AndThey Loved In Paris...

The metropolis, crowded from the over abundance of the night while the sky basked in darkness was yet shimmering brightly. The neon lights, vivid electronic billboards and the ever on coming headlights of the cars were enough to lighten the hours of darkness. The beauty of the city was undefined ; it was the city of lights-Paris.

Outside the Parc de Bagatelle, one of the famous parks in Paris, a girl in her mid 20's was sitting alone on a bench all absorbed in her world. Her eyes, puffed-up and red and slowly a black stream to tear fell gently sloping down her cheeks. She immediately wiped it away with the back of her hands. There was an aura of grey around her and she felt terrible. But the other moment there was a determination in her eyes; she needs to strong. Slowly catching her entire breath she lifted her shoulders, as if there was a giant boulder on her. Grabbing her small clutch she glanced inside; all she was left with were some 20 Euros. Not much, but enough to get over her starvation right now, she thought as she felt her stomach blaze. Glancing around she saw the tranquil street and a few shops which were ready to shut down. Where one corner of the city was drenched in tranquility somewhere in the other part the turbulence was beyond imagination. Where a guy managed to ruin everyone's snooze and make a group of men run like maniacs behind him at midnight; Everyone shouting Voleur! Voleur!" (Thief!). Running through the roads and narrow lanes, the guy was faster and seemed to know every nook of the city. Suddenly taking a right turn and climbing up a pipe, he watched the men running straight in his search. Jumping down after awhile, he smirked removing the hood over his head. Taking out the wallet he grabbed the money and his smirk grew wider.

"50 Euros, Woah! Not bad Rey." He said praising himself.

Walking through the Avenue Montaigne , she didn't know where to go. Her 8 Euros where spent on a sandwich and latte. Now the question was, where will she sleep? On the road? Or some public park? Because there was no one who could give her shelter in this unknown city. Hell she can't even hire a room with just 12 Euros in hand. Sighing deeply she wrapped her arms across her chest. The cold was escalating every minute as the night grew darker. All she could do was shiver in the iciness!

Suddenly running into a hard body she came out of her trance and balanced herself.

"Taani?" She glanced up immediately when a intense voice called her name. Wondering who even knew her in this city?!

"You?!!" was all she could say as her eyes widened seeing the person.

"Yeah me! Rey. In case you don't summon up my name." His lips pursed in a thin line and gazing at her intently.

"How can I even forget your name, you bloody thug! You were a filthy thief and I guess that's what you still are and will remain!" She spat curses gritting her teeth as a sudden rage took over for the guy in front of her.

"Mind your tongue Taani, think before saying anything else you know it won't be good for you" Rey grabbed her shoulders bringing her closer, making her arch back a bit.

"Take your dirty hands off me Rey! I'm least interested to have any conversation with you." Loosening his grip he watched her walking ahead while his nose flared up in fury.

He was about to walk away but then saw her stop at the end of the lane sitting over the bench there and panting for breath. His brows furrowed in confusion, he definitely didn't want to leave her sight. She has always affected him more than those dollars and Euros which were no less than drug to him. Spying on her he waited for her to head home but there was no sign of her moving. He went closer and saw the serene beauty in deep slumber, her head arched back and hands draped across her chest. It was then that he noticed red marks on her neck and wrists and saw her smeared kohl. At that moment thousands of questions were running through his mind, he knew nothing that she is going through. He was definitely sure that he can't leave her here by her own in this deserted area with icy winds ready to freeze her.

Without even thinking for another minute, he removed his hoodie, enveloping her in it and carried her swiftly in his arms. Getting in the loft-sized room, he shut the door behind him and carefully laid Taani on the small single bed. Putting the quilt over her he watched her snuggling in the quilt as the warmth engulfed her. He couldn't help the smile forming on his face. He got another comforter and laid down on the floor right beside the bed but sleep was far from him today. After meeting her, how could he not drown in the pool of past?

Studying in the same college, some three years back they definitely were more than friends. Well, that's what he thought. She was the only girl who made his heart do flips! The way she blushed every time he came in front of her... darn! Who couldn't see the clear chemistry between the two! It was after he proposed her and she slapped him cursing and finger pointing him that all he is, is a disgusting bandit. And just the other day he saw her hook up with one of the guy in his class and it was no less than a nightmare for him. Yes! He used to steal things, precisely money and that's what he still does! What do you do when you're an orphan but wish every f**king resource handy for you! For Rey, taking away just some money from the Richie rich' people won't lead them to poverty, will it? And that's what irked Taani to zenith. She hated him, at least that's what she showed when she came to know about him.

