I will never forget you .. !

You are so beautiful ...

I can't get enough of you ...

I love you ...

Beep . Beep . Beep

Riddhima gasped ... Her whole body shooking with sweat .. taking deep breaths .. Twisting her duvet At the darkened Memories ...her heart was pounding Loudly against her ribcage in the silent Room ...

Taking the glass of water .. from the night stand , She cugged the liquid in one go ...

The Memory that still Haunted .. her Till Now !

Closing her eyes ... She relished the bitter sweet memories of him !

A broken yet .... Beautiful smile adorn her lips , Sighing she took a deep breaths to calm herself ,..

But her nostrils ..  filled with familiar Rich spicy colonge ... She frowned !

Don't know why ... From One month she's feeling this unfamiliar feeling that someone ... Was there , with her in the night !!

But whom she's joking .. she's all Alone !

Maybe it can her illusion ... As To avoid
His memories , she take sleeping pills ... But her heart said ... He was there with her ...

His spicy cologne scent ... Always invaded her senses as soon as she wake up ... But As always he was never there it's just her ... Delusion !!

Nothing else !!

Tring !

TRING !!!

Her phone was ringing .. At the vanity stand , taking deep breath she took the phone .. A small smile adorned her lips as she saw ... Caller ID .. she quickly swipe the green button ..

" Hey Babe .. Good morning And A happy birthday to you .. "
Sejal chirped from other side - And why not today .. Is her bestie birthday ..

" Good morning Sejal ..And thank you so much .. " she said smiling ..As she got up from the bed .. walked towards her bolcony ..

She frowned .. when she saw , The lock of glass is opened and she clearly remembered last night ... To close it , her mind runs fast ..at the possibility but she decided to ignore it ..

Sliding the glass .. she stood there , closing her eyes feeling cold Air hit her face ... In a Teasing way ...

" So .. how does it feel to be Twenty one " Sejal asked .. as she chuckled excitingly ..

Riddhima smiled at her .. best friend Excitement ... She's always this bubbly by nature , And she loved her for that she's the who literally helpfuL all her life ...from childhood itself ....
Sejal belongs from a Rich family And she always helped her ..In her up and downs ..... When she was broken to not any one to bend it ...

And here ...she bought her In Cambridge , Harvard University where once she dreamed to study ..

But Sejal .. fullfied with her dream ..

" I think it's feel good ...To be big "
She said ...As a slow chuckled escaped her beautiful lips ...

" Ofcourse why Not ? .. Acha listen I planned something for you ; Tonight 8pm .. At Steven Restaurant there's suprise for you ..." Sejal grinned from other side ..

" But ...s-sejal .." she tried to deny , because she can't take more From her when she already .... Did !

" Shut up .... Riddhu you will come and that's final ..." She said ..and cut the call ...

She sighed ...if she's ziddhima ..Than her bestfriend is more than her ..

Stubborn girl ...

I hope ...she don't tried to do something like last time ... thinking this inwardly ..she went inside the bathroom to fresh up ....

---------------

Looking pleased ..With herself  dressed in black short dress ... With a tint of red colour adorning her plump lips ... smiling she make her way towards ...door ....

Opening the door ... She looked at the beautiful flowers that had kept outside her Apartment ..

She looked here and there ..to find someone but found none ..!

Making cute pout .. she took the flowers sniffing it beautiful scent ..
It was her favourite .. Orchid flowers

Who could gave her ?

Maybe Sejal !

Smiling she kept it , at her table stand
But her features tensed ... Because literally no one knows about her favourite flowers ...

Not even Sejal ...!

Only he knew about that ... But he can't be here ...!!

Her eyes brimmed with tears .. but taking deep breaths , she clear her face .. don't want to ruin her Makeup !

" Don't cry for someone ... Who doesn't really think about you " her subconscious mind said ...

" Right ..you are absolutely right I'm not gonna miss him ... Anymore " she said ..as tried to gain happy posture ..

-------------------

" What are you Mad ... Sejal how could you do this ? " Riddhima yelled at her bestfriend ...

As they stood at the corner of Restaurant ... She's literally feeling angry now !

Because without thinking anything ..
Sejal has fixed ... Her blind date , not even once she asked her ...

" Why Riddhu ...? You still don't forget him ..." Sejal asked ..she knew this is a last strike to ... Make her yes !

" No ... You are wrong , I have moved on Sejal ... And I will prove you .." putting an confident and happy facade ..  she goes towards her date ...

Sejal looked at her retreating figure , she wish ... Her friend ..can be like which she used to be before ...

" Hello ... Riddhima Right ? " The guy asked her ...he was wearing casuals with Black T-shirt .. And a jeans with High boots , he Looks handsome ...

" Yaa ... And you ? " She asked as He extended his hands for ... Shaking their hands ...

" Oops .. I'm Marco .." he said .. grinning widely .. like a gentleman he .. pulled out a chair for her .. she smiled at him ..

" Thank you ..." She said. . smiling at his cute behaviour ...

" Well ... You look gorgeous lady .."
He said winking towards her. .. while her cheeks turned into deepest shade of red ..

She's not used to .. for such compliments ..!

" you look nice .. Too .."  she finally managed to say this , well she's so shy and timid around .. people ..

" Thank you .. chérie " he said .. his lips curving into Amusement ..

( Sweetheart .. ) In french !

Their talk was ... Disturbed , when a blonde come To take order in their table ... 

" Bonjour .. que voudriez-vous commander ..? " The blonde waitress asked ... politely ..

( Hello ... What would you like to order ? )

" I would like to order .. two glass of champagne .." Marco said to the girl .. looking at riddhima ..

" You didn't have to get me champagne ... " She said .. worrying about the expense of evening ...

" Let me ... I want to do this for you .." He said smiling ... extending his hand he queezed her hand lightly ..like assuring her ...

" Ohh ..." She said .. Nothing to say , she didn't like he's being too closy ..

He reached out .. Picked up his glass of champagne , raising it for toast ..
She mirrored his Actions .. until her glass touched to his !

" Cheers.... " He said simply .. siping his drink ...

She tipped her glass back ...Allowed a generous sip of the bubbly drink to fizz over her toungue ..

" Tell me about your studies ..? "
He asked ... Still siping his drink !

" Ohh .. I'm an history Major , I just declared this semister ..." She said ....

" Great ..." His eyes twinkle ..

The rest of the dinner was light headed ... Marco .. shared his liking and she did the same ..!!

But don't know why ? ... She's the feeling someone was keeping watch over her ...

Soon their dinner ... Get over , sharing numbers they headed towards their destination ...

As she walked into .. her bedroom flopped into bed , she sighed ..

It's been three month that I felt wierd Everytime ... As I went out someone was staring at him ..  Or following me .,
But as always she ignored it !

But the feeling was getting stronger !

She looked at the caller ID ... It is Sejal she frowned ..why she's calling her now ...

" Hello ... Riddhima , Marco has met with horrible Accident now I'm gonna see him in hospital ok .."
Sejal said ... As the call ended from other side !

Riddhima stared the phone with terrifying expressions ...

" I will kill every Man .. who will try to snatch you from me " his voice revolved in her mind ..
