"Leave her" I said. He raised his brow at my words and I understood what he wanted.
"Please..." I begged and a smug grin erupted on his lips. He took my chin between his fingers while tracing his thumb over my face.

Sometimes it's wiser to remain indifferent than to nurture a longing that might eventually be shattered.
Once the storm of forbidden arrives, nothing can be undone. It will pass, yet it will leave the remnants in its wake which would claim the future entirely.
No one has seen the future but everyone is worried about it. I am not any different from them.
I haven't seen my future either but I have pictured it in my mind, and it's pretty clear.
It will have anything except his presence.
He is not for me.
I have been ignoring his advances at every chance I get.

It was 7 in the morning. I could not sleep properly.

I removed the blanket from my body and stepped down the bed to do my morning routine.
After taking a shower, I sat on the bed with a towel wrapped around my body.
I averted my eyes to the nightstand and saw some ointments which master kept here an hour before.
Yes, he came into my room and placed them here silently. He thought I was asleep but I wasn't.
I rose, and moved my feet to the nightstand and picked up the paper which he left here with the tubes and medicines.
It had the instructions of how to apply these creams. One of them was for burns, another one for scars, and the third one was for the bruises.
"I haven't seen these creams in a general medical store."
