Chapter- 1

02/04/18

Hey! I'm Amaira, Today I readed a Book. It was a really interesting one! I nearly fell in love with the characters. I don't understand how the Authors manage to get such Amazing ideas and create this masterpieces

22/11/18

Today I readed another novel and the twists and turns were majestic. I loved how the author wrote the Novel using such cool words. I can't even pronounce it properly.

05/03/19

I'm writing my opinions down after a long time now. I'm finally 17 now. I got so addicted to this novels that I started imagining myself in different situations which are actually good enough to be written down into novels. Yesterday I gave it a thought and I think I should start writing aswell. This looks fun, I just hope people would support to me If I actually start publishing my works! 

Amaira Smiles heartfully caressing Her old little diary as if it was a treasure of hers. "Worth it" She says thinking how far she came once the memories flashed infront of her eyes like the bright light leading One out of the darkness. She kept her diary back in that dusty box named after her Past. Amaira gets up from the floor placing the box in its usual place as she Walks out of the storeroom locking it back. 

"I needed to refresh my mind before getting back to work on the last chapter." She says sighing, walking back towards her library She comfortably sits down Slowly opening her laptop typing down the plotting of her last chapter. Soon it was 11'oclock late at night "Fang Nv smiles before disappearing into the thin air Wishing the Un-seperatable couple a happy Life."  Says Amaira typing her words down with a face full of happiness. Once She was done She closed her laptop quickly jumping of her Chair, She screams like a little child who got their favourite Sweets. Finally She could give herself some time, Finally she could get some beauty sleep after spending hours on her Novel. Amaira walks out of Her library to take a quick refreshing shower before going to her Beauty sleep. Once she was done with her Random stuffs she quickly got into her bed comfortably tucking herself in the duvet. She was ready to close her eyes when suddenly her phone rang making her Whine in frustration but she quickly Answered the call without looking at the Caller I'd

 "hello?"  She says with annoyance written on her face 

"hello Amaira?" 

"Myra di?"  Myra Malhotra was a successful business women, Also known as the definition of confidence. Amaira's older sister. Myra wanted Amaira to join her in business because she didn't wanted her beloved sister to settle for less. She wanted Amaira to get out of her Delusions and get over her shyness. But the introvert Amaira is so passionate about her being a AUTHOR loved by many that Myra gave up on her thoughts and supported her Sister on her Work because Amaira was Like a treasure to her, She never let Anyone hurt Amaira because since they were young their parents never took a stand for them but their fame,ego and money. 

"how have you been Amaira?" 

"I've been all good Di, How are you?" Says Amaira

"Hmmm, I've been good but I really miss my sister.. oh wait Did you finish writing your novel?" 

"Yeah I just got into bed after I completed The novel!" Amaira says sighing with a smile

"Wow congratulations Amaira! Well I guess I disturbed you... Get some sleep okay? I'll call you tomorrow and yes be ready to get Calls from Anonymous companies tomorrow" Myra says chuckling making Amaira laugh.

"Yeah yeah!" 

*Alright I'll call you tomorrow morning I've some works to handle for now, goodnight."

"Goodmorning for you" Amaira says before ending the call. She keeps her phone back to where it was as She lays back on her bed Closing her eyes instantly Falling into her deep slumber. 

8:05am

It was a peacefull morning, The sunrays passed through the Open window kissing Amairas Sleeping face, The morning breeze blew the curtains away hitting her face. She slowly woke up opening her eyes blinking the last bits of Sleep away, She sits up stretching her hands before going to do her quick morning routine. Once she was done she Quickly ran into her library ready to announce about her novel. After she posted about her novel she went for shopping Carelessly because she was like a ghostwriter, no one knew Her as a Author except for her Family,. Her readers knew her As 'Author Moon'

"Ah, no The copys should be atleast 60,000 sorry"  Amaira says disconnecting the call throwing herself in her couch sighing Loudly. It's been an hour since she is Rejecting Offers from different book industries. Once again her phone rings making her scream in frustration but soon her frustration disappeared after she saw that it was actually her sister.

