Lost and Found

Rudrayani's point of view

I was hiding behind a car. I crawled myself into a small ball so that no one could see me. I dont want to see anyone. I was crying and continuously telling myself that it will all be fine. But my courage was leaving me. I was breaking. I was so cold and alone.

I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I felt the warmth from it. That touch didn't scare me. I tried to stop my crying and I turned around to see who was there behind me. I saw raksha's brother.

He was watching me with so much love. I really don't know how to react to that look.

My gaze instantly fell on his eyes. Oh! He has a whole ocean in his eyes. Such a beautiful and pleasant green color adorned his eyes. Yes! I finally was seeing him from this proximity. He has the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. But for some reason, I felt that those almond shaped green eyes were not new to me. It felt I had always been watching those eyes.

Then I noticed.... he had tears rolling down his cheeks....was he crying? But why? Those tears pained my heart.

I had seen him before also, at the beach. I remember that day....I was angry with pa.

My pa never let's me go around to make friends and now he was saying we are going to change city again... I was throwing stones to vent my anger.

Then I heard a deep but gravelly calm male voice. I jumbled. I stepped back in my defense. There stood a man. What I saw in him, I dont know. But I smiled to myself as if I found my lost part of soul.

He was so tall and built. He was wearing a rugged black jeans and and a denim jacket. All his appearances was sure so handsome. I dared not to blink once. I was really stareing at this strikingly attractive man.

But moreover he is an intimidating person. He stood below the sand hill edge where I was standing. I bet I saw something like a tender emotion on his face. But in no time it disappeared and he seemed so angry... he took a step in my direction and my heart skipped a beat.

He was facing me. But sun was setting at his back. And wind also flowing from his back towards me. His fair was flowing and all his face was covered with his shiny silky black hair. I am glad that he didn't even tried to push those beautiful hair back. His sliky hair were so lustrous,  thick and coal colored. They were just getting untidy with the wind therefore giving a coarse look to him making him more beautiful.

My Only remorse is that I didn't get to see his face from close. But he really is so handsome said my heart. I cursed myself for ogling the man.

But inspite of my brave attempt to ogle him he still he seemed to not notice. I thanked god. He tried to reach my level as he angrily glare at me. And I got nervous. I said sorry and ran off.

And here I am today. I was sitting so close to this handsome boy. And now he was not looking angry also. In fact he seemed to be looking at me with so much love. As I am so close to him, I tried to observe him. I scrunched my eyebrows and now I was memorizing all the beautiful features of his face. He has some what fair complexion but a pinch of olive undertones. He has chiselled jawline. His silky hair were falling on his eyebrows. But today, with every coming and going breeze his hair were floating. And I finally had a chance to look at his beautiful face.

His hair was floating in wind, giving me a look for his broad forehead. His eyes kept looking at me, never blinking once. He has these dark downcasted eyelashes. His sharp nose was so perfect. His lips were like, they have been sculptured.

Raksha's brother was looking just like a demigod. Why is he so handsome? Even in this dim lights he seems to be world's most handsome man. He came close to me. But I didn't budged.

This is so surprising to me. I never had courage to let anyone or anything come this close to me. But he was different. It felt as if I belong this close to him. He was assuring me with his calm eyes.

And now I was losing my consciousness. I felt him pulling me into his embrace. I know he is mere a stranger to me but I felt comfortable in his warm hug. I adjusted myself close to him. And I rested my head in his shoulder. He was so warm and safe. I felt like I can trust him with my life. And I did.....

All my worries, all my insecurities, all my fears just vanished. This person right here was my anchor.

And I decided to hang on to him and finally I gave in to my deep slumber.

And he wrapped me with his arms. And I felt like I came home...
