The Truth is a deep Secret (On Hold)

Armaan's POV

I was standing there and the snowing was getting heavier. It was such a chilly weather. I was wondering that what was going on in my house but well, thinking that didn't made any sense at that time.

I felt some vibrations in my phone. My phone was always on vibration mode, I didn't like ringtones. I took it out from my jacket's pocket. I saw that Didi was calling me. I was surprised but it was also something expected for me, to be honest. She would do the unnecessary drama and waste time. What were they thinking? They will say and I will come back and 'live' my life? I of course rejected the call. I was really foolish. I shouldn't have come so deep in forest. From a distance I saw a house that looked somewhat old. I walked closer to it. As soon as stood in front of the house,I saw the door was wide open. I saw the living room but no one was there. There was a fireplace and I could feel some warm from far.

As it was so frizzing outside I stepped it without caring about anything. I went close to the fire place. I was a bit surprised because most of the people used heaters rather then having fire places but well I didn't care. There were two single sofas in that room and a brown carpet. 3-4 chairs in side. I sat on a sofa. I was doing everything without permission but there was no one so from whom could I take the permission from?

"Tea?" I heard a voice and I froze in fear. I looked back to see a girl standing with a coffee cup in her hand. She was wearing a black dress which seemed to be very different and maybe Victorian inspired clothing. She looked at me with her light brown eyes. She had a very beautiful vibe. There was no one there but then she was standing there.

"But first tell me who are you?, who are you?" I had to ask this. I didn't even knew her and she was offering me tea?

"That's not Vital for you to know. You are a stranger and its so freezing outside that's why I was asking." She said.

"Okay! But why do you live deep in the forest and how do you manage to live here? And do you live alone? Can you help me in any way?" I said curiously. I was asking too many questions I know but I had no chance. I wanted to know what's the matter.

"I think you don't need to know that." She said and started putting steps towards the corridar.

"Okay, but atleast tell your name." Then it was annoying me she seemed to hiding everything about herself. I was sure she didn't knew Yash so I decided to not ask.

"Natasha" She replied. It was a one word answer and yes we all have one word names only but she didn't reveal her last name too, seriously what was wrong?

"Well, I think I'm lost in this forest so can you please show me the way to the forest?" I said with some hope.

"Isn't this place beautiful, wouldn't you like to stay here for another 5 mintues, Kalakar ji?"

" What do you mean? I'm not any Artist or something. You are annoying me and saying to stay here for another five mintutes!" I said angrily.

"Then what? You have painting slate on the hand and its slightly covered with snow but that doesn't mean I haven't seen it. That indicates that you paint, Kalakar ji." She said. Whatever she said had meaning but yet didn't make sense for me.

"Please stop this Kalakar ji and all!! please. I do draw and paint but I'm not a painter." I said and I thought I should went out from there.

"A person who writes is a writer, A person who sings is a singer then why can't a person who paints be a painter?" She said with weirdish smile in her face. I was conformed then that she was'nt really going to help me. I had the thought of calling Yash again. I took out my phone and

"Okay, I will show you the way to the highway but that's not solution to all your problems."

"Wait, how do you even know that I'm in a lot of problems?" I said and looking at her with surprise.

"I know, your problems and your solutions to your problems." She said raising her eyebrows.

"Then tell me! Tell me fast. I need to know. " I said behaving like a child.

" Don't hurry. You will get to know everything but you need patience." She said looking down.

"You know I have problems but do you know what kind of problems I have." I said and yes I imagined she didn't knew of course but she acted like she knew everything.

"No...I don't now. You are troubled otherwise why have you ended up in middle of forest with me?" She said and went to the kitchen which was attached with the living room.

"Phew..! That means it was just a guess. That means you have problems too that's why you leave alone?" I said having a sense of relief.

"What were you thinking, I know you? Yes and No."

"No I didn't as im not so famous that you will know me and I won't.What kind of answer is this? Yes and No" I asked getting puzzled.

"Okay lets talk about it later, Now would you like to have some tea?" She asked.

"Okay, bring." I said and cleaned the snow that was in my jacket.

She looked very similar to some one I knew. Someone whom I could meet but didn't want to. Someone who was very close to me. Someone who made no difference in my life but I, still remember her.
