I woke up to a sun shining brightly and sparkling its rays right onto my face. I smiled, as I remembered the dream, where I was about to lift the writer's hoodie, but I couldn't because of the sun.

'The sun is the constant troublemaker.' I humped, as I got out of my bed and entered my bathroom.

I came out after a quick shower and glanced all around, taking brief note of everything, as if something was missing.

My eyes landed upon the calendar, which had crosses, because I had been crossing out date by date, so that I could, keep a track of dates. I, still in my bathing gown, went near the calendar, picked up the marker, and crossed out the last date. I don't know, when were we going to meet.

Oh My God!! The Last Date?

That means it was today, our meet, it was today.

I practically jumped all the way up and down, when the realization finally happened to hit me. I got off the bed and glanced in the mirror.

'We are going to meet, today Mr. Writer. Are you ready? I am going to tell you everything that I feel for you. We will meet at a beautiful place and spend time together.

Wait!!! How are we going to meet? He had not sent me any notice of our meet, with no details.

I was now excited, but stressfully. I want to meet him, now where is the note? I think I should go check outside, on my doorstep.

Mind – 'Are you going like this? Wear some clothes.'

Heart – 'I didn't know I'd ever say this, I agree with the mind, girl go wear some clothes.'

Well, then I change quickly and more like haphazardly and rush to my main door.

I unlock it and then, a silver note catches my eye., that has a bunch of roses and chocolates sitting beside it. I pick it up and rush inside, locking the door. I sit on my sofa, which happens to be nearer, every time I get a letter or a note and I impatiently unfold the note.

Hey Pretty Girl,

As I write this to you, I hope you are wonderful, as always. I was thinking, to surprise you, since you love surprises, so here we go. Today, I will not provide any details of our meet. You only have to follow, some simple instructions.

1) Get ready by 5 pm.

2) Grab your essentials and please, do not forget to lock the door.

3) You will have to get into the black Mercedes waiting for you downstairs.

4) In Mercedes, you will meet Lilly. She is my assistant, and so will be yours for the day.

5) You will not be allowed to ask any questions, not even to the driver, let alone Lilly.

6) You will be blindfolded since it is a surprise.

7) Trust me, nothing wrong will happen

I am sending a bunch of roses and some chocolates. I hope you like them.

We will meet soon.

Yours' forever,

Mysterious writer

I gasped at the length of the note, too big to be classified as a note and too short to be classified as a letter.

This guy has my heart, he knows me so well. He knows I like surprising people and the way he called me 'pretty lady', got me jitters. He also didn't forget to mention his concern for my safety, when he advised me or maybe begged me to lock my door. He definitely couldn't hurt me and I did trust him.

I smiled at the bunch of roses and chocolates in my hand and quietly placed the roses in the vase, and the chocolates in my fridge.

The rest of the afternoon was spent in nervousness and excitement. I was so happy and elated that I couldn't think of one single thing, all I could do was lazily sit on my couch and dream about things. I decided, I needed to calm my inner self down and without wasting a minute, I put myself to sleep.

I woke up to my alarm buzzing off, and I slowly opened my eyes, one by one. I looked at the time and realized I was late.

Gooooddd!!!! Why me? Why am I always late?

God – 'Because you lack time management skills'

Mind – 'hahaha!!! Gotcha!!'

Heart – 'I am nervous.'

I sigh and decide to quickly change and head downstairs. I get into my dress and just do my eyeliners, and lip balm. Since I adore eye makeup, and a bit of clear lip balm never hurts. I put on my heels and keep my hair open. I don't know if any of you can relate to it or not, but I love keeping my hair open, since childhood, I have always believed how beautiful I look in my hair open, compared to them tied.

I lock my door and out of excitement, ignoring every other thing, I mistakenly bump into Mrs. Smith. "Going to the black Mercedes downstairs? Go, best of luck!!", she says and begins ascending the stairs.

I stay there frozen, for another minute and then I glance up through the gap and yell, "you shouldn't be reading letters, meant for someone else", I said it, not arrogantly, but loud enough for her to hear. Minutes later, I heard her yelling back, "Who said I read? I didn't." and continued with her climbing.

What a liar!!

Ignoring her I descend the stairs and find myself awing at the beauty right in front of my eyes.

This is it!!

This is the black Mercedes.

I walk forward and the driver opens the door for me as if he recognized me. I merrily sat in and found a girl in her twenties, sitting beside me, which I assumed to be Lilly.

"Hi there, I am...", I began but she doesn't let me finish. "Hi ma'am, I know you are Kayna Malhotra. I am really sorry to inform you that I will not be able to entertain a conversation with you since this is purely a surprise, I might end up providing clues. So, I am asked to keep quiet. I am just here to blindfold you and so that you feel comfortable", she says, a lot more professionally, than I expected. I smile at her and stare out of the window of the car.

We sit in the car for about fifteen minutes, until Lilly gets a message, probably notifying her, that, things are ready and without wasting a minute, she blindfolds me.

I am currently standing on something that feels soft for a ground, blindfolded. All I can see around me is darkness. It is not something I hate, but something I don't prefer to be in since I am all chirpy, I like being in the light, except, only if a place is full of people, it suffocates and I cannot stand that.

All I can hear are people around me shushing others and trying to make the place comfortable, I want to take off my blindfold, since my heart is not in its senses, but I control myself and prevent myself from doing any such things.

I feel my breath rising, as Lilly walks towards me and leans in whispering, "it is time for me to take off your blindfold. Give me a minute." She quickly takes off my blindfold and as soon as, I look at the person standing in front of me, I feel everything going numb and lifeless, I feel my throat drying and my eyes already filled with water.

All I manage to utter is, "K...Kr...Kri".
