Nick, your dad and I decided about your and Ruth’s marriage, seeing you two always used to stick together as if made for each other.” He spared a glance at Ruth’s direction while talking. Ruth turned into crimson red as she was blushing badly. While playing with a strand of her silky hair, Ruth was looking at Nicolas’s direction again and again. But Nicolas had a really unreadable expression on his face, that was not helping Ruth in no way to read his mind. After a little pause. Mr. George Austin continued, “So you didn’t know anything about it. But I guess now you both are matured and-”
Mr. Austin was busy in explaining as detail as possible when Nicolas stopped him in the middle and interrupted in a very surprised to

Pak! Pak! Pak!Nicolas was pressing the horn continually to clear the long line of cars in front of him. An annoyed expression darkened his handsome face. No matter how much he honked from behind there was no way for him to reach home fast as the line was really long and seemed endless. Sighing he stopped the car engine then looked out the window while running his fingers through his hair.Exactly on the opposite of the road a bookstall drew his attention. He was staring outside blankly, when his mind was busy replaying all the incidents of the evening. He sensed an odd twinge of disappointment. Somewhere deep inside him, he knew that no matter how much he was going to fight Dad was never going to listen to him. Since his childhood, nobody gave any value to his feelings, his desire, his wishes. His parents always forced him to do what was going to be beneficial for them and fo

(Sunday Evening)Ding-dong! Ding-dong!The continued sound of the bell made Daisy to come out from her bedroom, running hastily towards the main door."Stop Helen. Don't do it.. Trust me, I don't have wings," Daisy shouted from the stairs. But her reply didn't effect Helen at all. She was so busy pressing the calling bell that she didn't bother to pay any attention to Daisy. Daisy mumbled while opening the door, "Uggh!! This girl will make me insane. Crazy girl!"With a very low mechanical sound the door opened and immediately Daisy saw Helen standing exactly in front of her. She was wearing a navy blue wrap skirt with a V-neck yellow Boise which was exposing a portion of her perfectly shaped belly. Her beautiful face was full of energy as always. With her usual br

Exactly before leaving the library, Daisy turned her head and shouted, looking at Lucas, “Lucas, see you soon. I have some important business to attend.”“Alright,Daisy. No problem,”Lucas replied back in a gloomy tone. Disappointment was clear in his tone. He didn’t like Daisy’s reaction hearing Nicolas’s name at all. Yet dragging a force smile, he replied to Daisy. But Helen already followed Daisy instead of staying in.Before leaving the library, Daisy wished the librarian a good night in a hurry and ran towards the direction of the road.Helen also followed Daisy. When Daisy reached outside the library, there was none on the vacant road but soon her eyes caught the sight of a tall familiar silhouette. The guy was in a black ironed shirt, walking towards the directio

Daisy asked, suppressing her astonishment, “Nick, What happened? Why did you leave the library without even meeting with me? Is everything alright?”“Yes,” Nicolas replied in an extremely cold tone without even bothering to look at her. She noticed his unresponsiveness. His voice was like an echo from an empty tomb.“Then why did you leave without even meeting me? Has something happened?” Daisy asked in a slightly tensed tone. As if she was feeling the heat of the fire that was burning inside Nicolas. She experienced a gamut of perplexing emotions.Nicolas turned his head to look at Daisy.
After The Storm. 86) Helplessness.
Daisy looked at the person in front of her with a very surprised and startled expression. The person in front of her was slender rather than tall. He stood tall and straight like a towering spruce. He must be around Daisy's age or a few years older than him. His restless energy of youth was clear from her movements.With a shaky voice, Daisy asked, looking at his stubborn and arrogant face,"What do you want from me? Why the hell are you standing,blocking my way??" The person gave her only a gummy smile, showing his crooked teeth. Then he whispered slightly bending towards Daisy's direction, "Miss! We have some urgent business with you. It will be great if you will silently co-operate.""Exactly we don't like forcing anyone,” Another voice talked exactly from the behind of Daisy, startling her to the cor