"Hello?" 

"How many?"

"More than thirty offers" Amaira says Chuckling tiredly making her sister laugh

"Such a famous author my little sister is" 

"Well you kn- oh I'll call you back sissy I got another call hmm?"  Amaira says Quickly accepting the other call 

"Hello?" 

"hello? Am I talking to Authormoon?

"Uh yes" 

"Hello, I'm Louis, The chief editor of Blossom books" Once The guy introduced himself Amaira's Eyes got Wider Ready to Pop out, She was suddenly so Energized As excitement filled inside her trying her best to not Sound unprofessional She Says,

"Oh, Nice to meet you Mr louis."

They continued there business talks and As expected Amaira Agrees on letting blossom books Sell her book. Once They Were done Amaira Quickly resumes are sisters call and Screams excitedly Making Myra Flinch on the sudden noise

"What is wrong with you?" 

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT?" says Amaira screaming

"no but stop screaming " Says Myra With utter shock

"Blossom books! Blossom books literally offered me for a collaboration with them"  Amaira says in a joyful tone

"seriously? Wow Amaira I'm proud of you!! You made it!" 

"Thankyou so much Di! I'm still in shock because I started Writing After being inspired by Blossom books magazines! Literally I can't explain how happy I am!" 

"Me too, But don't be too happy you know that You've a lot of works to be done after this right? You'll have to fly to another country, Sign the contracts, Work with your editor or maybe stay-" 

"That's normal di! Why are you so tensed up!"

"You know our family rules right?"

"Yes! I'll make sure to keep my distance That's what we've been doing since highschool"

Weird right? Weird how the two sisters weren't even allowed to be friends with the male because their parents were to prideful. They were insecure about the girls falling for a guy they would never Accept.

Soon Amaira Got a email by Blossom books about there adress and date and In a flash of Time The day arrived when Amaira had to fly to paris. Amaira took a seat inside the airport waiting for her flight announcement patiently reading a book. She heared some baby giggles moving her eyes towards her side just to find two Cute little Twins around 3 years old Playing with eachother, Her face formed a smile adoring the two. Few minutes later the announcement was Made as Amaira stood up eventually. 

The Flight head off and soon landed towards its destination "The city of love".

Once Amaira took her luggage she head out and looked for the person who would take her To her real destination. 

'Amira malhotra' She says reading the name written on The banner, squinting her eyes she head towards the person who was Holding it. The man looks at her and says "Author moon?" She nods and Crosses her arms together looking away "It's Amaira not Amira" She says Sarcastically, the guy looks at the banner and Scratches his neck

"oh sorry, uhm I'm Louis.. the chief editor" 

"Its okay, and nice to meet you again Mr louis " They shook each others hands.

After that They head towards the car. Soon after 10 minutes The car stopped infront of a huge building named 'Blossom books'

"Once they arrive make sure to treat the author Kindly, We can't let this good opportunity go out of our hand got it?" 

"yes Mr Smith, but That Lazy editor assigned for this work Didn't even arrive yet" 

"He will arrive in no tim-" The two people discussing inside the meeting room Were cutten off when The Rooms door swing open As Amaira and Mr Louis enters. She looks At Mr smith and The other Person And smiles, Mr smith gets up quickly to Greet her along with the Other one.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Malhotra" says Mr smith with a professional smile Wrote on his face

"you too Mr smith, and please call me Miss Amaira, Miss Malhotra is too weird" She says with a awkward laughter..

After 30 minutes 

Everyone arrived in the meeting room except for The Other main person who was assigned for this work. Mr smith who was the vice president of The industry tapped His hands making noises on the table impatiently, bothered by the Loud silence Amaira sighs and says

"When will they arrive?" 

"s-soon haha"  Says Mr louis Trying his best not to sound awkward. Just by then The Door opened in the speed of Light as a Young men stood there catching his breathe.

