"How.... How can you do this to me.. "

"Have you ever loved me..? "

"Do you think I am just a toy to you"

"Don't even dare to show me your face again.. "

Kiara was broken but she still had her dignity.

She don't show her feelings on her face but yes, she is all alone inside. She went over the lane and over the bridge , sat under the tree in the long rain and cried out...

She cried everything out of her so that she won't let any other tear come out again.

Her life was not meant to be cried for someone who aren't worth for it.

Her boyfriend cheated her with none other than but her best friend...

She thought to herself. " Maybe, only I was her bestie.. She wasn't my friend from the start"

Her eyes we're loosing all control. Her heart was a mess.

The empty feeling in her, made it impossible for her to stop.

Her cries were silent, but her face was filled with tears, which made her glow.

It became difficult for her to breathe, that's when she clenched her eyes close tightly, and took a long breath.

It was not her.

She was not this.

She was someone who was capable of everything and capable of controlling every emotion in her.

But how come she ended up here.

Not only few hours ago, she was happily buying gifts for her best friend and Boyfriend, for the New year eve, but now, she is sitting alone here.

Alone in this dark dark sky.

Alone in this big world.

She sighed and then leaned her body on the tree.

That's when her hands landed on something beside her.

It was an umbrella.

She remember that when she sat here there was nothing.

Someone left her an umbrella.. ?

She picked it up and decided to go back .

When she opened the umbrella, a note was hanging from the button.

It read,

" Sometimes we break, sometimes we cry, but don't worry..this will make you more tough. You will be able to move on from this emotion soon....Smile, because that makes you look beautiful.."

These words really made her smile.

She too wrote on the tree, thank you with the umbrella drawn on it.. And went away.

Few days passed, she forgot about everything. She was in her own isolation, making herself strong and bold . She didn't knew how to step again but she had to step again.

And this time when she wanted to, it was rain again.

The rain was emotional like it never was, it was attracting her like she wanted to go out and feel it. She wanted to flow with that rain, with that air, with that mist.

And she did it.. She again went out after days in this rain, the raindrops were touching her like pearls and she was letting them pour in her heart.

She looked up in the sky , the sky which was crying, or maybe showering love. It all depends on how a person sees it. The raindrops touched her cheeks, her lips, her closed eyes. They drenched her haire, and clothes.

She started to walk in that heavy rain.

Walking slowly, she reached that tree where she cried last time. Her lips curled up into a sad smile, reminding her how hard it was to let everything out of her heart, and how hard it is to move on. How hard it is to trust.

This made her heart heavy again.

She leaned closer to that tree, and closed her eyes, resting her head on the tree, feeling the raindrops pouring down on her hands.

There was an utter silence. The silence of rain. The pitter patter on different things made the music more melodious.

That's when her eyes landed on the note which she wrote on the tree. It was blurred by rains and the days of these many hardships.

It had no reply.

"Maybe, that person have ignored me too" She said to herself, touching that note with her bare hands.

But she don't know how and why, she wanted to search for that note. Maybe she wanted someone to tell her that everything will be okay..Maybe she wanted someone who will provide her a shoulder on which she would cry, someone who would hug her tightly when she will cry and tell her that that someone is here. But, what was she expecting. It was only a good deed done by some stranger.

She roamed around the tree and saw a note hanging on one of the branch. It was written..

"Don't mention me, and don't mention your tears, they are just real you. "

Her heart felt a bit calm reading that message.

And she thought, maybe she shouldn't bother that person again and went away.

It was night by now and Kiara was in the open sky.

She didn't knew what was taking her but her legs walked on themselves.

She didn't even realised that she was walking on the road. She came in front of a car but someone pulled her aside.

"Are you mad or what..? Can't you see there's a car coming in front of you..? Do you want to die" The person shouted.

And the tears in her heart came out again.. She hugged that person and cried.

The person hesitated at first but then wrapped his arms around Kiara.

" Are you alright..? " He asked.. "Do you need some water or maybe a toffee"

He didn't knew what he should say..

The person he just saved, was crying in his arms, in the middle of streets.

The people who are driving or going here and there would look at them with suspicious eyes.

"I am sorry... I.. I just broke down in front of you in this way... I shouldn't have done that... " Kiara said as she pulled out of the hug and then wiped her tears, with the back of her hands. She looked down on the ground, trying not to make an eye contact.

"No.. It's okay... " The man said and Kiara nodded.

