When the love of your life leaves you for another woman, you are left with no hope. But your life takes a turn when you find peace in a stranger. When you give love another chance, little you know about him and his past life.

I literally jumped from the couch, still in shock "Maeve are you ok? How...how is your hand?" I searched for her hands.
"My hands? What happened to my hands?"
"Show me your hands please" I touched her hands and was relieved to find no cuts on them.
You were calling out my name loudly. I think you had a bad dream, Zane."
"A dream?" It took me a moment to process. "Oh, that was a dream. Maeve is still alive!!!"
"what? What do you mean by 'Maeve is still alive?'"
"Nothing. Maeve you can go the room and relax. I'll cook you the breakfast."
"Now? At 4 in the morning?"
What, it's not dawn yet? I'm so sorry to wake you up so early. You should go and sleep."
"You sure you are fine."
"Oh yes. Good night"
"Good night Zane"
"And Maeve, please don't lock the door Ok"
"Why?"
"It's...actually...oh yes, the lock is, you know, broken. So its safe not to..."
"But this seems to be fine only."
"It's not. To be honest I always lock myself in. And I will have to call a boy in the neighbourhood to come and help me. So its better not to put the lock."
"Fine, as you say. Good night"
I can't catch my breath even now. I thought she is dead. That dream did take my soul out of me. I couldn't get any more sleep. So I went to the balcony and started to play my guitar. I think I'm already in love with the new guitar. My old one was with me for over 10 years. Too old to play, but it never led me down. It was my constant companion for many years. Even if I lost it, I'm glad that Maeve came into my life. At least now there is someone in this bitter lonely life of mine. I don't know for how long she is gonna stay. But I know these days will be the best of my life. Less bitter, less darker. And I slipped into sleep thinking about her.
I thought of making breakfast for her in the morning. But she was the one who woke me up.
"Good morning, coffee?"
"You made me coffee? You shouldn't have. I would have..."
"Yes, I know I am your guest and you were supposed to prepare the breakfast. Enough of these formalities. I have prepared the breakfast. Take it as a thank you, for not leaving me on the road last night."
"I thought that's what friends do. Anyway did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I did. Except for someone screaming my name in the middle of the night, everything was perfect."
"That...how do you feel now? I mean about what happened last night..." She was silent. I shouldn't have asked her. "Ok the food smells delicious. What have you made."
"Taste it for yourself."
"Ok...Wow! This is good...I mean so good. I didn't know you were such a skilled cook."
"I am glad that you like it."
"I love it...And Maeve, are you free in the evening?"
"Why?"
I have got a special performance at a nightclub. Why don't you just come and join?"
"I am sorry, but I am..."
"No...No way I'm taking a rejection here. You have to be there. Its the first time I'm going to perform with your guitar. So you should be there."
"Zane but I was thinking about shifting to somewhere else"
"Oh really, you found a place?"
"I will"
"You will! So you haven't yet. I am not planning to let you go until you have got a proper place to stay."
"But..."
"Shh...find a place and you can move out of here. And get ready for the performance tonight."
"Ok, I'll be there."
"Is that a promise?"
"It is"
I had to leave early for practice. All the time I was worried about her. The last night dream, well nightmare still haunted me. It was a bad idea to leave her alone at house. I called and checked for two times. Second time she itself told not to call her if there's nothing urgent and concentrate on the practice. I hope she do show up for the performance.

There she is. I had very less hope that she would come. But she did show up. I was tuning my guitar when I heard someone calling out my name. There she was.
"Zane!! Look at you. You look amazing."
"Maeve I can't believe this, I'm so happy that you are here. Thanks for coming."
"No, I should thank you for inviting me. I like this place you know. Its full of energy here. I feel like dancing. I was great at dancing during my collage days"
"Well, grab a drink and dance your heart out. Maybe I can sing a few songs specially for you"
"Yes please. I want to enjoy the night."
"I am happy to see you so much excited. I was wondering if you would like it here or not."
"You know, this place is so much fun."
"You are free to do whatever you want. Enjoy the night. I'll then go and get ready for my performance. Will you be alright alone?"
"I'll manage, and all the very best. Rock the stage."
"Thank you Maeve. Bye"
Soon after the performance, I started searching for Maeve. But she was nowhere to be seen.
