Red roses - Part 4

He couldn't see his friend's sulking throughout the day. He had to do something. But he had tried every possible method. He had taken his friend to their favorite hangouts. He had also taken him to football match at the sports bar and the match was exciting one where their favorite team had won.

Unfortunately his friend was only interested in drinking the different kinds of poison. He would start drinking from the time he wakes up till the night. Alcohol had become the only solution to his injuries. Arjun was saddened by his friend's inability to come out of this mess.

The morining walks had become routine for Arjun though his friend didn't come with him.  He would buy the morning newspaper and cup of hot tea after the walk. But buying newspaper was not to enhance his awareness about world, it was meerly to see the girl. Alas! He hadn't seen her for many days after incident.

As usual after his morning walk, he bought the newspaper and started reading headlines. He was bored reading the same negative news. Today was no different with news about a boy who died of unexplained condition. He couldn't understand about how can one die due to watching from the telescope. This was insane. Newspapers publishers  had no other work than publish these baseless news.

He sipped the tea and looked towards the stall where she would buy the roses. She wasn't there. He took another sip and looked again. It had burnt his tongue. The reason of burning his mouth was not because of hot tea but due to her unexpected presence.

She looked like an angel in the white floral dress. Her creamy skin was inviting. She was staring at him with curious grey eyes. Her lips were full and deep red. He couldn't control his feet and walked towards her. His hands sunk into the pockets of his track suit due to his inability to control his shaking nervous fingers.
