PEARL'S P. O. V

"Sherhoey, you must be having important works at office. I'll be there for around 2 hours, You shouldn't waste your time. Just visit your grandpa and go to your office." I urged him almost hundredth time.

This man is not getting it! We're presently in his black SUV, arguing on the matter that he should attend his meeting which is very important according to his secretary but he is adamant on ignoring it. I don't know why he is being so difficult.

His secretary is calling him continuously but this arrogant man won't budge at all. He is just dismissing the call.

"Angel, I'm not leaving you alone. No way! The meeting is not that important. Nothing is more important than you." he replied casually, refusing to listen to any of my urges.

Hell now!

"Sherhoey, I'm not going to di-" I stopped abruptly when I saw him gripping the steering wheel so tightly, making his knuckles go white.

Oops!! I shouldn't have said die. Dammit!

"- I mean Sherhoey I'll be fine...see I'm perfectly okay. Please attend the meeting ." I quickly corrected myself.

"Nope. Angel, you are sick and I'm not going anywhere. That's it." He again refused.

This man!

"Sherhoey, I can't live with you always. I've to head back anyways. And I'm thinking of returning home today. You too better go office, okay?" I spoke slowly and soft so he would agree with me.

I didn't planed to drop this bomb on him but he was being so stubborn and difficult. We just know each other for barely few hours. I can't live with him. Plus, it's very inappropriate. I remember my determination to distance myself from him. I don't want to continue it this way. Already, I've done enough to give him wrong hints. There is no need to add to it.

He is a very good person. A gentleman too. He took care of me. He behaved properly and I really appreciate him for all that. But how could I continue living with him? I don't want to become more of a burden then I'm already till now. He have done more than enough. Now it's time to head back.

I'm glad to have him as my friend though. No matter what I'll continue being friends with him because I know he is very lonely. But maintaining the proper distance as well.

The car suddenly stopped jerking me away from my thoughts. I looked at him and I saw he had stopped the car all of a sudden. He clicked his seatbelt and turned towards me. I gazed at his crystal blue eyes and all I could see was hurt and pain in those bright orbs of his.

Crap! I always hurt him. :/

He leaned towards me and undid my seatbelt too. He then, cupped my cheeks and placed a kiss on my temple,making my eyes flutter close. It was a long kiss, as his lips were pressed against my forehead for more than necessary. I felt his lips quivering.

I slowly opened my eyes and he moved away a bit to look into my eyes again.

"Angel, my angel....Please, don't leave me. I need you." he choked out. His voice cracked a bit, making my heart clench.

This man is so lonely. How could I leave him like this?

But I can't live with him forever. Maybe a few days? Yes! Just few days. I'll comfort him and then I'll head back.

'What happened to your determination, Pearl? ' my subconscious mocked.

'Few days won't hurt beside he needs a friend.' I replied quickly but I was myself unsure of my answer.

I took his hand in mine, clasping them in between my tiny palms and smiled.

"Sherhoey, I'm not going anywhere. Okay?" I spoke gently, trying to comfort him. He nodded like a cute little boy. His dull eyes twinkled with spark.

Oh my! I'll do whatever in my power to make him happy.

"Promise me, angel." he asked.

Promise?! Can I?

One look of his eyes and my mouth was on its own.
"Promise, Sherhoey. " I promised.

I don't know why his blue orbs always comforts me. All my hesitations, doubts, insecurities evaporate by just one look of his mesmerizing eyes. His eyes provides me a sense of security, protection. I just give into his all wishes. It's like I'm under a spell. Even if I want to protest, all my protests dies in my throat.

I don't know what are these feelings. I've never felt like this with anyone. He makes me feel as if I'm very precious. I know him barely yet I'm so comfortable around him. His eyes are so expressive... I can read his heart by his eyes. His every emotion reflects in his eyes.

I'm still confused. Why can't I see him sad? Why I get upset to see him vulnerable? Why my heart wants to comfort him? Why do I feel bad when I see hurt in his eyes? Why does it hurt to think that I'm just his friend? Why I love his concern? Why I feel happy around him? Why can't I just leave him and go? Why does my heart beats rises when he calls me angel? Why- wait....

Am I going insane?

Is it normal? Does it happen with everyone? Or it's only me?

He pressed his forehead against mine. His eyes were shut. It looked like he was afraid to open his eyes like its all a dream which will get over once he opens his eyes. Like, he doesn't wants this moment to be over.

"Sherhoey." I called him while running my hands through his hair.

"Listen to me." I said softly, urging him to open his eyes and he obliged. His features softened when his eyes connected with mine.

"Yes, angel?" he enquired.

"You drop me at the hospital and go to attend the meeting. Meanwhile, I'll check your grandpa. After finishing your meeting you can come back to pick me up and also you can visit your grandpa." I suggested.

He appeared to be debating with himself in his mind whether to give in or not. So I added,
"Please, Sherhoey. Don't miss the meeting." I request while giving him the best puppy face I could muster.

"Okay." he sighed. "Only for you." he agreed.

Thanks heavens!

"Thanks." I mumbled, happily.

"Angel, I'll be back in two hours, okay?" he informed.

