I was just eight when I learned drawing could be dangerous.

 I had drawn two woman totally twisted into each others arms ,looking at each other with soft glances and resting head on one of the woman shoulder....totally harmless just soft.

My mother did. Her voice hardened. Snatched the paper away felt like a part of me just got snatched away,

She said "This is wrong!" as if it is a sin to draw two woman together..as if she was stating a fact.

After the moment felt like the room changed its emotion, I only remember my precious drawing being torn in pieces, how quickly the love ,even on paper ,got forbidden...

after that I never drew...

I never drew them after that day but one day I found myself in that drawing when I saw the other woman in someone else eyes...

"Omg ! I'm so sorry" as she crouched to pick the shattered books and notes I had in my hand, I could see her hand kinda trembling as if those hands were nervous.

She was younger than me. Probably a junior?... her long silky black shiny hair tie sat slightly crooked. She looked at me ,gave me my notes and books our hands brushed .... literally nothing dramatic ,nothing chaotic but

SOMETHING CHANGED

SOMETHING SHIFTED

She looked at me ,our eyes locked for half a second ....heart raced ,It started dancing  loosing its rhythm

"It is okay" I say as I keep looking at her

she smiles : gently ,softly and walks away

I found myself staring at her turning my back just to see her back

"oh no is it what I'm thinking ? what I was afraid would happen?"

"We should go and grab something from the college canteen" I nodded my head. Kala and I head to canteen.

Every voice that passes through my ear I look up and hopelessly settle down my head.

"who is she?" my friend question me with a slight smirk

"NO ! no one" I say with a small laugh ,brushing off the topic

Sat there more than 20 minutes just stirring the tea cup .. just then when I was bout to leave the table ,Kala grabbing her stuff, a soft laugh ,a sweet aroma passes by me I saw the yesterday junior! she was laughing with her friends she was passing by the table I was on , she looked at me, felt like a cupid just threw its arrow at me

she looked at me and smiled at me with her lovely almond shaped eyes , my heart once again left its place it literally left its place....

"oh no I saw her today too, she saw me she smiled at me! she remembered me, goshhh she noticed"

I hear "Grace" from a distance it was my fried calling me...

I walk up to her,

after so many years I found myself dancing with someone else heart... her hands  that brushed with mine, only thing I was thinking was only her

Another day passed by just like that.
