COFFEE (Chap 2)-Ruby

 

CHAPTER-2

    On a sunny morning, I was sitting alone in a chair in my apartment; my eyes were looking into a faraway mountain cliff through the window. But my mind was filled with her thoughts. Her beautiful face, smile, and vibration she radiates all make me think of her 24*7. 

I wasn't able to concentrate on anything. My mind is being shattered every second.

"Jasiel, why are you sitting here? What happened to you? Why don't you come to university?" – George asked. He is my best friend, more correctly the only friend I have in this city. He is my batchmate at Teresa medical university. We have been living together for the past 1 1/2 years. He is not just a friend for me; moreover, my brother stayed by my side in happiness and sorrow. 

"Are you deaf? He again asked me. Suddenly I woke up from my hallucination." 

"Sorry, George" 

"What were you thinking? I called you and texted you… Why don't you come to university? Are you not feeling well?

"What's happening to me? I wondered". How can I tell him that I was thinking about a beautiful girl I saw in church yesterday?" I suddenly try to deviate him from the topic.

We head to our Lab, where we are doing our Ph.D. work. There are 7 people on our team. We are currently on our career in Genomic medicine. As I entered the Lab, I started working. Suddenly I saw her next to me, working busily with a microscope. "Why I am thinking about her all the time," I scolded myself.

All team members were called for a meeting. Our professor Dr. Albert started introducing a new team mate. "This is Zehra from Israel; she will be joining our team from today.

Everybody started talking to her. She was so intelligent and friendly. George took me with him to her to introduce ourselves. "Hello Zehra, how are you? Welcome to our team. I am George."

"Yeah, I am good, what about you, George?" – She asked back. I was standing beside him like a rock, watching them talk. I couldn't say a word. They spoke for about ten minutes, but I didn't hear anything. I was just immersed in her radiating beauty. I was really enjoying it. I wished this moment should last forever.

Chapter 1

  ____________________________________________

It was the last week of the year. I can smell the cold. The clock stopped 20 minutes past 5, and I just opened my eyes. Everything seemed blurry. I tried to lift my head, but pain dragged me down. I began to shiver with cold. My hands and feet were stiff in ice, and my heart was frozen. Something was itching from inside, and it felt like a needle dipped in alcohol was pierced through the skin. My eyes started dozing automatically. In a semi-anesthetic condition, I could hear someone murmuring. They were talking about medicines; I could listen to the beeping sound of some machines. I can see the sunlight falling into the room through the window; the chirping sound of Birds reaches my ears. The busy city is nearly visible far away. I could make out nothing but the pain was killing me. Every time I close my eyes, she appears in my mind.                                           

                                           A girl with a sculptured figure and perfect body proportions, saffron-tinted complexion. A pair of slender eyebrows; look down on sweeping velvet eyelashes, Ebony black eyes which are expressive and beautiful, it shares many stories when we gaze through it. Her plummy lips were lilac soft. 

Her black hair flowed over her shoulders; puffy cheeks blushed every time she smiled, with an elegant personality and a sugary voice which everyone adores. She is a pure Aedh with viridity. And had the power of earth, which attracted everything towards it. 

                                             It was when the ember-red leaves of autumn burn slowly, I saw her for the first time. I frequently visited the church but never saw a beautiful girl like her before, thinking she would be new to the city. She was in a pitch-black gown, making me feel that she was a NYX. 

                                   She was friendly to all. Everyone likes her too, a girl with a passionate mind and a hardworking body. I wished to know more about her. 

But to whom I can ask?  

If I ask someone about her, what will they think of me? If she came to know about this, what would be her reaction? Several questions were raised in my mind. But the quest to know about her didn't go from me.
