Chapter 3 Aaron's P. O. V

At the age of 12 years, Thara reached puberty and became a beautiful young girl in front of me, who stands before me fresh and healthy with her big blue eyes and asks me, "Could you come daily and pick me up at school?" "I feel so bored going with my chauffeur alone." Without knowing what to say, I replied, "I'd love to do that for you, Miss Young Lady, and I don't mind what, when, or how I am needed for you; for my little love, anything that must be done forever is my honour."

She sees me and laughs at my words of response, which look crazy to her, and she shakes her head at me-God knows what-and walks past me. Thara was usually in an active mood, doing whatever she needed to do and punishing or scolding others for their wrongdoings. So, she was exactly like a mother who teaches her children the right way and frequently gets in trouble for it. She was like a precious thing that could not be found elsewhere. Since her childhood itself, she has always helped others, and it is this behaviour that has gotten her into trouble. I don't have any idea about the issues, but she will be safe when I'm with her.

At the age of 20, Asha and I entered college; she did her bachelor's in architecture and I did my master's in research and development. You all think we are twins, but how is it that I am alone doing my masters? Yes, I am good at my studies; I got double grades in my schooling. Thara is seventeen years old and in her final year of junior college. I told Asha that this Wednesday was Thara's 18th birthday, and I decided to surprise her with my proposal. She discourages me, sighing that she will reject you. Everyone believes that we twins will be great friends, but the truth is that we are great enemies.

Hiram Uncle invited my family to his princess's birthday, which is to be a surprise for her because she won't like to celebrate her every birthday, but this year is special for all of us because our beloved person is entering her teens, so we decided to surprise her and give her some good-sweet memories on her 18th birthday with many more things. The party was conducted in her seaside mansion, with natural white lilies and aquamarine flowers decorated according to her taste and dress colour.

She looked stunning at her birthday party in her lavish green and sea-blue sweetheart neckline with split on side dress-a simple dress, but the colour of the dress and her skin tone complemented her good figure perfectly. I asked her for the dance, which she accepted with a smile that could make any man fall for her. While dancing with slow moves, I held her waist gently and lifted her high in the air for a swirl. She gasped in awe, and that made us laugh out loud together.

I pulled her to the backyard garden, where the sea could be seen, and, with a chill breeze present, I told her that I wanted to ask her something personal. She said OK. I told her I wanted to be her life partner for the rest of my life and to love her more and more every day. I proposed by saying, "I LOVE YOU." She saw me eye to eye and replied, which made me love her a lot more. Thara said she too loves me a lot, more than a friend, but I couldn't see you as more than a friend in any way; if someday I feel something for you, I will tell you at that time.

So, she doesn't say she won't love me. These simple words gave me hope that one day she will feel my love for her as much as I do for her.

Similarly, we remain friends two years after my confession. Thara turned 20 years old, and one evening while driving with my love Thara, who was sitting in the passenger seat and humming a song that was playing on the radio, I abruptly stopped my car by pressing the brake, causing Thara to yell at me. "What the hell?" Why did you apply the emergency brake? At that time, some black, fog-like mist covered us from nowhere and it tried to pull Thara out of the passenger's seat.

I'm not sure where the power came from, but I drew Thara towards me fiercely, and within seconds I was out of the car, far away from the car, and the black fog was following us, so I started chanting as some mantras (spells) came out of my mouth, which I realised I didn't understand, and the black fog faded away completely in front of us. Thara looks at my face normally, as if nothing bothered her, and she asks me what has happened now with her blue eyes fixed on my eyes. I was stunned at my position, standing on a sloppy area where she was leaning on my half-front body side in such close proximity, and looking down at blue eyes that appeared calm and brave, as if nothing had happened, and waiting for the response. My insides were screaming at me to kiss her, and the urge was so strong that my body overpowered my mind and kissed her on the lips pulling towards me more closer. In such a time gap she didn't realize what had happened and her lips were too alluring and soft when I bite her lower lip a slight moan erupted from here, thank god she didn't push me😇.
