A trap! 😲 Active thread because there's an inactive one where I wrote the old story. But okay 😆 I'll update in a bit once I catch up with replies.

re-reading it as a new story..loved this story, it had an unconventional plot and character of Geet..glad that you are continuing it.
Geet is back, she seems to have a rich and famous background for many people want to use the acquaintance to boost self-importance in the society..
but Geet herself seems to be a cold, callous, impassive personality now with a i-don't-care-a-damn attitude..still the past memory disturbs her.
very intriguing update..for what purpose she is back and who is he.

Impassive is a perfect fit. I don't want to give much away so all I'll say is thank you for being here again. I hope you don't remember too much of it from before!

It was hardly a paragraph, yet I felt zillions of emotions as I read through those lines.

She sure has a story, not the one they say about her, but the one she shares with nobody it seems. A tale of its own, and I don't know why the irreverence she shown might put her across as arrogant most likely but she comes across as a woman who had had sorrows deep buried.

When her heart squeezed painfully, so did mine.

Can't wait to read the story!

❤️

Your comments are as beautiful as your stories. Humbled to have you here.

Ok now that I have gotten that out of my system let me say what i truly felt.😆

First of all I am super excited to start a story by Zarin.

To paraphrase a line from Jerry McGuire you had me at Rumi.

I love the depth behind the simplicity of his poems.

The whole update somehow gave me an impression of a sultry Marilyn Monore isque figure.

An actress who has achieved fame and success after skipping her hometown leaving a blaze of scandal behind her and now she is back with furs on her shoulder, lips painted a cherry red and a cigarette danging from those perfect lips.

The irreverence intrigues me. Is it an act of defiance or simple dutch courage is what I want to see.

The illusions you have created have drawn me in and now I am intrigued and hooked😃

I remember almost not using the poem because after it was used in Rockstar, I saw it everywhere. But that itself gave it texture, another layer, so why not... :)

You know when you're tough and brave to be defiant to those who are waiting for you to crumble and are offended when you don't? Yeah...

So happy at the prospect of seeing you more often, Di. For that alone, I'll keep updating 😃

"Yes i have seen her.Yes,she is exactly as they say."
The lowly mortal beings that we are bringing a little piece of her myth to our own lives helps in drawing attention away from our problems and provide a sense of power even if it is momentary.

She was blowing the smoke towards him in one deliberate,irrelevant movement.
She still knew where the carving was across the floor,on the counter at which he sat watching her now.
Does he have an advantage of knowing her from the past??Or has he come to know her through the spreading smoke?

How many of them actually remembered her from those days?She sure as hell didnt remember them.
If she doesnt remember them neither would they unless there is something very much unforgettable about her.

Her heart squeezed painfully.
I agree with Ms.Veil here. There is a lot of pain behind that smoky haze that she carries with herself. Only time and mirrors will reveal .

What role does he plays here? Will he be the one to reach beyond the smoke?

This work piques my interest.An intriguing piece.Commendable job! Looking forward for more.

I don't know if this is true for anyone else but having my work quoted back to me is a huge compliment. Thank you for taking the time to read this story. I'm so lucky to have readers like you🤗
