"Just remember, if we get caught you're deaf and I don't speak English." "You're over thinking this, trust me. We won't get caught," he says with a smirk as he scans over my face, staring at my lips for a moment until stopping when his eyes meet mine. I smile back at him. ~~~~~~~~~~ Wish I could say that a lot of people cared for me. That was what I always said till I became a sophmore in high school. ~~~~~ "You wanna know how I can tell when your lying?" "I'm not lying!" He says exasperatingly. "You have the habit of staring at my lips whenever you lie. As if looking for me to call you out on your lie," I say smirking at him. "You ever think that maybe that's just because I just want to kiss you?" ~~~~~~ You ever read a book that makes you wish you were the main character, despite the struggles just so you can feel that fear that the author tries to describe? Well, that's what my life has turned into. The flames start to rise... And I dance through them as best as I can... though in the end, I fall... And the flames consume us all... But I'm the only one that burns...

"Forever, I had stayed silent, closed off, cut by the doldrums of family politics and societal pressures. Buried under biased judgements, I dwarfed to insignificant heights. But, inside the blaze fought to seize power-an inferno. Raging flames fuelled to perfection-burning hot with wrath, scorched by hindered expectations and smothered under unrealized dreams. Beauty and the beast reside together, working in unison. When one sleeps another awakes. Every beauty has a beast, brought alive by a trigger. I was a beauty, but then shit happened. Still, I smile. I laugh. I cook. I sew. I make love. I'm a good girl. But, good girls aren't necessarily good, it's just that they aren't bad in the traditional way. ---------------------------------------------------------- "You will get used to it...just a matter of time", her mother stated. "Every girl goes through this phase." It's easier said than done. For Sreya, the statement failed to shed a warm light, never had. And growing up in Swarupnagar, a suburb in one of the most dead corners of Kolkata didn't contribute much to the situation either. Dreams aren't bound, neither by words nor by limitations. Sreya dreamt for just one thing-get out of the system and create a life of her own. But, not every dream can be fulfilled; even worse, what if they come at a cost? What happens when your past that you skilfully camouflage haunts as your worst nightmare and the institution of marriage that people hold as sacred is rigged at the very core! Set against a backdrop of Metropolitan Kolkata, this tale of lust, ambition, addiction and revenge creates a wild concoction that is sure to leave readers' minds content, fulfilled and craving for more. ---------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: MATURE CONTENT Start date: 13/08/2021 End date: 30/9/2021
