Author's pov :

This bright morning at Simran's mansion, Nida and Simran were sitting on the swing on the terrace attached to Simran's room.

"So what it is this time? why did you guys fight?" , Simran asked .

"Well it seems that he is dating that Akdu. He is always busy with him. He seems really busy with his work. It's been like forever since we went somewhere and spend some time alone." , Nida said with a sad look on her face.

" But it is about his work there. He would surely make it up for that for how madly is he head over heels for you" , said Simran with a small smile on her face.

"Well I wanted to ask this for a long time " , Nida said and gulped her coffee in a go and continued , " See Simi , I am your lucifer you know that right and I know your from eleven freaking years now. I just want to know about what happened in your past, you can share it with me and trust me I really want to help you with it ."

Simran went stiff hearing about the mention of her past, her jaw clenched but she controlled her emotions. She looked at Nida frowning at her , she closed her eyes and took a deep breathe and gave Nida a small smile and said , " That's a story for some other day and I will tell you about it when it's the right time. For now just know that , some stories should be left unsaid."

"Well, I can't force you on that. Just a question , It's been freaking eleven years or something , I guess , Why don't you try dating ?" , she said.

" I don't want to date or something. I am better off alone " , Simran said .

Nida frowned at her and was about say something just when she got a call. She checked her phone and showed it to Simran.

" Told ya , this guy can't breathe without you , go and talk " , Simran said with a small smile .

Nida gestured her that this talk is not done yet and they will continue it. She went inside the room to receive the call leaving Simran with her thoughts.

Simran's pov :

Twelve years, two months , five days , six hours , forty-five minutes and thirty - six seconds and I am still waiting for that one person.

That one person, my love ,and I still remember that smile , that beautiful green eyes that had held me captivated for all these years. I wish it didn't happen. I wish we all were okay. I wish that past didn't hurt me.

I lost everything. The power , the money , it doesn't concern me . Leading a life , being alone all the time , earning money , this has become the cycle of my life . I don't know myself anymore. It feels empty. Everything feels empty. The heart aches feeling this emptiness. I wish I could just meet him , look in his eyes , hug him and let all this out. It feels like he is close to me but yet too far just like the shining moon.

Tears threatened my eyes but I shook my head deciding to not let this feelings empower my mind. IMy eyes went on Nida and I saw her smiling ear to ear. A small smile threatened my lips. I am happy for her. I hope she stays happy forever.

I stood up and went inside my room. Opening the closet room, I went in and chose a back co-ord set and the black heels.

Taking my essentials , I went to my washroom and got ready in my office attire after taking a shower .

Coming out , I saw Nida coming inside the room all ready to go somewhere. I raised my eyebrow looking at her. She smiled sheepishly .

"He asked to meet me at the cafe near your firm. I am going with you . Drop me there. " , she said and and moved out of the room.