"Okay." I mumbled, smiling.

He started the car and drove towards the hospital. Soon we reached the there.

I was about to hop out of the car but Sherhoey came towards my side and opened the door for me. I smiled.

Typical gentleman!

He stretched out his hand and I took it without any hesitation. He pecked me on my right cheeks.

"My angel, please take care. Don't overstrech yourself. Be careful. Don't -" he started rambling so I pecked him on his cheek to shut him. He cares so very much.

"I'll be okay, sir." I smiled. He still seemed to be in a daze with my peck but he nodded.

"Take care, Sherhoey. Bye." I said, urging him to leave or he'll be late.
" And goodluck for the meeting. I'm sure you will get the contract." I added.

"Of course, angel. My lucky charm is there with me today." he said, making me blush.

"Okay go now or you will get late." I pushed him towards the car, trying to hide my red cheeks.

"See you, angel. Biee." he said amd drove away. I waved at him and smiled to myself.

He is indeed something!

I turned towards the gate only to find my best friend Embre standing there with her hands on her hips, eyebrows raised.
Now I know I couldn't get away without giving her answers. I'm trapped.

"Morning, Embre." I greeted her, waking towards her.

"Do not morning me, Pearl! Where were you yesterday? I searched the whole frèaking 'miracle exists' thrice and you were no where!" she bursted out.

"Calm down Embre. I-I was with my friend." I said.

"Friend? I see... Your friend Sherhoey Silvervans!!!? Pearl, don't tell me you're dating him without informing me. Did you slept with him? Are you pregnant? Are you getting married? Oh gosh! Let me tell you one thing I'll be the maid of honor and the god mother and-"

"EMBRE!!!" I shouted to stop her blabberings. This girl isn't human. She is an animal trapped in the body of a human. Her imagination went to my children!! Damn how impossible this girl could become!?

"He is only a good friend, okay?" I said to her while brushing past her to enter the hospital. She followed me silently. I went to Mr. Silvervans cabin to check him.

"Details!" she demanded sternly.

No way she will let me go without getting the complete explanation of all the events of yesterday. I started filling her the with all the details. She was very quite the whole time. Much to my surprise, she didn't interrupted once. At times I thought that she fainted but no she was very attentive and focused.

"...So that's how it went, okay?" I finished my story.

"Wow...."she muttered, still in daze.
"Pearl, that means the devilishly handsome, tall, muscular, hotshot, rich, arrogant, ruthless, cold hearted, scary ----- THE SHERHOEY SILVERVANS is a mother hen!?"

"Mother hen?" I repeated and laughed very hard.
That's a very funny description of him! Oh Jesus Sherhoey -the mother hen!?!?

"I mean he is so caring and sweet. I knew that he was not a beast or monster, as the people claim him to be. Everyone has a strong reason for the way they are." she said, joining my giggles.

"Yeah, he must have a reason behind the cold look. We can't judge a book by its cover." I agreed with her.

That's why she is my friend. She can be a chatterbox but she can also be an amazing friend when required. I really like the quality of her that she never judges anyone. She is quite bubbly, spreading happiness with her presence.

"I bet Pearl he loves you." she added cheekily. My eyes went as wide as saucers.

Loves me? No way!!!

"What!?" I asked still shocked from her previous comments. How can she say that when she has not even seen us?
She is crazy!

"Don't what me. Even a fool can say that he loves you. The way you described him proves that he cares for you more than a friend. It's crystal clear, Pearl." she said giving me a I-know-everything-don't-you-dare-argue-with-me look. I sighed.

Everyone in my life is stubborn except me. First Sherhoey then this Embre. Will I ever win over this two?!

"you are thinking too much Embre " I said rolling my eyes. Embre can be a dangerous day dreamer. Good lord!!

"Wanna find out?? "She asked. I can see the evil glint in her eyes. She is definitely upto something.

"Embre what are upto? Don't thi-"I started but Embre is Embre.

"Oh just shut up Pearl. Isn't he coming to pick you?? "

"Yes. Why? "I asked her. Now I'm worried of what is going in her smart head.

"When? "She questions back completely ignoring mine one. This girl never listens to anyone.

"In an hour. Embre what the hell are you upto? Let me tell you one thing I'm not a part, Okay? "

"Don't worry sweetie, You just have to keep shut and agree. That's it" she said. Now I'm scared.

What the hell is going on dude?

"No, Embre." I said sternly.

"Aren't you my friend? " she blackmailed me. God!! How could I deny that one. She had hit the nerve.

"Embre that's not fair." I complained.
"Great you agreed! "she said excitedly while hugging me tightly.

Oh my Embre what are you upto?

After an hour....

I kept reviewing my patient's files and I barely noticed how fastly the hour flew by. Whole time Embre kept on pacing back and forth. She just keeps on behaving like a stubborn excited kid. I noticed her glancing the clock after every two minutes.

She is a creature of venus!

"So the hour is almost finished. He must be coming, right? "she asked and I nodded. I hope she doesn't make some bullshit out of it.
She gets to the window and peeks outside. After two minutes or so she squealed and came back to me jumping. Sometimes she definitely proves that are ancestors are monkeys.

