WHO IS HE? The intimacy
Daniel's point of views :A short moment of eye contact and then that small smile on face.That's OUR intimacy.Just moments like these have become the most favourite part of my day.I don't take them as hints. Absolutely not!My heart is no longer looking for meaning in those gesturesI am just grateful for them.I don't know if I still have a chance with her or not. Honestly, I am not expecting one either.Her forgiveness is enough for me.Just loving this new change in our bond."The driver would drop you to college" I told her."Thanks," she said with a smile.With that my eyes were only on her as she stood up for leaving. Take care rose. God! I would miss you.LATER THE EVENING :Rose rushed inside the room straight as soon she was back.What's the hurry? I wondered.In about ten minutes, she walked out of the bedroom dressed in a red mini full sleeves dress.Where is she going?It will soon be dark. It's not safe, especially considering the circumstances we are dealing with."
WHO IS HE? FAILED?
Daniel's point of views :We failed?I was stunned on my spot.The grief is so strong that it has shook all of us. We thought we had it all in our control. We thought we had saved her.But we were SO WRONG!Another murder.We failed her.Sorrow pierced me to the core.With a heavy sigh, chase said in low voice"He managed to get Stella. By the time we reached her place, it was... too late." "Not just the basta*d brutally murdered her but he also challenged us leaving this message for us" chase added.Message?Swallowing, I peeked my head up to look at the white screen in front of me and as soon I did that my hand fisted into a ball and muscles went rigid.I could feel my breathing getting excessive.It showed words written on the wall with blood that said "You are right! Rose is next" It felt like someone had pushed me off the cliff and the sinking sensation followed by the hollow feeling.I was aware my face was turning cold, I probably looked like a pale white ghost.I am scared.
WHO IS HE? comfort
Rose's point of views :The serene quiteness made no difference to my thumping heartbeats.As we walked together,My mind was still trying to absorb what just happened back then.Ominous thoughts filled my mind likeWho was he? How long will this continue? I hate to feel so vulnerable everytime."Don't worry. You are safe now" I heard James saying.I exhaled a deep breath and just gave a nodI don't have much to say.Daniel should have been with me by my side.I couldn't help vex about that too.Where did he go all of sudden?"This area is clearly not a safe place. You should have at least called your husband to pick you up from the club" he said then in his evident British accent."How did you know about the club?" Jessy asked immediately"I guessed it seeing the attires" he replied back.Okay.."Um, my husband did insist but I refused him" I replied back softly."Thank god that you were there" Jessy said."Yeah" We bid bye to James as we reached out building On walking upstairs
WHO IS HE? Why me?
Rose's point of views :And then he told me everything...How he was appointed for this mission to find the mysterious murderer that has been brutally murdering women since months.How they found out that I was one of his targets and that he was chosen for my protection.Frankly, I was scared. Infact, I was terrified when he told me about Stella's murder.I couldn't help but wonder How sick could one be to do something so brutal!How could someone be so inhuman?Only a sheer devil would do something so sinful.Heaving out a sigh,"Why did you have the knife that day? Did it belong to the murderer?" I asked him.He nodded back and replied back "We had confiscated that knife from the spot on the night when we saved Stella earlier""And that night, I heard you stopping someone to burn someone alive. Um, what was that?" I couldn't refrain from asking."That was just another criminal we caught the night before. My colleague loses his cool easily but nothing of the sort happened" he replie
WHO IS HE? What changed?
Rose's point of views :"Damn! Will you please get out of your Dreamland, rose! It's getting annoyed now. What has gotten inside you?" I heard Jessy's complaining voice."It's nothing" I said softly and couldn't hide the smile I still have from the last night."Seriously? What changed overnight? The last time I saw you, you were this grumpy and worried young woman and now, you have this irritating goofy smile plastered on your face even while staring at this stained white wall" she exasperated.I looked back puzzled.Is it?I couldn't even tell."It's something related to Daniel, right?" She asked then with folded arms staring right back at me.I could feel my cheeks getting hot, reminiscing about our conversation last night.Of course, mostly the end part of that."We just had some talks." I replied softly "OH MY GOSH! Did you tell him you wanna give your relationship a second chance? What did he say then? How did he react? Tell me. Tell me everything!" She asked back enthusiastical
WHO IS HE? A picture
Rose's point of views :Almost running downstairs, I found Jessy talking to James.Just when James looked past Jessy towards me and then waved at me with his characteristic smirk smile "Hey" He suddenly raised his camera and clicked a picture of me making me momentarily startled on my spot.I had to blink a couple of times to regain back my composure" It's rude to click picture of someone without the permission. Please delete it." I told him straightaway."Come on! Just one picture" he said with a pout."I need pictures of every beautiful thing in this city. You are one of them" he added then.My eyes simply widened as i stared back lost for words now.He added " I am sorry. My bad! That was too cliche!""Remember when she said that she is married, she was actually serious that time, James" Jessy intervened.She sounded upset though."Oh...okay. I was just kidding" he said with a titter laugh which we reciprocated."It's okay but please delete my picture. I really don't like it" I
WHO IS HE? Enough?
