'What was this new feeling?' Ishani wondered as she pondered over the events in the last one week. Her life had been a terrifying roller coaster, sliding briskly to her dismay providing nothing but pain and a sable future until this morning. She had seen hope extinguishe before her eyes before it was set ablaze in the most outlandish ways. Her heart skipped a beat. Ishani took a deep breath, denying the most obvious as she watched herself in the mirror. The smile of hers not reaching the eyes. She turned back and sat on the bed.

"I want to see you smile. That's it." His voice resonated in her soul, racking a most beautiful havoc as she shuddered the memory. She couldn't decide what this feeling was like... or what it felt to have him around.

It was like the downpour after a long hot day that tormented a lost traveler on a deserted land, bereaving him of any solace.

Being Ranveer around, as he watched her in their room, felt like slipping in a warm velvety blanket in the cold wintry night after a tedious day when the lavish snowcaps adorned the mountain peaks.

It was often like softest of the smiles that surfaced involuntarily on a face that never laughed. 

At times like the cradle of a warm embrace protecting her from the world.

Or at times the tears that rolled down gently out of the eyes of a person that had forgotten to feel.

Several times it was like the touch of two lips as they met for the first time to engender the affection between lovers, sealing the bond with a passionate vow.

Ishani shook her head, keeping her hearts and thoughts in check. She was no poet. But it was all she felt when he was around, scrutinizing her, smiling at her antics or remaining silent as she continued to speak endlessly. Did he never get tired of her stupidities?

She couldn't help but smile at the thoughts, reminiscing each of their moments as her smile widened. Ishaani was completely unaware of the twinkle that flared itself lovingly in her eyes.

She was also unaware of the fact that Ranveer, from outside the door sighed, thanking God for returning her smile back, being thoroughly oblivious that he was the reason behind it.
