Ice Breaker or a Relationship Breaker?



That coffee shop always felt magical to her. It was full of positivity and sunshine. And why wouldn’t it be? One whole side was of transparent glass with few bright abstracts painted on it. The other walls were hot pink and purple.

That day all of them sat there as always on the black couch with deep purple and hot pink cushions. She was a little distracted. Her eyes and mind kept wandering straight out of those glass walls.

He was walking towards that coffee place. Yes a little nervous he was… the good nervous. He had ventured out after grueling months of engineering studies. He traversed the glass wall to reach the door.
She was absent mindedly looking at him walk to the door with head bowed down a little, he pushed that door with his right hand and she couldn’t help but notice that he was quite well built. Her absent mindedness was so silly that she hadn’t realized that he was walking towards their table till her friend got up and hugged him. She was back to her senses and lost her senses at the same time!
He pulled a chair and was seated diagonally opposite to her. Her friend introduced him to everyone and now it was her turn. He said,” Ruzha, this is Ray, Ray… Ruzha” And it seemed funny why did she just giggle in her mind. Why had her girly instincts taken over her sane mind?
He sipped onto honey golden colored Irish coffee surprisingly after cooling it completely.
He had felt it too; yes felt something hit him hard. Well none of them had realized then that cupid was at work.

Ray a shy kinda guy sat there sipping on his hot turned cold Irish coffee and listening intently to the friendly silly conversations that went on.
She couldn’t resist his silence. She had to make him talk! She teased him, she joked with him, and she even sided with him at times. It was his turn to break the ice.
The intention was right, the move was right or wrong could never be judged. He saw a book in her hand. He felt the need to speak... to seek!
Said he,” I too read this author. And have read quite a few of his works?”
Excited Ruzha asked, “How do you find this book of his?” Not every one of Ruzha’s friends was such crazy readers and he saying these words was like poetry to her ears.
Ice was broken; the conversation went from that coffee table to online chats, from texts to phone conversations. Ice breaker as it was could have turned into a relationship breaker as the chain of his reading escapades continued. Ruzha kept on getting impressed and Ray loved the way he felt.....

But what happens when Ruzha finds out about the lies after 6 months into the relationship?