With the crack of dawn, Taani opened her eyes as the sunrays hit her. She was shocked as well as confused when she saw herself in a small house. Definitely she didn't come here last night by herself. Then how? Her confusion soon vanished as she saw Rey entering the room with a packet of hamburger.

"Morning! Had a good sleep, didn't you? Here...have it" He forwarded the packet to her ...

"You...You... How dare you bring me here?!" instead of replying, she squealed out as if he just raped her! Oh my!

"You mean the bench was much comfortable for you than my bed? Well then, I don't think I would have let you sleep there on the bench giving every passerby a free show!" He started with humor but ended with a heavy serious voice. For a moment Taani couldn't help but remain silent at his words of concern. Somewhere in the back of her head, she was thrilled that he cares so much for her even after what she did to him. But then regaining her conscious state she decided to ignore him. When suddenly the hamburger in his hand gave her a weird feeling! She rushed to the only door she made out was the washroom and threw up in the basin. Her energy seemed to have drained out; that's when she saw Rey rushing in with a glass of water and stroking her head. She passed out right there in his arms while it scared him to the zenith seeing her worn out condition.

She got up as she felt the water on her face and saw the fear in his hazel orbs. Hastily getting up, she started walking towards the door only to be pulled back by a confused Rey!

"Where do you think are you going?" he asked her with his furrowed brows.

"My home! Now leave me" she swiftly lied to him in a dead tone and freed her hands from his. He again grabbed her wrist and asked in a concerned voice "You are not well Taani! Stop behaving like a kid. Stay until you get well! Else tell me where you live, I'll drop you!" He sounded adamant.

"Why the hell do you even care Rey?! Why don't you just let me die or do whatever I want? Just leave me alone all of you" she screamed out as if it was all inside her. Weeping out she let the tears flow and fell on her knees breaking his heart into million pieces. That would be the last thing he ever wanted to see or even hear!

It scared and irritated Taani that why the hell is this guy so bothered about her, when the one who should be, doesn't even knows if she is dead or alive! The guy whom she believed blindly and thought he would love her like forever, left her like a piece of shit! The same guy who told her what Rey does for his living, that he is nothing but a damn thief! And the next day proposed her as if his life depended on her! And then what after these three years? He used her, made her pregnant and kicked her out of her own house! Bloody heck! Everyone's the same! How could she then believe any guy in the world.

Slowly kneeling in front of her he cupped her cheeks and looked straight in her eyes.

"You know it better than me Taani, why I care for you... you know it! You know I love you and I need to know what it is that's bothering you . Tell me or I have my ways"

That was it, she could see the sincerity in his eyes and knew that she could open her heart to him. Falling in his arms she sobbed and narrated everything with endless tears.

"I'm pregnant Rey, and no one in the world will accept a s**t like m.." that was the final straw for him.

"Taani" he roared as if Taani just accused him, "dare you use such words for yourself! For that ***hole, dare you even waste a single more tear! When I said I love you, it wasn't bound with terms and conditions, I don't care if someone has broken your virginity or if you're carrying someone else's child! All that matters to me is you, my love is unconditional, today and even three years back and it always will be." There was slight moistness in his eyes while the words came out almost like soothing whispers.

There was silence between the two as Rey kept stroking her damped cheeks. For Taani, she didn't know what to say. The beautiful words by him was all she could think about, and his eyes, which never failed to portray every emotion in his heart! His gaze trace every inch of her face, from her forhead to her small nose bridge and then it seemed to be stuck at her succulent lips. Both couldn't help as their breath hitched in their throats. Taani unconsciously glanced at his lips and the other moment she closed her eyes. He saw her closed eyes and quivering lips, which were inviting him. Slowly decreasing the gap between the two, he could feel her chest heaving his as he rationalized the gap between their lips. Just sucking on her lower lip in a slow pace he felt the soft feather move over his upper lip. Both drowned in a world of longing and passion. There wasn't any lust. There was just love which was healing their wounds. Slowly parting away, and breathing heavily both looked in each other's eyes! There was just a single fear in her eyes and he knew what it was.

"Money isn't above you Taani. I might be a filthy thug or bandit or whatever you call but you know you have the power to make me do anything. And so, from here, I want to start a better life with you. Only with you. All I want is a single chance" He said with a pleading look but the other moment he was taken aback when Taani flew her arms around his neck and chanted those amazing words in his ears, which sound no less than music to him. "I love you Rey. I love you...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry for behaving so curt" He tightened his arms around her waist whispering lovely things to soothe her and shush her.

It was indeed a new beginning, a beginning where one's tranquil world will be filled with the music of other's , where the two will be together at every step of life.

At that very moment, the city again lived upon its second name; Paris - The City of Love!