'woah, Tall height, Brown Silky hairs, Indie style.. Adorabl- What are you thinking about you silly girl!' Amaira thinks Unconsciously staring at him. He walked in and sat at the empty seat beside her.

"I'm sorry for being late, It's just that my alarm didn't ring"  Says the Men She was just admiring in his deep soothing voice. 

"It's okay, Don't make this mistake next time got it?" 

"Yes Mr Smith " 

"Well, This is Miss Malho- no Miss Amaira Aka Author moon" Mr Louis says As The guy she was admiring Looked at her and smiled nervously tensed by how pretty she was.. Long light brown hairs, Hazel eyes with a white smooth skin.

"He-hello, I'm Ryan kim"  He says Bowing a bit with a smile on as Amaira nods with a smile in response 

"Mr Ryan is signed to be your editor until we publish your book Miss Amaira"  Mr louis says Handing some files to Mr smith.

"It would be nice working with you Mr Ryan"  

Just like that The 3 hour long Boring meeting continues. After it was all fixed Slowly everyone headed out leaving Amaira and Ryan inside the room.

"Uhm, Miss Amaira did you book a room for yourself?" 

"uh, I forgot actually, I-"  She says looking down Embarassed by her stupidity earning a sweet chuckle by Ryan. She looks up and raises her eyebrows

"Uh sorry, Umm We can go search for a hotel for you to stay?"  Says Ryan with a gentle smile on his face making Amairas Ears all red. 

"Yes let's go I want to rest already" Amaira gets up from her seat heading out with Ryan, She quickly walked upto the counter where all the things were kept, Watching her struggle to take her bag and luggage together Ryan takes her bag and nods assuring her It's fine.

°. °. °. °. °

The two Author and Editor walked out of the 3rd hotel all sweaty already because of the hot temperature. She sighs and cups Her waist looking at him 

"Can't we just book a room? Why is it so hard to do so?" She says whining, Ryan looks at how childish she sounded with that tone hiding his smile back.

"Umm, well- I might sound like a creep but... miss Amaira If YOU want you can stay at my house, I've like two rooms empty"  He tries his best to not sound like a freak while saying this out

"Why didn't you Say it earlier! How much do you charge for a year or something?" She says excitedly thinking She could finally have a comfortable sleep with a cozy blanket wrapped around her.

"uh- I never rented any rooms so Im okay with anything"  he says smiling cutely at her. 

She looks at him making a eye contact with him as he quickly looks away

"let's go" She says taking her luggage with her without waiting for him.

Soon the two were infront of a big mansion, Amaira looked at the mansion with her Mouth hung open

"How the heck are you this rich !?" she says letting her emotions out making Ryan shocked by her sudden out burst

"Well- My family- umm.. My dad is a famous film director, Mr kim."  Ryan says walking in with her bag around his shoulder. Shocked by the name of his father Amaira Quickly walks beside him and starts bombering him with questions.

"Then why did you choose to be a editor? You could get some better work like Actor, model or something like that right? You're handsome enou-" She quickly Closes her mouth after realising that she Unconsciously praised him, To blow the awkwardness away Ryan Replies to her with a calm voice

"Because that's my passion? " 

""Uh, ....same tho My dad is one of the greatest business man around Asia but I chose to be a writer instead"  She says smiling, Ryan Unlocks the door by typing the password walking in with Amaira beside him, Her mouth was hung open by how beautiful his Mansion was, more prettier than Her once. He keeps her things aside and Jumps on a couch on his side Signing her to seat beside him.

"Miss Amaira?" 

"yea?" 

"Close your mouth A fly might enter"   He says with a Calm look Acting like Whatever he said was Actually heartwarming. She closes her mouth and looks away Embarassed.

"Stop embarassing me, I didn't sign the contract yet remember?"  She quickly looks at him smirking making him Look at her with a Whiny look

"Whaaaa, please don't take my words by heart I said it as a joke Miss Amaira" He says with a cute face but a sarcastic tone, Amaira starts laughing at his Terrible acting making him laugh aswell, He stares at her thinking how beautiful she looked while even laughing. Once Amaira notices the He was staring at her She looks at him and Raises her one Brow with a teasy look making him Look away all red.

