16. “Fire”

16. “Fire”

(…To be continued…)

In Niki’s mind
a quiet fire of vengeance burned,
So she gathered her friends…
a little storm of whispers returned.

Softly, secretly,
Nil sent her an SMS:

” Forgive me now
else
I will be in seclusion
or
Forget everything
here I am disappearing..”

Reading message,
Her friends giggled low
& Niki too hid a smile’s glow,

While far away…
Nil was silent & alone
his heart speaking in a trembling tone:

If you don’t desire me,
Then why do I matter, can’t you see?
