What a beautiful coincidence it must be , to see a girl sitting alone by herself on a bench in the middle of a misty night, staring dazely at the deserted road?? Isn't it?

Doesn't it feel like a scene of a romantic movie?

Well, fuck off.

Reality is far much worse than the dreamy imaginations. Spine-chilling cold breeze made me shiver on the spot, which I chose to dwell for tonight, the bench.
I clutched my denim jacket close to my freezing body, as my teeth started clattering uncontrollably.

I saw different aged couples exiting from the club, hands in hands wrapped with each other, as they left for their warm homes after enjoying their night out. My heart clenched painfully, as the realisation of my ill fate again invaded my heart.

Was I ever going to be truly loved by someone?

I closed my eyes, as I waited for the winds to stop their torture on me. But, even the nature seemed to be in against of my will, as soon clouds blanketed the starry sky and the heavy downpour began.

I ran frantically to take shelter under the extended roof of the club, as I brushed my slightly drenched clothes. I stood alone in there, as everyone already seemed to left the club. Soft melodious music was still playing in the background, its source coming from inside the club.

Rain seemed to pour endlessly without any break, as I began to doze off standing there infront of the club's gate itself.

Apparently, I had no cellphone with me, for I feared that my parents might trace my location with its help. Apart from some in hand cash and a pair of extra clothes, all the other things I had, were left abandoned by me back at home.
Aftermath,Neither I could call a cab or one of my friends nor I could find myself a hotel to stay in for time being.

I cursed under my breath, as I looked around for some help.

However, a strange thing happened to catch my attention, as I narrowed my eyes at a tall, well-built man stumbling his way on his wobbling legs. I glued my unwavering eyes at the strange man, as he looked extremely funny walking his way out probably towards my direction...I could easily make out from the style of his gait that he was a hardcore drunkard!

I felt tensed as I noticed the man coming my way, I prayed to God that somehow he doesn't end up standing beside me here in the shelter of the club's roof.

This man was getting closer much faster than I expected him to, as I sensed a potential trouble nearing me along with him.
However, all of a sudden, I noticed a parallel beam of light oozing out from behind him, nearing him with a stark speed.

OH MY LIFE!? My eyes popped out as I noticed a car speeding it's way without slowing down, towards the stumbling creature, almost ready to hit him mercilessly.

My breath got stuck in my throat as I witnessed everything suddenly moving in a slow motion, my face losing all its colour due to the pure terror that seized my senses. I had my voice buried and my body freezed due to the devastation, unable to process what to do.

I don't know what came to my mind at the moment, but without giving a shit to my own life, I paced up my feet towards the man screeching at him to leave the road at that instant and jump on the footpath, but it seemed he was too engrossed in his own drunken state that he couldn't even listen to what I was saying.

Before the car would've trampled him down on the road brutally, I jumped on him with my leftover strength and knocked him out of the way of the disastrous car, eventually leading us to fall on the muddy footpath.
The car swooshed away in just a click of secs, splashing the dirty water of road on our fallen bodies.

I tried to steal a glance from the guy's face, as he laid motionless atop of me with his wet hairs covering his face and some sticking to my face.

God, is this man heavy?! I can't breathe!

I tried to shook the man by his arms violently, as the thought of him fainting on top of me haunted me. It took real no time for me to realise the uncivil position we both were in, lying on the roadside, practically entangling ourselves.

I groaned as it took every ounce of my life to yank the man off my body. I heaved a sigh of relief, standing on my feet as I got busy brushing my muddy clothes with a saddened mood.

Shit, I almost forgot about the man!

I turned around to look at the man, only to see him sitting on the spot with his doe eyes peering at me absent-mindedly. He's cute....Ahem!!Was he not unconscious moments ago? Unsure myself, I stared at the man for pretty good seconds when a sudden gasp escaped my mouth, when I mentally realised how insanely handsome & good-looking this man actually was?

Even in the downpour, I could see his attractive face that only oozed captivating aura.

I came out of my daydream bubble, when I heard a loud yelp from the man. He had actually managed to stand up on his wobbly legs, but he clutched his right arm in sharp pain evident on his face.

Worried for the stranger, I sprinted to the man for inspection of his injury but before I could've proceeded he shouted loudly gritting his teeth, making me flinch in fright.

" STAY AWAY FROM ME!!"

