Our Designed Love

CHAPTER-29

SHYLA

I increased my pace as I walked through the corridor of the University to reach Mrs.Rodriguez's cabin. As I was walking, I could feel a gust of wind embracing me perfectly into its whirl. Since the past few days, New York has been drenched by rain. So as the wind, which always follows after a heavy shower. As I walked ahead, I saw Emerson, one of my classmates walking towards me with a wide smile on her face. She is the one to always make your day better by her cheerful personality.

"Good Morning Shyla!" She said as she stopped in front of me.

"Morning Emerson." I said as I gladly returned the smile to her.

"I heard that you are the one selected to give the fall designs to one of the designing companies!" She said and her tone of excitement could clearly be heard by me.

"Yes! I hope they just like the designs I made." I said with a little chuckle as she smiled wider and nodded her head.

"Ok then! Meet you at lunch. I have to go now." She said as I nodded and walked ahead while bidding her goodbye.

As I reached near Mrs. Rodriguez's cabin, I knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard her voice from inside as I slowly opened the door and walked inside.

As I stepped inside my eyes fell on the figure who sat there on the couch which was just beside Mrs.Rodriguez's seat. My body shivered, as I felt that everything was falling apart. He was sitting there with a wide smile on his face while his eyes were scanning me from toe to face. All those past memories, all those laughters, all those voices flashed in front of me as I silently stood there with a shivering body.

"Trust me, it's just a prank."

"It seems that the accident was severe."

"We lost him."

"You can't just leave me alone J!"

"I am sorry"

My mind was playing with me by making me remember every slightest thing about the past. His eyes which were closed when I last saw him were looking at me now filled with tears. My breath started being heavier as the tears in my eyes were already threatening to come out.

"Meet him Shyla. Jacob Roy, the CEO of the designing company which is going to advertise all your fall designs." I heard Mrs. Rodriguez's voice as my eyes widened.

How is this all possible? Is Jacob Roy the CEO of the company? The man who died the day when we were going to catch our flight to New York? The man whose death made me lose a part of myself which I couldn't find back? The man who was sitting there in front of me now while smiling with tears in his eyes?

My thoughts got interrupted when I heard Mrs.Rodriguez's voice again.

"And Shyla, you should giv-" Her words stopped when her phone which was kept in her desk rang.

"I am sorry for the interruption. I'll be right back." She said as she opened the door and left the room. My eyes still didn't move an inch from him as I still looked at him arguing with my heart whether to believe this or not.

He suddenly stood up from his seat and started walking ahead. My whole body became still as I felt that my legs were unable to move back. He was getting closer as his familiar scent came into my nose making me feel the nostalgia. The scent which I always smelled whenever he embraced me into a warm hug. The dense dark black eyes looked at me still holding the simplicity and innocence which were my favourite to look at whenever I've had a bad day. The small dimple in his cheek had the capability of melting me even when I was raged with anger.
