Authors POV :

"You're here again" - the librarian said acting annoyed to Aleena.

"As if i want to be here. If you just sell this beautiful place to me , you won't see my face everyday" , Aleena said and sat on her usual place with her fav book.

Tulip library is a famous book store of its theme wherein a flower slash book store in the middle of the city. That's why it is popular.

Aleena will come to this cafe without fail. She loves to have her free time or you can say peaceful Me time.

Sam( the librarian and a friend of Aleena ) sat beside her and stared at the window.

"Uhm , aleena i want to say something to you" - Sam hesitated

Aleena nodded her head indicating him to say whatever he wanted without hesitation.

"War-"

"Stop right there , Sam. I don't want to talk about that" - She mumbled while focusing on her book.

"Sorry" said Sam and looked over her. But she didn't say anything. So he took his leave with his head hung low.

Aleena looked through her corner of eyes watching sam go. She slammed her head on the book and started to sob slowly without any voice.

She started to go through that memory of their first meeting.

FIRST MEET :

Aleena was running so fastly with tulip in her hands and carrying a bag with lot's of books.

"Gotta go fast or else someone will take my favourite seat" - she mumbled to herself.

She dodged everything that came in her way and even kicked some stones too. Everyone laughed at her silliness. They were used to it. The goofy side of aleena was something famous in that street.

Finally , she reached the bookstore and greeted everyone out their with her charming smile.

After saying a small hello to sam , she headed towards her place. But her smile dimmed out. In that place , already someone was sitting with a book.

"Oh no , this is all my fault. I should've came faster without eating those damn cookies" - she mumbled to herself.

The boy heard some voice coming in front of him and raised his head up to stop from blinking.

Aleena to stopped her mumbling and look into that oceanic eyes with so much calmness and serenity. The eyes were telling her to drown in me and i will catch you effortlessly.

Out of shyness , she broke the eye contact of them. She tucked her hair and looked over for some place to sit. Our aleena was blushing mess. So , she is diverting her attention.

"You can sit here. There is a place for one " - the boy spoke gently.

'dang , that voice which can melt everything in this world ' - she thought to herself. She can't make a fool out of herself. So she sat their comfortably and grabbed her book.

She placed those tulips beside her and started to read without looking at that boy who is making her life heaven.

Calmness surrounded them. Both were focused on reading books without giving a care to the world. They both found heaven in the book store and lost in the pages.

The boy stopped his gaze at her for a second. Admiring her presence and the way her reactions are going on every pages or lines.

"Stop staring at me and read your book " - aleena mumbled shyly.

The boy broke his gaze and said " You read books , i read people "

"What do you mean ? So you can read people "

"Yes i can read people"

Aleena opened her mouth to say something but before that he spoke -

"In love" - and began to laugh after seeing her reaction.

"Gosh , i belived you for a second "

"HAHAHA.. I'm sorry your face was something else "

" Stop laughing you idiot . You're such a -"

" Handsome. I know right "

"Nope a ugly duck "

"Whatever. What's your name darling ? "

"Don't call me darling. My name is Aleena Fernandez "

"Wow that's a beautiful name to a beautiful lady like you "

Aleena blushed like a fool. She tapped her cheeks and started to change topic.

"What's your name ? "

"My name -"

*ring ring*

"Uhm sorry. I have to take this" - he said and went outside to take a call.

Aleena saw him from window. She can say he was in a hurry after that call.

But he came inside,took all his belongings.
he looked at her and smiled before saying -

"Aaron warner darling"