Midnight scene from the living room :Daniel's point of views :YET ANOTHER MURDER IN THE CITY!Murderer still free! BEWARE!The POLICE MAINTAINS SILENCE ON THE MATTER!The headlines of every newspaper screamed the same thing.Things really has got out of hand after Stella's murder.Citizen's faith in us are shaken. Their rage is justified.Sighing,Disappointment can't even begin to explain what i feel inside about the whole thing.For the first time in my life, I am dissatisfied with my work. This feeling really sucks.Stella could have been saved.We'd have saved her only if we hadn't assumed she was safe.That was our fault!We lost an already won battle.Sighing, I placed the newspapers back on the table and moved towards the balcony.I have always enjoyed observing the skies and the twinkling stars for peace but tonight even they made no difference to my heart.Is it me or is the night indeed gloomy tonight? Gloomy.Just how rose describes those stars up there.God!Even when
WHO IS HE? A link
Rose's point of views : It's been two days since I shifted back to this house. Things have been pretty smooth thankfully.Daniel hasn't left the house since then but he has been busy, more busy than ever. I have least seen him in the last two days.He only comes out for food but hardly talks.Knocking on his room's door, When I turned the knob,My mouth fell so fast i wondered why didn't I feel the touch of cold floor.Oh dear god..His room was a mess.There were piles of files on his desk.Pictures of possibly every victim on the walls and paper balls thrown down on the floors. The windows were shut. It was sheer darkness.It did not feel very homely standing here.Nothing like when I used to stay here and more like some secret investigation room.God!This is madness.The dim lights in the room already felt bothering. Finally noticing my presence,"What is it? Are you okay?" He asked in a soft voice, lacing concern.His eyes had bags. He looked like a mess himself, every bit of

WHO IS HE? I love you too?
Daniel's point of views :Seeing her after so long and just being so close to her, It felt as if someone up there finally answered my prayers and I only wished that the night never ends.Confessing my love was just in the fit of impulse with no expectation.I have confessed my feelings to her innumerable times before too but she never reciprocated them. I have always believed that love is not something that needs to be chased or forced on. Thus, I have always respected her feelings even though it killed me to push her away.But now, when she said..."Daniel...I love you too"Everything just freezed for me. I couldn't believe my ears. For a second, I thought I was totally imagining it.I felt so unsure if I heard it right.Those words are what I have been longing to hear her say since eternity.Did she actually just say it? It still feels unbelievable!"Huh?" Yes! That was my response.She chuckled clearly seeing my flushed expression."I love you Daniel" she said again with a smile i
WHO IS HE? The right one
Rose's point of views :He finally looked up. He had his mask on that covered half of his face but as soon he looked up, those deep as ocean, brown eyes met mine and it was as if the time just stopped.I already knew who he was.And then finally...He took off his mask.A soft gasp escaped my mouth and my hands instinctively went down.He is here...Is he really?Am I dreaming? I pinched myself. It did hurt.He is actually here standing in front of me staring right back at me. He has changed. He looks different with a grown beard and long hair that reached upto his shoulder.Yet his stare still had an effect on me.With his gaze firm on me, he said nothing but simply stared back unblinked. While I couldn't form words too.This feels unreal.Why do all the fairytales feel true each time he looks back at me?"Are you okay?" He asked back in voice lacing concern that got me out of my trance.I noticed how my breathing has gotten rapid now.His expression wasn't his characteristic stoic
WHO IS HE? caught
Rose's point of views :It's 3 am,The world out there probably half slept and half awakened.The freezing chill outside my living room's window, moonlit desk by my bed, I am observing everything. Inside, it isn't completely dark even with the lights switched off.I am sleepy and tired yet lingering to stay awake in my living room, observing the CCTV footage. Can't miss the chance. One irrefutable evidence is all i need.Jesse is pretending to sleep in my bedroom with her back facing the window. Not only did I need her for the plan but I also lacked the courage to do it by myself. She was aware of the plan and all we are doing is just waiting for the right moment.Apparently ,Nothing strange has happened so far. Or am I missing something? I couldn't tell.With another yawn eluding my lips, when my eyes shifted back to the laptop's screen, I noticed the uncanny finally.I moved closer to the screen and my eyes gradually widened.A shadow?When I slightly zoomed in to my bedroom's
WHO IS HE? Neighbour
Rose's point of views :New day, new morning.Weekends are finally over and unlike others, I don't get Monday blues.I like my work.My work is like an escape from my reality. The reality that has nothing to offer but loneliness. Hence, I look forward to my work. I look forward to meeting new people, to know their story, to give my contribution in their life to bring a good change and to take a lesson for me to keep on continuing. There are too many silent sufferers out there and I want to reach out to them. Help them!That has been my driving force for a year. That is what has kept me going.I paused for a moment to look at myself in the glass window.Hmn. I look normal. So normal that nobody would ever guess that beneath the facade lies a perfectly flawed woman with a broken heart.That's good!With a sigh, I walked ahead.Walking outside the narrow lane, as I crossed the road to reach the bus stand, I saw a similar face staring back at me.Being not a very social person, I often
WHO IS HE? Nice guy?
