The book

It was another Sunday morning ,and valentina was again going to pay a visit to her ms.fitzgerald today,since the last time an important work came up and she had to leave early ,and the library was still not maintained ,so today she swore to wrap everything up and lessen one more task off her shoulders.

Kissing her aunt-cum-mother goodbye ,she went out of the house ,on her way ,she saw calista sitting in a café with her friend Brittney.

Valentina's face again morphed into a jealous one ,she never liked this girl,calista always falls pray to these shrewd girls and Abriella always ends up creating a great fuss over this matter,last time they beated two girls to death as they were trying to pull a dirty prank on calista.Abriella being herself ,heard it and smashed their faces ,the café owner was raffaela's good friend ,so he handled the matter expertly otherwise Abriella would have ended up behind the bars.

The girl was all sweet and kind unless someone pushes her button.

On that day ,calista promised both Valentina and Abriella to not indulge with these girls anymore ,but here she was ,again indulged with some craps.

Valentina wanted to go and teach calista a lesson but as she was running late,she walked away ,not before making up her mind to give calista a good slap on her both cheeks today only.

She entered the library and saw ms'fitzgerald already fumbling with the books in her hands.

She rushed over to her and took the books from her hands,

Giving her a kind smile ,she said,''you need not take any trouble aunt ,I am still here.''

Fitzgerald gave her a polite smile and then with a brief sweet chuckle she said,''of course dear!you are just as precious to me as my own daughter.Now leave these books and go towards the historical romance section ,I have kept a carton there ,arrange all the books present in that carton in an alphabetical order,will that be okay with you?''

''Yes Aunt ! Now you go ,I have a lot of work to do''she said while rolling her sleeves up and then dabbing like a child making fitzgerald laugh.

''Silly girl!'' she muttered and then laughed out lowly and walked away.

Valentina also went in the directed place and read the name plate on the shelf which read'Historical section .''

She opened the carton and slowly started arranging all the books in alphabetical order.

Soon almost half of the carton was empty when she saw a very old and dusty hardcovered book lying In the carton,she frowned in confusion and picked the book up ,it was quite heavy.

She opened the book and the first page read ,''forever ends with us''.

It was the title of the book ,It was such a unique title .

She immediately felt a rush of emotions ,without any reason ,she was having this weird feeling of great longing ,she looked at the book and for a moment ,felt herself zoning out.

Her heart started to beat crazily in her chest as if it was about to meet the one who got away a long time ago.

All these feelings were too sudden and confusing for her ,she knew if she would take this book with her ,ms.fitzgerald won't mind but she would definitely inspect this book herself ,which she somehow didn't want to happen,

She put that book on the ground and immediately started arranging the other books in a particular order ,as soon as she was done,she placed the empty carton away and informed Ms.fitzgerald ,who was almost done with her work ,about her departure.

The latter nodded at the information and softly smiled at her ,permitting her to leave.

Valentina left immediately ,however her restlessness didn't stay hidden from the experienced eyes of the old lady.

She smiled in triumphant ,

The fate has thrown it's first card ,the game of the fulfillment of their unrequited love had finally began.

Valentina sneakily entered the house ,as it was almost eight –thirty .

She left te library at sharp five but before going to her house she went to abriella's house ,took a paper bag from her to put the book in ,and then they went to calista's home,to give her a good beating and put some sense into her brain.

After they were done teaching her a lesson ,they went to eat their favorite oreo mc flurry ,as calista was sulking and in order to make her happy ,they had to go to her favorite place.

All this took a lot of time which led her to run late.

She was about to climb up the stairs when the lights got turned on ,almost blinding her .

She opened her eyes to see the frail figure of Anna standing with her arms folded to her chest ,looking at her with a fierce look on her face.

Valentina upon witnessing her angry expressions ,gave her a cheeky yet nervous smile and greeted her ,''g-good evening Aunt!''

The old lady instead of replying to her greeting ,asked her,''where were you?young lady?''

''I was with my friends,so chill!''valy said

''This late!''she asked.

''I went out for just three hours ,not for thirty years ,why are you scolding me?''

Annna suddenly raised her voice and said,''never say these words again!''

Valy simply raised her hands up in surrender while saying,''okay!okay!''

''I had my dinner outside ,so don't heat the food for me now! Bye!I'm sleepy! Good night!'''

Anna felt as if valy was trying to hide something also she was sticking to the stairs as if she had brought some pet home and was trying to hide it behind her back.Her behavior was strange.

Still drowned in these thoughts anna went into her room.

On the other hand valy rushed into her room and squealed in delight.

She was going to read a romance book finally ,that too ,a hardcover ,ancient type of book.

She felt so special.

She put the book on the bed ,and went inside the bathroom to take a quick shower.

It was necessary for valentina to have a shower twice a day ,especially during summer.

Summer never suited her,Her skin was sensitive to heat ,she would get heat rashes on her breast and they would sometimes each ,so her gyneocologist preferred her to take bath twice a day and use unscented products.

She came out feeling better,and plopped down on the bed.

She picked the book up and tried to open it,but to her utter surprise,the book didn't open.

Valy frowned in confusion but again tried to open it ,but the book didn't open again.

Valy was now both surprised and scared.

When she opened this book in the library it got opened but now it was as if someone has pasted it with hard glue.

Valy felt that this book was possessed,so she immediately got up ,opened her suitcase ,threw all her new clothes out of it and put the book their and then brought her bible and tied both the books together and placed them in that suitcase,and then kept the clothes back in the suitcase and sprinkled holy water on it while mumbling some prayers in her mind.

Thinking ,she was safe ,she placed the suiltcase back on the top of almirah and jumped on her bed ,covering herself from the blanket from head to toe .

She thought,''I would put this book back to the place from where I picked it up ,Please mr.ghost if this book,don't eat me in the night ,I would send you back to your home,I am a good girl ,I wont give you to a priest ,I tied a bible with you for protection ,hope you understand.''she kept on mumbling her heartfelt apologies to the ghost and didn't know when the sleep engulfed her.
