OS- Our Haven'..for Jay(Task-5)
I was sitting in my regular place in my haven. It was a small area canopied by trees with a stream running on one side.
Perched on my throne as I liked to call the rock I was trying to cajole my mind into understanding the words of the line which going by my nature I should have finished 3 days ago.
Well my mind refused to listen. It kept on straying back to the ruthless stranger I had seen today. At how easily he had broken the heart of the college beauty.
Not that I liked her. But a heart is a heart after all. Even if it belonged to a complete bitch like her.
"Poor Tanya" I said feeling sorry yet not so sorry.
A rustling from the right alerted me. A shadow was heading into my haven. Suddenly the subject of my thoughts emerged from among the trees buttoning up his shirt. He seemed to be completely engrossed in the job (or was it something else?) that he didn't notice my presence.
"Ehem" I cleared my throat.
He looked up. If he was surprised he didn't show it.
I raised my eyebrows in a questioning manner.
"What'.this isn't your property right" rude sexy voice.
"Not as far as I know" I replied back in the same manner.
"Means I can be here" he eyed me as if daring to challenge him.
I merely shrugged and diverted my attention back to the unrelenting book.
"So do you come here often" a question which sounded more like a demand.
"Yes this my haven you could say" I replied a tad too boldly.
"Haven huh'.what's so special about this place" scoffing with a little amusement.
"Nothing'I enjoy being here so this is my haven" my eyes were still trained on the book.
"Hmm" a agreeing grunt.
"So you don't enjoy social life much is it"
Did I just hear an expectant tone?
"What makes you think so?" finally I shut the book. My mind wouldn't budge from the scene in the morning.
"Its five in the evening most youngsters will be gearing up for party or date'.you are here with a book which doesn't seem to interest you'.not hard to deduce"
I smiled inspite of being irritated by his questionnaire.
"I do have friends but I do not go out much" Why am I offering an explanation?
A brief smile lit up his face then it immediately went back into the arrogant mode.
" I should be going'.and guess I will have to find a new haven"
I got up dusting myself.
"Why are you fed up of this place or is it my intrusion" his eyes twinkle.
"Well you have already deduced that I prefer to stay alone" sarcastic without intending.
"Well I won't pretend that I haven't been here before'.in fact I have been watching you for days'.this was my haven even before you found it" amused accusing tone.
"Oh then why didn't you tell me earlier"
A casual shrug was his only answer.
I sighed and turned back to go.
"So do you mind making it our haven"
This time the expectant tone was evident.
"I don't even know your name" I shrugged.
"Names are only a manner of recognition'.what matters is the intention'.Jay Khuranna by the way" ruthless stranger said.
"So do you mind sharing this haven with me'.don't worry I won't be around much" assuring.
I again found myself smiling and most surprisingly agreeing to him, an arrogant heart breaker.
"Okay then" I said
He turned and walked towards his path. At the start of it he turned and gave a smile, which strangely pleased me very much.
