"I wish there were someone to help me solve this. Ughhh!" I exclaimed gripping my hair. I was stressed with my studies, I had exam approaching but wasn't prepared. So, I thought of studying alone in an abandoned library to stay focused.

Turning the page, as my eyes fell on those numbers in the maths book I started loosing my shit. I was never a good student in maths, thats what made my life even harder.

"Gosh! How do i do this!?" Frustrated voice came out of my mouth.
"I think I can help you." A voice echoed the empty hall. No figure but just a voice. At this point, i would take help from even a ghost, it did not matter.
"Please." I replied while my eyes searched the hall to find the entity with whom I was talking. Suddenly, I could feel a presence of someone, someone who sat beside me. Even though I coudn't see him, yet I could tell that he is a handsome gentleman. I could smell a sweet flavor of vanilla which I was sure coming from the entity.

My book slided towards him by itself. He was seeing at the questions and equations, turning pages.
"So, which one are you finding problem to solve?" The voice asked.
I pointed which I found hard to solve. No sooner, he started to explain me those. But I was just mesmerized by his voice. His dulcet voice echoing the big hall, felt nothing but like a dream.

I stared at him even I couldn't see him. I could feel something happening to me, its strange. I never had such feeling. I didn't know why but I was attracted to him.
"Excuse me, miss. Seems like you are lost somewhere"
"In you." I replied without my knowledge.
"What?"
"Ah- I mean- I was focused on what you are teaching" I stuttered as I realised what I had said. I could hear a soft giggle. My cheeks turned red and I could feel some butterflies. I chuckled too.

"I imagine how you look!" I sighed, taking my views on the table. "This is how I look, Ma'am." He replied.
I was dumbstrucked for a moment. He made himself visible, and he looked unreal. He had sapphire eyes which made him even more beautiful. His skin was cold-white, but he still looked ethereal. He wore a old British outfit. "Were you some kind of prince?" I asked because he seemed like one. "No, my dear." He smiled.

We were talking and chatting but got interrupted by my phone. My phone started to ring. I saw the caller ID,  it was my mother. Well, step mother. "Hey bitch! Why aren't you home? Do you even know what time it is!?" Her angry voice fell like it was coming through my phone at anytime. Oh the time, whats it? I realized it was past midnight. "Sorry mom, I will be home soon. Sorry. And don't worry." I apologized and hanged up the call.

"Sorry, I have to go-" I turned my head around but found none. My heart ached a bit.

The book was closed and a piece of paper was kept on it. "𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰𝘰." was written on it.
"I will." I sighed with a smile.

[The next day....]

"𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘮𝘣 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥. 𝘈𝘵 4.38 𝘈𝘔, 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺."
My eyes fell on the TV news.

"What-"

"Yes dear, the old library is no more!" My dad sighed lowing his head.

"A letter in a piece of paper was found in the 302 section of the library written '𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳.' We don't know who might have written this and to whom in this abandoned place." The news channel showed a letter. "Its- its his handwritin- what does he mean by this!?" I was confused. Without wasting a second, I rushed at the spot.

Found my myself standing at the mess of the ruined place. I fell on my knees, tears made their way through my cheeks. I cried remembering the man I met last night, that I might not be able to see him again.

At the distance, I saw a man standing. "You.." I realised it was him. I ran towards him but was stopped by the workers. I was trying my best to reach him but he walked away smiling and waving at me. I could do nothing else but cry my heart out. "I will miss you forever!!" I cried out.
