The Shooting Star That Called My Name.

Dariya woke up from the sleep and looked at Lu Han. He looked peaceful and happiness written on his face as he slept. She gave a kiss on his lips and noticed the ring on a chain around his neck. She was reminded of her favorite ring she thought she lost during pottery lessons. She touched running her fingers on them.


 "This was what kept me going the past five years. Only thing I had of you." He said waking up from the sleep. It looked like he wasn't sleeping after all. He hugged her and kissed her hair. "I have thought about you every single day and ask mom about how you were doing? She would tell me everything and I wondered if you would really run away one day as you used to say." He said.


"You will get into trouble then." He said.


"That's the only thing I have had in my whole life. What's new about it! Trouble seems to be my sibling than Devon." she told him and they laughed. "I don't want to go back." She said again hugging him tightly. 


He kissed her again and they laid there wrapped in each other's arms for another hour. Dariya's phone rang in the middle. Lu Han searched under for the bag under their heap of clothes and got it for her. It was Nara.


"Where are you Dariya? Mom and Dad are back. Come home." Nara ordered her.


"Whose?" Dariya asked back thinking its Nara's.


"Yours. Come fast. What question is that?"


"Yes. How many mom and dad do you have?And We have guests for dinner today. Come fast and get ready."


"I will be there in an hour" Dariya assured her. She checked the time and it was 4 in the evening. Nara without asking anything further and hung up. Dariya got tensed. She had no idea what to do.


"Your parents are back?" Lu Han asked as they dressed up and ran towards the car to leave. "We can reach there in 45 minutes don't worry." He told her. They sped home and Lu Han dropped her and went back.


She was scared if they would find out anything seeing her. Her parents were already waiting for her. Her mom came and hugged her. 


"where were you? I heard you went out with Lu Han." Kiara said kissing on her cheek. 


"We went out for a delivery and the car broke down so we got a bit late and it rained." She lied plainly whatever came in her mind that time. Her dad was sitting on the sofa watching the mother and daughter embracing. 


"Dad" she called. Go change and get fresh. 


"We have a lot to tell you." He told her. Dariya went straight to her room running and locked the door behind her. She walked towards the mirror and stood watching her.


 "What did I just do today?" she covered her face with the hands for a moment and walked towards the washroom. She didn't flinch as the cold water touched her body. She stood still deep in thoughts recollecting every moment that had happened.


 She saw the fields inside her head walking in between the green plants that are yet to bloom she heard him say how he has bought it and she also felt him loving her, every inch of her. 


She stopped smiling and walked out of the shower in robes. She noticed the love bites around her neck and chest and tried to over them with the foundation. She blushed red as the thoughts kept popping up in her mind. She dried her hair and walked over to the closet. She put on makeup and chose a sky blue palazzo pants with a it's sky blue short sleeveless frilled top. She put on the long sky blue coat on top and put her tied lose on one side.
