Shaira's POV

I was alone in the darkness,
Scared to hell,
Didn't know what should I do,
I screamed but the moment I opened my mouth nothing came,
My throat was parched,
Beads of sweat formed on my forehead,
Didn't know where I should even go,
To me it seemed like the end of my life,
Little did I know it was the beginning of something beautiful,
I heard that if you have faith Then unexpected things do happen,
I never experienced anything kind of that but I did,
Then a flicker of light appeared out of no where,
My blue eyes widened and were about to pop out of its socket,
There you were,
Standing at the corner, brooding over something which I wasn't aware of,
I couldn't see you, everything was pitch black,
That light didn't helped at all,
But it gave me hope that I am not alone,
I wanted to ask who you were,
But you were so busy in yourself,
Then out of nowhere something happened and our eyes met for the first time,
All the insecurity I had a moment ago was now gone,
I was mesmerized, awestruck by the color of your eyes,
It was green,  a very unusual shade of green,
I found myself getting lost in those green orbs which were staring down at me with what I don't know,
You were searching for something which I wasn't cognizant of,
My heartbeat accelerated when I noticed you were coming towards me,
I was terrified of what will happen,
I wanted to stop you, yell at you to not come near me as i was scared to death,
But my voice betrayed me when I needed it the most,
I wanted you to be near me for some reason,
My mind was telling me how pathetic that idea is,
This time my heart dominated my mind,
For once I listened to my heart,
I let you come near me,
Within few seconds you were in front me and for some reason you smiled at me,
I didn't know how should I react but again my cheeks heated up,
'You are beautiful' you said,
I was flattered by your choice of words,
I smiled back and you extended your hand towards me,
I hesitated for a moment but eventually gave up,
The moment my finger tips brushed yours,
A spark made its way throughout my body,
I shivered but I ignored it,
That is how everything changed,
The moment you stepped into my life, something changed inside me,
This is what A FLICKER OF LIGHT is capable of doing,
I started enjoying everything around me,
I started laughing,
I believed you and most beautiful part is I started trusting you.....

"Will you stop writing about me shaira?" Ayaan said with a smirk! Sometimes I feel Ayaan make me feel so weak and whether I admit it or not I am as fragile as a leaf is when it fell and leave everything behind it not because it want to but because it had no other choice.

"I wasn't writing about you! I was writing about the protagonist which is going to be in my next book." I lied blatantly. 

What should I even say? Hey Ayaan I was writing about you! Would you like to read my thoughts about you?
Ofcourse I will never do that!

"Oh come on! Shaira you think I don't know you but fortunately I do" he said coming closer to me making my heart skip a beat. Well Ayaan makes me so nervous that I cannot even express it in words but now a days I am getting used to him being around me.

Currently we are sitting in the lawn of our college. Today surprisingly the weather is pleasant and sunny. The light breeze is adding its own charm. Keeping in mind the weather today I chose to wear a green colour dress which reached down my knees, paired it with a white colour shoes. I let my hair down as I remember Ayaan complimenting me the other day

"You look ravishing when your hair  are not tied and are let loose" he said to me releasing my hair from the hold of the clip. The moment my hair were let down, Ayaan smiled telling me now it's good. Whatever he say leaves an indelible mark on my mind which is itself terrifying for me too but I think just for once i should let all my insecurities go away.

I am with Ayaan from the morning. Firstly we both we went to the library to issue some of the books he needed and then we came straight here so that he can complete his assignment and I can complete my work too. But seeing him so lost in his books invoked something in me. I wanted to write some lines about how the moment he stepped into my life, things took a drastic change in my life so I ended up writing a huge poem and no doubt I am going to cherish it forever. We are sitting at the far corner of the park right under the tree. Since we are in a park we are surrounded by greenery and there are so many different flowers whose name I have never heard of. College Authorities have surely made a good effort at keeping the greenery intact. But the sad part is students never come here. Even right now its only us and few other countable people. To students it may seem kiddish to hangout in a garden but for me I find solace whenever I surrounded by nature. It just feels so heavenly. Everything around me nowadays look so good that it just feels like I am in my dreamscape but I know it's not happening in my dream it's the reality of my life as of now.

"Why don't you admit to anything that I say to you shaira?" Ayaan's words brought me back to reality making me realise i zoned out.

