A flame to light the soul anew
It was a dark, quiet night as Raj stepped out of his car, the cool breeze rustling the leaves in the trees. He was heading into the corner store to grab a beer after a long day at work. As he approached the entrance, he noticed a girl standing alone under the dim streetlight. She was strikingly beautiful, with an air of innocence about her. Their eyes met briefly before he went inside.
Raj quickly grabbed his beer and returned to his car, only to find the girl still standing there. She smiled at him, a warm, inviting smile that melted away his hesitation. He rolled down the window and offered her a lift. To his surprise and delight, she accepted.
They drove through the quiet streets of Delhi, exchanging small talk. Her name was Zara, and she had the most enchanting eyes Raj had ever seen. She told him she was from Kashmir, living alone in Delhi, with her brother serving as an army officer. There was a sense of mystery and strength about her that intrigued him.
Feeling a connection, Raj offered Zara a drink. She accepted but seemed unsure, confirming she wasn’t a regular drinker by the modest peg she poured for herself. They laughed and talked, the night growing more magical with each passing moment.
When Raj offered to drop Zara home, she agreed. They continued their conversation during the drive, sharing stories and dreams. Upon arriving at her place, she invited him in. The cozy apartment was filled with the subtle fragrance of jasmine, making the atmosphere even more enchanting.
As the night progressed, the chemistry between them grew undeniable. They found themselves drawn to each other, their laughter and conversations turning into tender moments. Raj couldn’t take his eyes off Zara, mesmerized by her beauty and grace.
Under the soft glow of the moonlight streaming through the window, they shared a passionate kiss. The night unfolded in a romantic haze, and they made love, their connection deepening with every touch. It was a night unlike any other, filled with magic and intimacy.
In the early hours of the morning, Raj reluctantly left Zara’s apartment, the memory of their night together etched in his mind.
They kept in touch for a while, but as time passed, their contact gradually faded. Despite this, the memory of that special night remained a beautiful and cherished part of Raj’s life.
Though they were no longer in touch, Raj often found himself thinking about Zara and that unforgettable night. It was a fleeting moment in time, but it left a lasting impression, a romantic memory that he would carry with him forever.
