Ch 5(Him)

Lisa cannot see his full face but it felt strange when he passed by her.

That time someone called her to tell that where she is looking at, then only she turned her gaze from that person.

She didn't probe further and turned around to concentrate on the movie.

But for some reason she cannot put off her mind from that person.

She thought if she looked at him again, he might think she is a weirdo.

The rest of the movie was not enjoyed by Lisa.

As she got distracted because of the person in the hood. Sometimes she felt someone was gazing at her. She looked back also but no one was there.

After the movie. Some of them were having some work so they left and the rest of them went on their own way.

Jane and other two girls were still there, they were planning to go to KTV .

Lisa didn't want to stay further or go anywhere else, so she excused herself and left for her home.

It was already half past six in the evening. Lisa was walking beside the road on the sidewalk, the lamp on the street was shining cars were rushing past each other.

All Shop and stores were lit with light , the city was bustling with noises.

Lisa walked till she was near her colony. But suddenly out of the blue rain started to pour heavily.

Not only that but also wind started to blow and the sky was filled with dark clouds.

Lisa thought why always at these place always rain started. She had no option but to hide under the same shade and there it was the shop.

Today it was more eye-catching, it looked like it was attracting Lisa to itself.

She stood there for nearly ten minutes but the rain didn't slow down for a bit also.

It was already dark outside, atleast without thinking Lisa ran towards the shop.

Lisa opened the door of the shop even the handle was old and rusted and seemed like no one had touched it for years.

She pushed the door open and a creaking sound was heard.

The moment Lisa entered the shop a sweet aroma entered her nose it made her slightly dizzy

Then it hit her that it was a library, it was not very spacious but clean and designer and there was a small counter at the corner and only four to five chairs and two tables were there.

No one was there so lisa thought it was weird.

There was a lilac flower embroided on the carpet in the floor, it gave a special feeling.

There was a small Chandelier  hanging on the celling. At the top of the celling there were many drawings, which lisa couldn't understand.

Lisa was so immersed in looking around she forgot that she was still slightly wet.

Lisa sneezed lightly covering her nose and mouth with her hand.

She took out her handkerchief from her purse and cleaned her face. She thought to stay here little bit till the rain slow down.

She sat near the window on a chair and kept her bag on the table.

She thought when the owner would come and how some one can keep their shop open like it.

Lisa roamed around the place and there were many books she never heard of .

The shop was filled with some ancient things , like there was a box kept in a rack and it had many symbols on it .

She stopped at a rack of books and swept her eyes up and down, then a book covered in blue covering caught her eyes the name of the book was written in golden thread.

It was on the third rack ,so she tried her best to grab the book but it seemed impossible, at that exact moment a hand came from behind her and took the book which lisa was trying to get .

The hands were jade white and huge, most probably of a man with veins protruding out and there was a black with a unknown flower bracelet on his hand.

Then it handed the book to her she took a few seconds to react and then she took the book from the person she slowly looked up to see no one was there getting shocked she turned her head back to see a man standing there .

He was half a head taller than her and seemed her age only he had jet black hair with two big eyes which felt like magical, he had a sharp nose and pale thin lips .

It was an unfamiliar yet handsome face. His soft black hair cannot hide his eyes. His eyes are still,warm and deep-set.

The light casts a shadow under his nose. His thin lips are pressed against each other. His facial features are exceptional, but you cannot neglect his quiet temperament like the deepest end of the sea.

He was wearing a black oversized shirt with grey colour trousers. It was simple dress but still he looked attractive. He had a stiff expression on his face.

How did he knew she was trying to get that book. He didn't told anything and strode from there and sat in the shop's counter.She was going to ask him about the shop owner but atlast didn't.

Then it hit her that most probably he was the owner Lisa thought. She didn't mind much and took the book and sat on the chair.

It was deadly quiet inside the library only rain sound could be heard.

It was past six and at that time her cell phone buzzed ,she checked the caller id to see that her parents were calling her.

She didn't tell that she hadn't reached home or else they would be worried. So she just texted that she is at a friend's house.

The weather cooled down naturally. The book lisa was reading was about some spells and prophecy and there were even some things written in different language which the Google also didn't gave any result.

And Lisa was very interested to know what these things written are. She thought to borrow the book.

Then she remembered there was also a person present inside these shop. She looked at his sight to see , he was casually sitting on a chair and flipping the pages of a book.

She clutched the book and went towards the counter. Before she could tell anything the other person had already spoke

"you are not allowed to borrow the books"

it was a low magnetic voice. Lisa was dumb stuck, how does he even
knew that she wanted to borrow the book.

She felt weird about that but just said

"okay"

and turned on her heels to get her bag before she left. She had already took some pictures of the pages in the book, it would help her as she cannot take it home.

She kept the book where it was, though it was hard but atlast she managed to keep it .

Then slowly she exited the shop before taking one more glance at that person.

He was still immersed in reading something. She felt that he has some aura in him that is different from other persons.
