*He threw his phone away*

I came near to her.. Kissed her. She shied.

He came near to me.. Kissed me. I tried to resist.

The story is going to end,
I will be ashes
And you, are my last love!

"Yesterday was his story.
But Today, I gift you our tomorrow."

The Echo of Silence

Close your eyes, cover your ears
And listen;
To the tone and music.
Pinching and deafening
Slow and pure,
Powerful and addictive
Raw and strong.
Bearable! But not for long.
My friend,
Your foe.
My secret keeper,
Your worst nightmare.
Silence!

Her smile.
I can always make her laugh.

He can too.
I could always make her laugh!

She slid the chopping board aside. Turned off the stove. Sat on a chair. Blew the candles and slit her wrist instead.

Now
BTW Happy anniversary ♥.

"Well atleast tell what did I do wrong?" She asked still expecting a reason.

"Nothing! That's what you did" he spoke sniffing the first of many tears!

I opened it.
There was no code to break. No routines to follow. No tests to run. No leads to catch. All I did was cry and smiled at the photograph.

"Its a girl!", it said.
I left the barracks happy that day!

*Hospital*

"What should we name her?",asked the new mother.
"May she illuminate all the lives she touches just like she did to ours. Jyoti!"

*Newsroom*

"We need to secure her family's image and her name. What should we call her?"
"It's been 9 days and she still fights her injuries with courage and smile. She will be the role model for countless women as well as men. She's fearless. Nirbhaya!", weeped the female journalist.
