Her Enigmatic Smile.
Her enigmatic smile is worth ten pages of dialogue!!
Rudra was thinking --- " Maya, my mysterious mermaid, there is nothing I would not do for you. I would let you walk on my life with those wicked heels I would trail behind you on a leash or on my knees if that's what you want! Only one other woman ever smiled at me this way! A repressed smile. A prudent glare that wrecks me with guilt, for a crime I have yet to commit! And I am wondering why I have to sit at night and contemplate how to send her out from my heart! “Do this, do that”-- you neigh with that horrid half-smile that say’s, “get to work my dear domestic slave” I reflect intently on my lost freedom. Consider how to end this dilemma. Give up?? Accept the defeat before the actual competition starts? Or something more radical. Anything to remove that infuriating smirk from your face. Who am I kidding? I will still take your smile to my grave. At least want to live with it when you push me down!"
She had mastered her delphic smile, writing down the wandering thoughts around her eyes. No one ever questioned her except one person! He saw in her eyes, the windows to her soul, and held her as the facade crumbled into a real grimace of pain! He was trying to define her smile!
"Am I awfully greedy, is it a sin to win a heart to get everything from life. I want to be a normal woman, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to be happy and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… it seems it is difficult to get all that I want. Is it a grave mistake to smile at my own self?” Maya murmured to herself!
Rishi's lies baffled Maya! He played the honesty card to make her believe his love! She kept letting him lie. The first time she saw the image of his father on Rishi's face and traits in his words! He didn't pay attention to what might be going through her mind. Inside is pain and hurt from all that has gone before returned like a lightning, hit her hard and shook her from the core! Which blinded him for a moment! Then something amazing happened, she smiled back like an innocent chic!
Scrupulous was her heart, dexterous was her art of work and strong was her indignant will!
Usually, when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about change.
