BLINDED PURSUITS
Prologue
Amid the yellow of marigolds, a flash of pink had caught his attention, such that the hazy movements, he thought were a mere illusion. It took all his self control to curb his thoughts from wandering off in a direction, he knew would lead to nothing but annihilation of whatever he was able preserve. The creased forehead , scrunched up brows and rage filled eyes, all spoke of his turmoiled state. And then there it was again. The similar pink that stood out in the yellow of the festivities. And now, not only his interest in the being donning pink, but his curiosity too urged him to have a closer look . And despite all his restraint it was inevitable for him to move where that very person of his interest now stood, resting against the flower ornated pillar.

Not having the courage to address the pink cladded figure directly, he moved a tentative hand in order to jerk out the closed eyed resting figure of her tranquil state with the very idea of ending his reverie. But a sudden push, and his hand had moved unintentionally swiftly, yanking the back of what he thought was a figment of his imagination.
"S..So'Sorry S..Sir?", said a very flustered Adi who was now all ready to face the consequences, of which his boss' ire filled eyes clearly spoke.
However, unknown to him was the fact that the petite resting figure as a result of a sudden tug now stood turned around, to inquire of the one responsible for what she regarded as a brazen act.
"M...Maan!", her dazed stated permitted her to utter only that much. And that was enough, for him to corroborate his apprehansions.
He had thought of insulting her, shouting at her , ridiculing her even if he had to stoop to a level he wouldn't have allowed himself to go to in a circumstance otherwise. But to his shock and Adi's and her surprise, he had walked out. Of all the things that he was all set to do once faced with her, to sate his frenzied emotions, he had simply walked out!
