Episode 1

Zoey ran to the nearby bus stop as the rain started pouring. Her ocean blue eyes shone even in the dark atmosphere. Her neatly tied hair was loose now. She slowly took off the band from her hair. It fell smoothly on either side of her shoulder. She tucked back the hair locks which fell on her cheeks. Her pink heart-shaped lips shivered in the cold. She turned left to look at her friend who hadn't reached the bus stop yet.

“Rose, stop playing in the rain… you are going to catch a cold… don’t come to me when you are sick.” Zoey shouted at Rose who was enjoying the rain.

Rose was getting irritated by Zoey’s motherly tone. She ran to the bus stop where Zoey was standing.

“You got no fun at all Zoey,” said an irritated Rose.

Rose Anderson and Zoey White were best friends since high school and they have sworn to be together forever. They always kept their words till now. Both of them are journalists at Cosmic, a well-reputed Magazine company in New York. They just left the company after work but were caught in the rain.

“My little uncle would kill me if he finds out that I played in the rain”. Zoey said with a sigh.

“Blah blah blah. You and your little uncle! I don’t want to hear anything”. Rose made an angry face and turned away.

Zoey started to laugh seeing her childish reaction. Rose was always like that. She always loved to enjoy the rain, but Zoey, on the other hand, hated rain. She wasn’t a big fan of rain as she would easily catch a cold.

Zoey met her little uncle when she was five. She came back to her father’s house from Greenwich Village where she lived with her mother Sarah John alone till she was five. She rarely saw her father back in Greenwich Village. Sarah always told her that her father was a businessman and he was busy managing his company and she always didn’t forget to mention that sooner or later he would come and take them back to his home.

One day when Zoey came back after playing with her friends, she found out that her father had come to take her and her mother to his house. She was very excited to go there. Her friends from Greenwich Village told her that rich people had big houses, cars, and big rooms. So the sight of the big Whites Mansion created awe in 5-year-old Zoey. That’s when she saw her little uncle. Mother and father told her that she can play as much as she wants with her little uncle. The impression of that 10-year-old little uncle looking at her with his dreamy eyes imprinted on her heart forever.

He was her everything from that very day. They played, ate, slept, and even did many mischievous things together. Even though her little uncle became a little cold after he grew up, she still loved him a lot and he was always her favorite person. She could look at his handsome face all day and night and he was the most perfect person in her eyes. When she was 8, her parents died in a car accident and all she had was him. As years passed by she slowly realized that she was falling in love with her little uncle. She knew she was wrong and she shouldn’t grow any feelings for him. But she was unable to prevent her heart from falling for him and he was the first man she had ever loved.
