Adventure Suspense Drama

“Flowers are beautiful” Dewmi stated smiling with the flowers.

Aasuka walk to her then touch the flowers which her fingers are playing with.

“Yes, but weak and fragile” he said moment later,

“And soon it will wither.” He completed.

He looked at her intensely “there for no use.” He smiles with her.

Dewmi felt the high voltage electricity which ran through her spine.

His tone and his glance convinced her that he mean every word he said.

In a blink of an eye he smashed the flower with his two fingers.

And dropped the smashed pieces of the flower and a creepy smile flash on his face.

“Now it’s gone just like that.”

…………………………………………………………………………….

I look up at my audience; they are silence and looking at me. I try to read their faces.

They all are standing where Dewmi was moment ago, facing his ruthless invasion over her world.

Desperately or may be angrily,

“What just happened? Does he planning to kill her?”  First question pop up from them.

"I don’t understand him; I mean I thought he likes her?"

Before my answer, another girl admits her point out and looks around for others opinions. But she found nothing but lot more confused expression just as she is.

“But why smashing flowers?" A wise question popup.

 “Doesn’t he know what flowers really mean?” She looked at me directly and questioned.

Now they are looking at me, expecting some answers,

“Did he ever like Dewmi?”        

 “Yes, I guess he is.”

“Is Dewmi is nice lady?”

                               “Yes, Dewmi is nice lady that is for sure.”

“Then why he does what he did?”

                       “I am not sure why, it’s too early to make judgments.”

“If you are Aasuka, will you do the same to her?”

Another question which is touching.

I smile at return.

Once upon a time,

I met her, Just like Aasuka.

 She is special, she is different I learn that in our first encounter.

But how? And why?

For me it was hard to specify.

In fact I didn’t realize how I feel about her and I didn’t know what I want to think about her.

But I was curious, curious everything about her.

At first she act bit shy, in her presence I also act bit shy too,

I get confused and uncertain about my doing when she was around.

Back then,

I didn’t realize she is there for me, but still she was there for me.

She knew everything about me even a difference of my heart beat.

Bit by bit I fell deeply in love with her.

For me she is the person who I will fight against the world with.

……………………………………………………….

“Is that possible?” I wake up from my trance.

“They were in love.” The conversation is still continuing,

“I don’t know about you people, I think he did the right thing here,”

One student launched his laser missile against the others. But his missile didn’t reach the target because there was thousands of antimissiles there waiting for his missile.

He became the center of the conversation so he start to explain,

“She is different person, so he might think she needs a proper enlightenment? He said.

“She needs enlightenment for what exactly?”  A girl retaliates.

“To let her step in his world and realize he is powerful person? May be?”

 He added moment later.

“And he does that smashing weak, fragile soon withered flowers?” She asked for confirmation.

“May be yes.” He blinked twice.

Class was confused with his answer so everyone demand for explanation.

I give space for the conversation because I want to know his explanation.

Because I want to know what he will do if he was there just like Aasuka, or just like me.

Once upon a time,

Don’t depend on anyone or anything.”

This is more like a measurement when it comes to judging someone,

But I didn’t thought about this, not at once,

Until I meet her,

I knew she love me, believe me I loved her back more than she loved me,

She knew every bit of me but,

I didn’t understood her, I didn’t understand her language,

She tried every possible way to convey her massage first I don’t understand,

Or,

I learn it late. But she forgave every mistake of mine.

Comparing to me,

She is gorgeous, she is amazing, she is lovely and she is …list can go on and on.

When she is with me I am the happiest person in the galaxy

But,

What if she don’t want stay with me anymore.

What if she learned that poor struggling survivor like me is not good enough to share such a rich life of her?

“What will I do?”

No answer is always frustrating, and I couldn’t think about a life without her.

So finally I decided,

To be strong, to be powerful, and to be wealthier.

So I can stop her leaving me.

Standing by my side she can live in my world freely, happily just like she lived her life in her world.

So we can live happily ever after.

I knew she is stubborn, I knew she will fight back so I must act wisely,

Once I made my world perfect she has no other option (Or reasons) but to stay with me forever.

So I did everything in my power,

Once she realized my intentions she disagreed, then she struggled,

And I fought back for her for us.

My attempt of conquering the world made my world so little place which made her suffocating,

She couldn’t live there,

All my intentions, actions and directions lead me to one destination,

And at the end,

“I smashed my flower just like that.”

She left.

Not because she wants to just because she can’t live with me anymore,

She left me alone numb in this world.

……………………………………………..

Aasuka stand at his balcony, his body is burning inside of his expensive suite. Surround him he can see his dried, dusty wasteland which mirrors his life, and what has left for him.

His money, his power or his status couldn’t stand the rudeness of the sun.  He wants to see something, something he can…..

“Miss Samantha, Sorry to interrupt.”

I lift up my head and look at the girl, who stands impatient,

“Personally, I don’t like sad ending, by any chance is lord Asuka and lady Dewmi have any happily ever after?”

She asked.

I smiled thinking about the question, and I smile thinking about her who know the answer of the question.