Nicolas entered inside the bar with a clouded expression and headed directly towards the bar counter ignoring all the luring calls of the extremely hot and sexy girls who were increasing the heat on the dance floor with their sensual moves. It was really difficult to look away from their snake like moves which could drive any guy crazy."Two large pegs of scotch," Nicolas ordered in brief, sitting on a chair in front of the bar counter.The bartender immediately replied with a smile, "Yes sir."Nicolas nodded his head slightly in agreement and turned his head back to look at the dance floor. Those girls were all wearing the same dance costumes, extremely revealing. It was not very hard to guess that the bar had their own dancers and might be along with that they used to provide other services.
After The Storm. 88) Are you real, Nick!
Nicolas stood up from his lying position and peeked from the tower to look down at the deserted part of the beach. The sudden faint sound of a female crying for help startled Nicholas as that was the first time he heard any other person's voice at that place except his own. He used to think that part of the beach was so deserted that most of the people didn't even know about its existence and it was also far away from locality and city so basically hearing girls' voices at that hour of night was totally unexpected for Nicholas. Though that part of the area was famous for small cases of loot and stealing but never experienced something like that before. Except the loud sound of of the police siren of the police van which usually used to come for raiding that place, Nicholas heard no human sound before that day in that particular area which he used to consider as his secret and personal base and he used to run away there every time he used to feel
After The Storm. 89) Drawn by a Magnet!
Daisy was standing aimlessly behind Nicolas and she was too lost to understand what to do and exactly how to help Nicolas. She was worried for Nicolas but in that darkness she couldn't even see how Nicolas was doing. Her eyes were bordered with tears. A suffocating sensation tightened her throat. She felt guilty and helpless at the same time. After all Nicolas was in danger because of her only. The pain in her heart became a sick and fiery gnawing. No matter how badly Nicolas hurted her she was thinking, 'Never. I can never be so selfish as to harm my friend. Nick has done already a lot for me. Now I'd anything will happen with him, I will never be able to forgive myself.'She closed her eyes feeling utterly measurable when the surrounding was filled with t

“Mom, you are looking so beautiful. I am worried that you will steal the limelight tonight.” “You little punk! Are you jealous of your mom now?” Daisy asked teasingly while combing the raven black hair of Dawn. Dawn was looking like a little male doll in the fancy black tuxedo. He looked more like Nicolas in that formal clothes. “Of course I am. if you steal all the attention then nobody will look at me, “ Little Dawn complained while caressing his mother’s cheeks. But after a tiny pause, he added while pulling Daisy’s cheeks, “So soft. My mommy is the best.” Giggling Daisy patted her son affectionately. Then placing a quick kiss on dawn’s cheek, she stated, “And you are the most handsome boy here. Happy Birthday, my little dawn. Mom loves you the most. Now go and attend to the guests.

“Who are you?”With a charming smile, Nicolas knelt in front of the little boy and picked him up from the ground. Then place a small kiss on his chubby cheek, Nicolas replied, “I am your mother’s friend. You can just call me Uncle.”“Mother’s friend! My mother never talked about it or I have never seen you in my house. Why should I trust you? Mom said not to talk with strangers. What if you are also an evil stranger who wants to steal me,” the kid immediately complained, pouting his lips. But his eyes were scanning Nicolas’s face, after a little pause, he added with a relaxed expression on his face, “But you don’t look like a kidnapper though.”“Really? So how do I look?” Nicolas asked with his mysterious smile. He just met with the

“At last I found you.”Startled, Daisy looked back and saw Nicolas was staring at her with a devilish smirk on his face. She saw the heart-rending tenderness of his gaze. Daisy immediately tried her wrist to set free from his grip forcefully but his grip was so strong that all her attempts went in vain.“Don’t try. I am not going to leave your hand anymore,” Nicolas murmured in his low and weak tone. There was a maddening hint of arrogance in his tone.“Let my hand go. Why are you awake? You should be sleeping to recover first,” Daisy replied in a shaky tone, inhaling sharply. The sudden touch of Nicolas caught her off-guard, making her shiver in familiar awareness.Pulling her a little closer to his body, Nicolas whispered, stil

