A Blossom in the desert

Heartbreaks echoes silence

Emaan was left dumbfounded .

Despite that vigorously thundering heartbeats she couldn't just make herself look away from those hazel eyes looking back at her ,making everything blurred and vague except him .

She couldn't believe her eyes as they were seeing a magic she had made her heart could never exist .

But magic was a part of world of fantasy and fantasy just an outcome of shard of reality that never comes to existence but only circulates on the boundary of imagination. And running and chasing such diaphanous dreams which breaks away at the first light of dawn of reality was not Emaan had the courage to step upon.

Some roads no matter how much alluring they looked they weren't meant to travel ..

Some destination no matter how much beautiful they seemed to be ,they weren't meant to be chased.....

They were meant to be ignored and absconded .

And that's what Emaan decided to do as she forcefully tore away her gaze from Khaled's deep gaze and looked down . That mere action felt like a vicious torture towards her heart that squeaked with hissing agony .

But ignoring that hisses of her heart ,and every feelings and warmth that had enveloped her in those few moments ,she touched her forehead ,

Was this a hallucination !

Was she imagining things ....it surely would be ....this can't be reality ...

Was her mind again playing a mirage

And in all this ruckus she whispered out which if Khaled wasn't ardently waiting for her reply,he couldn't have heard it ,

"Did I hit my head ?".

Concern immediately washed over Khaled and keeping aside his every urge and desperation that his every throbbing beat reflected in knowing her reply, he glancing at Dr Sarah for a moment stepped a closer to Emaan's bed as he asked gently ,

"Why?Is it paining?".

Emaan lowered her head more as she nodded in negative as she whispered to herself ,

"Then why am I hearing such weird things ?".

But Khaled heard her and his forehead twitched with a frown as he asked slightly tilting his head ,

"You think me proposing you is a weird thing ,Dr Emaan?".

Emaan wide eyed looked up ,she couldn't believe it was real and her heart that she thought couldn't beat any more harder seemed too ardent to crack out of the ribcage , too excited or too scared ,she didn't know or more rightly she didn't wnated to know...Emaan opened and closed her mouth with shock and glanced at beyond happy Dr Sarah before looking back at Khaled as she mumbled ,

"Did you hit your head or something ?".

His horses of desperation to know her reply was now enjoined by a set of irritation and a bit of amusement seeing her cute reaction ,

Cute reaction ? Khaled ..idiot focus ...!

"I don't know about India Dr Emaan but here in Syria a guy doesn't has to get his head hit before proposing ,one simply does it !".

Emaan blinked at him as she asked tentatively ,

"Is this some kind of a joke ?".

"Do I look like I am joking ?"

"You.. mean ..".Emaan couldn't complete as she felt too embarassed and ...shy to say it loud. She couldn't decipher why all this was happening so suddenly...when her mind rocked with a realisation as she remembered certain glimpses before she had fallen down unconscious and clutching her hands tightly and closing the ever-ready dam of her tears she said blankly ,