Rose's point of views :Not belonging is a terrible feeling. It makes you feel awkward. Never thought I would have such a feeling sitting in my own living room.Letting out another soft yawn,But I really don't belong here. These are not my people.I feel stuck in this Crowd with the majority of the unknown faces. Time to time, my eyes instinctively went to the wall clock. I'd rather have prefered to be alone reading a book and eating the leftover pizza in peace than sitting in my crowded living room, sipping alcohol, looking at the bunch of nincompoops dancing to the deafening music."Will you stop being grumpy?" I heard Jessy talking.I gave her a glare."When I had said party, I didn't mean you taking a corner in the room cursing under your breath. Just relax and enjoy" she said. "It's in my nature to stay in a corner and just observe others." I replied back."Come on!" She said,"I still don't understand the purpose of this party" I told her, annoyed by her over persistent natur
WHO IS HE? crazy?
ROSE'S POINT OF VIEWS :Next morning started with the continuous sound of the doorbell that woke me up.Looking up at the wall clock, I realised I slept longer than my usual time. The terrible headache made it even worse."What a perfect start of the day!" I whined getting out of the bed.With a loud growl, I walked towards the door.I knew who it could be.Who else!It has to be the most annoying person I know."WHAT?" I growled unlocking the door."What do you mean by what? I have been so worried for you since last night. How could you just hang the phone like that? What's the matter with you?" Jessy blabbered."Could you please lower your voice. Damn it! I just woke up" I told her with gritted teeth."I understood that by noticing your grumpy self. I got you breakfast. Get ready and come out fast" she said in a lowered voice this time."I am not hungry. It's my day off. I will eat my breakfast for lunch. So thanks and now just leave me alone" I snapped back "You are more grumpy to
WHO IS HE? overwhelm
Rose's point of views :There are times when longing for you overwhelms me Daniel and I think of you with clenched teeth because it's just so frustrating!That's exactly what happened today.Mike was indeed a great guy. He was calm and composed and so well mannered but the problem was me. I couldn't help but compare him with you. The way he talked, the way he smiled back, the way he was groomed today, I judged everything and compared everything with you Daniel like you are the top notch bar I have set for me and then somehow his charm just faded and I just ended up missing you even more.After that, I declined his offer for a second date.I felt bad doing that but I just couldn't say a yes.It's all your fault Daniel!I wonder when will I stop searching for a smile just like your's and wonder when will I stop looking for the familiar spark which you used to have in the eyes of others.Why is it so impossible?I let out a sigh walking down the lane. I don't know if you have really m
WHO IS HE? Second chance?
Rose's point of views :"Will you hurry up?" I heard Jessy growl."This is my best speed. Besides, we are just going to a cafe nearby so what's the hurry?" I replied back simply."I have a date later on. I have to get ready for that. I haven't even decided on the dress yet" she said."Another date? With whom? The same guy you met last month? What was his name? Sam? " I asked back."No. This one is a new one named Jason. I met him in the library last week." She replied back as we moved out of my apartment."Wow! That's fast! Until last week you were with Sam and now Jason. Must say You move on really fast" I commented."Well, you should too. Daniel isn't coming back after all" she replied as we got settled in her car.Ouch! That pricked!Gulping the lump of emotion i felt,"I...i am not waiting for him either" I retorted back."You don't have to lie. Not at least to me." She replied back while driving."I am not lying!" I told her straight away.I was."Okay, Great! Because you should
