Chapter 2 : NEW ARRIVAL

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..