9:55 pm

Ryan sighs and gets up from his bed to check up on Amaira, He walks Out of his room walking upto her room, He knocks on the door "Miss Amaira? Are you sleeping?"  When he was about to knock on the door again She opens the door and says "Call me Amaira Not MISS AMAIRA that's weird, and I wasn't sleeping I was just Proofreading my book" Ryan smiles at her, When he was about to leave after checking up on her she leans on the door and stops him and asks why he was here, He turns around "I was just checking up on you"  She nods and was about to close the door when her stomach growls

"I'm hungry, Do you have any kind of snacks?" 

"Uh no actually I ran out of it"

"It's alright, It's just that you White people eat your dinner at the time when we Indians have our Evening Snacks, we have our dinner at 10 pm so yeah and also! The foods you guys have are plain . Not at all tasty"  she keeps on complaining leaving Ryan with his mouth hung open at how Straightforwardly she's Saying it. 

"WE..we can order it"  Ryan quickly says it in order to stop her Nonstop blabbering , Amaira Quickly gives him a tiny nod with a tiny eye smile. He takes his phone out and asks her about her order. 

"Biryani" Amaira says As Ryan looks at her and smiles

"I like that, I ate it last month it's so tasty but spicy." 

"hell naah, It's not spicy! Lemme order it for us" 

Ryan quickly hands her his phone as she Orders Their food. Amaira Runs downstairs flopping on the couch but soon realisation hit her that IT.WAS.NOT.HER.HOME.OR.SHE.KNEW.HIM.FOR.DECADES just after the thought she quickly sits down Politely. Staring at her while walking downstairs Ryan squints his eyes By her sudden moodswings "What happen Miss Amaira? How did you exitement suddenly vanish?" Hearing him question it She nervously giggles and says "Sorry, I know I'm a bit annoying" leaving Ryan confused "Who said?" Says Ryan sitting infront of her "I-I just know it" says Amaira Smiling awkwardly tucking her hairs back. He chuckles a little and shakes his head "It's okay! We've the same personality maybe!?" Says Ryan as she looks at him and Smiles in respones. Soon the order arrives as the two seats at the dining table, Ryan opens the bucket ready to eat it when She stops him. She asks him to wait and quickly goes to bring two plates, serving the food. Ryan looks at her and says "Spoon?" She looks at him and says "We eat it with our hands, just do what I do, Believe me It tastes even more better when You mix the chicken curry and biryani with your hands." She says Recieving a Nod from him, Amaira starts instructing him how to eat with there hands as he does what she says. With his first bite, Amaira looks at him with her eyebrows raised waiting for his reaction.. once He starts chewing his closes his eyes humming in response. She smiles at his reaction and Enjoys eating her countries food. Once they were done eating Ryan Looks at her and Says "I really enjoyed It, It was spicy but in a good way" Amaira stares at him and Says while chuckling "I'll make you eat Indian food often then! I bet you'd love it" She winks after finishing her sentence living Ryan speechless. Before he could say anything she already was washing the dishes. He Widens his eyes and walks towards her Grabbing her hands "Hey I can do it myself You should go Finish your work first" She looks at him and smiles and says "It's alright! I'm done already, you keep the dishes on it's place I will head to my room, goodnight." she wipes her hands and Walks upto the stairs heading towards her room. Ryan just stares at her with his Ears burning up, He quickly grabs his ears and says "What the heck is happening to me now?"  Quickly running upto his room without keeping the dishes on it's place he walked inside his room and opens his Cupboard and Takes the Contract out staring at it, Ryan sighs and says "I've to Get her sign on the contract tomorrow." He keeps the Contract back on it's place and Layed down on his bed Staring at the ceiling. "Will dad ever love me?" Says Ryan Turning towards his right side. After a few minutes Ryan's phone rings as He picks it up and looks at the caller I'd 'Mom♡' Just after reading the name I smile formed on his lips as He quickly picks it up.

