Prologue
He stood up wiping his hands in his apron. He sighed as he squatted his legs sitting on the verandah of his shop. He just stared into oblivion as the sun settled down. It was almost the time of dusk. The End of the day. Just like his life. Hopeless and Lifeless.
Five years before he would have never thought he would ever landhere in future.
'Why was he here?' He simply didn't know.
He couldn't decide anything,anymore in his life.
It's just as if Life forced him.
He had none to live for'' None todie for'' None to save'.. None to protect'' He went on self lamenting. It was true in all sense.He was a lifeless soul.
"Boss'." Someone called him.
"Yes'.. Rehman!" He replied in hisdejected voice.
"Aunt Bella is here'.." Rehman replied politely with his head bentdownwards as always out of respect'.out of habit.
"Rehman'!" He spoke sternly seeing Rehman like before' "Don't' We aren't'..!!!!" He warned Rehman.
Just then an old lady entered chiming the door bell.
"Is Anyone here? Is the shop still open?" Aunt Bella asked in her sweet voice with her evergreen charming beautiful smile.
"Anytime for you''." Rehman smiled placing her order on the desk.
"Please have a seat Ma'm''.!!!!!" Rehman said offerring her a chair.
"Thank you ! Phew! This old age has taken almost all of my strength'. " Aunt Bella cursed herold age as she sat on the chair.
"Here's your order'..!" Rahul spoke in his loud voice.
"Rahul'." A stern voice was heardagain.
"Oops!!" Rahul bit his tongue, "Sorry Boss!!"
"Mmm It smells really nice'' Bossy has made it Right?" Aunt Bella winked at Rehman who smiled and winked back at her.
"Really sulking'.." Rehman whispered.
"Hmmm I understand'." Aunt Bella whispered back.
"But mood is bit okay now after preparing your order'." Rehman smiled.
"Before your order'." Rahul dreaded remembering THE BOSS.
**************
"Anytime for you''.." The words still echoed in his mind. He came back to his favorite place'.. Where he had HER.
"Anytime for you'" The words escaped from his lips in a trance.
"Missing me'." A sweet melodious voice rang in his ears . A smile touched his dry lips.
He turned his head immediately, "You're Back'..!"
"Yes I'm back''!" She replied'. "For you'.!" She kissed his forehead.
He closed his eyes savouring the moment.
"Where you had gone..?" He almost cried '" Leaving me'.!!!!!" He rested his forehead on hers.
"I never left you !" She kissed his eyes.
"I am always here''!!!!" She placed her hand near his heart.
She hugged him, "I love you'..!" Tears escaped from his eyes. He engulfed her in his embrace neverto leave her.
"Boss'."
"Why are you calling me Boss?" Heasked.
"Boss are you okay?" Rehman asked.
He opened his eyes to find Rehman giving him an understanding look.
"I need some time Rehman'.!" Hespoke as Rehman reluctantly walked away.
"I miss you'." Just then he saw something unique. A white rose amongst the red rose plants. It was as if the Unique white rose attracted him.
'She was as fresh as this flower'.' He remembered, 'Angelic' Beautiful'. Princess'.' He whispered .
The white rose reminded him of their first meeting..
Just then'..
"BOSS BOSS BOSS''." Rahul came insde running and panting.
He immediately hid the rose behind him.
"Calm down Rahul, What happened'..?" He inquired.
"I'I'. Goons'..Guns'..!" He panted eating away half of his words.
"Goons?" Now he was alarmed., "Tell me clearly'..!" He commanded.
Rahul gulped. "Uncle Khanna'. They killed him''." Rahul spoke avoidng his scrutinizing look.
"Are you hiding something Rahul?" He spoke tightenng his fist . Rahul could now visibly see HIM.
"I saw HER with them''!" He spoke as he saw his hold losening. He walked away with a forlorn look.
HE took out the rose'. "Just that our positions are exchanged now?????"
