-ending night.

The weather was not splendid either. And I might be uncertain to confirm what I was observing.

The tense shoulders were dictating to me something outrageous, and I didn't ponder to speak of it.

"Where are we going?" I tried to mumble when I found myself walking for more than half an hour.

"Your father has argued with me to keep you in my company, " these were the only words I heard.

There was a cafe on the left side of the road, he went in its direction, and I followed him back with no choice.

The climate drastically changed again, and the blue sky altered itself into the grey one.

And with millions of thunderstorms, wax
What is he planning to do?

What does he want me to learn here?

There was a round wooden table between us, the old lamps were hanging on the walls along with dim lights.

I was trying to avert my gaze to glance outside through the window.
Small droplets of rain were falling on the dried streets.

And I was occupied in glimpsing outside the window to acknowledge the splendid nature which I have not seen in a long time.

Since was I too involved gawking outside, I have not comprehended when he had made the order.

Two hot cappuccino cups were there along with some sandwiches.

I know it was the time of the morning, and I had not eaten anything. Thus, before he opens up his mouth again to speak, I gently grabbed the hot cup of coffee in the hope to avoid his stern look in the vibrant atmosphere of the cafe.

However, his cold fingertips lightly touched mine, making me more uncomfortable and hard to stare in his direction.

He quickly felt taken back and adjusted his sitting position once again so that our fingers can never be touched again.

I took a sip of coffee with a bite of the sandwich while closing my eyes for a second, as I had not eaten anything for years.

I had no intention of him looking back at me, but he was right there under my nose trying hard to not gape at me, or even if he was doing he was holding back to not be found.

I didn't speak, just the aroma of hot coffee and delicious sandwiches along with marvellous rain was making me get lost over and over again.

He cleared his throat.

And I intended to ignore it.

He cleared his throat once again with more force this time, and I did what was generous for me, I ignored him once again.

"I don't think the rain is going to lower down anytime soon. "

These were his words mixed with anger and stubbornness.

I didn't say anything, I averted my eyes once again.

Outside two-three children were jumping on the street where the droplets of rain were dow pouring on them.

"I am going," I didn't know what came over me, I ran straight out of the cosy place to the open area.

Where the dangling weather was speaking to me in many terms, where the clouds were hovering over the almighty sky, where the billions of drops of rain were squashing the millions of hearts at the same time.

I extended me and made an angle of 180° while looking honestly in the infinite dreamy sky.

Cold droplets fall over me, sizzling the fire within me.

I was lost in the atmosphere when I heard my name get called over and over again.

"Jessica! What the hell are you doing?" I heard Abhimaan's voice, he was near the exit door.

Standing while crossing his arms over his chest.

Why he is acting like my father?

No! He is pretentious than him.

"Can't you see?" I started walking away in the other direction, quite opposite to where he was.

After almost half an hour, I heard footsteps behind me.

"Where are you going?"

I looked back and found him completely drenched in water. His clothes were inked to his skin, and his eyes were like a storm. More than a storm instead.

There was a reasonable distance between us, he was breathing hard, and his chest was moving up and down. As he was running for an hour.

Did he?

"I am doing what I want to execute, what you are doing here?" I counter back at him.

He looked dazzled for a minute but found himself back again.

"Your father gave me your responsibility, and I must accompany you so that you have enough IQ to work!"

He gritted his teeth while rubbing his palms as if he was dying from cold.

Bastard!

I am not going to speak to him in any condition!

The rain stopped falling too and the weather becomes clear again.

I was walking, and he was following me.

What did he even want me to learn?

"You are a lady, you should know how to follow the general etiquette," I heard him say.

"And you are gentleman, aren't you?"

I can't handle him speaking all the rubbish talks that don't make any sense.

"Yes, I am!" He cleared his throat once again and puffed his shoulders more this time with pride.

"Then I am a lady of elegance!"

"With no etiquette on how to behave, you should not call yourself a lady!"

"And you are not even a man enough to know how to speak with a gender opposite to yours!" I argued back at him.

I moved again on the contrary path to him but lost my balance.

The most tremendous moment of my life is just about to occur when I will fall on the street on my face ahead of this conceited man who thinks very precious of himself.

However, somehow I didn't.

I felt his presence around me and in the next moment, his arms were pressed to my waist.

His gloomy eyes were full of arrogance. And his face was as hard as a rock as he had not felt an emotion before, or maybe he is not a human anymore.

"If you have used your brain precisely, you would not be falling again and again,"

His grip on my waist got tightened, his words were like a knife slicing my heart into the parts while his gesture was leading me to something else.

"Let me go," I whispered under my breath.

His eyes became wide for a moment and in the next, he was at a very respectable distance from me. While telling me to follow him so that he can take me to the nearest science museum to fill my empty brain.
