Her day started like any other normal day. The same old routine, waking up in the morning, getting ready, making food, taking care of everyone's need, going to the caf, taking everyone's orders and then walking back home at odd times in the night. Her life had nothing to look forward to, she had no friends and her family was as good as strangers to her. She did everything for them but none of them had ever acknowledged her efforts. She had wanted to run away so many times but had always felt indebted to them. She was adopted. They had given her a new life, a family, a roof to live under and the least she could do for them was help them out in this hard time. Her father had suffered from a heart attack and now, she was the only earning member of the family.
Now, here she was walking back home at 11pm, thinking about how her life changed a few weeks ago when she got to know about her illness when it suddenly started raining and she saw a lone figure, walking towards her.
*********
He was a man of words. He didn't believe in the saying 'actions speak louder than words'. In his world, words were what mattered. He was like any other human who wanted to love and to be loved. A shrewd businessman, known for his arrogance and mind to crack deals. His parents had died in a plane crash leaving a 14 year old boy with his elder sister. His sister was his only family and the only person for whom, he was ready to bring the whole world down. He had grown up to take up the responsibility of his sister and himself.
2 years ago when he was called to a college for its fest, he had seen a girl in her early 20's who he was instantly attracted to. He had made sure to find out everything about her, her name, age, family, everything. But unknown to him, he had missed the most important thing about her. Since that day, he had silently looked at her from afar, when she walked back home from the caf. He had never had the guts to go up to her and tell her what he felt for her.
But that night, making up his mind, he walked towards her, maybe towards a new life.
