my words.. my world..(Chayashree Pathak).

Part 2:  (...On the floor: another letter with her name on it... Read Part 1) Read Part 1 Another letter Maya, I’m sorry. I can't stop myself. I shouldn't care for you… but I do.   I shouldn't have fallen for you... but I did. If you're reading this, I've already left. ---A A sudden creak made her turn  A man in a dark blue jacket stood in the doorway. Not Arjun, someone else. "You shouldn't be here," he said with a  trembling voice---not with threat, but with fear. "Where is Arjun?" she demanded. He swallowed. "Do you know what he did? Years ago? The reason he keeps moving from city to city? You think he is sweet? You think he is gentle?" She took a step back, comfused. "What are you talking about?" The man stepped closer, raising his hands animatedly. "I'm not here to hurt you. I've been tracking him since the last incident. He gets close to someone--fixates on them, and... and it never en...

Part 1: Love at First Sight, or…?  The first time Maya saw Arjun, he was standing alone on the old stone bridge that overlooked the river, hands tucked in his jacket pockets, hair messy from the breeze, staring at the water as if it were speaking to him.  When she approached, he smiled softly. Almost shy. But in his eyes, just for a second....she saw something else. Something cold. Something Intense.  She didn't believe in love at first sight. She believed in books, Monday routines, and exactly three coffees per day. But something about the quiet way he smiled when she asked if he was okay made her pause, just long enough for the universe to slip something into place, as if something fluttered in her stomach, may be for a nano second.  Their meetings on the bridge became routine. Maya read books she barely remembered; Arjun watched the river or sketched in a frayed notebook. He was charming in a broken-boy way, effortlessly drawing out her curiosity.  "Moved her...

Sometimes I am the light  And sometimes I cease to exist like the rays   Sometimes it is about us   And all other times, it is JUST about us   Sometimes we spiral over ‘what if’s   And sometimes it is just how it is  Sometimes when we are together and the world starts to disappear  Ironically we find each other …   And all other times…   it is JUST about us    It has always been JUST about us !

  May be someday our paths will cross Will u smile or just stare and pass Will u look at me with the same way you used to look at me Or this time you will have more questions for me Will you wait till we get a moment just for us to talk Or just hold my hand and start talking The way u used to knowing i am all yours Will you start with a sorry or with your own set of questions  Who knows, may be we both need a closure And may be we dont We may just stay like this…. Ignoring each other’s existence for the rest of our lives.. And hoping our paths dont cross.. Because the storm it wil bring will not leave anything to hold!!

  N o matter how old I am, I don’t think the butterflies and cold feet would ever go away. The nervousness is at its peak when it is finally the “Launch” day of my new book… But not only me, even “Shreya” is equally nervous. And guess who is trying to calm her down? “Riya” from “Till the End of Time”. Riya: So how are you feeling? Shreya: Well… excited and equally nervous. Riya (with a chuckle): I can understand the excitement part.. but why nervous? Shreya: Well nervous because I am not sure if they will love me as much as they loved you... Riya: ha ha ha... Yeah!! I was nervous too! Was worried if they would like someone like me… you know... someone so ‘Riya-ish’… but you know what? I was just being me.. and they loved me and my story!! Shreya: hmm Riya: So don’t worry!!! You be you, and they will love you. And you are amazing. So confident, fiery… Shreya: Yeah.. but at heart, I am just… Riya(putting her finger on her lips): Shhhhh!! Let them find that out!!! I am sure they will ...

 Let us go for a walk Leaving our phones behind.. Just you and I, And just for a while... While we are out, Let us talk about anything and everything... I will talk about the moon and you about your cricket! For a change you talk and I do the listening, Just for a while!! Let us escape to a world we fantasized when we weren't together, Holding hands, walk in the rain... talk and giggle... A soft touch to make me blush... Just you and I for a while! Let us be just you and I for a while, And then we can come back home and worry about the mess, the dinner, the chores... And be all the versions that we have become... But for a while, just be you and I What say? Just You and I for a while?

  Let us do this all over again Let us rewrite our story Let us add another day after our forever Shall we? Let's cross all the bridges, or burn them if need be Let's swim the ocean halfway and take the road we fancied... Let us meet where we always wanted to be, where we meant to be Let us add another day after our forever, shall we? Let us hold each other little tighter this time My fear should disappear at the music of your heartbeat Kiss me with a little more passion this time,  The pain should melt away in the warmth of the love that we feel Stand with me a little stronger, walk with me a little longer Hold me when I stumble, push me when I fumble... Be my Spring, by my Christmas,  Be my home for a little longer... Let us do everything right this time, everything little more, Let us rewrite our story Let us add another day after our forever Shall we? @chayashreepathak
