|The petals when felt, feelings burst through our chest, high and low jumped some fluttering insects, an instrument drumming against an involuntary mess. Oh my cupid, did you want me in hell with such a mischievous attempt!|

She loved Aryan Mallik.

The stranger who she wasn't meant to be with. The preparator who caught her sight when nobody else did. The man of her dreams and the tranquilizer to her nightmares. The vision of her future yet the irony of her present.

The regretting pang in her heart offensively knocked down her feelings because nothing could possibly happen.

Aryan Mallik and Ruchi Batra's world ran in the parallel universe. They were destined to never meet or she thought.

They were two different rivers that flowed in the opposite directions which are never meant to mingle.

And wasn't it just about her one-sided feelings. What about Aryan? She wasn't a fascinating object in his life if not for this abrupt halt in their vacation. He can never reciprocate the same feelings for her.

While Ruchi was promised to a man whom she wasn't even close to. She is supposed to get engaged to him in a matter of a few days.

Why was she muddled up in the shades of love when her life was already decided? She wondered.

It was quite late at night when they arrived in Delhi and subsequently hailed a cab till her residence. What surprised Ruchi was Aryan's disturbing silence. They didn't even strike a conversation since they touched the ground of their hometown. She at least had a reason to be guilty and confused but he didn't.

"Sir, the cab's ignition isn't starting and it might need repairing. You would've to take some other cab." The cab driver said.

Ruchi shared a look with Aryan who stared at her wordlessly. He paid the driver while she got out and waited for him. She made him know that her house wasn't far away and they could reach there in about a fifteen minutes walk and he abided.