"If you will talk something sensible then maybe I will which you never do"I said to him without meeting his gaze and shrugged my shoulders.

"Then admit that you like me, you like spending time with me" he said as if this is the most obvious thing.

How can I say I just don't like being with you, i love it when you are near me, i feel safe, i feel happy when just to bring a smile on my face you are ready to do anything, i am always touched by the concern that you have for me as whenever we cross road you held my hand in yours which nobody bothered to do ever. I am falling more for you everyday so much I am scared that in future I will not be able to handle it. I like you a lot Ayaan but I don't want to confess it just now. It's been only nine days since we know each other and its too soon to confess something so serious as this.

I am afraid that may be it's just a game for you to give attention to a girl who is all alone and never let anybody in. Maybe you just want to prove something to someone. My heart is ready to trust you but my mind is telling me to beware, why I don't have any idea. I remember when I saw you today in the morning you were patiently waiting for me outside my apartment so that we can go together. The moment my eyes laid on you it was like I was in some trance. You looked beyond hot in a light blue color sweatshirt and blue color jeans. Your hands were in your jeans pockets and for some reason your cheeks were red. Your hair were still wet telling me that after getting dressed up you came straight here. I still don't know where you live but I don't even want to know. Ayaan there is so much in my heart that I want to tell every fucking person here about us but I can't as a part of me don't want to admit this thing that  a boy as intelligent as you,  as hot as you is with me.

I have never trusted anyone in my life till now but I want to trust you but again I don't want my heart to win, i want to be rational. My intuition is telling me to give you some more time,  to test you for some more time, this is what I am doing.

When in the morning we were making our way towards the library you said you like it when you are with me. You feel happy from inside when I am with you. You are somewhere at peace. I didn't said anything to you as no matter how badly I want to say the exact words back to you I was scared to no extent.

For you it maybe just telling your feelings about me but for me it was for the first time somebody was telling me that I am special for them. When my own mother didn't thought for a moment before abandoning me how can I trust you? I wanted to say all this to you but obviously I didn't.

" it's not important to feel exactly  same Ayaan" I said nonchalantly as i didn't want him to notice the battle that was going inside my heart. I masked all my emotions but when I looked at Ayaan his face dropped shoulders slumped in defeat. I felt bad for not telling Him my true feelings to him.

By doing this I got to know one more thing Ayaan is not like other boys. He is sensitive and my answers matter to him the most. Whatever I do or say makes a difference. A part of me ached to see how sad he looked when I said those words which in reality I didn't even meant.

"Ayaan I didn't mean to upset you. I just need some time that is all" I said to him looking directly into his eyes. My eyes are the most expressive part of my face and somewhere I know Ayaan read my eyes too much that is why I wanted him to look into my eyes so that he can understand behind my fears and insecurities I like him much more than I should.

It worked the moment he looked Into my eyes he relaxed instantly and smiled at me. His dimples deepened and all the frown lines which were there on his forehead a moment ago were now gone. He joined his forehead with mine and stayed like this for a moment. After that he kept all his books aside and kept his head in my lap making me freeze for a moment.

I never stopped Ayaan from doing whatever he wants to do. But till now he is unaware of this fact that I feel uncomfortable whenever someone touch me. Even though I am getting use to Ayaan showing me his affection by keeping a hand around my waist or kissing my forehead occasionally But this whole thing made me a little conscious.

"Why do you want to be a writer shaira? I mean you are majoring in economics then why writing?" He asked me closing his eyes. He looked comfortable in my lap and my heart swelled seeing him looking so relaxed but when his question registered in my head I almost froze again. I am not ready to tell him this part of mine just now. I need time maybe a couple of more days but I do need time to reveal something as sensitive as this topic is for me.

"If you don't want to answer this it's fine. You don't have to. I was just curious I guess" Ayaan said when I didn't answer, he took my hand in his and kissed my knuckles making me feel safe.

At this moment I knew its good that he should know this part of me too. Being a stranger he told me such a huge thing and trusted me enough so maybe I should do exactly the same.

"No Ayaan it's fine i will tell you. I want you to know why I like writing and why it has become such an important part of my existence" I said to him and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath I opened my eyes only to see Ayaan was staring down at me with a comforting smile which made me sure that I have to do this no matter what.....
