Blood And Blossoms

Chapter XI

Flash back:
On 24/03/23
Two young boys were sitting in The Library Cafe having their coffee, while one of them said:
"You need any book?"
"Yes. The silent patient"
"Ok you wait here, I'll get it for you."
"Okay. I wasn't even going to come. I need to finish my coffee"
"Aalsi"
"Sangat ka asar"

Meanwhile, on the other table,
"You sit here, I'll check if they have The silent patient. I want it so badly."
"Suree"
The girl that got up was so pretty. Her almond-hazel brown eyes, her silky black hair, her elegance, her angelic smile, the kindness in her tone and her voice. Everything about her was so perfect. As if God just took a piece of puzzle amd placed it properly.
That girl came near the boy with the book. He guessed she needed the book, but he didn't bothered much to ask her or even to look at her. He took the book and went away.
But HE , the other one with coffee was in love with her. The moment he saw her, he knew that she is it!
"I usually don't get much attracted to girls, but look at her! Something about her is different. Something that is attracting me to her. As if I was an incomplete piece of art which she completes. Uski hasi uski adaayein jaanleva hai. She'll be death of mine someday."
And she was! SHE was the reason HE is DEAD.

Back to present:
"Ishi I guess I'm falling in love with him.
I don't know how? Why? When? But I am not rude like usual in front of him. I become vulnerable when he's is front. Like I'm a touch-me-not plant and when he touches me, I completely give it. Though we haven't spent much time together, but I want to! I want to spend every second of mine with him. When he is present, I don't want him to leave, when is not, I want him to come. Is this what love is?"
"Oh my God! Is this for real? Ms. Anaya Banerjee, 'greater than the great wall of China' is in lovee! Look at you Anaya... you are blushing so hard. I can match the darkest shade of red in my wardrobe with your cheek colour. I never saw you this happy."
"Because I never felt this happy. It's only one month since we met, but I feel like it's some old connection. Do you think it's too early for me to feel like this?"
"Pyaar agar soch samjhke kiye jaane wala kaam hota to Anarkali kabhi Salim se pyaar hi naa karti"
"Matlab me bhi deewar me chunwa di jaaungi?"
"Dufferr! I am sooo happy for you. Do Parth know about this?"
"No. Not yet. Let me confirm it for myself first."
"What confirmation do you need now?"
"I need time to accept it for myself. And to know that whether it's one sided?"
"It's not!"
"Jyotish Ishika Baba ki jayy!"

Anaya's cheeks were hurting after smiling so hard. How is it possible for someone to fall in love so quickly and so deeply? It had only been a month. And she wasn't even accepting their friendship. And look at her now! Looks like every cell of her body is screaming 'I love Ayaan'. Her tough barrier is breaking.

But she is THE KILLER. Ayaan doesn't know about it, do he? No one can figure out looking at her that she has the ability to kill someone. She can't be the killer.

They are falling in love with each other. But something is stopping them. Anaya never felt this lively, nor did Ayaan felt such inclinations towards anyone.

And the mysteries are yet to be unfold. An earthquake is going to erupt under the calm ocean and tsunami is going to wash their love off. Or maybe they will pass the test of time.

To know what mysteries are kept underground and to know the fate of Ayaan and Anaya, keep reading!

Hey readers, this is a small chapter but great mysteries have started getting unfolded. And there's so much more to come.

Sorry for the delay and the short chapters, but it's because of my exams that are near. Stay tuned!
