Before it started-Part 1

The daylight was fading into complete darkness. The busy life was settling into absolute silence zone. There were few people, heading towards their resting abode. The street dogs made themselves comfortable on the centre of the road. The cool breeze decreased the temperature down. The moon was rising up into the sky.

Rose stood motionless and looked at the sky. The stars were looking like the angels smiling at her. She was like a broken angel who wanted to be one of those stars.  Nothing went right according to her.  She had started to depart herself from her closed ones.  She had disappointed her parents for losing her focus on her dreams. Her love life had ended before it started. The pain was piercing inside her heart. She wanted to scream but no voice came out. It stayed inside her. It made her guilty of what she had done. 

What’s wrong with me? Why does this happen to me?  God! What did I do? Why do you always play dirty tricks with me? Was this love simply a mirage?  Why did I fall for him? I knew he was not going to be mine. I should have stopped myself. Oh god, at least you should have stopped me. All these thoughts were circling her mind.  Tears were pouring out of her eyes. They made her eyes soggy.

Her mind was drifting to the past memories. Those were most precious and beautiful moments of her life. She would never forget those moments. How sweet was time before this mess? She wished It remained like this forever……….

(Present day)

It was hot summer day. She had just finished her day at the college. She was dead tired. She had no time to rest. She had to go for choir practice. She also had to complete a hell lot of assignments. She pressed the lift button again. The sweat was dripping from all parts of her body. It had dissolved with the perfume.  This gave some kind of an odour. She hated that. She seriously had to take a bath.

“What the hell?  Why is it taking so long?” she wondered.  At last the lift door opened.  She was about to rush inside the lift. Suddenly the presence of the stranger in the lift made her stop.  It was her new neighbor. He stared at her for some time and got out. Rose was dumbstruck. She didn’t know what to say- whether to greet him or say sorry. He had most wonderful eyes –grey green ones that was staring her just few minutes back.  She wanted to stare at those eyes for some more time.
