Eyes are only secretive when they are never meant to be yours

-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-++-+-+-++-++-+--+---+-+-++++++--+-

All the colours drifted silently into the fathom of love when he called my name again and again.

What?

I must be in an illusion, or was I?
I was at the entrance just tip-toeing and trying to run away from here to anywhere else but I couldn't.

"Stop fidgeting and come with me,"
He silently slipped his fingers to my back, pushing me to go inside and I was like a deep red tomato rushing in his direction.

"Neel, what a pleasure to meet you again son,"

Her father stood in the well-established empire, wearing the most expensive suit as he was not in his residence.

"Yes, uncle it's great to see you too!"
Then they hugged each other. He patted his back and Neel's eyes were black; hard to find anything in them maybe it's not what it looked like.

"Oh, Dad how can you forget me?"
Then Sarah jumped on them.

I wanted to punch her on the buttocks,
Never mind, I didn't.

I can feel her coming too close to him that it was making him almost anxious and the precious melodies started to drift away.

"Can you please show us a room? We need to change!"
Alisha Walker said what I was dying to say.

We all were drenched completely soaked in the cold water and she jumped on him? In that state?
His father also pulled him into a hug in this state?

What's wrong with them?

"Oops! Sorry, Neel," and then she commenced drying his shirt from her hands.

"Listen Alisha if she didn't stop now I will kick her by myself!"
I hissed in her ear.

"Let me do something!" As she swayed her hips in the walking I was determined she will surely do something as extravagant as Sarah is doing.

She went there and slightly kicked Sarah's foot in the repentance she fell on her butt to the ground.

Ah! What bliss to see this with my own eyes! I have been waiting for this duration for too long.

"Oh, I am sorry, are you alright Dear?"

Before she opens her mouth to spill venom from it, I came forward, "oh why wouldn't she be alright, after all, she is Sarah right?"
I fake-smiled at her!

Which she gladly accepted because of course for her it is all about the precious name and advantages that come with it.

"Yeah, I am not just fine! I am perfect as always and there is a room upstairs to change! One for boys and one for girls, I don't want anything sexual in my home!"

Seriously?

You were thinking we will do something sexual when we are already tired enough, cold and filled with snooze?

"She must be talking about herself," Alisha whispered into my ears.

And I laughed!
Without remembering where was I? And a dangerous witch is standing in front of me.

"What's so funny to laugh about? Care to tell us?" She was so close to me that our clothes were touching each other. If anyone glimpses us from the far corner they would think she is going to kiss me any moment.

And I don't want that to happen in my whole eternity of existence.

So, I simply stepped back.

"Watch out your tongue country girl! Otherwise, the consequence will be very dangerous for you!" She hissed into my ears so that only I could hear while closing the distance between us.

I gulped.

I have seen something in her eyes that I have never seen before it was the alarm of destruction and I have no energy in my body to fight with her.

When we all changed our clothes I found myself staring at the moon, echoing its beauty despite all the scars on it.

How something can be so beautiful and broken at the same time?

Probably in the process of evolving; beautiful things get broken.

I realised all the journey of my life which I have lived so far.

Does he feel the same about me?

Why I am getting so mad when he was so close to Sarah?
It didn't affect me that much before but why it does now?

Do I seriously have feelings for him?

Or it's just another illusion of mine?

We both are so different, I don't belong to his world and he doesn't belong to mine.

Despite all that he was the same boy who was there when I was getting bullied in school.

He didn't know me at that moment
I don't know if he has changed it or not?

But when I remember all the times he stood by for me, I smiled.

Maybe some memories are worth making.
And some stars are worth fighting for! I realised that when I saw a burning star ready to dip down into the ocean.

I heard a voice that dinner is ready and we all are invited to the dining room.

I am devastated by the time, my stomach has been churning from right to left.

I heard a knock, I was expecting someone else but it was Samuel Hudson who was smiling and waiting for me while extending his arm so that I can hold it.

Where is he?
Why does he always have to be invisible?

"So, let's go and eat some food," his broad smile was covering his whole face. But it was genuine, nothing was made up and I felt that maybe he was a little delighted for some unknown reasons.

As we started walking, I was a little uncomfortable because he was holding my hand extremely close.

"Oh, welcome kids have a seat!" Her Dad greeted us.

Maybe Sarah's dad is a good person not like the only daughter he had.

But my eyes were completely locked with a boy who was seating beside Sarah's chair.

I sat in his opposite direction, all lost in my thoughts.

"Why is he sitting beside her?" Alisha asked me dumbfounded.

"I don't know, Alisha!" I whispered back.

He was trying anything to avoid my gaze and suddenly I didn't have the appetite to eat the food.

"Why are you not eating something, Julia? Is everything alright?" Sarah batted her eyelashes in the most furious way that I almost forgot where was I.

"I am glad you think too much of me, Sarah," I narrowed my eyes to her.

And ate whatever I got in my hands.
All the American food was present on the table with salad to the great turkey as it was the time of Thanksgiving in her country.

Maybe some people don't need any special event to celebrate.

She was continuously looking at me with her sharp eyes, her big jaw was juggling to try to control her laughter.

"I'm sure if she giggled at this time I will bite her!" Alisha silently said to me.

"And I punch her on her empty head at least this earth will be free from her cautious tactics!"

"Oh great everyone is already here, let me introduce myself I am Sarah's Mother, Vivian Swan!"

What? Sarah's last name is Swan?
That's why she can't resist herself to the floor, I was amused.

"What are you laughing at?"
She snickered.

"Oh come on doll don't be the bad girl! Behave like a lady and show some respect to your guests!" She smiled while looking at me.

At that moment she reminded me of my mother's eyes.

I felt comfortable in her presence.

But Sarah was mad!
And Neel was still doing everything to not meet his eyes with mine.

Is he hiding something?
