Falling in love with him was not what she planned, that was what she desired, to fall for a jerk was her desire, Ironic much, isn't?
Even though six years passed, she could not move on from him, his voice, and his brownish eyes and the way he looks at her, these entire things still affect her. She tried all possible ways to get over him, to give his place to someone else. It would be an understatement if I say that she did not find one more jerk, she did. She has thought that rather than falling out of it, it would be better if she could find someone else to replace him. Though, she did not find them appealing to spend her life with.
How could she find them appealing when her heart was craving for him, only him?Her long and arduous quest to find him in those people may be getting over soon, but before she could decide anything, he disappeared again.Sharon was palpitating with terror, her hushed footsteps echoed in the dark corridor. She has been searching for him since few minutes, she was sure that whatever happened a while ago was not any dream; that was a reality. She used to hallucinate him but this time she knows that this was not a hallucination, he was playing hide and seek.Her foot anchored at one place when a beautiful yet painful memory came to her mind, she stood there staring at the closed door of a room with twinkling eyes, the tears of fear and anxiety ran through her cheeks.
Years back one day some of Sharon's friends decided to celebrate her birthday. Everyone was invited, but Sharon did not know anything about the surprise party. After the school got over her best friend, Simi tricked her to the terrace to celebrate the birthday. Even Swayam was invited with his group of bad boys.
Sharon was known as the diva with an attitude to admire; everyone respected and adored her. She was like a coconut, hard from outside, soft from inside. Some people did not like her because of her sophisticated life and the attention she got. Boys admired her and girls envied her.Whenever Swayam hurt a person emotionally or physically, she used to come to their rescue. Only she had the guts to complain against him, just because she knows swayam would never hurt her beyond a limit that was her faith. She had seen a different swayam inside that jerk. She tried a lot in those days to bring brightness in his life but failed miserably.
"Sharon"
A long silence fell there, Sharon was staring at the door and Sswayam stood behind her, his face adorned a smile. She turned to see brown deep eyes staring at her, she tried to read his eyes to decipher what exactly he hide in those, but could not give a name to those unsaid feelings, his eyes were flooded with many emotions which she had never seen in any.
****
"Happy birthday Sharon" everyone shouted with excitement.
Sharon stood at the door of the terrace with open mouth. She did not expect that there would be a celebration for her, that there would be someone, who willingly takes the responsibility to plan a celebration for her.Simi patted her shoulder to bring her back to the earth, she graciously walked towards the center and stood near the cake.
Her eyes scanned the whole area to meet with his eyes, but unfortunately, he was not there, a sad frown formed on her face, but soon she replaced that with a cheeky grin to show her gratitude.
"Cut the cake Sharon, I'm so hungry to eat" Vicky shouted from the audience.
"Shut up you idiot, she will." Neha responded and gave the knife to Sharon.
With a fake smile, she cut the cake, somewhere she knows swayam planned this, she once again tried to search him in the crowd, but he was still not there.Sharon cut the cake and took one piece to give Simi, at the same time the lights went off.
