WHO IS HE? A day with him
NEW DAY :ROSE'S POINT OF VIEWS :Loud sneeze*"And that's the twentieth time"I thought in mindFinally, I saw Daniel coming out of the room on his wheelchair. He didn't look fine. He looked pale and dull yet was all ready to leave for work. Unbelievable!"You don't look good" I said with my eyes on him while he just nodded back in response not meeting my eyes.I walked towards him and placed my hand over his forehead. That took him by surprise."Hmm. Looks like you have a mild fever. Okay. Then it's done. You are taking a day off today" I declared taking the seat right next to him.He looked back astounded.After a moment or two of no words exchanged in the room, he finally found his lost voice "Uh, I can't. It's an important day at work today. I have..." He was saying when I cut his words and said in a stern voice "Nothing is more important than your health. You are taking a sick leave today and that's final"At first, he stared back at me looking completely dumbfounded! I wouldn
WHO IS HE? The night!
THE NEXT MORNING :Rose's point of views :I have been avoiding Daniel as much as I can since yesterday. To be honest, he really freaked me out.I still couldn't comprehend what happened yesterday. Was he really just kidding? Sighing,In one swift move, I took a hold of the knob, turned it and opened the door to walk in the bedroom only to get frozen on my spot.Daniel was changing and thus was shirtless on the stool in front of the mirror Quickly shutting my eyes, I turned around. I was too mortified to react in any better way. Turning around, when I opened my eyes to face the opposite side of the room,"Um, I am sorry. I should have knocked first" I apologized immediately. "It's okay. I am almost done" he replied back in his usual calm tone and did not seemed bothered by my presence.I could still see his shirtless front in the mirror reflection in front of me and that sight was enough to get my heart beat faster.Swallowing, I tried to avert my eyes but I couldn't. I just couldn
WHO IS HE? The big hint!
One late Sunday afternoon :Rose point of views :I have almost given up on the idea of stalking him already in just four days. Apparently, the three almost sleepless nights waiting for him to leave has taken a toll on me.Letting out another yawn, I thought furtherHe did not go out late nights nor did I find anything odd in the last four days. Of Course because of college life, I couldn't stalk him the whole day but as much as I could, I have only seen him going from home to the laboratory. He was back home on time too.This isn't how I expected it to be. The over-tiring process and the futile results are now crushing down my will and determination to find the answers.Taking a deep sigh,I turned to look at Daniel who was busy working on his laptop in the living room"Confronting him would have rather been an easier option" I told myself in mere whisper staring at him Sighing,"But that would have been futile too" I muttered under my breath.How would I ever get my answers this way
WHO IS HE? TERRIFIED
Rose's point of views :My heart skipped a beat as I read the message.It was clear he is up to something and that something is gonna happen tonight.I stood rooted on my spot with my eyes fixed on the chat message which said "Tonight?" And Daniel has replied back "Yes"Heaving a sigh, I placed the phone back on the table carefully.This is it!This is the opportunity I was looking for.Something gonna take place tonight and I just have to wait for it to happen.Tonight, I might get the answer.The answer of the biggest question 'Who is he?'LATE NIGHT,Scene from the bedroom :Had retired in bed a long time ago but was still widely awake and patiently waiting. Deafening silence has completely consumed the room. It was so ludicrously quite in the room that the wall clock's clicking sound could be heard loud and clear.Sighing,He was supposed to go somewhere tonight. It's already past 2 am.Why hasn't he gone yet? Is the plan canceled? Just when I heard the beep sound of his pho
WHO IS HE? The villain
Flashback:She moved a step back. There was fear in her doe like eyes. He despised himself for causing that fear. Why is she scared of him? He would never hurt her.She looked back at him as if she has seen a ghost. He called out her name "Rose.." He was gentle than before. But she started hyperventilating and before he could do something, she fainted.End of flashback.Present scenario :Rose's point of views :"Did she have proper dinner?"I blinked my eyes open. My vision was blurry. Fuzziness has clouded my mind.I could hear faint voices in the background."She seems to be in a state of shock"It still felt fatigue and puzzled.Shutting my eyes back lightly, i felt better."Her Blood pressure had gone low. Make sure she intakes a lot of fluid. She'd be fine." The unfamiliar voice.That followed by complete silence.Then, I felt someone's hand caressing my forehead.Dizziness was re-surfacing.Just then I heard a familiar soft voice saying"I am sorry" Before it all turned com
WHO IS HE? Don't !
