Narrator's POV

Another day went by. The night is always cold and dark but she loved nights. It's a time period in twenty-four hours where no one bothers you. No one cares what you are doing. No one checks on you. No one keeps a watch on you. No one disturbs you. Hence it is naturally a perfect time to get sucked up into one's own world...not knowing when to come out.

Kim went out in the front garden after dinner. Others decided to call it a day as well. They went to their rooms to go into their dreamlands. But she is a night owl, so she stays up for most of the night time. She sleeps usually at 2 or 3 in morning.

As she went out, cool night breeze greeted her. Her loose hairs fluttered with the breeze smoothly. She was wearing white evening dress and stood out in the dark. She had long dark brown hairs, small black eyes - ones which would disappear when she smiled. She had heart shaped face, small nose and attractive pink soft lips.

She was fair and was slightly chubby. She was always self conscious but paid not too much of attention on her appearance. She thought it was unnecessary. She walked gracefully with her cell phone in one hand towards the fountain. She then sat on the edge and played with water.

After refreshment, she stated reading an ebook - a thing which she always does and can't give up on. She soon got lost in her own world. At funny moments while reading she used to laugh heartily and at some moments she used to pout cutely also she used to pass some comments. She was very lively.

Soon it was nearly midnight. There was full moon on that day. The garden was illuminated by it's soft glow. Kim sat there enjoying her book. She was so engrossed in it that she didn't notice that someone was watching her intently from a window on the second floor.

Daniel's POV

It was almost 12 o' clock when I got too bored by sitting in my study. I was busy all day taking care of all the arrangements of my uncle's foreign visit. It was an official visit so I had to take care of most of the formalities. Others were busy too so I just thought of it as an experience and got to work. I knew today my classmates were coming but I didn't go to welcome them.

There's still tomorrow to see them.

I was thinking of leaving the work for a while and at least join others for dinner but then I lost the track of time and when I decided to take a break I realised that it was already past dinner time and went back to work.

Let's not take a break and just finish this.

John came in to give me details of my friends' visit and brought my dinner too. He told me that a new member has joined us. A girl named Kim. I was just listening half heartedly. I bet she is one of those who had connections and invited herself to get close to us like others, I thought.

Ahh another girl... why aren't they tired of such things?

Then he told me that Greame, Ricky and Michael liked her. Maria is her best friend and she is roommate of those three girls.

Since when did those girls start accepting friends. And Maria...? I don't believe that she did this. Maybe that girl is probably not what I think she is. Let's listen further......

John then said that she is from other country and don't know much about us other than what the girls told her. Also that she is totally aloof from this world and has built up strong barriers around her. She is too reserved and doesn't trust anyone. Also she didn't show any type of interest in conversing with the boys which made them interested in her.

I was clearly interested in knowing her too. I was seeing this type of girl for the first time afterall. I think it's the same with others. Well, let's see her tomorrow.

After babbling for some more minutes John went. Greame came in and started his own story. Same as John, all talks about her.

So she is now the centre of your talks.... I see.

Greame is clearly interested in Maria. He likes her and is unclear of his love towards her. But I hope he finds his feelings. I'm looking forward to it because she will be my life saver then as I won't be treated as audience for his crap talk all the time. I hope the same goes for Rick too. That guy surely knows how to get on other's nerves because of his talks.

I finished my work at 11 o' clock. I then packed up my things and took shower. I changed into my pyjamas and a soft tee shirt. Then I went to take a walk for clearing my mind and to breath in fresh air. I was walking in the hallway of second floor. I walked pass a window and thought I saw someone through my peripheral vision then I came back to see out through the window.

What was that?

I stood on the spot mesmerized. A girl was walking in the garden. She was wearing a beautiful white evening dress and had beautiful features. Her hairs were one with the breeze. With her bangs above her eyes she looked so cute like a child. She then sat on the edge of the fountain and played with the water. She took the big pink lotus in her hand and looked at it. Suddenly a soft breeze blew and I widened my eyes in shock.

Is this for real....this sight....

With the gentle breeze playing with her hairs, there she stood near the fountain pond with lotus in her hand, wearing white. Her pink soft lips were slightly parted as she lowered her eyes to watch the flower very carefully. She looked liked a goddess. Coming straight from the heaven.

Ahh so beautiful....it's much more than that, I just can't describe.

I was suddenly thinking how would it feel to touch her lips, caress them and kiss them. I bet they are so soft..... wait, what am I thinking?

I've never felt such emotions in me. I'm a calm and collected person. I don't like others ordering me around and also I like to be responsible of my own things and take control of them. I was so confused because what I'm experiencing now is exactly opposite of that.

I went out into the balcony and stood there watching her. She was reading something so attentively. She was laughing in between and also pouted a few times. She also said something by looking at her cell phone's screen. I couldn't understand what she said. I was watching her and only her.

My mind was blank only with her picture fit in there. My heart was in chaos.
