Song- Heaven, by Julia Michaels.
(well, this song has nothing to do with this chapter. I'm just, in love with this song lately. So, I thought I should share this with you guys.)

**************

Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.

***************

You know that moment when you turn around, and your eyes met his. And you just know it's him. The one. It had to be him. The world, it stops and all that exists is him, and you, staring at eachother. Nothing else matters. No noise, no other people, no thoughts, no worries, no yesterday, no tomorrow. The world stops, and it's a beautiful place no matter wherever you are. It's just you and him. You find this courage to keep staring into his eyes even when you can't anymore, and he's staring back with his those beautiful eyes. That kind of eyes you could get lost in, and I guess I did. Well, I always did everytime our eyes met. No matter what situation or how far away I am from him. It just happens to be perfect around him for no particular reason.

"Looking for this?" He had ask, still not breaking the eye contact, his voice was so cold, and intense at the same time. It made me come out of my haze, and it also made me realise that I was staring, without blinking, my eyes and mouth wide open. I blinked several times to come out of this haze and looked at his direction again, this time looking at all of his appearance, not just eyes. He was standing still, leaning against the doorframe, wearing same clothes as I saw, or had imagined him before. And, he has my necklace in his right hand which he was holding in front of me. First I took a look of his whole appearance. It can't be coincidence that he was wearing the same clothes I had hallucinating him in? And then my eyes fell on the chain which was hanging loosely over his middle and forefinger.

How the hell he had my chain? I asked my own inner self. Does that mean he was here, for real? Not my imagination or hallucination. I was actually dancing with him?

I don't know for how long I sat there, scanning him with my eyes wide open, and my mind blank.

He too said nothing, and if anything he keeps on mirroring my reaction as he too stared back at me with a blank expression.

Finding myself still in the sitting position, I decided to stand back on my own two feet, which I did, though not so gracefully, but I did taking my backpack along with me which I had dropped beside me while I was looking for my necklace.

I then walked two steps close to him, and he did the same. He too walked two steps inside the hall, coming close to me, his eyes like always not leaving mine.

I cleared my throat before saying, "that belongs to me", I then took deep breath to calm my nervous senses. And I clearly avoided his eyes while saying that one line because I know what was about to come. What he's going to ask me.

"You sure about that?", He questioned, just like I thought he would. And I have this gut feeling that there are still more round of questions coming in my way.

"Yes, I'm very sure", this time I spoke confidentially as I look directly into his eyes again.

He was looking at me with blank expression, but then his gaze shifted south, landing now on my chest. And suddenly his blank expression changed into something different, something dark. I too look down at my own self and my cheeks turn bright red in embarrassment when I realise what he was looking at.
