The Heart Of Frigid Winter

Subathra

In the heart of frigid winter , Becca Richardson could be certain of few things. She was certain for her need of a shelter down the mountain , certain for a meet up with a man who stole her heart in a single meet previous year.

Beyond the worry for her survival , she is been tempted to meet him again , when he arrives to their village to enjoy the white snow with few of his friends.

She was born and brought here in the same village of England yet had no clue about him being the one who literally belongs to this place. With everyone scattering around to lead up their studies , career and life , she was least interested in leaving the place of her birth after the demise of her parents 15 years ago. She felt their presence in their home situated at the slope of mountain. If she ever leave the place of her parent's then it’s just during the winter . The winter made him come across her , she still has the capture of his captivating orbs that she drowned into when he saved from falling in a pit of snow, without another glance he left the place letting her pulled by his charm.

A year passed in a blink of her eye with her dreaming about him, there is no single day that passed without her waiting for him. Damn , she found him now . He doesn't belong to their village but the near by small town . Living in hills she never had a reason to travel out of the village, she rarely comes down to village to buy things , may be that's the reason she found about him after one long year.

There he comes with his bunch of friends in black blazers complementing his milky white coloured skin. She have no guts to come face to face so decided to immerse herself in the lake side enjoying the serene view of the place.

Dusk seems rapidly growing emphasizing the winter days . I stood up to walk home just to save myself from freezing here . I feel home here near the river after my Real home. My parents gets me here often during winter , the time stay down the hills in village. I never wished to go out of village boundary as I lost my parents when they left village to attend some function. I was under guidance of my nana after my parents demise sooner or later she followed them leaving me alone but I'm used to it , my life revolves around the village and hills but now I find him as mine. Will it be a dream comes true ? Lost in her thought she failed to notice a rock in the path way.

Gosh ! Here she lost balance and landed on snow covered ground.

There you go , do you even know to walk Becca ? A manly voice triggered her anger but a single glance onthe source melted her , there he stands, the same man who stole her heart .

Here give your hand he extended his to help her , without a moment of wasting she happily gave hers letting him pick her from the snow .

Finding hard to balance their weight together, he fell back with her above him . The moment of body contact sends chill down their spines and gave warmth. The eye lock of few second was broken by her scream. ouch it hurts she screamed holding her ankle that got twisted.

Let me see he tried to hold her legs but she pulled it back in shyness. ok come he respected her thought and helped her to reach the rock near the for settling down , the only place free from snow.

Let it free for a moment , snow will treat it She nodded as a response and he sat beside her waiting for her to be alright.

you don't have to do it Becca voiced not wanting to bother him. I want to , By the way it's Zig here he covered her with her blazers introducing himself

No please , I'm fine she is not going to accept it obviously but happy to know his name.

Ok then literally he gave up so soon, but his next act stunned her .He Pulled her into his embrace. Her struggle to come out of it went in vein. Stay still , its freezing out here. I don't want either of us to die The statement seems legit thus Becca gave up .

The evening was unusually cold . If zig weren't so close, Becca was sure she would freeze .

The man's presence by her side was calming . She convinced herself to halt the growing feeling inside her . Having him close to jittered her. An hour passed on the bank of frozen river and Zig had done nothing but stay by her side . After a long silence she cleared her throat . Where are your friends ? .

Do men in your village leave a lady alone in cold ? he asked smiling in the most infuriating way.

we ladies are not so helpless that we need a man to watch over us Becca retorted earning his grin as response. Well , you see I can't leave a beautiful girl alone so stayed here watching you lost in your thoughts . Zig hesitated , his smile faltering for a moment . However , if the feeling is not mutual , I'll humbly leave you alone .

Becca felt a blush creep up her cheeks. She turned her face away from zig. Why did he have to say exactly what he meant ? Why do Becca never seemed to say what she meant ?

At length, she shrugged I suppose I'd rather have your company than that of wild animal . You , at least , are not likely to eat me Becca said hiding her smile , pressing her twisted ankle. Zig’s grin widened .

Are you sure about that?? . With a blush filled cheeks Becca nodded in acceptance , this made zig's lips curl into a smile. They sat there in each other’s embrace letting the world invisible in the darkness of night curious about what future has stored them.

The night faded with them awaiting for a happy future together .
