I always felt like I was given a support role for everything I did in my life be it in terms of family or friends. And talking about my love life it always scored zero. It's not that I wasn't interested it's just people aren't interested in me. I did had a crush in high school but as I told I was always the side character all he did was made me cupid to get his favourite girl. So I lost the hope in my love life. And when it comes to family I never grew up with mother and father. My mother kept me with her mother and brothers. It's not that they didn't loved me I got so much love that my expectations went to high I thought that will support me I respected them more than my father but things always changes they got married and my life changed. Now instead of receiving love I received taunts for everything I did , be it eating or doing house chores I was so angry at my mother why did she leave me here I always wanted to have my family like others do but all she told me "it was for your good" but then I got to know that she left me because at that time they were struggling for money to buy meal for one time. I was all alone I cried in darkness and smiled to everyone even if they don't. I started talking less. I got fear of getting ignored by people I suffered from nyctophobia. I wished if this life would end then everything would get better.

I wanted to grow up soon to get into University but never thought it would be totally opposite of what I fantasized. My fate seemed to crumble up. I couldn't pay for my further studies I had to save every penny I was insanely searching for a part time job. No matter what I had to save money things were getting difficult i didn't know what to do.

Sitting under the moon I was just imagining where did I get wrong to deserve this life dad never talked to me unless it was necessary mom always encouraged me telling " time flies fast so bad days will be over soon". As I am  the older one everybody has high hopes for me. Never mind it's not that everything happened was wrong nope! I was lucky enough to find a best friend who always stands with me in my good or bad. I always thought I was the princess when I listened to those stories in my childhood but as I grew up I realised that I was born to be warrior I had to keep patience I had to get strong no matter what and instead of waiting for a prince to rescue I had to fight in order to get things Right.

Then I started searching for scholarships that would help me. I always had a dream for becoming a fashion designer I loved to paint and draw I always felt so happy when I filled the blank canvas with those different colours imagining and hoping that I would make my life colourful too. But I had to leave things I was passionate for because my family didn't want me to continue these things.

The more I was searching for light the more my world was getting darker but still I decided to that I would deal this darkness with a kind heart. My mother always taught me " In this dark world the only treasure you possess is a brave and kind heart and people will always try to take this kindness away making you the way they are but the more you cherish this heart the more you'll get close to your happiness". I am not a Cinderella or something but it's just I never wanted to become like the people I grew up with.

It was morning 8 am and I didn't feel like waking up I picked up my phone and that's when a mail popped up on my screen. It was the mail for the scholarship I applied for further studies in Korea because I saw it's the best place for introverts yeah I mean Japan is there but you know when you are a kdrama fan hehehe. Anyways guess what I couldn't believe that I got it! I just never thought anything like this would happen but it did .

Yeah I told everyone that I would move there for studying finance but it was not the case I got enrolled in University for fashion designing. First I thought my family won't allow me to move to different country but they did. 

I was so excited the money I saved for years will be used now . I bought some dresses and some necessary stuff. I wrote letters to people I loved before moving. My mom and my friend came to see me off at the airport. The tickets and every expenses was covered by the government who sponsored scholarship. I went inside and I was searching for my seat I found it and sat there I was excited at first but now I was so nervous. It was time and I landed to a whole new country I came out with my luggage searching for a taxi struggling with the language I told the driver where my dormitory was and then I reached there feeling all nervous and and a little bit frightened I went inside and said hello to my new roommates there were three of them two of them replied and one ignored me .we introduced ourselves " hello my name is ahana sah " roommate 1 " my name is ellisa Collins" roommate 2 " jo yoo Jeong you can call me Joe and her name is min woo".

I decided to visit the area nearby and I was hungry so decided to visit a cvs store nearby I was struggling to find something good to eat so I took a peach drink and some chips and a cup of ramen. I ate and I got a call from ellisa that there will be a meeting for new students so I had to hurry back I came out of the store and I was in such a hurry that I ignored people nearby and just bumped so hard with someone and I heard " WTF" and that's when the red thread which I was wearing In my hand got stuck in his watch which was damn expensive even if I sell my both the kidneys I won't be able to afford it. I looked up and my eyes got stuck with his hazel eyes. It felt like everything just stopped no noise nothing all I could see was him. Then I just heard a car honk i snapped out struggling to undo the thread and with one skillfull hand he just pulled it out and I ran away with my crazy heart beat.

