The next morning weather was good , sun had already crossed the mountain peaks . I received a call from an unknown number ,and it said ,
Hello,Miss
"Are you Serena Seraphina ?"
"Yes , may I know who is speaking ?"
"It is software programming department."
"Well"...
"Congratulations."
"You had applied for a software programming position at our company and you had been selected for the position."
"Thanks"
Hearing this my heart felt light,my childhood dream came into existence. I excitedly packed my stuff and left ,down the hills.
After 5 days when I opened my main picket gate .
It was dusk , I entered my place and wanted some rest but when I wanted to light up my room I found a man sitting on a wooden chair where I used to write my novel.
"Welcome home, Miss. "
I was terrified .
'Wh....Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
"Don't forget it is our home,Miss Serena."
"No it is my home "
" But what about your identity?" I asked.
"Let me introduce myself . I am Lucien."
"What "
I thought it would be my illusion. I pretended to be fainted. But for my surprise he gathered me onto his arms . Brushed his lips against my forehead and said,
"Don't worry, I will be your support."
By saying it, he put me on the bed and wrapped me in a quilt ,Switched off lights and left in quite .
I wasn't sure about his identity, i thought he was an outlaw ,I sneaked up to him .He opened door of one of my rooms ,slamed the door and he might have slept .
I couldn't sleep whole night, speculated wheather anything was wrong with me .
The dawn was peaceful and pellucid . I opened the door with reluctance but he wasn't anywhere to be seen. I thought he had already left the place. I heaved a sigh but I was jolted to see tasty _looking breakfast on my dining table.
When I peeked out of the window, i saw him watering my rose plants.
I rushed out , asked him
Stop ! Please leave my place "
He looked at me and said,
"Are you crack headed?"
" What?"
"Didn't you summon me into this world ?"
"When exactly did I?"
"Everytime you write about me ,you keep wishing Lucien were real."
"Oh ! Seems you can hear me too."
And then he seized my hand and drew me towards him .
"Are you scared ?"
"Why ...why should I?"
He teased me by saying,
"I think you can't help but fall for me ."
"Your reverie" I said .
"Then why are you getting rosy?"
"I ..um ..not "
"C _can you ....um....please let go of my hand first ?" I requested him.
He smiled and freed my hand.
And then I ran into the kitchen and drank a glass of water . After a moment I grabbed a bit of the breakfast that was already on the table, it was very tasty .
"Thanks !"
He smirked hearing this.
"Aren't you getting ready for work?"
"None of your business "
"It is my business, I am here to make you feel perfect."
It melted my heart.
He picked up the unwashed utensils and began washing them
"What are you doing?let me handle it." I commanded.
" I am taking care for you . otherwise, you 'd end up hurting yourself ." He said softly"
"I am used to it ,no need to worry for me ."
"Can you be some natural " . You always longed to be loved by a perfect man . What is your attitude now."
" If you are here for me then leave "
I can't leave now I was made for you __to protect you and to love you ."
He grabbed my hand and said ,
"Don't let me fade away "
A weird silence...for a moment.
" It's okay ,but we need to make set some terms first ."
" Sorry , but I don't really understand your confessions."
" Let's talk later i am leaving for work,bye"
