Destiny or Coincidence?

Prologue

Athira Patel

There stood a silhouette of a person which cannot be seen from this far due to the lack of light present here. But i can clearly say that i don't know this person or even i have ever met this person in my life.

But still, there is this longing feeling in the depth of my heart while I was watching his silhouette standing there leaning against the cold wall that i want to go near him and see him for myself if this is true or not.

So i started taking steps towards him slowly, and when i thought that i came near to him, he started walking away from me but was still looking at me to see if I am behind him or not.

There was this undeniable force that is dragging me towards him without my concert that my feet started walking in his direction even if I refused to do so.

The curious side of me wants to know this person who is responsible for making me walk like this state, so i started following him which lead me to a place full of different colour lights flashing everywhere and there are so many people dancing on the floor making me look at them in confusion.

I can even hear the sounds of the music playing loudly in the room with the fast beat that i thought it might be someone's party or pub i am standing at. But the real question is what am I doing here exactly at this ungodly hour?

I should have been sleeping in my bed peacefully rather than playing hide and seek with this unknown person.

Then again, I saw his silhouette standing in the middle of the floor looking at me with so much emotion in his eyes that i started taking steps towards him without me knowing that I was walking again.

What is this feeling of being attached to and why am i drawn to this figure?

I stood in front of him and was trying to take a glimpse of his face when he suddenly grabbed me by the waist and pulled me towards him closely by capturing my lips with his in a passionate kiss.

I gasped in shock at first but the feel of his lips against mine brought me back from the shock and is making me weak in my legs that I clutched his shirt tightly with both of my hands from falling and started responding to his dominant yet breathtaking kiss in return.

I never knew that kissing would feel this good and fascinating. Never in my life, I felt this type of feeling just for a kiss. But something tells me that this is not just a kiss but a lot more than that. It's like he is conveying everything through his kiss and i was not able to grasp it.

But the feel of his arms around me is so foreign yet it feels like I am at home. I have never seen this person but yet i feel like i know him throughout my life or even from long back.

Then suddenly I heard a voice whispering in my ear making goosebumps rise on my skin.

"I love you Athira" He whispered into my ears

I gasped listening to his words that i suddenly got up from my bed by opening my eyes and looked here and there.

For a moment I was so confused looking at my surroundings, but then I realised that it was just a dream and i was sitting in the middle of my bed, panting hard still feeling the after-effects of the dream.

God, why does this dream felt so real? It felt like I was actually kissing him and was feeling all those emotions...

It's just a dream Athira. It's just a dream. No need to panic... I repeated it to myself and continued with my daily chores.
