Halim's POV

The orange colour starts spreading around the sun and the bright yellow colour fades away. But it does not happen this quick. It takes almost an hour. The sun travels around and at the respected place, it's scorching heat hits the breaking point and is overtaken by the cool breeze and the bright orange colour indicating the sunset.

Believe me, sunsets are so beautiful. They make you realise that sometimes the endings can be cool, beautiful and the ones which don't need any explanation.

There is something about the sunset which captivates my heart. Something, which I will never figure out. There's some kinda connection. But...what connection?

"Halim?" I'm taken aback as he shakes my arm and calls out my name.

"What? What happened?" I look at him quizzically.

"Lost in nature or something else?" He says.

"Deeply lost in the beauty of sunset. Look at the sun Saim. Did you notice the colour change?" I say.

"It's not just about the colour but the temperature too. If you take it symbolically then it's the example of anger. After the long and dark night, or the sorrowful phase of life you get up, full of frustration, anger and revenge and never let anyone come closer to you. Or if they do so, it's their loss. And when time passes by, the same things become meaningless to you, you learn to forgive and heal. And ultimately you become beautiful person from inside out. And this happens because you get tired of all the drama, and yearn for peace. Once you select peace for yourself, you start creating the same environment for others. And you're loved for that" He says and leaves me tongue-tied.

I look at him as he smiles the sweetest smile I have seen on anybody so far.

"You love writing don't you?" I say.

"Forget it. It was just a part of my pointless and meaningless random thoughts" He says as he chuckles.

No. He's lying. This was not a desultory thought. Because I've been through. And I know he has had those sleepless nights. Because only then can somebody relate these things to human life. And what he said was not random.

"It makes a person wise as well" He says and I look at him in state of shock.

Did he hear my inner voice?

"Addled by my thoughts?" He says.

"Completely. I want to figure that out Saim. Because we both know it was not contingent" I say.

"Sir your order.." says the waiter interrupting us.

"You'll get to know each and everything at the right time" He says and we start our so called lunch.

I want to love this boy and at the same time I want to solve the mysteries in his eyes. He knows way too much about depression.

The thing he said earlier is still stuck in my mind. I guess he has been through a lot. Maybe just like me?

Uhh. I don't know what I'm up to. It's his birthday while I'm on lunch with him. I love him while I want to know more about him. Quite confusing.

"Let's go" He says as he leaves his chair and walks towards the door. I follow him keeping my mouth shut, and trying hard not to think about the discussion we had.

"Ice cream?" I say and smile.

"Yeah sure" He says.

*Moments later*

"You love it?" He says in a questioning tone.

"Of course. Who doesn't love this?" I say looking at my choco  ice cream cup.

"My cousin didn't. And because of her we had to take vanilla flavour" He tells.

"Where is she now?" I ask.

"I don't know.." He says looking outside the window.

"But you said that she was your best friend" I say.

"She was...forget it. Wanna go shopping?" He says.

"I guess you pretty much like shopping" I say.

"This had to be your thing" He says and chuckles.

"Can we just go somewhere like" He interrupts me.

"With no people, with the clearer view of sunset and no voice" He completes my sentence.

"But...how did you know this all?" I say in confusion.

"Because it's exactly where I want to go right now. But there's a problem" He says.

"What problem?" I ask.

"It's too dark to find sunset anywhere" He says and chuckles.

Oh..OH MY! SILLY ME! I did not realise this. At all!

"Yeah. Can we go there tomorrow please?" I say.

"Of course. You know what? That place is so amazing. All you get there is peace. And you know what? There's no one to interrupt you, or your thoughts" He tells.

"It would be quite away from this city area then" I say.

"It's an hour away" He tells.

"From my home?" I ask.

"Umm..Halim...it's yeah..." He says grimacing over my question.

I feel stupid now. But that's not anything new for me.

"I know I felt dumb.." I say in guilt but not the actual guilt. Guilt built for him only. I secretly laugh in my head.

"No. It's ok" He says and turns the engine on.

"I'm way too talkative right?" I ask.

"But I love this part of you" He says and I blush. I look away.

"Blushing?" He asks. I turn my face completely to avoid eye contact. He doesn't  say a word.

"I never thought of you as a shy person. You remember our first talk?" He says.

"Yeah I do. And you were exactly the same" I say.

"But you were not. I don't know but I felt like you were angry at someone especially me. And I seriously thought that you don't like me" He tells.

"Oh my! No! It's not like that. I was just nervous" I say.

"And I'm 100% sure you were not nervous" He says.

How is he so sure about this? This guy has some secret powers.

"Umm do you believe in Secret powers?" I ask outta nowhere.

"Told you already. Why did you lie at the first place?" He asks.

"Wait what? You're connecting two different things" I say.

"And we both know it's otherwise" He says.

"Umm..Have you read phycology?" I ask.

"Your questions are my answers. Now tell me why did you hate me?" He asks.

No. This person. Oh my? He reads mind so quickly!

"To be honest, I did not hate you, I just did not want to get in any relation at the time. Just because of my father I had to attend you wholeheartedly. But then at the end when you put my date of birth as your password it melt my heart. And I got sure that you're the only one who's best for me.." I say and he pushes the brake. The car stops with a sudden jerk.

I look at him in confusion.

"Did it seriously?" He asks.

"Yes.." I say and he looks at me.

"Hmm it's just 50% true or maybe 75%" He says.

"No. I swear!" I say looking straight in his eyes.

"I like it" He says and turns his face away revving the engine.