When he saw that Kiara wasn't saying anything and just looking at the ground, he said again,

"Anyway I am a good listener and learner.. So you can share with me.. "

"No.. It's okay.. I am alright.. " Kiara said..

"You don't seem fine... Well.. Let's just have a seat here.. Under this sky.. Maybe this will be okay for you" He said.

"Okay.... "

They sat near the river on the bench.. It was all so quiet but beautiful. The stars were glittering and the river was shining with the image of the sky.

The wind was soothing and was filled with the smell of the rain that just went by.

Kiara was not even looking up and was looking at her fists, which were resting on her thighs.

When the man saw that the lady is not going to say anything and is not even able to be comfortable, he decided to start the conversation again.

" Even when it's dark, it's beautiful " He said.. "By the Way I am Samarth"

"Oh... Okay... "Kiara said..

" Won't you tell me your name..? " He asked..

" I am not like an open person so... And nowadays I can't trust anyone so.. " Kiara said and looked up at the man's face.

The moment when Samarth's eyes met Kiara's, he felt a spark in him somewhere.

Those dark brown eyes which were somewhat wet, and those cheeks that were shining due to tears, made her look so adorable.

He never thought that someday he would be so lost in someone's eyes.

"Oh.. It's okay.. No problem.. " He said, trying to brush off the thoughts in his brain.

"Well, it seems like you have a good taste.. I mean you live your surroundings and define them so beautifully.... " Kiara said, in low voice.

"Yeah.. I have some talents so.. " He said.. "Well, what about I give you a name... As I feel we will meet again.. And I am sure of it.. So I should give you a name so that I can call you, if I see you in crowd.. So.. Would you like to give me suggestions.. " Samarth stammered again and again.

He was surely mentally slapping himself for being such an idiot in front of a girl.

"Really.... Okay.. Let me think... Sugar?.. Plum..? ' Kiara said, not even taking an interest.

" You really are bad at this... Let me think for you.. What about sukoon..? " Samarth said, smiling in his all glory.

Kiara was amazed.. "I love this name..It's so beautiful.."

"I knew you will love it.. "

They were about to hug each other but came in senses that they don't know each other..

Both of them sat back at their places and looked here and there.

Samarth was about to say something and Kiara was also about to say something but both of them stopped when they looked at each other.

They again looked here ans there until Kiara thought to remove the awkwardness.

"Yeah.. It was awkward.. " Kiara said..

"See, there's a shooting star.. "He said pointing at the sky. His eyes were sparkling just like the stars.

" You believe it..? I mean looking at you it feels like you might be 23-24 .. But you still believe in these things.. " Kiara asked, not knowing what she is saying herself.

"Just shut up and pray... " Samarth said and put his hands on kiara's eyes..

"Just listen to your heartbeat.. Not every star is meant for wishes.. Some are meant for you.. " He said..

Kiara felt the warm hands on her face..

They were so warm in this cold rain and cold breeze flowing everywhere.

She closed her eyes and tried to listen to her heartbeat, just as what he said.

She smiled, when a last year came out of her eyes and then a sigh coming out of her.

After few seconds , he removed his hands but kiara was still holding them..

"You are warm... " She said in a low voice. Her voice was calm now.

"Maybe love does make me warm.. " He replied..

" I think I should leave.. It's late.. Bye.. " Kiara said and stood up.

"Okay.. See you sooner.. " Samarth said, waving his hands , seeing the figure walking away from his eyes, until it faded.

She went but didn't thought of him.. She thought of his talks.. Maybe she should give herself a chance.. It's not her fault.. She was the one who trusted them and they broke it.. She should make them feel what they lost..

The next few days.. She got busy.. She got busy with her studies and work... Being a third year college student and a part time worker wasn't easy for her but she was used to it.. Anyways.. Who else she have in her life now... Her parents went away leaving her in India all alone.. Her best friend cheated her.. She didn't had any other friends.. What does she need now.. She just have to work for herself...

One day when she was just walking and admiring nature, she came by that tree again..And didn't thinking of it she saw a note again..

It was written..

"Maybe you don't need my advice.. Let me talk to this tree only... Let me name it terry berry... "

Kiara laughed... It was a long before she laughed like this.. But now she is laughing..

She too wrote a note and hung it on the tree..

" Terry berry will love to talk to you... "

And it rained again...

She ran under the tree again.. She saw a blurred image of someone coming from front.