Later the evening,Rose's point of views :I was busy with the college assignments when I heard the sound of the telephone ring.Quickly getting down the bed, I walked towards it and picked it up saying "Hello" But I heard no response from the other side."Hello" I said again for the second time.Still nothing.Strange!"Who is it?" I asked once again but got no response back.Sighing, I placed the phone back down.Walking inside the bedroom, I dialed Daniel to know if he had called for anything.As soon as he picked up the call, I asked him straight away "Hi, did you just call on the landline?" "No," he replied, sounding puzzled.Strange!"Oh okay. Because someone just called but did not say anything hence I thought..." I was talking when he abruptly interrupted me by saying "Rose, how many of your friends have got the landline number of our house?" Huh?"Uh, just Jessy but why would she call on the landline number? She always calls on my mobile." I replied back, finding the ques
WHO IS HE? shush!
Daniel's point of views :"Rose, Listen to me very carefully. Shut every door and windows of the house and don't cut the call. Okay?" I told her.I was losing my composure now. Something I never did before."Don't cut the call, rose. Okay? I'd be home soon" I said once again. "What's happening?" I heard Rose's timid voice and my heart clenched.She was scared and I absolutely despised it.I would definitely cut him in half if he gave her even a scratch. "It's nothing. I am on my way home. Please, Just do as I say" I tried my best to assure her that there is no danger but however i couldn't convince myself.With my thundering heartbeats,I was already on my way home. Rose's point of views :"What's happening?" I asked back, staying frozen on my spot.I couldn't help feel puzzled, anxious and perturbed."It's nothing. I am on my way home. Please, just do as I say" he requested on the phone. That instantly made me feel a bit relieved.Eluding a soft sigh out, I walked out of the bed
WHO IS HE? Our moment
Rose's point of views: I didn't fail to notice Lucy's features stiffening at my question"Why do you have a gun with you, Lucy?" But she quickly managed to gain her composure and replied back with a titter laugh" It's for my safety. I cannot carry a frying pan everywhere after all" However that made no difference to my still pounding heart.I was still baffled with everything that just happened. "Strange! I did see someone outside" I muttered to myself."Well, whoever it was, he is gone now. So, you don't have to worry. Daniel is on his way too. Let's go inside." She said in a low voice, placing her cold hand on my shoulder to comfort me and with that we walked towards the living room.I obliged.SCENE FROM THE LIVING ROOM,After a few minutes, Daniel entered the living room in his wheelchair to find Rose settled on the sofa lost in her thoughts.His eyes were now fixed on her.His gaze roamed appreciatively from her head to toe. On noticing someone's presence in the room, she in

WHO IS HE? Different
Rose's point of views :Time flies.Tomorrow is our eight months dating anniversary.Yes...It's been eight months since I moved in with him.It's been eight months of us dating.Heaving out a soft sigh,A blissful eight months I can say.We got to know each other better.And,Day by day,Piece by piece,Slowly and soundlessly, I fell in love with him deeply.I realised that Daniel is more than just a charming, sensible, Mr. Always the serious, stoic expression guy that I used to think of. He could be funny and romantic at times too. Yes! Romantic too. His tender caresses and those passionate kisses take my breath away and leave my soul in a never ending trance.Anyways..The best part is that he totally gets me.It's hard to put it into words what it's like to be with him.For me, he is like a shade that I can walk into, anytime life burns me.I have never been so 'Me' before him.There is never an effort with him. Basically, our bond grew stronger over these eight months.Or so I t
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
