Secrets, A powerful weapon of mankind.

He was living normally, without tangling himself between the web of cruelty.

Until he met her, unexpectedly, unconditionally.

She was everything anyone can ask for but secrecy was her friend. Her life was tangled in the webs of mystery.

He despised secrets, detested those who hid the truth and abhorred those who lied flawlessly

They say the first impression is the best one.

But the same hadn't happened with them, their first impression was unexpected but the last one was intentional.

She was a lost secret puzzle.

He found the depth of her secrecy.

However, when he finally uncovered the depth of her secrecy, he was taken aback. Overwhelmed and afraid, he retreated, running far away from her.

But she called out to him, and he couldn't ignore her plea. He stepped forward, picked up his pace, and then he ran back. For her, he was willing to accept her, help her and love her.

He stood by her side and never left her.
