Dark

She was young and beautiful, thrilled with life, and was an amazing observer. The tear was the name given by her dear father, she loved the fact that she is different from others.

The tear was a different name and so was she in many ways. She liked Lil birdies and would think that they don't chirp when they fly but they are scared of heights and hence they scream out of fear. Her parents would really laugh out at the "chirping theory" given by her dear daughter.

As time passed, Tear grew up as a beautiful woman and she was ready to face the world. Her parents were on the other side getting old and fragile, and to this, she had another theory that "oldies are not fragile but they plan themselves to become fragile" Wow! 

She would never have sympathy for old people if they are fragile or need some sort of sympathy. But she would always have respect and would look up to people who are in their mid- 30s and beginning to climb the 40s ladder but are respecting their body and give priority to their well-being first. 

During her visit to Milan, she saw a middle-aged man with charisma fall for him. He had these beautiful eyes and a smile on which Tear really got attracted and decided to reach out to him for a coffee. 

She pulled some courage in her and decided to ask him out for a date. That was quite a dare for a person like Tear, who always was very protective of her parents. Although she managed to approach him while he was sitting having his drink all by himself. "Hi I am Tear can I borrow your cigarette as I am over with mine and you have the same brand". Jude was his name and he looked into her eyes and felt that she is not here for a cigarette but for something else. He offered her the pack and a chair. 

Now, she felt that this is going somewhere and she was excited about this little adventure in a new place altogether, where there is no one to stop or correct. The conversation started between the two and it ended at Tear's room.

Jude had this peculiar body smell that attracts a person so strongly that one cannot stop thinking about him, and you feel like meeting him again and again and again.

They both started meeting often and had almost met for 7 to 8 times mostly at Tear's apartment. 

Tear wanted to know him more and wanted a tablet close to him, on the other hand, Jude would never take her to his place, to this she was quite surprised. One day Tear decided to follow him when he was leaving her apartment and found out where he stays. 

There was a peculiar smell outside his house which she has felt before also, but she was mesmerized by this smell again. As she was curious to know more about him, she sneaks into the house and to unfolds the mystery. 

She tries to enter through the kitchen window and the smell becomes stronger and stronger. The tear was thrilled Initially and then started having this fear which she has never felt before being close to Jude. She goes inside the house and finds a room full of glass bottles, the room was smelling strong of what Jude smells like and she was picked one of the bottles to smell, and it felt like someone's calling her.

Tear follows the next room and was shocked as there were human bodies wrapped in some cloth. She wanted to stay but her voice would not come out as she was in shock. She gathered courage and goes close to one of the bodies and the smell became so strong that she couldn't breathe.......
