Raining Love for Her by Kalai Selvi Arivalagan (digital e reader .TXT) 📕

is getting late to the office, she lethargically woke up from the bed. Another fifteen minutes in the cold shower did not help her much. With the same wave length of thoughts she started to the office without knowing that something waited for her in the office with a surprise.

When Reema reached office early on that day, only a few people were there. The entire space looked empty and she could see her colleagues scattered here and there. Even the central air-conditioner was not switched on as it was too early. Reema could feel the air to be stuffy and smelt of the floor cleaner that the house keeping maids used to mop the floor.

As usual she entered the rest room and started to comb her hair and make it look tidy. She washed her face with a face wash and applied light make-up to brighten up her face. Normally, she never liked to do so. But after seeing most of her female colleagues spending at least ten minutes to brighten up so that the day will start good, Reema also started to do that.
The sun rays always left the face dark and sun tanned. Washing the face fresh with cold water always helped to save the face from darkening and it also helped to avoid dark spots on the face.

After getting herself look presentable, Reema went to her place. She was quite surprised to see
a box of chocolates along with a red rose on her computer table. At the first guess, she thought it must be only none other than Vel. She could not think of any other one than him.

‘Hi, Reema, what is this”? Caroline screamed at Reema with a surprise.

“What a nice gift in the morning? Look, they are your favorites.” Reema smiled back at Caroline.

With a grinning smile, she started to distribute the box of chocolates among her colleagues, which definitely made feel upset and unhappy.

Vel looked outwardly cool but he could not share the love pressure that built up daily at heart with anyone. Every time he met Reema she teasingly shifted his love pressure to the highest point. When he was on the verge of going high up in the air, Reema pricked and burst the love balloon that drifted across the valves of his love heart.

With a pricking pain the love balloon burst and it always failed to carry along the love oxygen through the blood vessels to all the parts of his body. The air sacs in his lungs turned romantically into love sacs and yearned for every drop of blood to be richly oxygenated with love. Vel rarely smoked and he did not have the habit of taking heavy drinks. Sometimes to give company to his friends or colleagues, he restricted himself to a glass of chilled beer.
Vel felt delicate to discuss these issues with his friends for they may tease him and make fun of him. He finally thought a way to unfold her heart smoothly and know what has been happening in her heart and also if there is any place for him in her heart. As it happens in fairy tales, like the magic potion that the witches prepare, some time in future, medical research must find out a love potion to win the heart of the beloved.

Chocolates can help to induce love feelings, but it takes a long time to find out the way through. Yet, chocolates looked as the best option at that time. Along with a box of dark chocolates, Vel bought a love bouquet and left them at the desk of Reema before any one arrived in the office. Expecting something to happen, he went to his place and continued with his official work.

The cold dark nights of November stretched his dreams further. Vel did not get a response from Reema. Reema immediately guessed who must have left such gifts in her place; she did not want to confirm it with Vel. With a happy cheer, she shared the dark chocolates with everyone in her team which infuriated Vel.

“You, stupid girl, and these chocolates I brought it for you. You are sharing with everyone.”

It irritated him more and made him feel like an idiot doing things that doesn’t make sense. Unable to control his rising emotions, he took off and left the office around 1 pm in the afternoon. He rode directly to Marina beach.

Though it was afternoon, he could see crowd over there. He took a shady place behind a boat and started to watch the sea waves that rolled slowly and touched his legs. Enjoying the cool sea breeze, Vel spent his entire afternoon there. As he did not want to get disturbed, he switched off his mobile and kept it aside.

Vel kept on looking at the sea waves. The waves showed irregular bumps and hollows that a love life can also have. Winds that blow over the ocean create currents and waves on the sea. The force of the waves depends on the speed of the wind and the length of the time that it takes to blow. If the wind dies down, there will be no waves and the sea will look calm without any movement.

Peculiarly, Vel compared his love with the waves of the sea. If the force of the love from Reema is showered more on him, the love waves will also take the maximum height or length to move and touch the sea shore.

“Am I becoming a fool to have such thoughts?” Vel spoke to himself. But he needed an outlet and he shared whatever he had in his mind with the evening breeze that blew from the ocean. After 8 pm in the night, he stammered across the sand and reached the main road. He kick started his bike with the speed that showed he was mentally depressed and angry for whatever that has been happening in his life.

