Sahil didn't say anything, but the hug said everything. He trusted me; he believes me, and he was with me, whatever happens, that's what the embrace implied.

I feel like a huge burden has been taken off my chest, the pain is out now and probably, I still have a second chance to live. Live my life, for the first time, not caring about all the shit that happens, feel free, live without guilt and regret, and enjoy every single moment. I can be anyone I want, and I won't be explainable to anyone. I could live carefreely and be alive every single second. I feel the power that I have never felt before, the energy that I have never experienced before, running in my blood. I have made up my mind to live every single moment, and no one can stop me from that.

A smile automatically creeps into my face when Sahil released me. He looks into my smiling face and leans in until our foreheads meet; and whispers: "Things are going to be so much better."

I nodded, smiling still.

Yes, things are going to be so much better.

He pulled back, and I immediately longed for him to come back, and that sent stupid tingles again. And butterflies flew in my stomach.

What was happening to me? Was I...?

"Well, this calls for a celebration, " he said, interlocking his fingers with mine. I smile again, but this time it was for the re-uniting of his hands with mine. "Where do you want to go?"

"We will go for brunch? And then, let's figure out the next place, shall we? I am damn hungry, " he said. I smiled at the cuteness of his expression.

He led me to the car, not leaving my hand once in the process, and opened the passenger seat for me. He walked back and sat on his driver seat before making his dark hair a bit messier and wearing a cooling glass. He drove the car whistling slightly, I chuckled. However, I could not take my eyes off him; he looked...hot.

Ayesha, he is your friend. Stop having such weird thoughts about him. I mentally scolded.

We had a great brunch, and as usual, for the next place, we went to Juhu. How much I loved that place, you have no idea. Without this place, I don't even know if I would be alive right now. If I would be happy right now, or if I would have Sahil in my life. How much ever I visited this place; it always had a serene beauty in it that I could never get tired of seeing. The elegance unfolded in front of my eyes. It was magical.

We spent as much time we could in the shade of trees enjoying its serenity. A vendor selling tender coconuts made his way to us; he asked us if we wanted to buy it. We brought two coconuts and sat on the grainy, coarse sand drinking it and soothing our throats with the cold refreshing liquid. It felt heavenly.

Sahil sat real close to me, and when a wind just blew, I couldn't move my strands of hair because my both hands we're engaged. He bent forward and brushed the strands of my hair, back of my ears,
