It was a moonlit night……filled with stars glistening like never before, as if they are celebrating some special occasion…………
I was walking along the side of the road, lost in my own thoughts. The road was more or less empty other than a few people hustling here and there.
Suddenly, I stopped dead in my track and stood still. Through the corner of my eyes, I could see four boys, all in their teens, standing at a distance of six feet from where I stood and was staring at me, with amused faces. I quickly realized what was coming. I started walking, this time fast, not even turning around to see what they were upto.
There was too much light, further, on the other side of the road. Then I saw a black Mercedes coming towards me, at full speed. I was horrified. For a moment, I thought that this was the end. This was it. I was trapped from both sides. I closed my eyes to say my last words. But, I was surprised when I heard the car come to a stop. I opened my eyes only to see another pair of eyes, staring not at me, but at those stalkers, behind me. Those eyes were full of anger and hatred. I remembered that old phrase about that could “actually kill” someone. I slowly turned around. I was amazed to see those boys shake with fear, stagger backward and then run. As I returned my gaze to the owner of those “strange” eyes, I was startled. They were looking at me with utmost concern and something more which I couldn’t fathom. Only then did I notice the beauty of those eyes and the person staring at me. His eyes were blue and had an incredible intensity to them. His rosy lips complimented his flawless face. I had to admit that he was irresistibly beautiful. I was soon taken over by him.
I couldn’t move. I could hear nothing except my heart pounding faster than usual. There was something in him that was hypnotizing me, as if I had no existence of my own. God knows how long we were standing there, his eyes locked into mine and vice versa.
Suddenly, he dropped his gaze and composed himself. I felt dizzy and was about to fall, when I felt him hold me tight with his strong hands. Last thing I remember was that he was carrying me in his arms while I held him tight by his shirt. Then, everything was blank.
