Ever feel so traped that you know anything anymore. You have everything you can ask for: your finacillay stable to support you self with your needs, you have family, awesome friends, and a boyfriend. Yet you just want to leave everything behind and be free, Well that is how I Riddhima Gupta feel.
At 1:00 am I am sitting in Starbucks with a coffe and my laptop trying to finish my story for my next book. Other then me, a guy across from me too engrossed in his book, and the music of linkin park playing on the radio Starbuck is empty and quiet. It is helping me calm myself down and think about what I should wirte for my book. This book reflects my life, and i know the character Samiah is exactly me.
I start to look around for inspiration and can't help but lay my eyes on the guy engrossed in his book. He is wearing black plastic glasses, and gryishbluish eyes. He looks like he doesn't care about anything else. He reminds me of my other character Asif, who doesn't care about the world.I can't help but stop staring at him, he is handsome, i know i shouldn't stare at him its rude but i can't help it. The next second he looks up, and catch my eyes. I couldn't breath everything suddleny stoped, I couldn't stop staring at him, I didn't want to. I ever did this before stare at a guy like crazy Not even with Sid, my boyfriend that i love to death no matter what.
My phone started ringing: it was Sid. I saw the guy walk away so i cut the call and went after him. I was hit by the cold air and snow and the Cristmas light. I know it was a stupid move following him, what if he was a creep or something but i couldn't help myself like always. He reminend me of me Asif too much and i need insight in his character. I called out
"HEY YOU"
He turned around "Yes"
I didn't know what to say but i knew i had to say something " can I talk to you, I need inspiration for my book and you inspire me you remind me of my main character and i need insight for it can you please help me. I know you must think i am a werdio and all but yes i really need to finish this book so can you please."
" Umm sure" He looked at me with his brow raised and a confused look.
I Smiled" thank you"
That how our frienship begin. We talked for hours on the phone everyday, and will meet up everyweek. I learned a lot about him. He loved Music, and reading. He also fell in love with an older girl that his parents din't approve of, they alomst kicked him out of their life so he had to break up with the girl he loved to death.
He was hurt and deppresed just like me. we wanted to be free of being pressured from family, we wanted to fit in, we had people all around us but no one to notice our problem.
