"Then I saw you again, and I came to know the reason. In a meeting that you were presenting, you stood proudly as a peac.o.c.k, with your knees were still oozing blood. I felt uncontrollable desire to make you a part of my life. You were powerful, bold and beautiful. I fell deeply in love with you."Hearing his declaration, her eyes widened in shock.
Viv, looking at her cute face, suddenly kissed her. Her eyes widened even more. Feeling a warm tongue on her lips, she closed her eyes and tasted his mouth. His hands held back of her head, and the thumbs touched her ears. He kissed her deeper and deeper. She kissed him actively as well.
"I feel deeply in love...." The words echoing her conscious.
They were so much involved in each other that they didn"t care that the place they were showing off their pa.s.sion was a public place. Many eyes were still on them. The waiter even stood beside them for a while waiting with a bill. His face was red as well.
When the lips separated, Ira felt a shadow on her. Her gaze fell upon the embarra.s.sed waiter hiding his eyes. She looked around to find many gazes on her.
"Cough...Cough..." I need to use the washroom. She ran like a cute rabbit.
In the washroom, she patted her face. Need to calm down. Splas.h.i.+ng some water on her face, she touched her still beating heart.
"Hey, Ira" She heard a voice. In the mirror, she saw a girl behind her.
"Long time no see." The girl said in a cheerful voice " I wanted to come over at your table when I first saw you. But you know its bad manner to disturb a shameless couple."
"Hehe.." Ira laughed embarra.s.sed. This girl was still as straightforward and vocal as ever.
Patting Ira"s shoulder, she said, "Girl, You have changed a lot!!!"
"Yes, I got fat. I am pregnant." she added, " It is four month already."
She hated the word "Change." Hence she clarified her friend"s thought before she concludes.
"No, not your body but your personality. You look so happy. Married and pregnant. Congratulations!"
Ira looked at her with pity because she knew her fate. The girl had a tough life.
Moreover, Her destiny was cut short, expiring at a young age.
She was going to die soon.
--------
Past life the same year,
Ira was going through all channels on a TV when she suddenly stopped on a news report.
She recognized the person. It was a girl lying on the stretcher her University Junior. The girl she was once close to but forgot with time.
"A firefighter died at the line of duty."
"She was buried alive in a collapsing building."
"A Hero dies saving a man."
"The man lived only because of timely rescue by the firefighter."
What followed was a Grand Funeral.
A red flag which read "Fire dept " was covering a casket.
People in uniform were standing in attention to salute it.
