2 Love in air!

Ms. Armelle Rowan, a senior marine biology student, stayed in the university dormitory in the neighboring state. Armelle was a brilliant student, excellent in studies as well as in extracurricular activities. It didn't take much effort to make it up to her present. As a kid she loved swimming. The water gave her the strange comfort for her like a mother and protection like a father, which she yearned during those times. The water thrilled her every time like it was the first time she ever explored. The creatures under the water seemed to be never-ending when she tried to count. She wished she could befriend them. Unfortunately, the fishes seem to be threatened by her presence. Every time she moved close to take a look or to touch them with her short, stumpy, baby fingers. They dispersed like the rays dispersed when it hits the concave lens. The curiosity towards the life underwater never went extinguished in her mind.

It might be one of the reasons for her to continue her studies in marine biology, the quench her never-ending thirst towards the water especially the sea and its inhabitant.

She was hooked on the project to complete her studies and to get her graduation. It has been so long since she took a break from the exhausting work. No, it wasn't the correct phrase to use this when it concerns Armelle. She will start an argument if I describe the work as exhausting. It was such a pleasuring work in terms for her, it never made her tiresome at any cost. She preferred to stay in the dorm even on the long weekends. Nevertheless, this time she changed her mind to visit the hometown. Yes, there is some hidden moto behind her act. It was the odd semester vacation.

Her old buddies in the hometown planned to throw a party to celebrate their 5th graduation anniversary of the school. She received an invitation to attend the party with the do or die threatening. So, it was inevitable for her to attend the party. If not, she could never set her foot in her hometown. Of course, what else can they do to make her come? She was such a fish who cannot be lured with anything except two things. The first thing is the threat from her buddies and the other thing is her Zaike.

The party was organized just more than their expectation. Few of her friends took the lead to organize such an event.

Finally, the day has come. Armelle arrived in her hometown just in the morning. Krith, one of her long-time friends also arrived with her. As she was her crime partner of Armelle, attending the same studies in the same university.

Armelle and Krith arrived at the venue before the due time. There were both excited and thrilled to meet each of her old friends. Some seem to come in a twosome, few seemed to be bothersome as they were used to be. This duo entered the venue with anticipation-filled eyes, each one with its motive.

Armelle and krith entered the party hall capturing the eyes of every single man standing. Armelle, looked stunning in the maroon T-length off-shoulder gown matching her soft ivory skin with her hair open like a waterfall reached up to her haunches. Krith on the other hand looked eye warming in her sunshade front slit V-neck gown, exposing the long slender beautiful thigh. Both looked such an eye feast as they were breathtakingly gorgeous in their way. They looked like Disney princesses straight from a fairy tale.

It was the first time for Armelle to dress in such a western costume. She was such a shy sloth her cheeks were crimson red in blushing to hear the compliment for her beauty. In contrast, krith brushed off all the eagle eyes glaring at her walking straight towards the gal gang.

However, her eyes searched for one person in every nook and corner of the ballroom. But there was no trace of his presence since they entered. She longed to see him; it has been long since they met in person. Her shimmering eyes lost their glow as time passed by. Her enthusiasm began to fade but her eyes lit up not very later as they spotted a tall, handsome, young man.

The background behind that person began to blur, as the only person who came in her visibility was the hot man in a rich beige-colored blazer. His ravishing looks mesmerized much of the girls gathered there but not for Armelle. To her, he looked majestic, as like he belongs to the royals. He owned a powerful weapon that could drag her into him. She stood still on the spot, as his gaze locked her. Yes, the weapon which he owns was his set of piercing attractive eyes. Once he locked her in his gaze there is no turn back for her.

Mr. Seamer Zaike, a student in the department of health care, was in the period of a home surgeon. He never once thought he would become a doctor. But along the progress of getting into some sort of studies, he chose his career in medicine. Since he felt some weird bond between himself and his carrier. It is true that the career we chose as a kid will never come true when we grow up. Many factors influence it, some because they lose their interest in it, whereas some cannot afford to make them into their carrier. However, there are still some like me switching careers now and then.

The man whom Armelle longed to see was her Zaike. They both grew together from their childhood, but they got deeply bonded when they were in middle school. They had an interesting relationship that cannot be named. Zaike is a cool-minded guy, he is just like Rowan but stubborn unlike her. He never let anyone win in an argument but Rowan can overwhelm him. Most of their friends thought they must be in the relationship except for whom they truly know about both. They were much like a tom and jerry couple whom people often get jealous of the bond they shared.

People thought they were head over heels towards each other, as they both never failed to show PDA. It was a kind of bond they shared but it wasn't love. They would be annoyed if either of them flirts with their opposite gender.

Once they had a huge argument when Armelle caught up with Zaike for talking to one of their juniors. Armelle couldn't get over her jealousy, and they ended up talking like a stranger for more than a month. When there were about to reconcile Armelle came to know that not only she was angry and jealous but Zaike was also upset. No, more like jealous when he found his Rowan talking to one of her seniors during music class. This left Armelle in a haunted, but strangely happy, contented, and vice-versa.

Armelle used to be harsh with him when she feels jealous, she would hurt him physically causing him to scream in pain rather than use words. She always believes that physical pain will heal with time. Unbeknownst to her, Zaike will always love to be treated that way by her. It comforts him causing a weird satisfaction. Whereas, Zaike will go hibernation when he feels dejected. It was the thing that Armelle hates in him.

As the earth revolved so fast, they end up parting their ways entering into the whole new world. They were forced to split up when they entered their university in different states. Armelle moved to her neighboring state to continue her studies in marine biology whereas Zaike stayed in the same state to pursue his degree as a Physician. It was hard for them in the beginning but things changed with time. Nevertheless, they stayed in contact through calls and texts.

It has been a long time since they both meet each other in person. The most awaited moment has come, finally. They used to talk in video calls rarely. But meeting someone close to our heart in person, eye to eye was absolutely on another level. His charisma has improved a lot more. Her mouth hung open as her eyes feasted. She never expected him to become this ultra-handsome. Her heart thudded loud out of her ribs in excitement. For a short while, she went out of this world rooted to her spot. Sensing the tension in her face he walked forward.
