Aadrika..." His raw voice wrapped her skin lika a vine, she felt his breath curling against her, the heat engulfed her from head to toe. Her wet cheeks flushed warm and red, she flickered her eyelids up to him slowly, shivering under the soft strokes of his rough hand on her waist. Even her soul shivered against the touch of the cold metal of his ring. "My life is a hell, always burning and never at rest. All I ever want is not to let you burn and your happiness never turn into dust". He said, his voice raspy yet dark. His black eyes that were like the boundless abandoned desert, at this moment were soaked with the silence of unspoken words that his heart hide. "I'm not the right person you can have feelings for and I am nothing more than a walking corpse for people." A dark, wretched chuckle slipped from his throat and a strange emotion grew thicker in his shiver inducing voice. And then he just looked away, anticipating the response the majority of people had to say about him. "Maybe for others you're the heat of the summer they hate, but for me you're the warmth of winter I wait for, maybe for others you're the heavy rain they open the umbrella for, but for me you're the tiny diamond droplets in which I'm always read to soak in, maybe for others you're the shrivelled flower but for me you're that special beautiful flower that deserves to be in botique, maybe for other-" Her eyes shimmered with tears, words failed to reach on her lips as her lips quivered, her eyelids drooped. And then he pulled her closer and hid her in his arms, loathing the pearl falling from her eyes. "I wish, I could love you". She heard him saying and then the waves of realization drown her heart that it was nothing but a betrayal game of her mind, the imagination "But why not?" She asked herself, her voice barely above than a whisper that soon get lost in the whispers of breeze and a flowing tear of her eye washed away with the tears of sky {A slow burning Romance}
