Ivan
"You are still a sleepy ahead as always" i said and flicked her forehead.
"Ahh... Sports isn't my thing but because Mom insisted me so i got your help or else weekend is all I do is eat, sleep, read and repeat." Sam said.
"You are different" i chuckled.
"What's different" she asked.
"Everything" I said.
We both walked upto the sports academy. I settled my things in my cabin so did she. Then, we both went next to the court stretching and warming up.
"So today let's see some good throws and defending" I said and twirled the ball in my hands.
"The one you initiated in the last match? I loved it actually" she exclaimed. She looks so cute now! She is always eager to learn something!
"Right? Now first let's practice some more moves" I said and threw the ball towards her.
"Where's Ryan by the way?" She asked.
"He went to another state for a basketball tournament" I replied.
We both practiced for few hours. After that I taught her some throws and defending techniques which she learned quick! Smart as always!
She suddenly took some basketballs and started throwing on me. I can hear her laugh which grew wide when I started running but she was so busy in laughing and teasing me that she didn't know i was standing before her now.
"You want to play huh? So bold of you!" I smirked looking her speechless face.
Next I turned her back to me and held her by her waist and grabbed her up, sticking close to my chest and I started to spin.
"No...no...no stop Ivan!" She yelled while wriggling to free from me but held her close. Soon she started laughing and giggling and I can't help but smile widely at her antics.
"Enough I will vomit if you spin me at this speed!" She yelled while giggling.
"Okay but no throwing balls on me" I said and she nodded.
I drop her to her knees. We both were exhausted due to the activities and antics we played around. We sat on a near by bench. Sweat drenching through my forehead. I ran a hand through my hair and spilled some water on above my head and ran my hand through my hair to let the water slid in my scalp making me cool as before.
"Ahh... Stop Ivan" Sam yelled as the droplets of water went on her through my act.
She handed me a towel to wipe my hair but I nodded as a no because I don't want to dry my hair as it's already hot it's better if there's some water calming my head from burning and sweating again.
But this stubborn held my hand and made me sit beside her. She herself took the towel and started drying my hair. I sat there looking at her, unable to drag my eyes away from her. The way she cared about everyone around her, the way she treat everyone is just splendid! No doubt why Gabriel is head over heels for her and so did I!
I am so affected to her!
I kept staring at her until she finished drying my hairs. She pulled away when she dried of my hair perfectly. I immediately took the towel from her and leaned closer. She backed a little as went more closer to her face. I wiped the small droplets which has been present on her face due to me. I stared into her eyes and to my surprise she looked down her gaze trying to suppress the situation.
"Done" I said and backed off. Still her gaze was at the ground. What she is thinking so deeply?
"Thanks" she said right after and I nodded in return.
"Sam"I called her grabbing her attention to me. I turned to her fully.
"How you manage to be so happy?" I asked finally.
"Happy? Mmm are you asking the secret of my life" she said while raising her one eyebrow.
"Yeah something like that" i said and she giggled next.
"Life is all about learning, enjoying and experiencing, enhancing, loving, caring, living about yourself, about others and the people around you. When you know things, you try to work accordingly and try to put things in their place, you start to know better about every minute thing and become comfortable with it. There are some sad ways that will appear in this journey of life but remember there's thousand times more joy when you go from up and downs and in this moment you will know the people who truly belong into your life, you will know your capacity. Being happy is just a moment and it's you who always decide whether you want be delighted or sad." She said while slightly smiling.
"You know, I have never seen such a peaceful and lighten girl like you. I have seen many but not ever like you do! The way you care, stand and console people around you just enhances your soul. Your too pure and divine. People like you are rarely found. I never ever got a family but seeing your family gives me no doubt that you are one of the member of your family, perfect parents, supportive siblings. My dad didn't cared about me and my brother, I cried buckets after my mother's death. You just reflect the nature of my mother, she was just like you. And when I see you I remember her."
She giggled a little after hearing me. And again she seemed so adorable!
"Appreciating enough!" She said.
"Still insufficient and unfinished!" I said.
"Being too vulnerable today, huh? What's the matter?" She asked.
"Nothing today is my mother's death anniversary and hence I can't help being more vulnerable today than ever thought I missed her every minute, second ,day"I replied.
"But as I said your behaviour and personality has a pure reflection of my mother so i just feel like sharing to you, if you mind then i don't " I added.
"Ohh.. no it's fine, you say I am all ears, say everything you feel like right now" She assured.
"Sure?" I asked.
"Hmm.. go ahead " she nodded.
I leaned closer, I raised my hand and put some strands of hair behind her ear, she got nervous by my act. Her cheeks were turned into little crimson pink.
"You are the flower which is born to bloom, shine and wave freely when a breeze passes by, unbothered to this world yet building hopes for others" I whispered.
Does I sound like a poet felled in love? Am I this poetic every time? New ability unlocked.
I backed off to see her reaction. She looked confused, surely she will be!
"Wohh,... Wait don't tell me you are the next Shakespeare here" she said sarcastically.
"Does I sound like that" I asked.
"Totally, do you write poems?" She asked me.
"Nahh, my mom used to, so I just learnt some of her poems from her diary I got after her death " I said.
"Ohh! Cause I also write poems " she said.
"You do!" I asked her and she nodded.
"I think you are my mother 's soul who just got reborn into your Sam!" I exclaimed.
"No.. what are you even saying, that's nothing like that" she said.
After few minutes of chatting with each other. I walked with her to her house.
And here I am on the conclusion reciting that I cannot hurt you ever! You are too fragile to be broken. I meant it when I said you are just like my mother! I can never ever hurt you! I shall wait here everytime you need me because I found someone true to me like my mom!
You reflect softness in every way, stillness like a tree to withstand every situation, growth like the universe. Expanding and captivating in every figure. You are someone different among the people around. Unbothered by the world. Loving, caring and genuine in every way.
Hope fate has planned you in my destiny!
