MIA

“A twin flame is your own soul , shared across what appears to be two physical beings.”

A soul which is divided between two people? Basically it means that they are two halves of the same soul. But if they are two halves of the same soul , won’t they be too similar, their interests , their goals? Maybe yes maybe not.

“A soulmate is someone with whom you have a connection of mind, heart and soul.”

Both soulmates and twin flames have a connection of souls. Can someone be your soulmate and twin fame both at the same time? Do I have even one of the two out there?

Sighing I closed the book which I was reading and kept it back.

I heard the sound of clouds rumbling , I guess I’ll have to dress up a bit warm today. I quickly dressed up not wanting to miss the bus, carrying umbrella with me just in case.

As I moved down the stairs I saw my dad and papa making breakfast , yes you heard it right , dads. They both met each other in their college. Well their parents didn’t accept them but as they say “love is love and it sees no boundaries”. I am an adopted kid but the love which I receive from them , well some things can’t be put into words I guess.

“Morning dad and papa” I wished them grinning.

“Morning hun” Dad said while papa was busy making breakfast.

“And here I present you the tastiest pancakes in the world by the best chef David jones” Papa said and kept plate filled with these yum delicacies.

“Its your first day of college have a lot of fun” dad said with a teasing look.

“By having fun he means exploring your college , joining Co – curricular clubs etc , not drinking , smoking partying” Papa said with a stern face.

“Come on David , loosen up a bit , she is 18 let her enjoy her college life” Dad whined

“ Shut up Jacob she is still my little girl what if something happens” Papa retorted back

I ignored their daily rants and rushed out of the door.

“Bye guys I will see you in the evening I am getting late.”

I was walking slowly along the lanes of French Quarter enjoying the beautiful weather , letting the cool breeze hit my face and hug me.

I live in a small beautiful house in New Orleans. New Orleans is such a pretty city. So peaceful. So beautiful. The city of artists as they say , it truly is.

I slowly walked towards the bus station enjoying the weather. I really wished for it to rain today . Its just too beautiful when it does. It’s as if the sky wrote a love letter to the earth describing the depth of it’s love and how much it yearns to be with earth. Their love makes things feel alive. Not only the flowers and the trees but it makes me feel alive

Love , well I want to fall in love. Not the next door romance , but something different something deeper. Something which has the instant sparks . Someone who is similar yet different from me. Not someone who is me but someone who makes me. Something which my parents have. One day , I will. One day…

I soon arrived at the bus station and realized that the bus was late , again. Well nothing new. Suddenly it started pouring. See my instincts are always right.

I looked around to see the usual rush.

A guy maybe in his early twenties was standing besides me with a black hoodie on. He was tall , very tall that despite me wearing heels , he was still towering over me and his eyes , well his eyes were dark but the way they were looking at me , they seemed to brighten up me.

I was too lost in those orbs to realize that he was looking into my eyes as well.

Our eye contact was broken with the sound of a horn . The bus arrived and we were on our own from there.

In no time I was at my most awaited destination “St Xavier’s” , my dream college.

I took a deep breath and moved towards the administration office to collect my schedule.

Collecting it I decided to explore around

After doing the needful I was being given a tour of the whole campus by one of the union member. But I was not able to concentrate on anything for my mind was too occupied by a certain pair of dark hooded eyes. The way those orbs were staring into mine , as if the could see right through me . Right through my soul.

“And this the library’ The union member whose name I remember as Hazel said suddenly.

“Huh” I said as I didn’t heard a single thing she said.

“I said this is the library” She repeated with a small smile

I smiled back and thanked her for the tour.

Guess its just me from here.

The library was quite large with all genres of books. Academic , Fiction , non fiction, encyclopedias etc , just how a library should be.

I smiled ear to ear when I realized that they have a whole separate section for romance genre.

I quickly pulled out a book and started reading , procrastinating my plan of exploring to tomorrow.

I was too engrossed reading when my phone began to ring , I looked around to see everybody looking at me.

“Sorry” I mumbled quickly and moved out.

“Yes papa” I picked up the call

“What time is it Mia?” I quickly checked and shit it was 6 pm , how could I be so irresponsible.

“I’ll be home quickly” I said and cut the call before listening to the other side.

“Mia listen” I looked behind me to see Hazel calling out my name.

“Hey Hazel”

“Hii , I just wanted to say that , since you were a part of union committee in your school , the administration head has told me to assign you some work. There is a guy who will be joining from tomorrow . I can’t recall his name . You’ll have to show him around the campus tomorrow . Maybe if you do it well then you can have a chance to be a part of the union committee . So come early . Bye I have to leave . see ya”.

Before I could answer , she left. Without even listening to me . I sighed sadly , and here goes my plan to explore.

As if you were really gonna explore instead of sitting in the library with your head in another romance novel. My subconscious mocked me.

I just shook my head and left for home…
