Prologue:

The sky was overcast and dark, with low-hanging, ominous clouds. Streetlights struggled to pierce the heavy rain, casting a hazy, indistinct glow. The rain falls in sheets, blurring the landscape and making visibility extremely poor.

A Solid 5'1 figure was laying on the ground; watching sky accompanying him when everyone left him alone in this world to fight his own.

The bone chilling breeze were making him calm but dizzy. He was shivering and waiting for his mother to take him along her.

Death was relief, freedom, aid from the cage-which everyone think was heaven.

He slowly closes his eyes. All ready to hug the death, feel the warmth of it.

Out of sudden the drop which were burning his uncovered, bare part of his body has stopped, he was not able to feel the droplets on his face and hands but on his toes, bridge of his feet, ankles and could hear the sound of rain too.

He slowly opens his watery eyes.

When he opened his eyes, it met with pair most beautiful hazel brown almond eyes.

Those eyes were reflecting deep sense of concern and worry for the person whom she never met. He was lost in those mesmerizing eyes.

She asked in her slow and anxious voice "Are you hurt?"

After few minutes he broke eye contact with her and sat straight on soaked grass.

"Nothing to worry about." He said while trying not to be rude. He doesn't want any one's sympathy or fake concern.

Her lips turned into 'O' shape as she nodded and sat beside him. He opens his mouth to say something but words were not coming out from his mouth. He huffed.

They both were sitting quietly. He wasn't feeling the icy breeze same as before. Perhaps, the girl beside him give the assurance and the comfort, which he was longing for decade.

Suddenly he felt that something piercing his heart when he saw cut near her lips and fingerprints on her cheeks.

His heart was aching.

She was continuously staring at a tree. When he looked carefully then he saw a bird family.

Two big bird- mother and father, were protecting small birds- their children, by using their wings as shield, from heavy rain and wind.

"You should head back." He said but wasn't sure to whom, himself or her.

"Why are you crying?" She questioned

For a moment he freezes at his place. He put hand at the corner of his eyes and felt something wet.

Then only he realized he was crying while watching the birds.

Wave of embarrassment hit his gut.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of." She paused "Feelings aren't sin, which could lead you to jail. They are normal. You know my brother too cried when I ate his chocolate though we were young back then but he cried."

He laughed "For a chocolate, really!" he Mocked.

"Ya! Some people cry for people, some for animals, some for love or some due to anger or loneliness and he cried because of anger, you are because of loneliness." She silently said without breaking her eye contact with birds.

Not even for a second, she moved her eves from those birds.

"I am not lonely." He argued, deep down in his heart he too knew what she said was truth but don't want to accept it.

Rain slowed down the family start relaxing a bit, both birds relaxed their wings and two little birds and an egg came in view. Those two children look terrified. So, both big birds hugged each child to calm them down. Out of sudden the egg start moving a little. Each and every one was looking at that egg. Waiting for a new life, a pure soul to come out and step in this world full of monsters.

And it BROKE.

The egg broke, a little bird came out of it, while other family members were chirping happily welcoming their new member into their family.

After a very long silence he asked "Why are you staring at those birds?"

She looked away from birds, directly into his eyes.

Here eyes were shining too hard just like a star in dark sky. He was lost in her shiny eyes once again.

"Because it is special." She answered

"What?" he got confused

"Because it is special." She repeated.

He shook his head "How can a bird can be special. It is just a Bird."

"No!" She raises her tone "It's not 'just' a Bird. See yourself. It is the reason of their happiness." She pointed toward the nest "No one is 'Just' here in this world. Each and every one is special. But not necessary that each and every one is special for, um, everyone."

"Whatever!" He said dryly and turned his face to other side.

She gets up from her place and sat in front of him.

"You are special too." As she said this, his eyes become soft and glossy. A crack in his heart start fixing itself.

He controlled his tears but she again said "Yes! You are. Not for everyone but for your special one." She took his hand in hers "You see, one day a special one will come into your life and then your life will become a beautiful garden where lots of flower will bloom."

"When?" He questioned "When will that special one will come?" His mind doesn't want to believe it but his heart wants to. He was tired of waiting; all he got was pain.

"Believe me, believe God. Trust the time. That person will come to you and then your life will be so beautiful, so- so beautiful. You too have to work hard to make that special one happy." She assured him

The rain had stopped, clouds were dispersed, went back to their home. The moon was shining on the top, scattering illumination all around.

That light was slowly touching their face, they both were now able to see each other's face clearly.

Her eyes were looking like star in dark sky and face was glowing like a pearl.

Moon was hanging in the sky beside her. He was comparing moon with her spotless, smooth skin.

For him she was more beautiful than moon.

The feeling inside him was very confusing.

He wasn't able to understand what was going on inside his heart. This feeling was new- very new for him.

Understanding it was hardest part. He was a 14-year-old child. Who don't even know the meaning of love, after his mother death he was left alone with his father.

But a little does he know that the special person as she said will come, was none other than her. She was the special for his life.

She gives him reason Live his life once again.

"Who hit you?" He asked.

She shuddered, wasn't expecting from him to ask this question.

"Nothing serious." She said sketchily, like she doesn't care but she does.

"Stop lying." He spoke

"I'm not and I am going." She said furiously and get up from her place.

He holds her sleeves to stop her and said with baby face "Ok, if you don't want to tell then don't tell. But stay."

She stayed but didn't utter single word after that.

"I am sorry, Star." He apologised

"I am sorry too; I shouldn't snap at you." She too apologised.

They both talk about birds, and how soaked they are because of rain. Which food they like most, which cartoon is best and so on

"I am not good at studies." She said out of sudden.

He looked at her, eagerly listening everything.

"Everyone in my is smart except me. Today I got my result and I scored very bad marks so..." She did not complete her sentence.

Her hands were shivering. She hugged her knees and put her head on it.

"It's ok!" He said softly. Wanting her to feel same comfort, warmth as he felt.

She nodded "hmm, I know. My special one will come and save me from this pain. He will protect me and I will protect him too." She was looking so cute yet determined.

He laughed and teased her "Yes! Yes!"

She narrowed her eyes and asked "What does that mean?"

The seed of love was sprouted with in them but both were unaware of it.
