Buried Desire

"Love is compelling. It takes hold of you without warning, consuming you completely and ensnaring you forever."

It has been seven years since I saw him. I lost everything in a single night... Love, parents, and friendship. My father, a renowned Video game creator died in a car accident around mysterious circumstances which led my mother to lose her sanity. I stood in this bustling city, alone; but when I got an escape, I held it on like a coward, swearing never to step foot again.

But destiny had other plans...

I met him again, my once so-called best friend in his pre-wedding celebration. I try my best to avoid him at every turn but when we finally meet, sparks fly... when I see his steel grey eyes on me, my insides clench, wanting to sink deep in it.

When mysteries of the past unfold, fate gives me a chance to know the truth- I grab it. This time, I am not a coward, cowering Dsouza girl.

But, what I fear the most resurfaces as soon as I see him... My Buried Desire.
