“We all are travelers in each other’s lives with our kindness. Take care of those people with this kindness, for them, it will be the most beautiful thing you could do, and they will hold onto you and you will be able to make your life heaven. The most beautiful destination for anyone.” [Jacqueline]

Her enchanting dark black eyes took in my form, from head to toe for a few seconds, and then met mine. I s***ed in a breath of air, her eyes seemed to be glimmering with stars holding in the black ink universe. While her body seems to be lit with artificial lights in the grey school uniform. A second later her pupils dilated as she looked away.

‘Why?’

‘I could guess.’

The tears at the corner of her eyes were proof that something must have happened to her. She wasn’t a cry baby that was what I got to know in a few days. Neither was she the one who feared the world, she was just a broken teenager who was brave enough to acknowledge her insecurities, who was battling with her emotions as we all were. Yet she was better than us, A person who accepts what they are dealing with is undeniably better than those who use different coping mechanisms. I sounded like a philosopher. Hah.

I didn’t even know why she affected me, but she did like some celestial spell that has fallen upon me.

I wanted to fill those enchanting eyes of hers with love for me, I wanted my lips to nibble on her chubby cheeks. I wanted my lips to flow through her like energy. I wanted to fill her body with mine. I wanted

her. But why? I didn’t know.

She wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful. But her glorious eyes that though most of the time looked empty gave me an illusion of heaven. Her body was voluptuous but was not enough to be called my wildest dream. Her lips though were a heavenly canvas of heart and natural color. They shimmered in natural light as she pressed them together and the outline of it felt like my heart was there. Her lips were purely mesmerizing. My heart bloomed when I remembered I was the first one to touch those soft petals that gave people an illusion of heart.

Earlier I had threatened Jaan after beating him. I compelled him to ask forgiveness from her but ‘that b******.’ I planned to make her smile so that she would wipe out the ugly incident from her life. But I never knew it would lead her more embarra**ed. ‘This was all because of that boy, Jaan.’

My hands clenched on the sides itching to beat the life out of him while My rounded brows plowed together.

‘How dare he!’ I was there when he was asking for an apology, I was there when he took steps towards her, I was there when he stopped her from leaving. It was my fault, that I behaved like a willfully ignorant human. How could a jerk like him apologize for his rude behavior that easily just because I beat him up? It was my negligence. I should have known better.

Even though I was hiding in the shadows because I wanted to know why he hated her, why he was so active in bullying her. But the kids have surrounded them, protecting or more specifically operating as a shield from my eyes. I was walking towards the circle when a girl screamed and my footsteps quickened, for the first time I was scared of a stranger. Me. A person who was taught to break bones since childhood. A monster, a strong lethal teenager. Coldly I pushed against kids and managed to break their chain, but the sight that awaited me made me almost run frantically. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

‘Jacqueline has fainted.’

A distant tone of ringtone echoed in, and I strode towards her. The sole of my shoes clicking against the tiled floor with renewed determination to know the reason she had cried. Her cheeks spoke red, her pupils filled with moisture. She walked towards me and for a moment I was stunned. So stunned that I forgot to breathe.

The rays of Golden sunshine danced on her fair skin, singing with shine just pure like an angel. My heartbeat accelerated, faster than it would have ever been before.

“You are here to take me right?” Her voice bellowed with helplessness and worry.

“Huh?” She stopped saying anything and pressed her lips together. And I noticed the slight tremble in her eyes as she looked back at the woman in a lab coat.

“Oh. Yes, Girlfriend. I am here for you, Mrs. Reina wants to see you only if you feel fine now.” I replied with a bold voice wanting to see her reaction.

Relief washed over her face and my smirk grew wider. ‘She didn’t notice I called her girlfriend. What did this woman say to her to make her behave like this?’ My eyes moved to the older woman who seemed surprised at my words as if she caught onto the word Girlfriend.

“Alright. Go Jacqueline we will talk some other time.”

“Thank you for taking care of my girlfriend Mam.” I gave her one of my best smiles and she smiles back.

“You’re welcome, son. Just remember to take care of her. She needs it”

After her words ended. Her eyes moved towards Jacqueline on their own accord who was weirdly quiet.

My palm seeks her palm amidst the apocalypse of my beating heart. She took it willingly, shocking me. My smile widened and I intervened our fingers together fighting back the urge to squeeze her palm through my rough fingers.

“Thank you, Mrs. Natasha.” This time she spoke and her voice felt alienated. So cold that I was intrigued.

‘What happened here? Why does she seem to take me as her knight?’ I questioned myself but then dusted it off my mind. Even if she did take advantage of me I was happy, the feeling of being her knight in shining armor was unforgettable and delightful.
