knowledge-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+Life works in two ways: when life throws pebbles at you, either you accept it and move on, or you stand there rigid, ready to fight until the pebbles stop being thrown at you.Am I making sense here?No, not! I didn't stop there to weep or to scold myself again; I just ran away. With too many people trying to take a glance at you, shrieking, your soul can be contaminated in an instant.I took the moment to run on the road, exploring my surroundings. After almost an hour passed, when I saw the hospital where I was born, it still looked old. Older than my soul or anybody else's.My kindergarten school was not where it used to be; maybe it had been demolished. All I can see; is a new cafe furnished with antique ornaments instead of my school. Suddenly, I had a craving to tell someone everything, I saw a fountain at the centre of the pond with a marvel of craftsmanship. Its water is arched and cascaded, creating a soothing symphony of tranquil

-------------------------------------------------------Glad? Pleased?Do these words even have a place in your dictionary?I wanted to say much more than I was anticipating in front of him. Sadly, nothing came out of my mouth.I was a little afraid of him. His tall figure and aura were something else at that time.The man who stood near me exuded an air of sophistication and elegance as he strode into the room when we reached our desired destination.His tailored suit commanded attention with every step. Draped over his broad shoulders was a sleek, charcoal grey jacket, impeccably fitted to accentuate his masculine frame.Beneath the jacket, a crisp white dress shirt hugged his torso. The shirt's collar, perfectly pressed and secured with a silver tie pin, framed his chiselled jawline, adding a touch of refinement to his already distinguished presence.His pants, a matching shade of charcoal grey, hung effortlessly from his waist, tailored to perfection and embracing his legs with pr

--------------------_----------------------------------Summer has the madness and winter has been the darkness. When combined they can make your thunder or bloom a new flower. My mind was blank, emptied to a certain point.When I was walking occupied by my thoughts I heard something. Three men were following me. All of them were wearing black clothes. Even their head wasn't visible. I increased my speed to check if they were truly behind me or if it was just in my mind.And they were following me. Okay, the scenario was enough to give me a mini heart attack.What should I do now?I can't beat them in this race.So, I did what was not expected of anyone to do in this situation. I opened my mouth without making any moment, "So cowards?? How are planning to murder me? Are you going to turn that knife inside my body? Or just choke me with the help of those silver chains?" They exchanged glances and were about to launch a bomb at me when a black Range Rover came near my vision. And

So yeah… The Girl Who has always been sure nothing wrong would happen to her. She is stuck! Just stuck with a man whom she hates in a goddamn area about which she knows nothing!

I am not retired yet! “Did you listen to what I said, that you will do what I ask?” “I heard it a million times in the past ten minutes. Now, are you going to do something? Or are you just bluffing?”“Shut up, Ms. Jessica!” Before I could shoot him dead with my eyes, the lights went off. I could hear the sound of footsteps, the voice of distraction, or the words upside down. When I saw it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Of course, the light was on this time

The next day wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.My life is a mess! A total mess! I have not slept for the whole night. Dark badges are under my eyes, and my head spins in the next direction. But oh god, the only thing I could think about was this goddamn project! "what the hell is wrong with you?" great, just great. Dad was horrified to see my horrendous image."Where were you, Jessica, last night? And why are you looking like a wild cat who has not showered in a month?" "Dad, I was..." I almost said what I went through yesterday night but didn't. Because some I-have-a-male-ego asked me not to do so; otherwise, he would kick me out in the process of getting into his company."No. We don't have time for this. Just prepare; you must present at SiTech Industries in half an hour."Well, how do you know?" He rolled his eyes, "Abhimaan called, now move. I don't want you to get late." Woah! It is getting strange. Why is he so frightened about the last night's fight? Those guns,
