Chapter:Droplets

"Do not despise the water droplets

that you receive, soon they will

be a river."

----Bruce Mbanzabugabo.

_____________

Blue

Have you ever noticed the droplets of rain splattering the dry earth damp,imbuing it with a hope of life?

If yes,then you might have also observed how each tiny drop soaks the earth vastly,i.e.,how its wetness spreads out.Precisely like droplets did I begin to lean on and cherish Edward.In short,yes I began to love him in droplets....slowly transforming from a puddle to an endless stream of regard,passion and something beyond expression.He was an enigma cloaked in a dark,cold, black luming inferno that gradually sears one's surrounding with its claim.That's Mr.Hart for me.

Orientation Day....

The day launched with the ardent sunrays pouring in through the window to my now turned sterile room.As I woke my yawning and stretching my limbs to embrace new day, my mind rebooted and suddenly it dawned on me that today was the Empire Co. Ltd. internship orientation. Dang it.I have to participate in there even after my reluctance.Gosh...I couldn't be late.Hence I need to make quick dash to the bathroom.

Brushing aside my stubborn dark chocolate locks,I groaned once at my pity self.What an ordeal had I landed myself in.

"Why did I have to apply there to begin with?",I muttered at myself.

Aah,sure it was on impulse since it was a propititious chance.... yet still fuming over my folly,I made it out of my bed and hastily took my shower caddy and off I went out of my dorm.

Later under drizzling spray as the mist of hot water enveloped me generously, I calmed.The tension recoiled and gradually the haze of jittery lessened.I watched the rivulets of water glidding down my arms and body with such an ease .....like a river who knows its course....its destiny.I was supposed to be like that too.....somewhat in control of my life.But I wasn't so sure now.At times I felt myself plodding over the eggshells of my parent's sacrifices.

And all the while as I scrubbed myself with a purple loofah, I contemplated regarding how would I approach Ed promiscuously that is if we ever encounter each other in the orientation and that's what I was dreading the most.

Actually, yesterday I called up the Empire's HQ to turn-down their internship offer politely but they advised me to atleast attend the orientation before making the final call.Fair enough.

Hence here was I stuck in an awkward situation-me being twitchy ...simply awaiting my own doom rather than being all sanguine and charming.Castastrophe was it because my intuition screamed of an upheaval and new chapter. Therefore trying to dispel myself out of my own pity thoughts, I atlast went to grab some breakfast at our college cafeteria.

And there waving relentlessly from our back table was Jack,greeting me with a radiant smile.

" Hi,Grumpy Nerd...",Jack howled as I stuck out my tongue at him.Smiley Model Prick.

"Don't start please Jackie. I am already at an edge, regretting my own stupidity and in grave need for the HP's invisible cloak now...",I stated almost crying.Shit.

"Oopsie...",Jack said bloomingly and finally exploded laughing over my condition.

"What have I stepped into?",I lamented as Jack stroked my back gently.

"Nothing serious darling but simply magic",Jack commented.

Later that morning,right in the midst of morning rush I stood before the towering Empire HQ building.Clutching hard my purse I gulped down my anxiety and ultimately stepped in the office.And who knew that this single move would unfurl our new odyssey.

1 hour later...

The first half of the orientation just concluded and by the end of it I was all starry eyed by the brilliance of the department, its welcoming ambience,placements and above all on the objective of the company.A great artwork was it as a whole.Can't believe but I should confess that I want to join here. Jeez..."What am I plotting",I rebuked myself.

Thus requiring to clear my mind of these conflicting thoughts,I isolated myself from the rest for a breather(I wanted air so I went to hunt down a terrace),thus I darted towards the elevator.Ding.The elevator door opened.

And as I peered up to ding of the elevator, I coincidentally tripped over my pumps and collided with a solid structure. Shit...can't have a better luck,can I ?.But my horrid sheer fortune,soon again threw me off.The person with over whom I kinda crashed upon(by mistake),instead of straightening me, hurled me aside like a buzzing fly.What an oaf.

As on a voluntary reflex,I was about to rebuke the person,"What the ...",but on that very instance I caught my tongue as I watched his back....I was thrown off completely because I could recognize that one anywhere.Those strong broad ones with the stretched blazers hiding the sculpted muscles. And then unknowingly enough, my hysterical laughter bubbled out as I tried to flee out of his vicinity.Yet my hiding attempt meticulously failed because I sensed that Mr.Hart heard my fizzled giggle and who now stood motionless with bated breath....Oh Heavens,again I got played in the hands of fate.

Me and Ed again crossed paths.

Therefore as I turned to greet Mr.Hart,I met his plagued look with hints of passion and something I never thought I would encounter again....his recognition. He remembered.

Ghastly disoriented, I trudged forward and waved my hands with formal smile pasted on....I crooked a "Hi" and rambled on all nonsense. What a dolt....

To be honest I don't know how it ends for both of us but I won't ever stop living for him.And even he won't be mine,with us being far apart...I won't regret meeting him ever.The least could I hope is that somehow the echo of my happiness and love will reach him through the wind that witnessed our encounter and bless it with its glisters...I would always be grateful for his existence. Hence,I would never be afraid and lonely because I know Ed would always be lone star of my galaxy.....for in my heart he would always remain imprinted.He would thrive even without me.....
