"It's been a week since we have shifted here, shouldn't we go and visit some places! What do you guys say?" Aayan's father asked.
"Well, I am ready what about you aayan?" His mother asked aayan who was in a deep thought, probably thinking about the unknown letters.
He didn't respond.
"Aayan, is everything okay?"
"Yeah mom, per...fectly fine."
Aayan said. "And if you guys want to go, you can, I'll stay here, I have to handle somethings and prepare for the university."
"But aayan ..."
"Mom, I am sorry but I can't go."
Aayan said and went outside. He was not going because he was determined to know about his unknown paramour. He was excited as well as a little scared.
"Who was she? Why was she doing this?"
Many questions popped out in his mind.

In the evening, he was outside for a walk. The sun was about to set, approximately half an hour left.
The light was good. He was walking when again he was hit by letter. Before he picked it up, he looked behind to see, who it was. Behind the wall, he saw a shadow.
"A girl's shadow!" He thought.
She was turning around with her hair all moving with the breeze.
He got goosebumps. A rush excitement and fear went through his body. He immediately ran their to look who was that.
But there was no one to be seen.
Suddenly he noticed something. The shadow reminded him of something.

"That girl, oh yes! That girl whom I met yesterday, her shadow is just like her!"
He murmured with excitement but still he had a doubt that maybe he was just assuming.
