HIS FATAL SHADES (BOOK-TWO) Or a memory?
Or a memory? With a start, she woke up hefting and breathing still somewhat in a daze. What was it? Of the dreams, she had been having for quite a few weeks now: this indeed, the certain dream seemed so real, so vivid—it seemed as if this was a part of herself. A part of the life she had in the past. Was it really a dream? It felt too real to be a dream, though. It was a dream where a part of her life was shown to be sharing with someone she couldn't just remember or pinpoint.Catching her head in her hands, she managed to breathe through her mouth while closing her eyes to calm her pounding heart. A part of her life she couldn't recall at all had emerged from somewhere through her subconsciousness.“It must be because I have been thinking about all of this continuously. Yes, that could be it.”Because if it wasn't. It couldn't make sense to her. It was more confusing than dismaying. A lone small sweat strolled down from the side of her forehead to the length of her chin. Catching he
HIS FATAL SHADES (BOOK-TWO) Some unforgettable moments.
Some unforgettable moments. Some unforgettable moments are the ghosts of the past, haunting us with their beauty, their pain, and their lessons that taught us things that come our way unexpectedly. Not only that, but they are the echoes of our lives, reminding us of where we've been and where we're going. In the words of William Faulkner, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." I felt that to my very core. The same was the case when he was born into our lives. Because he had come with a huge happiness, increasing it tenfold. I couldn't forget the first time when I held his tiny form nestling between my arms. He was just one day old when I had almost turned sixteen. It was such a sight to behold, which I still cherish the most till my last breath. It was straight away a sixteen-year-old age difference between us. Leaving much more responsibilities on my shoulder as his big sister. Truthfully, even if I had to sacrifice my life for him, there would not be any second thoughts b
HIS FATAL SHADES (BOOK-TWO) Her first laugh after months.
Her first laugh after months. I sucked a bated breath the moment I noticed his presence behind me. When did he even enter the room without my noticing? “Hello there, little one.” Swiveling my head to face the sudden intruder, what I saw made me gulp down my frustrations. And, here he was standing there with hands behind his back—locked together, his face having a goofy smile, shoulders all relaxed, legs apart as he regarded me with obnoxiously black pools of his eyes. There was a storm lurking around his blackish orbs. His gaze was piercing as if looking straight through my soul. “It has been a while since the last time I saw you,” it was a statement. “Do you have any idea how much I have missed you, little one?” He stepped closer. At that explicit sentence, I started to panic. What was he here for? “Didn't you miss me?” “I—” I grimaced at his intrusive behavior. “Sssh… it's alright. You don't have to confess. I know you did,” he whispered abruptly, silencing my inco
HIS FATAL SHADES (BOOK-TWO) The devil's touch.
The devil's touch. Only when my laugh subsided did I notice how hard my lower abdomen was hurting after laughing so hard for so long. At that moment, I failed to decipher what to think anymore. Feeling strangely weak and vulnerable. Soon after, my mind appeared to have gone blank, as did the voices inside my head. It was calming for once. I undergo an urge to close my eyes and go to sleep then and there. I inhaled the peacefulness that I was awarded with in that moment. It felt like an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city. For once, I wanted to live in it.Until his calm and softly spoken words reached my ears. “I almost forgot the sound of your laugh. It is the same as it was once, though. So full of life.” Oddly enough, after hearing the same things continuously, it didn't make me snap at him anymore. More than three people had already brought up my past. It didn't seem to have angered me as much as it did two days ago. Perhaps I was getting used to the comparison between t
HIS FATAL SHADES (BOOK-TWO) Us?
Us? “I said, don't laugh!”He didn't listen and continued to make fun of me. Frowning deeply at his audacity, I managed to get away from him. Sauntering away to sit on the sofa, I totally ignored him while unconsciously keeping my eyes on him just to make sure he didn't pull anything.Weekly I murmured, getting fed up by his laugh, “You brought yourself here..just to make fun of me.”“Oh, no. I wouldn't dare to do that. Now would I?” Blinking, he cleared his throat. Following my footsteps, he sat down as well in front of me.My brows furrowed together, but I didn't respond to him. Silence. We sat there in silence. None of us said a word to the other. And it stayed for some more minutes, until he decided to break it."I have arranged a meeting with your uncle tomorrow. He will be here by six p.m. sharp in the evening." Immediately my ears perked up at that. "He would? You did what?" I asked, stunned. I was astounded into silence because I really didn't trust the words he told me th

26— Unbound truth! (Part-1)“Death is the ultimate truth of life and there is no escaping it.”—Saumya Tripathi“He is now at home, living his usual lavish life and doing just fine. What can you anticipate from a diabolical rich boy such as himself?"What? It couldn't be. It felt like my ears were deceiving me because it couldn't be Awdhesh that I knew. “Or he must be plotting something against me; I wouldn't be surprised though,” he completed. “Always been a jealous brat.”He was ridiculed, which wasn't what caught my attention but something entirely different. Why did he say that?My eyebrows drew closer. "What?" I denied it straight away, shook my head, and frowned while looking into his eyes to gauge what he meant from it. "No. He comes from a middle-class family. He works hard to ensure his family has two to three meals a day because they couldn't afford that by themselves. He works three jobs to ensure the wages are enough for his younger siblings. Moreover, how do you know hi

His arbitrary mind. Two hours later. Uzair was in his apartment, drinking Bourbon with a cigarette hanging from the corner of his lips, already lit up. Leaning across the chair with his elbow propping on the table, he exhaled the fog of smoke in one puff before taking another sip from his snifter glass. He took a glance at his watch. It was nighttime. His lips curled up in a smile with his eyes drawn in a contemplative half-mast. His wild hair fell all over his forehead as he sat casually, thinking nothing in particular but everything his mind could conjure at the moment. He was indeed a man of discipline and determination. Also, a man of steel who never was accustomed to bending to anyone unless it's a member of his family. His devotion to his family was frighteningly known, however. His whole existence was to thrive on the blood of the enemies that threatened to demolish what he had built over the years. Even the slight inkling that carried the danger in their wake was enough to