"Embre?? " I asked and she stopped her chimpanzee dance.

"Pearl, he is coming over here. You have to talk to me. No, I mean just agree with me pretending that he isn't present, Okay." she explained. Damn she is so adamant.

God knows where this will end up.

"Embre, what exactly are you planning? "I asked her but she pushed me to my desk and made me sit on my chair while she seated herself opposite to me.

"Pearl, shut the hell and act!!" she scolded me.
I nodded. Let's hope for the worst. I heard the door knob twisting and Embre nodded.

Here we go.......

"Pearl,You definitely need a heart transplant. You are ignoring it. For god's it ill lead you to death." She all of a sudden. I know she is acting but what the fuck!! Since when do I need a heart transplant? For shit's sake I'm myself a cardiologist.

What 's she is planning dude?

I was very shocked so I remained quiet but she glared at me. I looked from the corner of my eyes that Sherhoey was standing there frozen. His face pale. He was breathing heavily as if he is finding it difficult to breathe. WTH!! She is really an animal. She kicked me from under the table and than I knew I've to say something or else my friendship is gone. But I'm very worried for him.

"Embre. I.. I.. "shuttered as I don't know what to say.

"Shut up Pearl. You only have few days left. You are rejecting the donors too.... May I know why? Because you don't anyone to sacrifice for you. But you can't do this to us, Pearl." she started crying. Wow... Just great!! She is an excellent actor. Now fake crying. Next what?? I bet the professionals will be ashamed.

"Pearl. "my eyes snapped to Sherhoey when he called my name. He was clutching the door to support himself. His eyes were glossy. His expression was as if he is being tortured mercilessly. He was looking like he has been bearing impossible amount of pain.

"Mr. Silvervans -" Embre started.

"Get the hell out." he barked.

Well.. Great! What have I gotten myself into?

I glared at Embre and she just passed a weak smile while leaving me alone with him. She left my cabin slowly and I swallowed a big lump.

Now I'm scared... No I'm terrified beyond anything. What will he do now?

Embre.. I'll kill you!! Just meet me once and then you are dead.... Just dead.

How am I going to handle this situation!? He looks -

SAD?

HURT?

MAD?

FURIOUS?

Heck I don't know! God fir heavens sake I'm your child na please save me from this.

EMBRE!! YOU BITCH!

I cursed her in my mind endlessly.

"This can't be happening....that's not true. " Sherhoey was mumbling under his breath.

Jesus! Save me!

"Sherhoey?" I called him softly as I was unsure whether the next moment he will lash out at me. I kept praying in my mind.

Help me! Damn!

"No. " he shouted. "This is not real... It can't be."

I kept my hand on his shoulder.

"Sherh-" he jerked up and grabbed my hand and took me out of my cabin. I must say even when he was so overwhelmed with emotions still he didn't hurt me once. His grip was firm yet not strong enough to hurt me.

He marched towards his car, dragging me along with him. I'm really scared.
Different possible as well as impossible scenarios crossed my mind, making my heart go all crazy.

What's going in his mind? How will he react now?

He hasn't faced me yet so I don't have any idea what the hell is about to come.

Good lord! Now what??

Embre has pushed me into hell! Damn her now! How am I going to explain him that I'm alright? Will he understand that it was a dumb plan of Embre? He cares for me so much now it'll take a hell to make him understand that it wasn't true... It was a frèaking bullshit prank of Embre- the gorilla.

Oh god! I'm officially screwed!

Finally we reached his car and opened the door. I sat inside and he went to the other side. He drove off without another word!

'Goodluck, Pearl.' my innerone wished. I could sense the hidden sarcasm.

Great! Now only she has to reappear, don't she? Doesn't she thinks that I'm already having enough? But, no! She will add up! I'm so dead now. Mercy Mercy! I chanted in my head.

I looked from my peripheral vision, and saw Sherhoey giving me an emotionless, blank look.

Well.. Holy mother of hell!

........................................................................

Important note!

Don't skip this...

Don't judge the book yet. Even if you think that things are going on too smoothly then believe me it's the silence before the actual storm.

It will not be a fairytale where there will be no hurdles.. There will be but this is just not the correct time. How will they face the world, if they are not sure about their feelings? Trust me, the power of love is the greatest weapon to fight against evils. They need to trust each other and have to understand each other, then only they can overcome the cruel devils.
It isn't necessary that there will be problems just as they met, right?

They will surely have their own struggles.. Which they will face together. So if you are judging me and my book and thinking that everything will be good then you are wrong. Just because they have a happy start that doesn't means that there are not some twisted minded people to ruin it. It's not necessary that we will fall in love by passing some painful experience only. Love just happens. Anytime. Anyone. Without any reason. Without any self control. It's a feeling that you and me can't control.

There can be long time love or first sight love. Both are love only, their intensity is based on the feelings not on the time they have known each other. So if you think that how come Sherhoey fell for Pearl at the first sight for her and it's not possible and all, then you don't know how the spell of love works. It only takes a single moment for love. If we had control to choose who to love, then we could have. But unfortunately heart has it own eyes and brains. So it doesn't work in our way.