When he came more close.. She saw a tall man standing with an umbrella. His tall body with his handsome face, which looked like who came from heaven itself, was a tempting thing anyone could find. But for Kiara, she was filled with shock.

He was samarth..

"You need help..? "He said..

"You..? " Kiara exclaimed..

"Well yes.. I told you that we will meet again.. " Samarth said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Okay... Will you please drop me off to the bus station.. I don't have an umbrella and it's urgent." Kiara said and smiled.

She didn't thought that she could be so acquainted with a stranger.

"Okay.. Come with me.." Samarth said and Kiara cake under the umbrella..They were walking and it was silent between them. The Only thing that can be heard was pitter patter of the rain.

"So sukoon what about you tell me how are you now... I mean you weren't in a good state before so.. " Samarth started the conversation.

"I am much more better than always.. I thought on the things you told me and I thought to work for me and create my world for me.. " Kiara said, feeling proud.

"Is there any place for someone else in that world.. " Samarth asked, after hesitating for almost hundred times and neglecting this question for thousands of time.

"Maybe.. Or maybe not.. I have no one with me.." She said, looking in front of her.

"So you have nicknamed me No One.. Quite a nice idea.. " Samarth said and pouted.

"No more lame jokes, please.. " Kiara smiled again.

"Okay miss, so here's your stop.. Enjoy your day.." He said and the bus came.

"Let's meet again then..? " Kiara said, standing in the doorway of bus.

"Maybe or maybe not.. " He said, waving his hands as a bye.

The bus started to move and she saw him walking back . She couldn't help but wonder that why does he say things like this..

Kiara saw him leave, but he wasn't leaving from her mind...

She started to think again but now not because of her past life but for samarth, for a new life which was waiting for her in front of her...

She thought to herself, "maybe, I was rude with samarth... "

But now she can do was nothing... What done has done now.

The rain stopped ,but it was unusual...

The smell there, was delusional...

The sky was dark indeed.. But it wasn't heavy...

It can be a new path in front of her.. Maybe..

She decided to meet the samarth again and listen to him... The words he always told her were stuck in her mind like the nursery recital, but what she know about Samarth was nothing. Except for his name, she could do nothing but wait for another coincidence to occur.

Till then, she thought to remove all the thoughts and focus on herself. To be someone she was willing to be in her childhood.

But Even when she tried to she wasn't able to remove thought...

The next day, after her college she skipped her job and went to the bridge, where she met samarth for the first time..

She waited till it was dark, but there was no sign of him....

The stars were shining on the lake and it was all beautiful as it was on their first meet..

But nothing was there in which Kiara was interested, she wanted to meet samarth as soon as possible..

The shine stars were emitting was hurting her eyes and the breeze was making her so cold...

She sat there and didn't knew when she fell asleep..

Waking up she realised that it was her best sleep till now, there was a coat over her but she didn't knew where it came from.. She woke up and went away..

The next few days she did nothing but to wait for samarth to show up and talk to her but for her bad luck, it didn't happened.

In this time, she forgot about the tree . She went to her part time job again and totally got lost in her work and studies..

One day , she was just walking by and saw a poster of save trees... At that moment, it clicked in her mind that samarth's and her second meeting was near that tree. She got there as soon as possible and waited for samarth...

After few hours, she got reckless and was about to give up when she saw a note. .

It was..

" 🖤🖤"

She smiled a little bit but was not happy...

She wanted to talk and discuss and be happy once more in her life.. But that chance was snatched from her again by the winds..

The note too flew from her hands, but she didn't wanted to catch it. She saw it flew down the lake and go in the water.

She lost her chance again and went to her home..

To her surprise, she was greeted by her parents.. Which really wasn't a greeting..

"What are you doing , here..? " She asked, looking at them in the most disgust way she can.

"We came here to meet you ..Don't you miss us..?" Her mother said..

"As far as I remember, you both left me all alone in here, and didn't even called me back or asked how am I in so long time.. " Kiara said.. "And when I try to live again, you show up from no where and ask me that i miss you..? "

"Why don't you both go back again, from wherever you came and leave me alone.. And forget me as you did before.."

"We didn't forget you my love', her father said.."we weren't able to contact you."

"really.. I was just five years old and was sent to live alone in hostel and then I thought I would meet you both again but no, you never showed up ...so please dont ever show up again". She said and left her home at that moment in anger..
