New life [2]

---creeak!!!!

With a sound,

Brown coloured door of the room spread out revealing a young boy standing opposite of it.

The boy's age also appeared to be as the girl's.

Striking dark blue hair ,pale white skin which was smoother than many girls

and his grey hazel eyes that were complimenting his hair giving it a strange allure.

His face was flawless without any scars containing a bang that was covering his left eye.

His height was average for boys his age but there was a different kind of aura he was emitting that seperated him from others.

The little girl stared at his eyes and again she lost herself in those deep hazel grey eyes.

She gazed ...and gazed...

"..."

' What is wrong with this girl ?!!

She always do this whenever she meet me.'

Louis confused by her reaction, waved his hand in front trying to catch her attention but she ignored his attempts and just stared at him.

"...."

'Nothing happened! ,then'

"Flora!! Hey !! "

Snapping her out of that state was his pretty voice that was melodious as always.

"Huh!!...y..yeah , did you say something?"

She asked while trying to hide her embarrassment for staring at him so hard.

' I don't think , I should say that 'you were just now staring at my face very intently' that would embarass her more than she is.

"No , I didn't say anything.

I just called you when you were lost in your thoughts"

So he replied with a smile .

Trying to change the topic , Louis side stepped and gestured his hand sideways inviting her in and asked:

"Should we talk inside?"

Flora's cheek that were red like tomato returned to normal but there was still some redness.

It looked like it will take her few days to forget this embarrassment.

But she nodded weakly and stepped inside his room .

Louis took two chairs and placed them in the middle of room .

Then he waved his hand towards flora who was just looking at him with a smile.

She understood his actions and sat on the chair while maintaining the same smile.

Both sat at front of each other but a weird silence formed between them.

Her and his both of them had their room's next to each other but they wouldn't even visit until _

They have any special reason.

That's why she isn't that much comfortable to his room despite being friends for years.

And the last time she visited his room was approximately 6 months ago .

She observed the room and found that it hasn't changed , it is just as before....

...i.e...

Same plain single bed placed at one of the corners of room.

A study table beside the bed where many books of different topics were positioned in order ,some clothes were arranged on a drawer situated opposite of the bed and a small bathroom at end of the room.

It looked like any normal room but _

The light ,it's intensity was much less than any room of this orphanage.

There was strange darkness in this room , creating a strange atmosphere.

One would think that it is just effect of the broken or cheap light.

But it was different from that.

And Flora could also sense it .

She had sensed it few time before as well but then nothing happened so she ignored it.

Her eyes darted towards a mysterious painting on the wall.

"Wow! What a painting .

Louis , are you the one who painted it?!"

Her attention changed to the painting and she asked about it in slight excitement but there was something hidden behind it.

In the painting, there was dark black clouds expanding it's range and creating darkness all around there .

In the center of it a person was on his knees , his one hand chopped off and other one covering his eyes and to make it even more worse a blade was pierced on his chest that went upto his back.His body's state looked miserable.

The amazing thing about the painting was that art seemed too realistic, the dark emotions it was conveying through the clouds, the hopelessness of the young man which couldn't be described , he appeared to be have lost everything and just wants to die but the darkness in that painting wouldn't even let him die.

It was like consuming him.

Making him suffer more.

'This is too real to be a painting .

How anyone can make a painting this much realistic.'

She thought while gazing at the painting.Although she was only nine year old but her brain could keep up with any teenager.

It was the first time she had seen this type of artwork so she was slightly excited but also scared from inside due to the content of the painting.

But thinking that Louis could be the one to create it , she decided to hid it behind her smile.

Only by looking at the painting her back of the neck shivered.

Excitement and fear both were the emotions she was feeling simultaneously.

And she also didn't know why?!

So she kept it to herself and asked that questions.

Louis hearing her question took a glance at the painting and returned his gaze toward her before answering.

"That painting, umm...I think , I made it on whim last week and forgot about it."

He answered with confusion on his face.

He seriously didn't know when he made it.

He started pondering about it.

And it clicked him.

'ah! I think I made after having a bad nightmare. But she don't have to know that.'

Flora's eyebrows twitched at him.

Because she could tell that it was a lie.

He wouldn't do a single thing without any reason.

And for some reason she felt a little anger boiling inside her .

"Hmph!!! I was lying this painting is not good ."

She said while pouting.

'This girl'

Louis understood her reaction.

Suddenly he extended his right hand and grabbed the palm of flora's left hand .

Flora blushed at his sudden action.

Her face again becoming red.

Louis opened her palm and placed a bar chocolate in it.

Seeing this Flora's eyes sparkled and instantly a smile bloomed on her face .

Realising her reaction she immediately turned side ways while taking the chocolate bar in her hand .

" Thank you!!!but don't think that I would say your painting is good after this."

She said in a somewhat cute tone.

Which made his lips curled up a little before parting.

"Okay let's stop about that, Now tell me why are here? Is there any problem you are suffering with?

Then tell me I would surely help ."

Flora turned again and raised her head .

She could see his innocent smile which was as pure as always.

"No , I don't have any problem ."

"Ummm, then what?"

Louis asked .

And just after his response,

A proud smile bloomed on Flora's face then she moved her lips.

" I have a solution for you."
