Romance down the drain

With buckets of sorrow and pain in his heart he came to a conclusion ‘I am not going to spend the whole of my life in ruins.’ It’s a long story, a story which would leave you on the tenterhooks whether you should believe it or not. A pain so gruesome that none of my friends believed it. His life came to a standstill after that event. I don’t know whether I would be able to do justice the way I will be narrating the story.

[ Chapter One]

It was a year after his wife died in an accident that Candis met Flora. The first time they met it was in a local pub. Both were seated back to back when Candis could feel that few strands of her hair were on his shoulders. A feeling of uneasiness crept inside him as he hadn’t felt woman after his wife died. He was bit down with few mugs of beer, and bent on the side and looked at her so that he could ask her to relieve of his uneasiness by pulling her hair aside. She at once looked at him sensing someone is creeping. The very look at her, reminded him of the sleepless romantic nights he had spent with Derina, his wife. He could sense that the sensation this woman was giving to him was really awesome and similar to what Derina used to give.

Little did he realize that by the time he had bent side wards, few strands of her hair was on his cheeks. He was down with beer but the smell her hair was generating gave him another jolt. It was having the same scent Derina loved. ‘What a coincidence’ he thought and was just about to ask the women what he was really intending to do that he fell on the floor with a thud. In trying to grab hold of the chair the time he fell, he accidentally pulled the woman’s hair. The woman cried in pain.

Forgetting what he was going to ask, Candis apologized to her and offered her a mug of beer. Later he explained how he fell on the floor to this woman. She just smiled the way he started narrating the story.
