Moon Or Stars?

Too Good To Be Real

" One last question, will you still fall for him if he comes back for you?" He asked.

" No." I said firmly.

He just nodded.

"I'm sorry. I ruined your long drive. " I said apologetically.

He cupped my face, wiped my moist cheeks and said, " Hey ! Don't be sorry."

"Do you really like me ?" I asked.

" I may sound crazy. But I've fallen head over heels for you, Payal Nanda, it wasn't since the day you fell in my arms , it was the day I saw you at a charity event. " he said.

" Which charity event ?" I asked.

" It was like two years ago. I saw you at this orphanage , you were playing with those kids and your eyes glittered , brighter than the brightest star , I haven't fallen for your looks or your money or family. You have this enticingly intriguingly aura that has crushed my heart."

" Last time I checked , this is real life. You're like the most awesome-st cheesy person I've ever met. You're too good to be real. " I smiled and said.

"Hey ! Wanna devour on some tasty ice cream? " he asked.

" Yep. What time is it? ? We even have to go to dance practice! " I reminded him.

" It's three thirty . We still have time. Practice doesn't start till seven. " he said.

I nodded.

We got up and went to his car.

"Hey Sid ! Can I drive this time ? You could like catch a nap maybe ?" I offered.

" No , I'm fine. You take a nap. I'll drive. "

I went close to him. His forehead touched mine, I gently kissed his supple lips.

"Thank you soo much for listening to me. I feel I little less burdened now." I said.

" I'm here for you forever and always. " he said .

" Can I please drive ??" I gave him my puppy eyed look.

" Okay. " he said and nodded.

I ignited the engine and swerved the car around and headed on the fast lane.

I was humming my ever favorite Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea ' s song Problem.

" Hey ! You can sleep. I won't crash your prisey car." I reassured him.

" I'm not afraid of you crashing the car. I'm afraid I'll miss out your mesmerizing voice. " he said.

" You're soo sweet. I swear to god ! I'll get diabetes now ! You're too good to be real , Sid , too good " I smiled and said.

That's when Siddarth's phone started buzzing.

He answered and said, " Hello. "

" Sure " & "Done."

After he ended the call, I asked, "What happened? "

"Jai asked me to receive, Zeus, some person Daisy knows ,but I've never heard of him before ,  he's coming  here in two night." He said.

" Oh. Where is he going to stay ?" I asked .

" At my place. "

" Okay. Listen Sid, I'm feeling a bit tired, you can take over from here. " I said.

We exchanged seats and then he started driving in full speed.

"I'm not a good driver as you are. " I confessed.

" No, you drive fine, your speed is just a bit slower than mine." He said

" Have you dated someone else before you realized that you started falling for me? " I asked.

" Yep, but that was just like a sweet crush kinda fling , she got married two years ago. " he said.

" Oh. ."

I saw the passing trees through the window.

The sky looked a new.

The air felt more fresh.

I don't know when, I just fell asleep.

But the feeling in my heart was lightening, I felt like a drifting dandelion which was once driven by the wind but now had an admirer.

All the bottled up feelings that I let go off made me feel light as a feather.

I never realized that loosing a person could change me soo much.

Now I know, I may have lost Arman, but I found myself.

I found that either the real world could drive you insane , it could beat you down for being the vulnerable , but there are people , one in a million , trillion or whatever ,  everywhere in this world who are meant for you , and I guess, Sid , is my one in a million.  

About Arman, well I don't know where he is ,  let alone what he's doing, I don't even know if he's dead or alive.

I just hope wherever he is, he still remembers me, I hope there's a small, tieny tiny part of his heart that still remembers who I am and the moments we shared.