"B-but...y-you're h-hurt-" I stuttered as he cut me off again with a raise in his baritone voice..." NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" He growled, glaring deadly at me.

I shuddered with the roughness in his voice, as I witnessed him again stumbling on his unsteady legs before crossing the road with utmost difficulty.

I cursed under my breath, not even convinced of myself as to why even after his cold attitude towards me, I stepped ahead & ran behind him, ultimately trying to get hold of him.

When he was midway of the road, I gripped his left arm with my entire strength, and yanked him to look at me with his bloodshot eyes. I tugged him out of the main lane to the roadside, without paying heed to his skillful attempts to wiggle himself free out off my grasp.

However, I gulped staring at his menacing eyes, before I turned to speak for my defence, "You're ought to co-operate me, instead of running away like this! Can't you see how badly you're injured there?! It needs to be bandaged." I said pointing to his wound on right upper arm.

The man looked at me with disbelief, as if I cracked the most shocking news of the century. It was still beyond my thinking, as why was I so worried for him despite of his rude behaviour. Letting my thoughts aside, I again gazed at the man for some kind of response but instead was shooted with daggers coming directly from his angry eyes.

"Listen woman, I'm telling you with as much sanity as I could afford, you better stop following me. It's for your own good, you don't know me and I'm sure you're dear of your life. Better Leave me alone before I attempt something forbidden to get rid of you and stop you from bothering me." He said calmly in his deep timbre voice as he clenched his jaws dangerously, making me tremble with fear.

I doubted if he really was drunk or not, or was I mistaken?

Once again I looked at his wound which was bleeding, staining his soggy white shirt.

Closing my eyes shut before reopening them again, I sighed and uplifted my eyes as I said stubbornly, "Listen Mister, I must tell you this but you should be grateful that I saved your life for god's sake, otherwise you would've been planted on the road crushed by now, & not giving me off your high-ass attitude." I scoffed, as a shocking expression dawned on his face. "And, yes I won't leave you alone until you let me cure your wound, I've saved your life not to let you bleed to death. I'm not someone who'll get scared of your bravado! Mind it!" I said staring in his intimidating eyes, though I was shaking internally, no doubt.

I wonder if my mind is at its right place or not after the betrayal I got from my life, cause why not, I never knew I could be this bold & stubborn to actually stand the rumbling anger of a scary and drunk man. Darn it!

Astonishing enough, the man broke into a sarcastic laugh before directing his intensely aggressive eyes towards me, with a smirk plastered on his lips.

" Well, you're really intending to get on my nerves, aren't you? Fine then. Let me show you how grateful I'm to you for saving my life..." the fierce guy dangerously inched closer to me, making me automatically step backwards, as I felt alarmed due to his life-threatening intentions.

There was no space left for doubt that I'd myself digged a grave of my own.

He towered me with his giant masculine body, as soon enough my feet crashed to the concrete boundary of the bridge that happened to catch my attention just now.

I breathed heavily, feeling petrified by the whole turn of events, as my palms turned sweaty against his arms. Still tightening my grip over his arms, I hurriedly attempted to negotiate, as his ice-chilling eyes bored into mine.

"Mr-er- uh, you're n-not going t-to h-harm m-me, are y-you?! See, I just i-intended to help y-you out, you're taking it the wrong way, I-i don't know why...stop being silly, & let me hel- AHHH~!!?"

Before I could've comprehended what just happened, for the last time I saw the most dangerous & sinister smile on his dampened face, as my body jerked backwards & I felt my legs unbalanced, soon after uplifted in mid air, and with a loud piercing scream escaping my gaping mouth, I fell outwards and downwards into space.

Then a monstrous terror seized me and my heart stood still.

I couldn't hear nor see anything. But it only lasted a minute, as the next moment my body was engulfed by the cold waters happily, making me drown in its dark depth, as water bubbles masked my vision.

The knot in my throat stiffened, as I helplessly threw my legs and hands, kicking the water, to somehow dive upwards and regain my lost breath. But it was all in vain, as slowly my body began to surrender infront of the dominance of raging waters.

I felt light-headed and already devoid of life, drowning lifelessly in the depths. My mind went blank and all I could see was my shrinking vision turning black, until I felt myself pulled by something strong, a blood-curdling grip tightening over my wrists, suffocating me ironically, but eventually I let myself loose, and carried away by a pair of arms wrapped around my almost lifeless body to wherever god intended.