After reaching home, Vel switched on his mobile phone again. Caroline’s messages filled his in box. He changed the mobile to silent mode and went to take his evening shower.
After eating dinner, he switched on his computer and started to chat with some of his friends who came online. Around 10 pm, Sanjay came online.

“Hi, how is your love spell?” Sanjay’s message popped on his desktop.

“Are you teasing?” Vel replied.

“No, I am not teasing or joking. It is sincere.” Sanjay wanted to know why he left the office like that without informing anyone.

“Nothing important, just I wanted to relax a while by being alone.” Vel replied without losing his calmness.

“Ok. I think you need a love potion to make your love work. All the best, Good night.” Sanjay signed off and went away.

Vel opened the search engine and started to find some details related to love spells or love potions. He was taken aback by the information he got on the net and he decided to use some of them to make his love work. But he did not know at the same time, Reema was also searching and reading on the net something about love spells and love potions.
Cheerfully both of them started at the same time to win each other’s heart without knowing whatever the person is up to.

To start with, the next day Reema made the romance origami and left it on the desk of Vel. When he looked at it, he was quite surprised to see that as he was also planning to leave the same romance origami at Reema’s desk top. Reema carried one with her and left one at Vel’s desktop, so that he can carry it along with him.

Reema started the game of love. She meticulously planned every step to conquer the regime of love. She planned her first schedule that started with day one and extended till day 9. Day 9 will be the end point for the first schedule. All the time, she did not forget, unless she got the blessings of cupid, she will not succeed in her love.

Reema checked the calendar and chose an auspicious day after the New moon. She prayed and then started to make the Romance Origami.

Day 1

How to prepare Romance Origami

Just fold the paper into a square.

• A pinch of lavender
• A pinch of rosemary
• One piece of orris root
• A piece of stiff red paper

Lay out the paper, and put the herbs in the middle. Fold the paper over a few times to enclose the herbs and make a little "envelope". Seal it shut with a piece of tape or string.
Reema decided to carry the love charm around with her to draw Vel.

When Reema decided to prepare this passion tea, she did not know how she is going to share it with Vel. Reema had to break her head to find out a way to meet him and offer him this passion tea. She entirely relied on Caroline to share this passion tea with him.

Day 2

Aphrodesia Passion Tea

A warm cup of this tea will set the love mood. It can be called as a passion potion, rather than a love potion.

• 1 pinch rosemary
• 1 pinch thyme
• 1 pinch damiana
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons black tea leaves
• 3 mint leaves
• 3 rose petals
• 3 small pieces of lemon zest

Mix everything together with about 3 cups of boiling water, and let it steep in a teapot. Fill your heart with thought about your beloved while it sits for a few minutes. Pour into cups and sweeten it with many spoons of honey to taste good.

Reema always remembered that even love potion spells have their own limits. To make someone love with tricks cannot be successful always, especially if the person is really not interested in you.

Reema in the middle of tight office schedules found it difficult to spare some time to sit and do this herbal love box. She reached home late and left early in the morning. The tight schedule in the office demanded her time, yet one day she sat late night and completed making the herbal love box.

Day 3

Herbal Love Box

Reema decided to prepare this herbal love box and leave it on Vel’s desk. The scent of petals and herbs can attract love when this spell is performed during a full moon.

• A small lidded box or bowl
• Piece of quartz (clear or rose)
• Rose petals
• Chopped vanilla bean
• Lavender buds
• Damiana root
• A pinch of ground cinnamon
• Piece of white paper

Reema decided to make a cute little box as it can be secretly slipped under the computer key board tray. Even with a small quantity, if all the ingredients are kept inside the love box, it can successfully cast its spell.

Reema mixed the flowers and herbs together, and filled the bottom half of the box. Then she wrote 5 qualities that she liked with Vel on a piece of paper. Reema did not forget to include only his personality traits, and not physical traits. She folded the paper at least once, to fit into the box. Then she filled the rest of the box up with the herbs. She placed the crystal right at the top of the herbs and closed the lid. Every night, she opened
