Shadows of the Sunshine

New beginning of my life

*11:45pm, almost midnight, cloudy as always, there's a heavy rainfall currently*

*Saptaparni's POV* I was in my balcony, sipping a chilled glass of cold coffee which has more milk than coffee guess I still don't grow up haha. It was raining heavily thank god it didn't thunder much yet because I am very scared of thunders. And it's my first time in my new house of my own, becoming a successful woman in life as a fashion designer, not just some woman who creates clothes but also creates stories through her shows with her own played music being a keyboard player from childhood and a writer who can write and create anything, anytime & anywhere! I just love the concept of creation! Even though my friends know me as the person who loves the concept of LOVE actually, like I can speak about it always and not get tired or find an ending, it's so beautiful yet painful, its defination varies from person to person because it's such a feeling, misused at times & is the best at times! As i said, if I start, it never ends! *Laughs* Well ofcourse I am loser finding love myself, atleast I have me! Though I still do the believe in love because of the way I love! *Smiles truly* I love my new house, because maybe I can finally call it a Home, my home? I was enjoying my 'me' time. Suddenly, i heard someone knocking on my door downstairs with a deep scared voice "Excuse me! Please let me in! I need to escape, help me! Please open the door, they're after me". It's a man's voice, probably someone of my age or a little older. I rushed downstairs in fear, overthinking worse possibilities. I gathered all my courage and opened the door, it was dark and big thunder dropped nearby with a great flash and sound! Being scared as hell i screamed at the same time the man came in quickly, locking the door, panting hard, standing leaning on the door just infront of me! The lights weren't on, so I am not able to see his face. I told him to sit down on the cough while i switched on the lights and brought him a glass of water. But, as soon as I went near the cough I was surprised like anything! A tall man, in blue skinny jeans, dark red sweater with sleeves up, a green watch and hunter shoes, with brown curly hair and rectangular specs with a little moustache. It was a very familiar figure, none other than, Samson! My high school senior! He looked at me in surprise too but not as much surprised as I was. I handed him the glass of water, while putting by hand on his shoulder in assurance and spoke "Calm down, Mr. Sam-Sun! You're safe now! Nobody would break in so easily. You're alright now" with a smile. He drank the whole glass of water and looked at me with a courteous smile and replies "Well, thank you! Don't worry, I feel better now. I am so sorry for breaking in like this in such a bad weather". I said it's alright and he again smiled and asked "You still didn't forget that name? Sam-Sun! It's Samson but no use because it's you afterall! Crazy stubborn junior never changed I see". I smirked and reply "Ofcourse! I won't ever change! I love being me, Saptaparni"! I smiled like a proud kid. He chuckled and said "Right! Saptaparni" mimicking the way I said my old favourite line! I hit him jokingly and went to keep the glass and came. I asked him "Well, who was or were following you? What's going on"? He said "Umm, i can't really say because even I don't know actually. I need to find out maybe but right now they're gone and I am safe, I hope it's alright if I stay tonight? Because it's really bad outside, its been so many days now since we saw sunlight properly". I smiled sadly "Yea, I miss sunshine, just feels like my life lol. Anyways, you can stay tonight because I live alone so no problem, it's a huge house of mine, feel free and enjoy haha". He chuckles and replies "Thank you! Though you should be less Frank and shouldn't be so chill with everyone but anyways its me! Hahaha" we both laughed! I told him to follow me upstairs, there was a sofa cum bed in my room as the guest room wasn't ready yet, asked him to adjust there though he was more than happy. I closed to window and went to my bed. I was scrolling through my phone as well as Samson on the sofa. There was huge thunder and i screamed and quickly went inside my blanket not caring at all. I could hear someone laugh and i said from inside my blanket "Don't laugh! I am scared & can't help it! I will hit you badly i swear"! He laughed even more, probably got up but i felt he wasn't moving anymore until someone screamed right in my ears and being more scared I just jumped from my bed and we both ended up falling in the floor badly. I looked at him with a mad face and him being guilty, we laughed like kids again, *thunder again* "Oh no! WTF! Someone save me"! He laughed again as I grabbed my blanket and hid myself inside it like a kid. He sat on my bed on the window side after hanging a bedsheet kept on the chair over my curtains to reduce the sound and flash of thunders. I felt better, hopped on my bed, again going inside my blanket and watching my phone while saying "Thank you sir"! I guess he smiled. I was scrolling through my phone and someone peeped inside my blanket in confusion asking "Seriously? Are you gonna stay inside the whole time? Even kids are braver than you". I said "I don't give a fuck, I am scared and that's it"! He suddenly pulled my blanket, wrapping his legs in it while saying "Well I am cold! Not sorry, hehe". I said rolling my eyes "It's my house, doesn't matter if you're a senior here! Well anyways, I don't have another one and it's cold so, fineee! Share it, until I sleep terribly, so good luck"! I closed my phone, turned towards his side, trying to close my eyes and finally sleep but oh gosh, this man has a good strong perfume! I love it! Even tho I am woman, I use men's perfume because it's just way better! I asked him about the brand and it's the same one i use just a different smell one. I kept asking stupid questions and atlast he turned towards me from facing his back towards me, with a serious face and said "Will you please let me sleep? Ik you very well but I am sleepy" with a pleading face and i said happily "aahh, no worries, sleep"! We both slept deep ig.
