His shirt had got really wet.
However, he didn’t care. He saw her red face that was due to too much of
weeping. “Are you feeling better?” he asked. “I am fine. I am sorry for wetting
your t-shirt.”, she said while trying to breath.
He grinned and hugged her
tightly. After she pulled herself out of his embrace, she said softly, “How do
you know so much about me? I hardly know you.” “Ahh! You and the never ending
questions! (grins) I have a power to read the past of people I meet. ” , he
said and winked at her. “I..I have a confession to make. You remind me of Jane
sometimes.”, he added. “Who is Jane?”,she asked. “Jane..was my life. She was going
to be my future wife…”he said and started talking about his past for the first
time in his life. “Yesterday marks our 122th death anniversary. I usually hunt
at that day. But after seeing you, I had no courage to kill you. I saw my Jane
in you.”, he continued. “ I thought my life was bad and worthless. Your life is
more dark and complicated than mine. You have lost so much than me.”, she said.
She took his hand into hers and squeezed it gently.
They stopped talking and walked until her legs
were paining. He saw her tired eyes and
said, “I guess you are tired. Let’s take you home.” He dropped her home. They were at her
doorstep. “Well, I guess it is the end of this beautiful night.” she said. “ Yes,
but I am looking forward for our date tomorrow.”,
he said excitedly. “What date? Wasn’t this a date for you?”she asked. He rolled
his eyes and said, “No! This was what you call ‘starters’. Tomorrow I would
show you what perfect date is”he said , giving her his brightest smile. She
blushed and fled inside her house.
She woke up to a new day in her
life. She smiled carelessly for the first time. She never felt so fresh and
relaxed than today. After the breakfast, she visited her mother cum mentor. Her
mother was so excited to see her. They spoke after a long time. There was so
much to share. God! She did miss so many things in her life. Later she called
her friends. Though her friends didn’t accept her apologies easily, it didn’t
dampen her spirit.
She was at her room in the
evening. She was rekindling her previous relationship(both professional and
personal). The door bell rang. She opened the door to see that he was waiting
for her with his usual charm. She greeted him with a passionate kiss and hugged
him tight.
It was night that she was looking
forward.
