Unexpected surprises are the worst surprises. but they are still surprises, and sometimes it's in our hands to make these unexpected surprises, a little bit more surprisingly lovable. Devasya is about to learn that its not always necessary to walk on your path alone, sometimes it's feels good to walk while holding hand of someone.

Life is an ocean and we all are the swimmers and now it depends upon Devasya and Sona to either cross this ocean together with the flow or go against the flow to change their paths. **** "And how do I check if I am happy or not?" "no one is truly really happy to be honest .everyone has something they always worry about so there is no way to "check" it. All you can do is find those small moments where your heart feels so happy that it feels like it's burning, your eyes shine so bright you forget to blink, or your lips can't help themselves and stretch into a huge smile. you just have to find those moments you know?Life is just a collection of moments making memories, its on you how and when to choose it. you decide how happy are you, no one does it for you." *** Previously titled: The two introverts

He opens the car's door for me, then he clasps my seat belt, when I'm sitting inside the car, that time I see girls are ogling at his back view, god nowadays girls are totally shameless as well as hopeless. I glare at them but they are not paying attention to me so they don't see my glare, which raised my anger more.