"Dad stop it just stop talking about marriage" I was just fed up my dad wanted me to marry as soon as possible because he is obsessed with kids " but why? you are handsome, tall, young ,rich you are The Ryu Aksh your company is leading hear you just need to agree and girls would line up for you " I just rolled up my eyes and went to my room ignoring him. I switched on the lights and my eyes fell on the picture of a beautiful lady sitting on swing her blackish brown hair ruffling in air her hazel eyes were shining brighter than moon in the sky yes she was my mother who passed away while giving me birth. I was just wondering how did my Korean dad fell in love with such a beautiful Indian lady. I went to take a shower put on my sweat pants and went to bed. I closed my eyes and the image appeared the girl I bumped I wonder who is she looking innocent and all confused her beautiful hairs one side tucked behind her ears her face was all red and flustered and those brown eyes I was lost in them it was first time I felt something like this. But then I realised why am I thinking about her I reached the drawer and took out the sleeping pills, yes I had to take them it was difficult for me to sleep because on that day if i wouldn't had slept my dad would have been able to walk. The guilt consumed me again the pills started working and everything was dark.

I ran fast and finally reached my room everyone eyed me and I gave them an apologetic look and turned on my laptop for the meeting the lecture was going on I had to listen it was boring though. After one hour I took a bottle of water and gulped it down. Ellisa " slow down ahana if you eat like that you'll choke" but I was too hungry to listen anything. I gave a call to my mom told about how was my day and then went to bed looking at the moon through the window and those eyes those hazel eyes came to my mind  hairs neatly set back showing forehead , a  perfect jawline he had a relishing aura that anyone could get intimidated by it. " Who was he" and while thinking I drifted to sleep. 

It was my first day so I dressed up in a light yellow frock it was simple but elegant and put a cute sunflower clip at one side of my hair a little bit of touch up and pink nude lip gloss. I reached after the struggles for searching my classroom and sat at desk near the window no one payed attention because they were blind just kidding they were all busy minding their own business the lectures started I was feeling so lucky and proud of myself that I was able to sit here after the lectures finished i went to the cafeteria I met ellisa and Joe and min woo there they all had philosophy class. We ordered some sandwiches and coffee and  then Joe said that today maybe someone is coming as guest to share some opinions and the person owns the leading fashion industry in Korea i nodded and had two more class left so I went back and sat at the same place I looked at the clouds and those hazel eyes again popped up again I shook my head hard and took out books to focus that's when the professor came and told us to stand up to welcome the guest we all stood up and the person entered and my eyes were wide open and I dropped the books I had in my hand and all the attention was on me including him those hazel eyes again his eyes met mine again it felt like my heart would pop out of my chest again and then a voice came " okay so students let's start how about I introduce myself I am Ryu aksh you must be wondering what type of name is this actually my mom's Indian and my dad is Korean and yeah my mom named me it was decided before I was born okay so let's start with the things we came here to discuss about all eyes on me" 

That's it his voice no words nothing just his voice was all I could hear and that name it felt like it just got engraved inside my head I felt a tingling sensation in my heart it was all fluttering my eyes just couldn't leave his face and he called "hey you are you listening " oh shit did he just called someone fu*k it was  me "are you listening" i replied " yes I am" he said " but you seem distracted" and I replied "sorry just don't mind me sir you continue" and I sat. He was finished with the lecture and was about to leave I felt sad don't know why I don't even know him. He was just about to walk out of the room then he suddenly paused turned back and looked at me our eyes met again and he went and all I was left with the question why just why did he do that? why did he turned back just to see me or something else was i thinking too much but he did looked at me? I was all flustered i realised I wasn't breathing my feets were numb all I could remember is his gaze.

And that day I just woke up whole night overthinking,all blushing my roommates gave me a confused look i ignored them and went to overthink again and got up with dark circles next day and I guessed why those actresses in movies act so ridiculously when they fall in love but now I get it why but was i falling in love but why? I never wanted to and he was way too far from me Just like the moon and I was like the girl sitting lonely and watching it.

