Just One Chance

Chapter Nine

We both arrived in Goa early in the morning. There are two separate rooms for boys and girls. The entire day everyone was in their rooms due to the tiresome journey. In the evening they decided to explore the nearest beach.

The beach was brightened with full of youngsters. Most of them come with their friends and loved ones to celebrate the most awaited Christmas holiday. The seven buddies were gossiping and bitching about their professors and classmates.  Aromatic snacks with a bottle of wine were their partner in crime. After that, they had a delicious dinner and went to their rooms taking an oath that tomorrow they would be having a party the whole night.

Mahir' POV

It was midnight, and I found myself unable to sleep. Deciding not to disturb my roommates, I ventured out onto the balcony of the hotel. There, I saw an exquisite scene: she was sitting near the beach and the ravishing moonlight, which made her even more beautiful. Without hesitation, I hurried over to her. As I approached, I saw that she was writing something in a notebook. She noticed me, and her dazzling smile, and gestured for me to sit beside her.

Bela: Can't sleep

I nodded.

"So you write a journal?"

" It's not a journal, I just write down my entire feelings in this diary."

"Can I see this?" I was deliberately trying to snatch the diary.

"No, you can't Mahir"  and she moved her hand fast.

We both were giggling and looked at each other eyes for a while.  She broke the eye lock with her words.

"I don't want to share my inner feelings with anyone. So it's just an everyday conversation between me and my diary. I have been writing this diary since he left. Till now this is the only medium to share my feelings when I feel low. Even I don't share anything with my parents and Vishakha. Only a diary knows. "  She paused for a minute and said, " But 1 sec, why am I telling you all of this?"

"Maybe you feel that I am that person with whom you can share everything. "I softly placed my hand on her hand and confessed.

She didn't utter a word, but the flicker in her eyes conveyed a mix of surprise and warmth in response to my words. Her smooth, silky, and shiny hair gently veiled her face, and without a second thought, I delicately moved it aside. As she closed her eyes for a moment, a serene calmness enveloped us. When she reopened them, her gaze met mine, sparking an unspoken connection between us. The rhythmic sound of the waves was eavesdropping on our silent conversation. 

We were getting close and we both could feel each other's breath. Our lips were about to touch each other but she backed off. A occurred silent arrived between us. She stood up and softly wished me good night.

Next day morning we had a plan to explore the famous Beaches and market. All boys had arrived on time. And they were waiting for girls Yashvi, Bela and Vish.

This is their bad habit. All time they are late, Rounak said.

Dekho abhi bhi makeup kar rahi hogi, Keshav started making fun.

But after seeing Yashvi is coming they stopped.

Mahir : where is Bela and Vish?

Other boys were also asking the same question to her.

She was looking drab. They will not come. "They headed back to their home." Yasvi told them

Everyone was raising the same question why they both left.

" I know why she left. Friends sorry I have to return right now. " I said and quickly left for the next flight of Mumbai.