Ryan- "Hello mom?"

Ryan's mom- "How have you been Son?" 

Ryan- I'm doing good, how are you mom? How's your health?" 

Mom- "My health is steady now, Ryan... can't you come visit me? I've not seen you since Last 5 months, I'm missing you so much son." She says with a sad tone

Ryan- "Mom, I miss you too but I've got a lot of works to be done, Do you know? The book I will be editing this time is of Author moon! " 

Mom- "That's great, Don't overwork yourself alright- 'Whom are you talking to this late?' Our son 'Just cut the Call and Sleep, stop wasting your time on Worthless peoples' Uh Haha Ryan Don't mind your dad He is joking" 

Ryan- "It's okay mom... Take care of yourself and him, goodnight."

He says quickly ending the call, He felt like suffocating, It was hard to breathe for him and the reason was his own dad, Ryan wanted his dad to be proud of him but what could he do? He chose his passion over his dads choice. 

Next day, Early in the Morning

"Ugh let me sleep"  Says Amaira searching for her phone annoyed by the Loud ringtone, Placing her hand all around the bed She gives up and sits down on her back Looking for her phone.. shifting her gaze From one to another She notices that her phone was actually on the table, Whining and stumbling she Walks upto there to take her phone as she picks up the call without looking at the caller I'd AGAIN

"who?" 

"Me" 

"Me who?" 

"Ryan" 

Just by hearing his name her last bits of sleep flew away as she quickly looks at the caller I'd confused, it was unsaved.

"Ryan? I don't remember having your phone number!! Where dud you get it?" 

"Uh- " 

"DID YOU HACK MY PHONE?" 

"no what? Miss Amaira Mr Louis gave it to me... He asked me to call you so that we could discuss about the Novel"  He says laughing at her silly behaviour

"Oh.. wait but we already discussed about it what's there to discuss now?" 

"We know that you already wrote the novel but As an editor I've to edit your mistakes, grammers and to fit in the book I've to remove some parts remember?" 

"Yeah yeah I remember, where should we meet?" 

*Downstairs" 

"Downstairs?? YOU COULD HAVE WAITE- hello? Hello? Ugh!"  she Whines on frustration walking towards the bathroom stomping her feet she loudly closes the door.

Waiting for Amaira to get out of her room Ryan starts scrolling through he's phone out of boredom just to go through a huge Amount of shock and happiness 

"D-dad?The recent movie he Directed is nominated for the film fair!!" He says with Excited tone but soon a wave of Sadness Ran through his spines when He saw the date This news was Posted.... 

"5 days ago? Why didn't no one tell me?" He said in low voice, Letting the sadness go thinking it's not worth being sad over this because his dad's movie... He quickly calls his dad to congratulate him for his Victory... After a few rings Someone answers the call.

"Hello?" 

"dad.." 

"what?" 

"Congratulations for your Victory dad.. I'm very happy for you" 

"That's not your work, mind your business and stop bothering me."  before Ryan could react The call disconnected, He felt numb, He was suffocating again... He tried his best to calm himself down from breaking down Knowing Someone else was present there whom he was not familiar with. But soon The voice of his father years ago ringed in his ears.. how He's dad Was proud of him for doing good in his Exams, How he played with his dads, Doing pranks on his mother together With his dad but now.. He just Hates Ryan so much, Why? Just because he chose his passion over What his dad wanted him to be? Or is it some old grudges his dad holded against his own son.

Without his acknowledge A tear made it's way out sliding through his cheeks..

"How about my feelings dad?" He whispers resting his head on the couch letting his tears fall."Howabout me? I miss being loved by you Dad I miss you comforting me"  Ryan thinks sighing at the thought if he would ever Get his dads love back.

"Mr Ryan!? Are you okay!? Are you crying?"
