A crush?
The room was cloaked in darkness except for that dim light which was giving the ability to sense the surroundings..
The white curtains were flowing with the wind, not fearing the man in front of them..
The man , Mr Henry, who held a cigarette in between his index and middle finger..but not even taking a puff..
Well, because he was stuck.. His mind , his eyes and everything were stuck.. And he was just staring at the flower bouquet placed on a flower vase which was also new..
Because come on, no one ever brought a single flower to his room.. And now there's a whole bouquet.. Obviously his dad bought a vase to keep it..
From the morning, every single person is staring at Henry like they've seen an alien or something..
But does he care? No fvking way..
Then why's he so disturbed?
Henry (ML)
Never ever a girl tried to come here..
Henry (ML)
Never ever a girl tried to talk to me, even after knowing my real identity
Henry (ML)
Never ever a person returns favors even after knowing that it's not needed..
Henry (ML)
She has self respect..
Henry (ML)
she's something..
He was murmuring under his breath..
And the image of her suddenly came to his mind.. those big eyes.. They were holding so much..
Those wounds and cuts on her face and body..
Henry (ML)
She should have gone to the doctor for a check up..
Then he remembered how she got cheerful when he accepted the flowers and the money.. And a soft little smile appeared on the corner of his lips..
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of the food..
A soft humming was coming from the kitchen..
Granny
Ava , child.. what are you making?
Ava (FL)
I'm just making some strawberry pancakes..
Granny
*smile softly* I make you go through a lot of trouble? Right!
Ava (FL)
Oh granny what are you saying??
Granny
You're just 19.. And you have to manage all these by yourself.. Sometimes I feel that I'm just a burden.. *eyes became teary*
Hearing that ava hugged her tightly..
Ava (FL)
Don't ever say these things again.. *eyes teared up*
Ava (FL)
You and grandpa did everything for me..
Ava (FL)
That no one ever did..
Ava (FL)
after my parents, you are the only one I have grandma.. I love you a lot.. And doing all these things doesn't make me feel troubled.. I love doing all these..
Granny
*place her hand on ava's head and caressed it*
Ava (FL)
I love you grandma..
Granny
I love you too my child *kissed her forehead*
Ava hugged her granny for a quick second and then suddenly left her and cleared her throat
Ava (FL)
Okay.. Enough being sentimental for today.. My pancake will burn.. Let me cook.. Go to the dining darling..
Granny
*chuckles* as you order darling
They both winked at each other and went to their respective work..
Ava again got busy cooking when suddenly a face came to her eyes..
Ava smiled more like blushed..
well.. Ava has a secret.. She has a huge crush on Henry from before..
It all started, When her grandpa died, she was 8 years old.. Her uncle and aunt took the house forcefully and drove them away from the house..
Thank god, Mr Smith, ava's grandpa kept this house hidden from his younger son or otherwise it would have been taken away too..
Mrs Lilly , ava's grandma did a lot of small works to give a better future to Ava..
But she was aged , and Soon she became ill.. She couldn't take all the pressure and responsibilities on her own..
And then ava's life struggle started
She started working part time jobs at the age of 12.. Though she continued to study in a public school..
When she was struggling through her life, depression and anxiousness was something very common for her..
But suddenly her life changed..
She clearly remembered that day.. She turned 16 that day..
It was raining heavily outside.. And She was cleaning the dishes in some restaurant, when her eyes stuck at the tv..
There was a news playing.. The reporter was reading the news where they received a message from the Infamous Gang leader of Phoenix..
Reporter - Mr Henry , the leader of Phoenix , sent a voicemail to us.. After saying that she played the voice mail.. And everyone could hear a gruffy voice - " When I was 12 , the world didn't show me mercy.. So forget about world peace when I'm 32..Though, it's My birthday today, I'm considerate enough to give everyone a big surprise.. boom!"
The reporter started talking again but ava couldn't even listen to her..
She didn't even care when the reporter said the Pheonix gang had caused three bomb blasts that day..
Her ears were echoing the voicemail in her head..
Ava (FL)
(was his life like me? He also suffered? it's his birthday today like me.. Did someone even wish him? )
After that she couldn't stop thinking about him..
She started reading about him.. And learning about him from people's mouths..
Though people feared him.. But somehow that made ava smile..
From that day.. She learnt to be strong.. She wanted to be strong like Mr Henry..