I was at my dormitory counting my savings. I realized that it would not be enough if I only relied on scholarship, for pocket money, I had to find part time jobs, but this country was too new for me, and it has only been a week I have been here and this month I was short on money. I asked Ellisa and Joe to inform me if they find any cafe or some stores hiring part timers. It was first time Minwoo asked me if I had any problems though she said it with a cold tone and eyes that was enough to kill someone, but I was happy. I applied at some places to hire me and hoped to get a call. 2 days passed and there were no phone calls except my mom. I was so frustrated I was looking at my phone continuously 1 hours passes then I lost the hope and went out for the dinner, and I left my phone at room there were two Missed calls it was unknown so I called back, and my tears would not stop. The lady on the phone called asked me to meet her on, this Sunday and then she will decide. I went there and I tried to look a little bit formal and diligent. Based on the voice I heard that day I imagined her in her mid 40’s but she was an old lady with a beautiful voice I met her and bowed showing my respect and she just smiled, and she just asked me one question “How much you want me to pay for the working hours you selected?” and I just replied “You decide after seeing my work” she chuckled and said “you are too naïve join from tomorrow”. It was a beautiful café white themed with greyish and golden shades and it had three to four abstract paintings on the wall, it was not very big, was moderate in size. It had a bookshelf consisting of novels of different genres, some magazines and encyclopedias. The environment was calm and peaceful and good for working people and students. 

Now since I had my classes from morning 6:00 am till 3:00 pm I decided to head towards café rather than going to dormitory. People came ordered, some of them came to read books, some of them worked on their laptops and some people just sat there enjoying their food. Since there were few customers, I decided to complete my portfolio for the internship. I tried to sketch some of the latest ideas I had in my mind. Summer vacations are near, students will rush out to get hired by the best companies since this was the best time gaining some work experience and to make some money, so I had made up my mind for the top 3 companies leading in fashion industries. It was such a busy week I barely had time to eat anything some of the days I had to rely on instant noodles. It was almost closing time, there were very less chance for customers to enter so I decided to have some noodles I poured some hot water and waiting for them to get ready with very less patience and suddenly I remembered my first day of college and that person with hazel eyes. It’s not that I was terribly busy, it’s just that I was trying to keep myself busy to suppress thoughts of him, but I couldn’t control, and ignoring was the best option. Noodles were ready I was about to shove it in my mouth the entrance door clicked open, and I froze, it was the face that I did not want to appear in my thoughts and dreams because every time it did, I would go crazy and here it was in front of me my brain stopped working and my heart beat went crazy the chopsticks that was in my hand a while ago were sleeping peacefully on the floor.  

Then when I was sober enough from my imaginary drinking. I just noticed that he was all drenched with a cut at the corner of his lips, the hints of worries ran in blood, a bunch of questions ran inside my head ‘how did you get hurt?’ ‘What happened that you ended up like this?’ ‘Is it hurting too much?’ but was not sure whether to ask him or not so I just stood up and waited for him to speak and he said “Did I interrupt something” pointing at the cup of noodles and I just nodded my head as NO then he said “Good it’s not the best time to ask but is there something available like hot drinks or something” and I nodded my head in yes because I was too stunned to speak anything and he gave me questionable look and I spoke “ oh what would you like to have sir?” handing him the menu he ordered for some black coffee telling me to make it more bitter and I was surprised thinking how much bitter it would taste. He suddenly said ‘Aren’t you that yellow frock girl that day” and I was about to cry that someone like him remembered me even the colour of my dress and it was enough to make me go crazy and I said “ah...ahh yes you remembered me?” and I slapped myself mentally for saying that he replied “You seem like a girl who stays inside her head rather than real world” and I was embarrassed to an extent to bury myself in the ground. He handed me the expensive looking credit card for payment and was about to leave and then again, he stopped at the exit he turned back looked directly in my eyes and left without saying anything and I died nooooooo! not those hazel eyes again I am tired I want to sleep peacefully.  

I was ready enough to for good night deep slumber, but the question popped again why did, he appear at the café looking all so messed and hurt “I wonder How and Where did you hurt yourself?” “Why do you always look back and leave without saying anything?”
