A Love Which Was Never Meant To Be

CH 14: THE MYTH

I turned side wards facing Yuan and observed him as he sleep peacefully. The rays falling on him clearly showed his fat less cheeks which then slowly led to his jaw-line which was perfectly shaped. His eyes were closed and he was relaxed which could be made out by easily observing his eyebrows which were giving a pleasant look on his face. His eyelashes were dense, black and long. His face looked even more clear and fair in light. His nose was long but not loose, thin but not crooked and his nose bridge could be observed but it didn't looked weird. Simply if I say then, he looked perfect to me in every sense. But on this question arose in my mind as if a supermarket was overflowing with customers. I am not perfect so do I deserve him? Am I even worth his time and happiness? What if he is not the one with whom I am destined? So entangled in all these questions, I unknowingly started to touch his eyelashes. They felt smooth to touch. It provoked me to touch his eyelashes again and again. I kept looking at him while slowly touching his eyelashes lost in his beauty. Then suddenly someone grabbed my wrist. And that someone turned out to be Yuan. Maybe I had disturbed his sleep by poking him again and again. He looked at me with a stern face. It seemed he was really angry. He pulled me towards him by pulling my wrist which he had gripped but didn't loosed it even after bringing me close. We were so close to each other that our noses were touching each other. With his other hand he tightly grabbed my waist. I asked him "Are you angry?" in a bit scared way. We were looking into each other's eyes. He said " Won't You be angry if someone pokes you and wakes you up in middle of a beautiful dream?" So his answer was yes. But when I heard the word 'dream', I got curious about what he was dreaming of. So I asked him innocently "Well.. would you mind telling me about what you were dreaming. Maybe I can help you end it."

*Readers, this is a tip from my side. Never ever try to do something as stupid as me because this is what we call getting into someone's trap knowingly.*

He said,"Of course you can help me complete my dream. Didn't you wanted to know what I was dreaming of? Let me tell you. I was dreaming of us both kissing. So let's complete it."

He started to move closer to me and that's when the door bell rang. Right at time! I was saved by the milk man. Yuan got up and went to answer the door angrily. I giggled in a slow tone as I heard him scolding the milk man. He said"You fool why are you so late. And why did you came at this time only. Would have coming a bit late or ringing the bell a bit late harmed you? Is someone close to you dying that you are hurrying so much?" He was shouting so loud that our neighbours got worried and came out rushing. They were in middle of their sleep too. They asked"What happened? Why are you shouting on a milk man early in the morning?" When the situation got this worse, I came out too and replied" Nothing! He has just gone mad all of a sudden. You can go and carry on with your sleep." On hearing me calling him crazy, He got provoked more and started saying"How can you say your boyfriend crazy? This milk man is the one who has gone crazy. He rang the door bell when we were about to ki...." I closed his mouth with my hands and said "Look, I said that he has gone crazy, didn't I?" But that didn't worked because they had already sensed what Yuan was about to say. I sighed in my mind because I knew that now Mindy would start. She said"Yuan.... you are more mature than what I thought. I thought you were pure and innocent, but the case is different, isn't it?" Without letting Yuan make a bigger mess for me, I pulled him inside and closed the door. We could hear the milk man go crazy over things that happened with him just now because it was a shock for hi too. And that was the last day he came to deliver milk at our house because that second itself he went to his boss and resigned. Though I flt a bit guilty but I wasn't the one who provoked or blackmailed him to give up on his job. Half of the day was gone just in a second without even giving us any warning. It was evening until we got free from our work. We decided to watch a horror movie and ordered takeouts. Just at the moment when the ghost was about to come, I hid myself behind the pillow and grabbed Yuan's had very tightly waiting for the ghost to come and go. But suddenly there was blackout. I though it was from the movie itself so I waited for few minutes. And then without even looking at the TV I asked him"Has the ghost came and gone?" That was when I got to know that there was a power cut in the society. I sat there still not even allowing Yuan to move. And then suddenly someone started banging on our door very loudly without even waiting for a moment. My whole body shivered as each and every mall hair got straight just like a soldier who had woke up. My veins felt cold and my body signaled me again and again that I was scared. Yuan realized it and hugged me tightly. With his arms covering me entirely, we stood up from the sofa and slowly went to answer the door. We found out that it was our neighbours who were extremely worried. We gathered in the common are and enjoyed star gazing. We kept watching the stars until we started to hear strange voices. We all got close to each other and firmly gripped each other's hands. Mindy asked "Can it be the ghost of that girl" so I said"NO! It is not possible. Ghosts are not real." Then someone started to come towards us climbing the stairs. We slowly went that direction waiting for the ghost to come. And when it did, we all screamed. The electricity was back at moment we screamed. And that's when we realized that the person whom we thought was a ghost was my sister who had got drunk. For a moment I believed in ghosts, but then I got happy to get known with the fact that ghosts are not real. Well it was still abnormal because my sister never drinks. So I walked towards her and asked her what happened. But all she did was to cry. Why was she crying? did something horrible happened? And if yes then what was it?
