WHO IS HE? Scared
Rose Point of views :A kNIFE?With my eyes now wide opened, I felt myself frozen on my spot. My heartbeats echoed in my ears and my breath was hitched.Why does he have a knife in his suit pocket? I frowned."Are you okay?" Daniel asked in a calm voice yet it sent shivers down my spine.My mouth felt dry. On lifting my gaze to look at him, i noticed his narrowed gaze on me and thus quickly averting my eyes from him, I just looked down keeping a straight faceDid he figure out that I had seen it?What would I do if he did? But well, that can't be good.I swallowed hard, wishing I could just disappear in the air.Nodding in response, I somehow managed to stand up on my feet."I'd go get ready for college" I managed to say somehow in an audible voice.Excusing myself, I paced as fast as i could walking inside the bedroom.TWO HOURS LATER,In the lunch break,"A KNIFE?" Jessy asked back, clearly astonished to hear about it too."Yeah and could you please lower your voice. You are too lo
WHO IS HE? WHY?
Next Day.Rose's point of view :Scene from the college,"He lied? Really?" Jessy asked again puzzled."Yes" I simply said."So, you mean to say that he just simply refused to accept that he carries some unique kind of knife around with him." She said again."Yes. He said I might have mistaken a pen as a knife. Can you believe him?" I told her."Did you?" I heard her asking back immediately then."WHAT?" I was bewildered by her response."I am sorry but it could be a possibility. Why would he carry a knife with him?" She replied back with a frown.I narrowed my eyes on her and said "Not you at least." "Okay. I am sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you are lying. But maybe....uh, you are mistaken." She replied with hesitation."Yes because I am that dumb, right?" I told her in a louder voice with a glare."Oh, come on! You don't have to get offended" she whines."You know what I don't want to talk about my weirdo husband especially not with you anymore" I said and with that moved to w
WHO IS HE? Bad guy?
Rose's point of view :It's 3 am and I still cannot sleep. How can I sleep when I am sleeping next to a freaking creep! I couldn't help but think over his words over and over again.What could he mean by " You wouldn't want to know"Is he doing something dangerous? Something illegal?"I shouldn't have married this psycho" I whined inwardly."Calm down, Rose!" My mind screamed at me.Shutting my eyes tight and fisting my palm, I tried to calm myself but it didn't help me at all.Sighing, Maybe I am just over-thinking. Jessy could be right. He must be carrying the knife for his defense and maybe he is too shy or may be just ashamed to accept it.Yeah and that conversation, well, he must be just kidding! Yeah! That could be it. Honestly, I really need to take a break from the habit of over-analyzing things. It is really exhausting at times. I doubt everything, even my own doubts. He isn't that bad. He didn't force me into this marriage. He is giving me my needed space. He is also hel
WHO IS HE? Change of heart?
New Day.Rose's point of views:Scene from the college,Walking towards the table with our food tray in hands, I turned to look at Jessy only to find her staring back at me intensely."Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow"Like what?" She asked with a raised eyebrow."Like I have got horns on my head" I replied being annoyed and she just rolled her eyes at my comment."I am just curious." She replied with a shrug."About what?" I asked back."You did not mention a word about Daniel today. Is Everything finally okay in your life?" She asked back."Aren't you intringed?" I told her. "Can you blame me? Usually life after marriage is mostly all about romance for some but in your case my friend, it's a thriller-mystery.How ironically true that is!Sighing, I finally told her " Yes. Everything is fine." I cannot risk telling her for two reasons. Either she wouldn't believe me and would call it rubbish that would kind of discourage me to go against Danie
WHO IS HE? The first step
Next day,Rose's point of view :Walking out of the room, I heard Daniel talking on the phone with someone.He looked quite serious."Patience is power my friend. Don't worry about it. Yes, I will be there" i heard him saying in a stiff tone.On noticing my presence, he was smartly cut the call"Good morning" he said smiling back at me then."Don't mind Daniel but you don't sound like a scientist on the phone" I told him quite bluntly.His change in the expressions said he clearly understood what I meant."Really? What do I sound like then?" He teased "Like some skeptical character of the book" I told him.A light laugh eluded his lips."Well, I am glad that at least something about me makes you curious, " he replied."Honestly, a lot of things about you makes me curious" I said straight away, meeting his oceanic blue eyes."Well, um, anyways do you need a ride to college?" He asked.Clearly, he doesn't want to talk about it anymore hence diverting the issue."No, I'd manage." I said
WHO IS HE? New Day
NEXT MORNING Rose's point of view: Scene from the dining area,"So, do you have plans to surprise me yet again today?" He asked after taking a sip from his coffee.With a playful smile, I leaned a little towards him and replied "Do you want me to?" His eyes crinkled. Shaking his head in a clear no he replied back in a strict tone like a parent "I want you to go straight to college today. No more bunking" I simply nodded like an obedient kid.He turned to leave pressing a button on his wheelchair while I just watched him leaving.It was pointless to stalk him today. Clearly, he is on high alert mode ''Sighing, I was about to leave for college when the phone rang.It was Jessy."Hi. I was just about to leave for college. What's so urgent?" Rose asked her."College is cancelled today, Rose. We are all now leaving for the funeral" she said in low voice and a gasp escaped my mouth out of shock.Funeral?I froze on my spot."Whose funeral?" I asked her back in a barely audible voice.
WHO IS HE? lie?
Rose's point of view:The next morning when I woke up, I heard the sound of a running shower in the bathroom.I guess Daniel is back. I looked up at the wall clock. It was past 9 in the morning. I decided to go and make breakfast ready until then.AN HOUR LATER,"Hmm, nice coffee! " Daniel said after taking a sip of his coffee while I just smiled back in response. Picking up his phone, he started scrolling through his phone when I asked him straight away"Where did you go last night?"I observed his posture stiffened as soon as I asked him that. He just stared straight without blinking at first and then he slowly turned to look at me with a stoic expression that soon turned into a puzzled one in a blink.Meeting my eyes, he replied back with an expression like I said something absurd "Me? What are you saying? I did not go anywhere""Really?" I asked him back with knitted eyebrows and he just gave a confident nod."You were not by my side when I woke up in the middle of the night." I
WHO IS HE? uncomfortable
NEXT MORNING :Scene from the Dining area,Daniel's point of view :I could feel Rose's heated gaze on me from time to time.She is definitely up to something. Wonder what she has discovered now that's making her so uncomfortable at her spot.She has a keen eye for things. She should be an agent for the government. That's like the perfect job for her.Sighing,Right now, I just wanna know what has actually sparked the sudden curiousity that neither she can take her eyes off me nor she can sit in peace.Rose's point of views :No matter how hard I tried, it was hard for me to breathe around him ever since I discovered that he was actually lying to me all this time and that there is a possibility that I could be right about him being involved in something dangerous or illegal. Basically, I am back to square one of feeling a little uncomfortable in his presence. Actually...Definitely more than a little uncomfortable.Yet, my curiosity made me peek at him from time to time.What if he is

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
