When Blaze saw August’s expression getting sour at his words, he suddenly backed off and closed his mouth,

August breathed out and closed the door behind him, and drove off. When Blaze saw the car drift farther and farther away from him, his lips formed back into a shameless smile and he muttered,

……………………………………………………….

“You should have just said that you wanted to meet Miss Aurora? What’s with the sour face?” Blaze was the kind of person who liked to take risks, and for some reason, he had stayed longer with August than any other secretary.“Let's break the engagement."

“I can’t marry you,”

Under the moonlight beside the huge palm tree, two figures stood, a guy who had just uttered those heartless words,and a girl. One could not see her face because she stood under the tree's shadow that had blurred out her face but her body language gave it all, she was standing petrified, not a muscle of her body moved and it seemed as if she had stopped breathing.

Her fingers penetrated the silvery net of the white gown. Her grip on the dress tightened when she heard the words, her legs lost the strength to stand and she fell on the grassy ground in despair. At that moment her world collapsed in just a wave.

With a wavering heart and a fainting breath she mustered up the courage to speak in front of August, it might have been the first time she had spoken to him openly.

“Why?” The words came out with an effort, her courage broke so she paused before continuing again, trying hard not to shed a single tear. “Did I do something wrong? Why are you doing this?”

Her palm started hurting as she felt her nails stab through her dress, she waited for him to speak again and he did speak, causing her to lose control over her tears.

“I don’t think you are the one for me.”

August’s face was serious, it didn’t change even for a second, not at the sight of her misery nor her pitiful fallen image.

“How? How can you be so cruel!? How can you decide on it on your own? Did you ever ask me how I felt about the breakup?”

“I love someone else, I hope you understand.” His words with no emotion nor sorry.

“No!! I don’t understand! I don’t want to understand! (Breath). I will never forgive you for this!”

The grieving voice rang like a warning bell, the cry was heard far and wide but most importantly it struck August deep in his heart, he saw her shed a tear as sparkling as a pearl, As it soaked into the soil a pain arose in August’s heart. He felt his heartbeat fasten and his breath slowly fading away. It was getting hard for him to breathe and suddenly his eyes opened.

It was just a dream, a very realistic one.

August’s gaze was pinned to the off-white ceiling above as he opened his eyes,hs hands were clenhing onto the blanket and his teeth were locked togather, he could still feel mild pain in his heart and his breath was unstable.

“Why did I dream of it again?”

His head had started acting oddly for a while now, he kept on seeing hallucinations, and sometimes hyper-realistic dreams, that caused him serious unrest, and today’s dream was one of them.

He got up and poured himself a glass of water and pondered over the dream he just had.

———————————————————————————————-

“December!! Get up!”

Nala snatched the blanket from over December who had been sleeping like a log.

“Hmm? Why?” December opened her eyes as little as possible and it seemed as if she was trying to preserve the sleep in them, her voice had very little volume to it but still, Nala understood it somehow.

“You are late for your class! Didn’t you say you had to reach there before 10?”

“Yes, I said that,” still in her sleep.

“So, it’s 9:45, what do you have to say about that!” Nata nagged at her.

“9 what!!!”

December jumped out of the bed and grabbed onto Nala’s shoulder, trying to confirm her saying.

“Look at the clock!”

“You are right!! I am gonna be late for the seminar,” December hopped around the room and picked up some clothes and went to change, and within 5 minutes she came storming out of the washroom, with a shoe in her hand and the other part in her foot.

“Don’t Wait for me, I will be late.”

December gave her a flying kiss and ran out,

There was a seminar she wanted to attend. A very renowned artist was coming, although she was from the same college, many didn’t know her by face as she didn’t like to give out her identity, but today she was going to appear before a few selected students and give them a lecture. December turned out to be one of them; she had a very long connection with this artist, it could also be said that she had known her from her previous life.

“Make way, make way, coming through,”

December ran around the architecture block and was just a few yards away from the hall, and the only problem was that she has to walk across the road that had parted the two departments, she stood on the pavement waiting for the luxurious cars to pass by so she could cross the road, and it was just then that a bunch of football players passed and bumped into December, which caused her to fall over the road.

Although there was not much traffic right now a car was headed straight towards her. A sudden flash of memory stormed through December’s eyes that caused her muscles to stiffen. Sharp pain in her head made the sounds of the past ring in her ears.

‘I am not a monster! I am not a monster, leave me alone. (Honk, honk, honk)’\~\~

“Get away from the road!!”

Everything slowed down for December, she couldn’t hear the words of the people on the pavement and she felt like her sense had been numbed making everything suffocating.
