" what did you say earlier?" I asked her .

She stopped whatever she is doing and looked stunned at ground.

"Who on the earth have discovered an expression to look at the ground ? "I groaned in frustration seeing her always in this state.

" did I  asked you to examine the beauty of the floor?" I asked her menacingly.

For a moment she shivered and stumbled in her place, I looked around and calmly said " sit inside".

She opened the passenger door and sat inside . She started playing with edge of her saree and fidgeting with her hands , clearly indicating me that she is hell nervous .

I took driving seat and started the engine. I unnecessarily honking the car and clutched the steering tightly.

Am I that bad person , she is not even looking at me?

I stopped the car at the beach road  and asked her to get down. She nodded and stepped outside while I parked the car to one side.

We both walked along the side of  sea shore , erasing all the pain by healing the wounds with tides music as background and replacing the hurt with blissful by touching our feet with cool water.

I looked at her who is now her eyes were twinkling and joyful with readable expressions.

I turned back to surprise our foot prints on sand leaving me a hope that one day no ,she will live and stay with me , besides me , with in my heart forever .

She has now placed in my heart  that no one had that pull or attract to any other girl.

I sat on sand making myself comfortable and patted her an empty place besides me.

She sat and we both lost in the view before us, a full moon surrounded with pitch dark only enhancing the illuminating stars and the moon. The whole atmosphere is silenced around us only the wave sound and the moon light .

It is like moon is hiding behind the water, yet we know the truth there is lot of distance between them. I looked at her as if she is resembling as a moon for me.

" What did you say earlier?" I asked calmly seeing at her who is now suddenly get back to her stiffen position.

My eyes were not leaving her , may be sensed my piercing gaze she looked at me from corner of her eyes and said " sorry sir!!" Slowly whispered.

" what?" I unsurely asked why she is seeking sorry.

" sorry sir!! .....I never repeat your name" she stuttered.

" Say my name" I ordered here.

Her gestures shows that she is panic, she is feeling uncomfortable but seriously I am enjoying her every move.

I starred at her face to feel the unknown emotions and untold feelings. I never knew this silence also can convey many things.

" sh..shiv" she whispered slowly by closing her eyes.

I love my name but I never knew it had such a strong melodic emotion and vibration in it until it's pronounced by her angelic voice. Her voice made my name a phonetic drug to me which made a bliss to my ears. I want to hear my name from her more, how her lips curls when she pronounces my name, that's it I am totally lost with her wholesomeness.

I looked at her who is now looking at my eyes and immediately averted away from me.

After few hours , we started back and I dropped at her place.

I stepped inside my house by whistling and stopped sensing someone behind me.

I immediately took my revolver and turned back keeping the gun in loading position.

" woah!! I don't want to die without marriage " Ram said by surrendering.

I chuckled and kept the gun inside my shirt.

" why is the stupid smile on your face?" I asked scrunching my eyebrows.

" hahaaa..... theses days one of my long long friend fallen in love and now he is too busy to even greet his friend" Ram said dramatically.

I shook my head and asked " Have you got any information?"

" not yet, but I will figure it out and almost I am very near to her " Ram said.

" Good" I mumbled and went inside my room, while Ram flopped on my bed .

I refreshed and sat on bed , " What?" I asked who has a big grin on his face.

" Now tell all the story" he demanded.

I gave a look at him are we a girls who shares all secrets.

" This is too much da" he said by throwing a pillow.

I caught it and said " Get out, I will not tell one single thing to you".

He huffed and turned back before stepping out " you will pay for it".

Like really I gave a look and closed the door on his face.

I went to her room and closed the door. She turned to my side and gave a small smile at me .

I kept my books at the table and sat on chair. when I am busily turning the pages where I stopped reading , I cornered my eyes to her side. She is standing besides me and frowning.

I looked at her and raised my eyebrow what?

She blinked her eyes and shook her head.

" Spill out" I asked her sternly.

" Are you preparing for civils?" She asked slowly.

I looked at her if she had grown two heads.

" Sorry saab!!" she said .

" call me shiv" I demanded her.

For once she taken back and again composed herself, she nodded again and I am no where stepping back on glaring at her . Sensing my intense glare ,she finally spoke " shiv" it's almost like a unsurely called my name.

" what is your qualification?" I asked while flipping another page.

" huh?" She asked and stood like a statue.

" what have you studied? I mean where did you stopped your education?" I asked her like A - for -Apple, B -for- Ball..

" I studied up to 8th standard " she said proudly by raising her fake collar.

I shook my head and she said " okay!! You study, I am going to sleep" by yawning.

I nodded and resumed my work where I stopped.

After few hours , I too slept on her side maintaining a gap between us.
