She stood at one end facing off from him... Tears are tangling in her eyes without dropping. Unable to face him, she turned back without facing him. It was a very calm surrounding, beautifully glorifying the evening with the chirping sounds of birds, the soft noise of the breeze, the golden light pouring through the rays of the sunset and the silence glooming the situation.
Adhi(Aditya) walked towards her and stood still for a few minutes, and then he grabbed her shoulder gently and turned her to face him. As her chin and eyes were seeing the ground he took it above to look into her eyes sternly.
Her eyes reflect her heart completely. It conveyed him everything. With a sweet smile, he asked her “What happened to my dear?”, though he read her mind already. Actually he was pretty much impressed with himself as he made her to break down emotionally for the first time. Pooja is a very stubborn girl, a never give up attitude and strong in heart and mind, simple and straight-forward, down to earth person. And more than these, she is the most beautiful girl on the earth.
And if such a girl got her nerves because of a guy means, that’s appreciable right?
She had occupied his heart, mind, thoughts, speech, everything. Though he knows that she got the same feeling for him but very stubborn to express it, he decided to make her tell it from her mouth. A girl never accepts if the care shown to them has been shared or gets deviated from them and more importantly girls never like if they are compared with someone else. And he did that obviously. The silence war started when he talked about another girl whom they know very well. He told her, “Pia is very intelligent and pretty looking, right? She got a great personality and passionate about everything like you. I am pretty much impressed with her. And she shares me everything like you and considers me an important person in her life.”
Pooja carried a “Never Mind” attitude to all his crap talk. But it came to an end, when he finished it as “I too care for Pia the same way I do to you.” And here the fight continues…
She showed off her face again and went to another end. After a while regaining her consciousness and realizing of her being behaving like this, she brought back her composure and talked to him with her stubborn attitude, “Nothing happened big, just sank into deep thoughts regarding my future, simple”. Though she tried to talk firmly, he felt her shakiness in her voice.
He extended her thoughts by asking, “Future? What suddenly happened to concentrate on your future now dear?”
Out of rage, she told him “Oh come on, Will you move out of the topic? And will you stop calling dear? You are aware of it, that I don’t like people calling me dear”.
He said, “Yes dear, I knew it. But I hope that there is some difference between me and others. Isn’t it?”
She still continued her anger responding him, “No there is no difference, and all are same to me”.
He dragged her towards him quickly and holds his arms around her waist to that close that she can hear his heart beats. Looking into her eye which is reluctantly trying to hide from his, he asked “Why you are in anger now? What is troubling you? Look into mine and give me an answer. “
She dared to utter any word now and gasped looking at him.
He continued, “I saw a beautiful droplet in your beautiful eyes like dew resting in a rose petal. And I know it’s formed for me and because of me. Agreed?” She flipped her eyes as a sign of yes with a little nod which he can’t capture. But her mouth said, “No, I never cry” immersed very deeply in to his eyes.
“Liar, don’t lie to me Pooja, I read your thoughts by looking into your eyes. I knew the reason behind your anger and I know why you are tensed up right now” he said.
She asked, “Then you are troubling me now, knowing everything. I knew guys always wanted to make girls cry and enjoy it. Boys are sick and you are the most dangerous one. “She tried to escape from his hold as her tears are on the way back to her eyes. But she was unable to move from his holds as it became even stronger now.
He moved his head front to reach her ear and said, “Finally you agreed that something is there and I am responsible for it. Your conception about boys is wrong, esp. if it’s about me then I must clarify it, right? I will give you my shoulder to cry, arms to hold, and love to console you, if you tend to cry because of me. Those are most valuable things to me, your tears. I don’t have any idea about others, but I am damn sure about myself towards you. I just wanted to hear those magical 3 words which every guy wish to earn from his girl. And hence, I wanted you to realize it and I wished to know how you react to it.
With the weak sobs dried and faded, she said “You are great idiot, Adhi with a cute smile in her face. And you don’t dare to talk about any other girl to me again. Still standing in his warm wrap, she touched his face and caressing his hair she said with such an intense in her voice and eyes locked into his eyes, “You are important me, I like you a lot because you know what I need by seeing my eyes. I always wondered how you to get to know everything. You do anything for me without a second thought. Everyone knows that I don’t express anything to anyone but you brought it out of me. You made me feel special among others. Your care which changed me a lot, how I supposed to leave you sharing it with someone else. And now listen to my heart beat which tells your name.” By saying this, she hugged him and happy tears rested in his shoulders. Frozen by her words and closeness, he told to himself “My best day in my life.” Overwhelmed by joy, he wanted to shout and jump, but he is still waiting for those exact words from her. He tapped her head gently and called her by name. “Pooja, so you are not angry on me anymore right?” She interrupted him and told, “I know you culprit, and this is not enough for you, right. Then open your heart to listen now to your long waited three words.” She whispered in his ear, you are going to get more than you have expected. And looking into his eyes again, she said,
I am Possessive on you, will never let you share my care to someone else.
I need you, throughout my life.
Will never leave, till I die. He stopped her without uttering the word completely by placing his finger over her lips. But she still continued.
And,
I love you, throughout my entire life. Till I live in this world, I will never miss to express it and bring you joy. Even after me leaving this world, my memories will love you and bring you happiness, Adhi. Did you hear more than what you have expected, Adhi? She is smiling with every muscle in her face with twinkling eyes.
He cried in joy and hugged her tightly. Standing at the hilltop, he shouted like anything and it echoed everywhere. He said, “I got my life, what else I need still. You are the most precious thing I ever owned. And I will never leave anything happen to you, Pooja. And I will never let you down. Will live up to your expectations and make myself more worthy to you. I love you. Sorry, I am unable to speak now due to extreme happiness.” And he continued to shout like a mad. Then they walked holding their hands in between the carved mountain road, playing, shouting, and chatting happily ever after.
