A person from the gathered crowd came ahead and opened the white car’s driver seat door. Anamika couldn’t miss the sight of the badly injured driver. She could see a pool of blood inside the car at the driver’s feet.

The crash resonated in the air as if it happened a million times over and over again. Anamika couldn’t believe what had just happened. Varun was equally perplexed. Anamika’s fear of being wrongly touched by him was replaced with number of bruises. Her knees hurt with the sudden impact.

Anamika kept looking out of the window. A sign board particularly caught her attention; “Speed thrills…but kills…” Her mind went blank for a long moment. She couldn’t focus on the area outside. It all felt alien. The cool air from the air conditioner choked her. She opened the window, to let some fresh air seep..

Anamika looked back in shock, when an unknown hand reached her shoulder. It certainly was Varun trying some silly tricks on her.

Anamika being a vegetarian annoyed him a bit, and asked her if she ever tasted non-veg in her life. Without waiting for her answer, he began reading the..

Anamika noticed an obvious grin on Varun’s face, which had probably read her mind. Unlike her, it was an everyday affair for him to go on dates like these. Hence made it unable for him to step into her shoes and experience the turmoil! Or experience the heart that was throbbing against her ribcage. She..

Anamika woke up perplexed! The previous night was sleepless. Full of nightmares. She shuddered on thinking of the fall off the cliff, in her car. The dense forest that haunted her dreams, was something she hated to relive! But the picture of Saurabh, was just not willing to leave her sight! It had been over..

All of her pen pal were always close to her heart. May it be the person next door, or the one sitting behind the globe. She had always wondered after having developed a close friendship with anyone, how in the first place did they come across each other?! Matching of wavelengths? Or just the paths..
