That Soft kiss In Her Lips

She felt like someone was grabbing her blouse, preventing her from running out of the bathroom.

She turned back to see who that was, her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped.

"Is this you…" Mira murmured.

The old woman who was holding her blouse and stopping her from running out of the bathroom was the one whom Mira met yesterday at the bus station.

Mira thought, "Wait! What? What the heck? How is this even possible? Is she a human or a ghost? Why did she come here? Is she going to eat me?" Her body started to shiver. Her fingers started to dance nervously.

"Don't be scared, dear. I'm not going to eat you! I'm here to clarify something for you. Do you know how you teleported to Thailand? It's because of the watch I gave you. That watch is not yours; it's a love spell-casted watch. The watch I gave you is a gift from Cupid. If you want to stop this teleportation, you need to get a love kiss from the person you met first during the teleport. After getting that kiss, the teleporting will stop," the old woman said.

"What? Are you kidding me? I met a girl for the first time. How the hell can I kiss a woman? Even if I kissed her, how can I forget that? It will be stuck in my head until I die. I can't do it," Mira replied.

"Don't worry, Mira. It will be erased from your memory after the teleportation stops. The mission given to you by Cupid is to feel love because you haven't felt that feeling until now, so Cupid wants to give you a chance to feel it once in your life," the old woman said.

"Does everything turn normal after I kiss her? Will I really forget her?" Mira asked.

"Yes, I can't be one hundred percent sure about it, but I think you'll forget, but don't be one hundred percent sure about it because we can't predict Cupid's plans," the old lady answered and disappeared from that place.

"What the hell is happening in my life! How can I get the kiss from that woman? She was so scary. I don't want to meet her again, but I must stop this teleporting. I want to find a way to get rid of this," Mira thought while applying soap to her face aggressively.

Mira didn't know what to do. She went out of the bathroom and got ready to go to the university. When she arrived, Kiki was waiting for Mira in the classroom. Mira ignored Kiki and sat on the chair. Her blood started to boil. Her eyes turned red.

Kiki grabbed her bag and sat beside Mira. "Mira, I know you'll be angry. I know you like Krish too, but I didn't know I would fall for him too. I liked him since I met him on the first day of university, but he was so handsome, so I was afraid to tell him my feelings. I didn't expect that he also had a crush on me. Forgive me, Mira. Talk to me, please," she said.

Mira's anger rose like a pressure cooker's whistle.

"Stop your drama, Kiki. I don't want to hear your lies! You know that I like Krish, but you still hid everything from me! I'm not angry with you because Krish loves you! I'm angry because you didn't tell me that you also like him. If you had told me that before, I wouldn't be heartbroken like this. You stabbed me in the back, Kiki," Mira was ready to throw her hands at Kiki's face while saying those words.

At that time, Krish came into the class and sat beside Kiki. Mira and Kiki stopped their argument. Krish held Kiki's hands, and Mira, seeing that, couldn't bear her chest pain. She suddenly stood up from the chair and left the classroom while crying. Everyone turned their heads to see Mira.

Mira ran into the restroom and started to cry. In the evening, she returned to her house. Her father and grandmother were sitting on the sofa and chatting with each other about Mira's wedding.

"Son! Mira's age is also increasing. Are you going to keep her and marry her off after she becomes old? This is not good, son! Listen to me! Let's marry Mira to your nephew Arun! What do you think of my idea?" said the old woman.

"I also thought about it, Mom. Mira is turning 23 this year. It's better to engage her with Arun," replied Mira's father, Mohan.

Mira heard that while standing behind the wall, and she was pissed off. She didn't want to marry her cousin Arun because he is a playboy who always plays with other girls' emotions and body.

Mira ran towards her room and started to cry. The constant pressure made her unable to breathe, and she suffocated. Holding her chest, she slowly stumbled to her feet and looked out the window of her room at the moon outside. Tears poured from her eyes like pearls.

