Zems: Just what was happening today. *sigh ( looking at his hands) I couldn't draw why and it is annoying me as hell * argh what should I do!

There was full moon on the sky at night when I sneaked to my secret place that nobody knew. It was a little pond and a big ground but no one had known of this place because it was hidden in bushes. I accidentally knew about it when I was playing hide and seek and ever since then it became my lone place where I would feel the real me I've been hiding. I came here so I can draw and peace my mind.

After few hours*

Zems: Finally its done, though I got this place messy and dirty with all these spoiled colors but I'm glad I still did finish my drawing at last. I wonder why couldn't I draw at school.

(Suddenly a beautiful music flows through the air.........)

Zems: wow, so beautiful but how can someone know of this place. I haven't told about it even to my best friend. I need to see who is playing such beautiful music.

Searches everywhere*

Zems: there is no one but the music is still playing but from where and by whom. Is it a ghost or a witch??!! I've heard they attract handsome boys and kill them. But the problem is .....is.....I'm not handsome( crying inner self)

Pfft... whatever I need to go home and sleep maybe it was just my illusion but how can it be my illusion when I can still hear the music.....

Is there a problem with my ears ( Rubs his ears)

suddenly air blows in his air and soft voice enters his ear and it says," I've waited long for you" .* scared* runs without looking back once.

Zems: Woah! what is going on....man

I need to get some sleep. Let it all be a dream god........

* after 2-3 hours of struggling to sleep Zems finally falls asleep

He dreams someone is calling for him and a hand is pulling him inside a void where there is nothing but he is continuously falling and suddenly the same music hits his ears that he heard beside the pond.....

Zems: its that music, I need to see who it is playing such a soulful music. Ah! I can't breathe, is someone choking me. I feel like I'm gonna die....... No, I don't wanna die like this. I want to see the person playing this music......uhmm...(* struggling to breathe)

Unknown: seems someone is curious to know about me...hmm...

Zems: who are you? are you the one playing that soulful music??? please save me !! I don't wanna die

Unknown: haha........ soulful music!!!!! don't you know that soulfmusic of mine is killing you..........haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* meanwhile on the tree beside the pond of Zems' secret place

unknown: I hate to kill such a cute little bunny * long sigh ...............

I was scared to death that night. I was just thinking about that unknown and mysterious voice. Whatever happened was real? Or it was only my imagination? I tried to satisfy myself by thinking it was my imagination although l knew that it wasn't. I tried to ignore the truth and went to bed.

***MORNING***

I suddenly heard a knocking sound. Someone was knocking the door and I soon realised that it was my "mom".

Zems's mom: *knocking and shouting *

Zems!!! get up faster or you are getting my special punch today for breakfast. I have been calling you since half an hour, Get up!!!!

As I slept very late last night, I was feeling very sleepy and I wanted to sleep more but my gangster mom was constantly knocking on the door. So, I slowly opened my eyes and replied to mom:

Zems: *in a low voice * " yes mom" I am getting up, don't get angry. I am awake now.

Zems's mom: "What!!!!!?" don't get angry? Do you know what the time is??

I grabbed my phone and checked the time *quickly gets up from the bed* "What!?" It was already 9:00 am. I was little bit worried because my school started around 10:00 am and I hadn't even washed my face. I quickly ran toward the bathroom. I was such in a hurry that I even didn't recognised that the floor was very slippery. " BANG" I slipped on the floor and hurted my leg.

Zems's mom: "What is happening up there?" Are you getting ready or having a world war there!!!? And what was that sound of??

Zems: It's nothing mom. I'm getting ready *ignores the leg pain*

I was being late for my school. So, when I got ready, l just ran out wasting no time. After a couple of walks I realised my leg was hurting very badly and it was because of that slippery bathroom floor.

Zems: *with an angry and frustrated voice * Ugh...... One more problem,seriously?

I was really very frustrated at that time. I thought of taking some rest at the nearby cafe. So, I went to the cafe. My leg pain was getting worse but I ignored it as always. Every time when I'm hurt I just ignore it because I hate to show myself weak or act as a victim to other. I was always the weirdest and silent one since childhood. I used to stay alone all the time and was silent as if I wasn't present. Nobody wanted to talk to me. I was the loneliest one. So I used to express my feelings through art. Since then my interest in arts grew and later became my passion without which I cannot imagine my life.

Suddenly someone tapped gently on my shoulder. In no time, I stood up and started to turn red.

Unknown person : * in a soft voice * Hey, boy. Are you OK? Do you need any help?

Wait!! that voice is familiar. I turned around and it was that yesterday's music teacher "Rhythm".

Zems: Oh! you and here!?

Rhythm: Yes, me and here. *copies Zems* why? I should not be here? *smiles*

Zems: *blushes and gets nerves* No, I don't mean to say that.... Umm... I was just thinking that you are suppose to be at school at this time. It's getting late, isn't it?

Rhythm: yes, it is but I was waiting for someone.

Zems: *curious* for whom?

Rhythm: *suddenly gets near to Zems and looks straight in his eyes with flirty smile* For you.

Zems: *blushes and steps back*......! Wh.. What!? for me!?

My heart started pounding and l didn't really knew why was l being so nervous and blushing each and every time!?

Rhythm: Umm.. Let's go now or we will be really late.

On the way, l was just thinking about what rhythm said. A bunch of questions were playing around in my mind.

"Was rhythm really waiting for me? But why would he do that? I think he was just joking but why didn't he say anything when I asked that was he really waiting for me??"

I was questioning as well as answering for my questions myself. I didn't even knew why was I thinking so much for just that little thing. I was lost and busy in my own world.

Rhythm: Zems, what are you thinking? Don't think too much about anything.

I was shocked because I was lost in my own world and I forgot that rhythm was with me. I was feeling so stupid at that moment.

Suddenly the sky got covered by black clouds and started raining heavily. There was a beautiful tree with flowers (name: dream catcher). Me and rhythm went under the tree.

Rhythm: Do you believe in destiny?

Zems: *with full of confusion * I don't know what are you talking about!?

I was so confused and awkward at that moment because rhythm was acting really weird and I didn't know what was he even talking about! He was only smiling and constantly looking at me. The feeling was very weird.

(Rhythm suddenly holds Zems hand and gives him a kind of handmade band)

Zems: *surprised*...!!.....!!! Uh... W..Wait, what are you doing and what is this!? Why are you even giving me this?

Rhythm:If I am right, today is your birthday, yes?

I was totally frozen at that moment. How did he know my birthday date? What is happening today with me?

Zems: Uhhh....!! Yes, but how did you know that today is my birthday?

Rhythm: You haven't changed a bit also. You are still the same. Innocent, quite but you have become more cute and adorable.

I was surprised, shocked, a bit worried as well as confused. So many feelings were brusting inside.

Zems: What do you mean by "still the same" It has been only two days that we know each other.

Rhythm: Well, I think you haven't recognised me.

Zems: Who are you? how do you know me? And what do you want?

Rhythm: W.. Wait! So many questions! You have your answers on your hand.

*Zems closely looks at the bandand steps a little backwards*

Zems: *shocked* Are you really!!!?

Rhythm: *smiles* Yes, it's me. Missed me!?
