It's all in the eyes! Yes, the Universe is in the eyes!

Freedom is the word that when I heard for the first time gave me goosebumps. The aroma of it always draws my soul into its depths but freedom must come with a price; that's why the sky is trapped between sun and moon and people like us.

I looked back at him saw him glaring at me without any suspicion noticing all my flaws as I am the brightest flower on the earth.

At that moment I realize there is something between us that is always left unsaid.

"So what are you waiting for? Come with me!" His engraving eyes were resting on my face.

"To where?"

To the infinity?

"At my house, of course, you can't go back to University it's already late!"

It may not be a terrible idea I can trust him. He had always benefited me, never left my side and never done anything wrong to me. I think I can trust him from now on.

"Okay," I whispered back.

"Are you still that woman who is ready to do fight anytime and always asks questions right? Or somebody else?"

I rolled my eyes, he always has a hardship with me, " oh come on stop being dramatic!"

"No, you are not Julia!"

He needs to shut up seriously!

"Wait let me prove you," he just cannot accept the better side of me.

"Yes show me everything," now he started blushing!

"Here take this, perv!" I smacked hard on his arm.

"Ouch! Okay fine, you are Julia! Now we can leave, shall we?"
He extended his arm, Ha! I can walk on my own.

"Excuse me, Mr follow me!"

*****

We are outside his home, rubbing our hands because it got frosty here. The night was itself scary to glimpse at and the silence could kill someone from its existence but I was not anxious about it anyways I was feeling warmer; warmer than anything in the world.

I could feel his gaze on me when I was rubbing my hands.

It's tempting beyond all expertise.

"You need my jacket?"

He raised his eyebrows and asked me if that could help me but how could I describe him I was feeling warm and cold both at the same time.

"You look like you are going to pass out anytime soon! Are you alright?"

"Of course I am,"

No, I am not! I am not fine and I don't think I will ever be.

"Oh calm down!"

"I am already steady thank you very much! And look at you? always staring at me what do you think? I am moon to your eyes?"

Huh!

After a long pause, he laughed just chuckled like a child who had no idea what he is doing in this strange world but when I smacked him again on his arm he stopped!

"It's my eyes I can do whatever I want with them! And no you are not the moon to my eyes, the moon has scars anyways, you can consider yourself a dusty star if you want!" He winked.

"You know you are impossible!"

"Shhh," he put his finger on my lips to make me stop talking!

Let me tell you one thing it's so bloody wrong to stop a girl from talking so I was just about to bite his finger when the door flew open.

"Oh, darling what are you doing here?"

A blonde girl opened the door. She was looking like a model a breathtaking one. She was wearing a black dress hugging her curves so flawlessly that it would put me to shame!

But who is she? Why is she calling him a darling?

And this idiot guy was smiling as he has never seen a girl like her in his life!

"Just standing here Jessica!"

Oh, so this girl has a name! You know what? This guy is a fucking reckless! He had a thing with Sarah and God knows if he has flings with other girls too and now this? I seriously want to punch him on his stomach so that he cannot laugh in his life not at least ahead of this girl!

"Who is this girl?"

Oh, finally they recognized my presence! They recognized that I, Julia, the Indian girl standing here with all her almighty looking at her while crossing my hands just in case I needed to do an argument!

"She is Julia, my best friend!

What the? At what time did I become his best friend?

" ...and Julia she is Jessica, my half-sister!"

Why half why not full?

"Oh nice to meet you," I blushed! When I wanted to run away from here.

"Oh come in don't be sneaky here,"
She finally let us enter the huge mansion or anything you call it.

"So where are mom and dad?"

He looked nervous at mentioning his parents. Maybe they don't bond with each other as much as other parents do!

And I do remember from the last encounter he didn't look delighted at all by witnessing them.

Strange!

"No, they are not here consider yourself lucky,"

I want to ask why lucky! But didn't dare to open my mouth.

"You take care of her I am going to freshen up,"

And without giving me a second thought to gather myself he vanished into thin air like a ghost.

I was silent, and she was silent too I just stood there where was I and looked at the ceiling the huge chandelier was blooming the hall magnificently in its magic and something was not right.

"So you are seriously his best friend?"

I was just about to say no when she cuts me in the middle.

"You look so sincere, I like you otherwise girls these days are just about showoff!"

She caught me off-guard which makes me blush. I know I must be looking like a deep red potato.

"Oh, you are blushing, HAHAHA!"

She out of nowhere pulled my cheek and patted my head.

Wait does she thinks I am a child? Or maybe she is older than us or married? When I saw a ring on his finger and noticed her pale face.

"Thank you, Mrs Jessica," I nodded silently.

"And no I am not his best friend he is just foolish to say that!"

"Well you are a good girl so let me give you advice don't trust him!"

What??

Trust him with what?

"What do you mean?"

She looked at me, gazed at my eyes, noticed me from head to toe and then shook his head in bewilderment.

She opened her mouth and closed it again but when she was about to say something Neel's voice reached our ears.

"So what's going on here? Is Dinner already ready Sis?"

His footsteps were hard this time, hard on the wood as they were remarking his presence in the woods.

"Oh yes, of course, let's eat dinner!"

It was all Indian food. For the love of almighty thank God!

"She loves this as much as we do!" He silently whispered in my ears making me difficult to focus on food.

But when we started eating we realized it was just the beginning, the food was too delicious.

*****

I was alone in the room where it was all dark resting my shoulder on the pillows when my mind was roaming around the universe that was the time when I heard a knock on the door and before I could answer to come in he was already there.

"I can't sleep!"

He was rubbing his eyes due to the darkness in my room, maybe it was too dark for him. But I could see in his eyes there was no exactness of sleep in them.

"Well because of you neither can I!"

I was lying! I was not able to sleep two in this bed.

"So?"

"So what?"

"Let's go to the garden and we can stare at stars and moon all night!"

"What's with you and your obsession with the universe?"

It was me who dared to ask this question!

"Tell me if you have any better idea?"

"Come on don't waste time we have already crossed midnight so be silent and follow me!"
