"I'm joking . " Ash had a wry smile on his face, catching the novel sight of usually the cold Ira with a flustered appearance .
Totally losing her cool!
She let out a sigh: "Are you really fine?" She sounded worried .
"Drop that expression . Look I am really fine, laughing . How do you get scared so easily?"
Ash's joke was harsh . The situation made Ira panic, she struck his head hard .
"Is this your attitude with an injured person?" He exclaimed .
"I am in pain all over . "
Ash cries for plea were ignored . Though he was still laughing .
"I don't find anything funny . Why are you laughing?"
With a beaming smile, Ash was on high clouds .
Reason: Red hair .
In that moment of terror, fear and pain, all he felt for her was love and longing . He wanted to hold and kiss her . He wanted her to ease his suffering and thought she would magically make all of his pain go away .
Similar feelings apparent on that night when he was with her, in the bar drinking their sorrows off .
She was a firefighter who saved his life out of her duty . Even though this was all irrational, at that moment she saved his life, he loved her . Ash could not deny his feelings anymore . With all of his heart, He had fallen in love so easily with another .
They say, in times of crisis when the feelings of risk and insecurity are heightened, the door to love is wide open . It is even easier to fall in love but such love is just a 'Mirage'
But why can't the rough patches in life prove to be fertile ground for love to blossom? Does love need a reason?
Even though it is a mirage, it is love . Can love be defined by the situation you are in?
Ash decided to find the girl .
-----
In a high-end restaurant, Ira and Viv were sitting facing each other . In candlelight, Ira's eyes sparkled . Viv was staring at the beautiful Ira who kept looking around .
"Ira, you seem anxious . Is there a problem?" Viv noticed her anxiousness .
"You are thinking about it again . Right?" He guessed it was because of Ash's accident .
"No, That's not what I am worried about . I am thinking about something else . " Still looking around .
Not digging deeper, Viv picked up his knife and fork, slicing streak in smaller sections and like a gentleman, exchanged his plate with his wife .
Ira: "Viv, why have you brought me here? This place bought many unpleasant memories to me . "
"It has good food," Viv replied with an unpredictable smile, busy cutting his streak .
"Most of my blind dates were set up here by dad . I hate this place . I have met the stupidest people here . " Noticing a questioning gaze on her, Ira looked into his eyes . She recalled Viv was one of the blind date, one of the people she called stupid .
'You are Stupid . Idiot . Dumb . ' she said to herself .
With pleading eyes, Ira inquired: "Viv was our blind date also set here . Wasn't it?"
Viv with Irony in his eyes, questioned her: "Don't you remember?"
Actually, Viv had already guessed the reason for her distress . He bought her to the restaurant deliberately, to make her recall their blind date .
