The cold wind of the chilly night caressed my skin gently as I stood in my room staring at the moon in my balcony.
He thought running away was an easy getaway than answering my question,I can't help but wonder if I was dreaming because all of it felt vague at the moment.I already exhausted my entire energy thinking over the events that had followed today and I wasn't going to use the little energy I had left to dwell on the events of some minutes ago but as I sat down on my bed ready to go to sleep I couldn't help but begin to reminisce the kiss that Mr.Intruder decided to leave on my nose.I obviously was astonished with his behaviour but I could still feel the tingle on the same spot he left a peck on and like a déjà vu warmth spread over my cheeks again.

Lost in my thoughts with long gone the idea of sleeping I began to wonder whether or not It was him who barged into my room the other night too and now that I think about it,I did felt that I had seen that eyes and have heard the voice before and now as I put two and two together the answer was clear as a white sheet.
He was such an unpredictable man I have ever come across I bet nobody on earth could predict what's his next move going to be.

He comes and goes as he likes, does he not know how to sit and converse like a normal people?Does he not know what a door is or what is it for?I have met a lot of people in my life but I don't remember to have met someone like him ever,why does he have to be so-so him.? I can't help but cringed at my thoughts.
Although I wouldn't admit it loud but ever since my eyes met his in the canteen on my first day in space,It hasn't been the same, there's been a constant conflict between my heart and my brain.Its like my heart's telling me one thing and my brain is telling me another and i think it is easier said than done when people advice you to listen to your heart when there's a fight between your heart and your brain, "I mean how would I know which voice is of my heart and which is of my brain?" I could really use some help on this but I bet anyone could help me with it.
I have always been a confused wreck on the matter concerning the both.
You are lucky if you could make out between the voice of your heart and your brain otherwise you will just be another confused wreck like me.

Its just been a day or two since I came back and it already feels like months.I have spend a lot of years away from my family and my country and honestly it feels content to finally be home.
I don't know what was I thinking when I told my mom and dad about my plan to study abroad because let's just be honest,there wasn't a day that passed that I didn't think of or missed my family and my close ones but I wouldn't say I ever regret my decision because I don't.I met so many wonderful people and have made so many friends that I could rely on,we have made so many memories together which I am going to cherish forever.Some people in your life are worth cherishing no matter the distance and besides I don't think I would ever forget them considering we are still in touch.
Life seems beautiful and convenient when you are surrounded by your loved ones regardless of wherever you stand and however the situation is they say and I couldn't help but grin at that because ever since I came back,life has indeed turn more beautiful and content than it was back in high school.Although I had wonderful friends back there and not to forget my aunt and her family who took great care of me like their own daughter but still no place and people could replace my family and India.
Although it took me a lot to settle and adjust with the environment there and besides I was just 15.
And as I walk down the memory lane the memories of my first day lay still fresh in my mind,I would never forget how people there used to make fun of my accent at first,it was funny as I think about it now but as I grew up to the environment I changed and so did my accent with time like they say "change is the only constant in the world" I adapted a tinch of American accent which of course my brothers would tease me about whenever I would call home or FaceTime and Even today! I shook my head with a smile as I gather all the memories.
