Canvas and Brushstrokes

Aman was a blank canvas. You could take charcoals and draw lines on the canvas, and that would be his new identity. Creating new identities was an occupational hazard of being a spy for the Indian Army, and so was meeting people and walking out of their lives without leaving behind a trace.

Nanki was a slate with marks of old pain drawn in red paint. Trusting new people was a hazard to her heart. The last time she had trusted someone, he had sexually abused her, and they had told her that she had a sexual vibe. She was thirteen.

But when they met near the Holwell Monument, Aman knew he had to break her heart. When they met, Nanki knew he would break her trust and shatter it to pieces. But Nanki had never met someone like Aman, so enigmatic, so beautiful. Aman had never met someone like Nanki, so destructive, so beautiful.

Some couples weren't destined for happily ever afters. Their stories were left incomplete.