(6 years later. In Santa Ana)“Madam, a new patient has arrived from an accident case. He has lost too much blood and is in critical condition. You have to come,” A nurse in white dress entered inside the cabin and stated in an impatient tone. From her tone, it was clear that she was in a hurry.“But my working hours are over already. It is midnight already. Where is Dr Park? Contact him and ask him to come,” the lady doctor replied while packing her bag. That day was quite a long day for her. She had six long surgeries that day and then checked on the other patients. So she was already too drained after so much work.“Hello, Dr Park, there is a new patient. Come as fast as possible. He has already lost too much blood,” the nurse already started calling when the lady doctor came o

You just calm down and wait for him.”“I am already calm. Just tell me where is Nick?” Daisy murmured impatiently.Alex replied from behind in his calm tone. “He is on the rooftop. But I will suggest that you shouldn’t meet him.”But even before Alex could finish his sentence Daisy started running in the direction of the rooftop. On the way, she collided with a few students from th
After The Storm. 115) Where is Nick?
With the loud sound of the alarm on her phone, Daisy woke up from sleep and found herself on the bed of the hotel room. Squinting her eyes several times sleepily, Daisy sat on her bed, rubbing away the sleep from her eyes.“Ugh! My head! What’s wrong with it!” Daisy murmured while holding her head. Her head was feeling extremely heavy at that moment and it was hard for her to open her eyes properly.Checking the room with a glance, Daisy decided to sleep again. There was no sign of Helen in the room. Even her bed was neatly organized so it was clear that she didn't return yet and the clock was showing only 7 am.Daisy laid down again and instantly fell asleep. The heat of her body already reduced at that moment but her cheeks were still red like tomatoes and there was a small red hickey

Blood! Crimson Blood soaked the yellow t-shirt of Jason.When Daisy, Nicolas, Alex and Helen reached outside the hotel, they found Jason lying under the shade of an empty shade of a closed food stall. There were rarely any visitors on the road at such late hours of the night.Jason was lying in a pool of blood, pressing his right hand on the wound of his left hand which was bleeding badly.“Jason! Oh my God! You are bleeding so badly,” Helen cried, kneeling next to Jason and pulling his head on her lap.“Let’s take him back inside the hotel. He can’t walk as his left knee is also injured so we have to carry him,” Alex stated, standing next to Nicolas who was examining Jason with a curious and worried expression.
After The Storm. 113) Beach Day!
As the first ray of the sun fell on Daisy’s face, squinting and blinking her eyes several times, Daisy, at last, managed to open her eyes. Sleepily she turned her head and found Nicolas’s handsome face just inches away from her.He was still asleep but his one hand was wrapped around her waist and they both were sleeping only in their undergarments. A sly smile curled up Daisy’s beautiful lips as the memories of last night flashed back in her mind. Last night was really special for her, different from any other nights of the past. She never felt Nicolas so deeply like she felt last night.After staring at his handsome face for quite a long while caressing his cheek, Daisy set herself free from his embrace as carefully as possible, not to wake him up and then stood up.Instinctively her eyes shifted

“Sorry!”Alex immediately interrupted them, while dusting the sands from his clothes.Then while stretching his body and yawning tiredly, Alex added, “No way I can stay awake anymore. I am also returning to the room.”“Ok, then Daisy and Nick have fun on the beach. We will just head back to our rooms,” Jason replied excitedly while dragging Helen along with him.Nicolas immediately asked in a confused tone, “Then where will we go?”“Exactly? Do we have to share a room with Alex?” Daisy asked in a confused tone.With a gummy smile, Jason answered back while scratching the back of his head, “Yeah! Something like
