A Diamond In The Sky

     I wasn't just confused, I was perplexed about the whole thing with him. He just has this strong aura around him and I am trying to understand what it is all about. The way he said I never changed got me and I felt that the explanation he gave me was not enough, he was probably hiding something. He definitely knows something about me that I don't know.

   "Hey, what's making you stand there? Hop on the bed"

  He said with his eyes glued on the laptop. I reluctantly walked to his bed and sat on the edge, making sure not to fall off. I raised my eyes to ask him to bring the laptop closer and I met with his stares. I could not break away from his stares. There was something about the way he stares at me, he was trying to pass a message to me which I can't understand.

   Before I could realize myself, he pulled me to the center of the bed.

  "What are you afraid of, you think I will eat you up?"

He asked, lingering his stares on me. I shook my head momentarily.

    "Let me see the script"

I managed to say and he smiled at me.

 "Here" He said, pushing the laptop to me. I scanned what he had on the screen and smiled. I love the plot of the story. I went through the script and while at it I could not stop smiling.

     "I love what I see. But don't you think the friend was not supposed to have her since they are not soulmates?" I asked him referring to the female lady who got ditched in her past life by her supposed mate and when she got reborn, she got entangled with two guys, one is her mate in the other life while the other is a friend to the mate and the friend, knowing their love story back then felt the mate is not supposed to have her so he fought tooth and nail and won her heart. The supposed mate turned villain when he ate a forbidden fruit given to him by an old witch in his quest to get his mate back from his friend.

   Love turned obsession and when he could not have her because he heart was poisoned, he killed her.

    "I know that's what everyone wants me to write but is every story supposed to have a happy ending? Who said that the heroine or hero of a movie can't be killed?"

  He asked with his eyes fixed in my face. I swallowed and looked away. I felt connected to this story somehow. I was forced to ask myself what becomes of me if Zain can't let me go even though he is married.

     "You know as a script writer, there's a message that you convey in every of your script and humans always wants good to be prevail, they don't appreciate it when at the end of your story, an evil perpetrator gets away with his sins, it makes your audience unhappy so for the entertainment of them, you give them what they want not what you want."

I gave him my humble opinion,

  "But it's your story, you are the writer, you write whatever you want. It's a good piece and trust Bollywood to do justice to it"

   He sighed and relaxed in the bed while resting his eyes on me.

  "You are pretty smart and I can tell you that you know so much about scripts. I understand all you said but I am not a preacher of happy ending, I love stories that end in tears. Stories that your mistake or past catches up with you and you will have no redemption but to suffer the consequences."

   I loosened my stiff shoulders and leaned on the wall.

    "I bet you, you will make cool cash from this."

   "That's the goal, to collect the bag. We strive to make the money, nothing more"

He responded, still having his eyes on me.

  "Can you tell me a little about yourself?"

I asked, I just want to engage him in a conversation since I was done cross checking his script for him.

  "It was just the two of us, my brother and I with our mother. We had no clue of who our father is because our mother said he left when I was just a month old. They had an issue and dad thought it's ok if he leaves the marriage and he left. Since we grown-up, we haven't seen him. Mother strived hard for Zain and I. We had nothing but mum made sure she gave us everything and when Zain won a scholarship to study abroad, it was a huge win for all of us and when he was done with school, life became better for us. He is a social Media engineer.

   I can tell you that we are now better and life is easier for us and I am grateful even though I am an ass."

    I was touched by his story. It's quite similar to our own only that Dad was there for us until his death. I can imagine what it means not to have a father. I have not been in that shoe so I can't tell.

   "The good thing is you two are doing well. It doesn't matter how we started, what matters is how it is going and how it's going to end. The end has to be everything."

I told him and he smiled then drew closer to me.

  "You know, you are a very pretty woman and man will be lucky to have you because you are a diamond in the sky"

He said and caressed my lips.

   "Your lips are so inviting that I would want to bury myself in it. I wonder how it tastes? Should I see how?"

   I could tell him to go to hell but I was mesmerized by his eyes, I also want to see how his lips taste but what will that make me? A whore that I am already.

   How will society describe my situation? I met a dude and fell in love with him then he ditched me and married my sister. Later on while I was in his house, I tripped for his brother who would obviously ditch me because he has Zain's brother running through him. I know I am crazy but I use my head not my heart.
