Meenakshi didn't open her eyes. She recollects her thoughts about the previous night. How blissful the night was. It rained all night, and the air did smelled of wet fulfilled earth.
In the veil of the darkness behind her eyelids, she imagines her fear - was it all a dream? were those touches she felts not long ago not for real? Were those comforting words the tricks of the winds?
Before opening her eyes, to confirm her too human curiousity, she holds her breath and feels around the bed. A warm answer of flesh on flesh answers her inquiring fingers. Only then she dared to pen her untrustful eyes.
Rahul sleeps beside her blissfully, his eyes restful and closed. Meenakshi watches him thus for unaccounted moments, trying to drink in the handsome face of youth. An unchecked smile plays on her face, telling the story of happiness, love and hopes coming alive.
Part I: The rain never came
Part II: Of squalls and thunderstorms

Hmm...I like this one. It has a very fresh sound to it. You are really good at this. The lines flow like knife moving through butter and the words give a very warm, tingly, goosebump-y feeling. Just a tiny mistake - it's "distrustful", not "untrustful"
too nice to be true
@akshay
wow,you really know how to say your thoughts, don't you? And thanks for making me feel warm and tingy too with your comments.
And about 'untrustful', it is a compound adjective. It is not a single word. But yes, at this instance, distrustful would be a more prudent word.
@phoenix
I know it is too good to be true. Just wait for the next part. I have it all planned. Next would be from Rahul's POV. And there is Cloud. hehe.
still continuing with the story.
good. carry on. when will you end it.
@nitwit
I will write Rahul's POV. Then I will end this long winded story. It was suppose to be a vignette, but Meenakshi seems to be re-occuring to me often
I see that I never wrote Rahul's POV.
Well, it ended nicely anyway.
