Chapter 1 - A Laughing Man
They say to know Love you must fall in Love, but seems that's not what exactly my fortune hold for me.
As a kid, I always admired Love Story through all the fairy tales. And somewhere down the line that felt real and I was living in a dream. I always felt there will be a prince charming coming on white horse rescue me and always love me and have a happy ending.
But wait ... to Rescue me I wasn't a damsel girl! I had a pretty good life except some here and there. Which I am sure every one of us has.
Anyway back to my not so fairy tale.
It turns out life wanted me to have a love story bit unusual and not a typical fairy tale.
You would be wondering who am I?
My name is Ella and I am an aspiring designer. you will know more about me as we go further.
April 3rd 2013
It was my friends birthday and I was excited! not because it was a friends birthday but as for the first time I was allowed to attend a late-night bonfire party. but like any Indian family, I had to agree on a few things including my deadline before I had few errands to run. which took me to my First cousin's place who stayed around 30 mins away from my place. She was happily married with two kids which were almost my age now. And I liked hanging out with my nieces.
Later that day by the time I finished my errands it was quite late and then helplessly I had to cancel my party plans. I was so distressed, it was the first time I ever had got a chance to be out late with my friends but it just had to be ruined. As if the universe didn't want me to Enjoy just once. All the possible way I suggested to leave was denied by a big "NO". As silly and hopeless it sounds I was feeling the same or maybe more worst. In the end, I had to give up and stay back for the night.
I finally called my friend and said sorry for not turning up. Frustrated I turned to desktop and started to surf some internet. it had been a while since I last checked my f*******: back then ( i was not so big fan of it nor I am even now tho..) After sometime later I was a bit in a good mood and started enjoying some good Bruno mars songs ( he is one of favourite even today). Just like I was in my dreamland there was a sound of doorbell which got me out of my daydreaming. I went to receive the guest at the door.
And I guess that was the moment my world was going to turn upside down.
As I opened the door there was my niece at the door with a boy leaning at the door frame, fair with greenish-blue eyes just like a deep-sea filled with many emotions. and with the calmness before the storm.
(maybe a storm that's going to enter my life soon enough.)
