What are you doing? Get back home if you wish to sleep," Miranda heard a long lost hoarse voice from her side. She smiled and opened her eyes.

"Tristen," she took a deep breath. "So long, my first love," they both laughed. Wearing a tank top and ripped jean Tristen kept the ax down and walked towards her. They hadn't seen each other for years now except in photos. Miranda and Tristen spend their childhood together but ended everything once Miranda joined college because of a funny thing that happened between them.

"Tristen, hey," she called him. "well," she hesitated. Miranda wanted to ask Tristen out for her senior prom.

"Ah about that, I have already asked Naomi out for prom I totally forgot to tell you," he said.

"What? Naomi? That girl? For prom? With you? Really?" Miranda was shocked shooting him with questions.

"Yeah, why?"

"I wanted to ask you put for prom?" she said angrily.

"I know but we always spend time together besides Naomi is so great, I want to know more about her,"

"She is great, huh,"

"What?"

"Dude I came to say I like you, and you asked that cow girl out on a date, wow,"

"I know but you are leaving to the city any day after graduation for college, so why should we date, besides Naomi understands lands and cows better, you hate that,"

"Lands and cows? Really? But we decided to go together," she shouted at him.

"But I have zero interest going to college, so stop it,"

"Are you rejecting me?"

"Yes," he said straight.

"Well, goodbye Tristen I hope you and that cowgirl live a long happy life with calves and," she paused searching for words, "pigs, and all the animals."

That's how it ended between Miranda and Tristen.

"You look great," Tristen complimented her.

"Thank you," she thanked him. "How is everyone? Mom, dad, Naomi?"

"All good but I don't know about how Naomi is doing,"

"I thought you guys were together,"

"Yeah like for few months then we broke up and she with her siblings moved to the city,"

"Oh my god," she was surprised.

"Did you never talk to me because of that girl?" he asked her his doubt finally.

"Of course yes. It was so embarrassing to look at your face,"

"Seriously?" he asked her and she nodded laughing aloud. "Seriously" you took all my words to your heart? Did you think I wanted a girl who understand cows or who understands me? "

"Cows!" she mocked him laughing along with him. She realized she was laughing this hard after months. She liked it.

Miranda and Tristen spend the whole evening together, and her parents asked him to stay for dinner and invite his family for dinner the next day.

"Thank you for staying," she said. She was feeling relaxed after a long time. Not anxious about the next day, not anxious about how she looks, not anxious about how people are gonna judge her, and importantly, not anxious anymore about having to keep secrets. She was at ease that she never realized she could.

"Am glad," he said and hugged her. "So long partner,"

"So long Tris," he always hated being called that and she teased him after years. He laughed aloud.

"I know you would never forget to call me that," he slowly walked out the door and left. He lived in the corner of the road. Miranda watched him leave and walked back into her house, smiling. She felt happy all of a sudden.

    Miranda took a dozen grilled sausages, sauces and walked over to the hall. Home theatre. She realized. "Ah yes the first part, an interesting one, settle down, you will love it," "You love these genre of movies?" "Of course yes, you should know that I am very different from Clara," Miranda reminded him. "I know Clara never had a thing for movies, I forcefully made her watch movies a lot to spend time together," "Were you that crazy about her?" "I was but I," he stopped. "I don't know I always respected her and liked her, I liked being with her too but there was always a missing spark, maybe because of the lack of freedom. I had so much of restrictions when I was with her," "If you felt fine, you shouldn't have kissed me back, I remember well you did, and I remember I heard that was your first-ever serious fight, why did you do that?" and he had no answer for that. "Maybe you should have broken up with her then, it did reveal that you had already lost the spark," "I couldn't do anyth

    Daniel parked the car couple of meters away from the entrance of Miranda's apartment. "There she is," Niall showed Daniel as Miranda in her pink laced dress with her silver sneakers, and faded blue denim over her shoulders waited for Niall to pick her up. "So this is the person you left your previous goddess Clara for?" "Can you not mention her like that, that so-called goddess almost drank my blood," "Because you made her to," "I did not, hey, see it's fated. The two-three coincidences made Clara super angry. First, her fault kissed me," he said pointing towards Miranda, "the second mine partly, and third god knows why," "Are you sure about it?" "Yes I am, I don't know why, but I realized it," "Really? Look who is talking about fate," Daniel mocked his little brother. "Remember, mom and dad are expecting you to move back into our home soon, don't disappoint them again," "You do know my ideas for the school," "Then tell father about it, give him the proposal, see he will be glad abo

    A month passed by, the classes were satisfactory, and Miranda was able to catch up with lessons easily. "Looks like I haven't lost the touch after all," she said to herself completing her essays. She submitted them and walked out of the class. Her classmates were all fun types and she felt glad. Her roomies were from her class, Renee and Shia, one older and one younger than her. They became friends instantly often hanging out at Miranda's old hideout places she showed them. Renee had the best hair according to Shia they both have ever seen. Long caramel brown silky thick hair, layered. But Renee never gives a damn about it. While Shia, the tomboy in the hostel walks around carefree and happy like a rabbit hopping around with her two new friends and her high school sweetheart. Miranda walked towards the cafeteria for grabbing a cup of coffee after the class, she was excited about going back to her studio. Tristen had made a promise to pick her up every weekend he comes to the city. S

    "You people should visit the city often, I mean I have a studio there, I have a year more for the lease left to expire. But I am moving to the college hostel, it's tiring to travel every day, so am planning to stay in the studio only during the weekends. So you people can come visit me and use it." Miranda told her mother and Tristen's mother while she packed her bag, she only had a couple more days for the semester to begin. "That would be great for us to visit then sometimes, we need not worry returning early," Tristen's mother said. "Yes yes of course," her mother opinioned. She was handing out some homemade snack and pickle jars Miranda used to love. Miranda didn't deny them, she packed it along with few books. Tristen had promised to drop her back at her studio directly while going to pick up some tools for his farm in the city. Tristen brought his car and took Miranda's luggage. She came with one bag and going with three all packed by her mother and Tristen's. She hugged her p

    The beautiful clear sky days continued as her work began to get better. She had no track of time how the days run, once she gets into the office. By the time she finds free time, it would be past 6 in the evening."Get in," Darren said, asking her to get in the car."It is fine Darren I will take the bus,""You worked extra time today and it's pretty late, I will drop you off," he suggested again. It has been more than a month, and Darren and Miranda were on a good note than the other employees at work. He asked her to address him calling his name while he was strict about following the hierarchy inside the office. "Treat me as your friend, not the boss," he said."Wow, what a line? Is this how you get the girls?" she asked him."What?""Don't even think of flirting with me Darren,""Is this what you call flirting?" he asked her in surprise. She wished she didn't tell him that.