"Mom! No one cares about me, including your husband! I don't want to call that greedy man my dad, do you know that? That stupid old lady and his son are planning to engage me with that motherf*cker Arun. I don't want to marry him. Mom, take me with you. I don't want to live with these heartless people," Mira cried so hard.

Her head started to ache. She lost control. Her body started to tremble. Her vision became blurry. She felt it was hard to breathe. She felt her body becoming weak and weightless. Mira fainted for a moment. As she was about to faint, the hands of her watch began to tick rapidly.

Mint was watching a TV show peacefully. Then suddenly, Mira appeared in front of her, falling into her lap. Mint was shocked for a moment. She felt like she had a mini heart attack. She patted Mira's cheek with her hands. Mira didn't open her eyes.

Mint's fear grew. She took the water from the bottle in front of her and sprinkled it on Mira's face.

Mira slowly woke up from her coma. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mint's face as her mother's face. She hugged Mint and started to cry.

"Mom! I missed you so much. Don't let me go. I feel so depressed. Today I saw Krish holding Kiki's hands, and your husband wants me to marry that bullsh*t Arun. Why, Mom? Why does everything happen to me like this? What wrong did I do? I don't want to live anymore," she sobbed.

Mint's heart felt heavy after hearing those words from Mira. She also cried while hugging Mira. "I don't know what kind of hardship you're feeling. Even though I don't know who you are, why does my chest hurt when I see you crying?" Mint thought while patting Mira's back.

"Don't worry, dear! Everything will be alright," Mint said. Mira raised her head. She realized that the person she was hugging was not her mom; it was Mint. She released Mint from the hug and said "sorry" to Mint.

Wiping Mira's tears, "Don't cry! I don't know how to comfort you. I don't know what kind of hardship you're facing, but you can share your problems with me, okay? Let me hug you," Mint hugged Mira.

That hug made Mira feel so warm and relaxed. Mira's stomach rumbled with hunger. "Did you have your dinner?" Mint asked. "No, I didn't," Mira said while touching her stomach.

Mint went to the kitchen and grabbed some food from the fridge. "Ah, eat this," Mint handed the food to Mira. Mira tasted a bite, her face brightened, she forgot her worries, and started to eat instant noodles.

"If you don't mind, can I ask you what your name is and how you appeared in my house? I couldn't understand. I didn't ask you before because you looked so sad, but now you're feeling better, so can you tell me about it?" Mint asked Mira.

Mira choked on the noodles. She slowly rolled her eyes to look at Mint and gulped nervously. "You won't believe me if I tell you the truth. I teleport to Thailand every night until I get a love kiss from you. I know you can't believe it, but I need your help now. Can you give me a kiss to stop this teleportation? But I won't force you because I know kissing a stranger is not a good idea," Mira said in a nervous voice.

"Still, I can't help but believe it. I'll help you. Kissing a stranger is hard. I'm an actress, but it's still hard for me to kiss a co-working actor, too, but it's okay. Have you ever kissed anyone before?" Mint playfully teased Mira.

"Holy sh*t. I can't imagine my first kiss was lost to a girl. It feels so awkward," Mira replied while smiling. Mint leaned close to Mira while listening to her. Mira gulped when Mint leaned close to her. Her legs started to shiver with nervousness. She slowly leaned back on the sofa.

Within a moment, Mira's eyes widened. Her heart started to beat faster. Mint grabbed Mira's waist with her hand and pressed her lips to Mira's lips. Mira's eyes closed slowly.

"So, this is the feeling of kissing someone. It's really different from what is described in books and websites, but I like it. Finally, I lost my first kiss to a stranger who is a girl," Mira thought while kissing Mint.

"Why is my heart racing this fast? I feel like I'm lost in a parallel world. I've acted in many kiss scenes, but I've never had this indescribable feeling while kissing someone. It feels weird, but I like it," Mint thought while kissing Mira.
