I don’t have change” she told the bus conductor.
“Take this” a boy standing behind replied handing over a 10 rs note.
She hesitated but took it since there was ticket checking going on.
She smiled and said “ Thank you. Shall I Paytm you, because I don’t have change as you know”.
“So, shall I give you my number?” he smiled looking into her eyes.
“Don’t be so happy, it’s just for transferring the amount” she blushed.
*Conductor shouted manuvana*
“This is my stop and here’s my number” he gave her the card while still looking in her eyes.
“Bye and thanks again” she replied with dilated pupils.

“ragini” the voice got her back to sense she closed her dairy and stood up from study walking towards their room
She entered and found it all mess a man was standing near cupboard trying to figure about his wear
She placed her hand on her forehead and sighed and walked inside collecting the scattered clothes
He was pissed as she was not yet their he turned to call her
“ragi” but stopped in middle seeing her placing the heap of clothes on bed
She gave him a glare and he sheepishly smiled at her
‘oh god he looks so cute’ she thought in mind and tried to maintain her stern look
She raised her eye brow crossing her arms
“wo I was not getting my important file and I remember placing it in cupboard” he blurted
She walked towards the drawing and took out a file
“this” and he happily nodded taking it
She was more frustrated because he knew well where she had placed but still
“wo” she stopped in her way and turned
“did u see my dairy” he asked and she bite her inner cheek trying to act stren and nodded no
He sighed and began his search again
She smiled at her silly lie she found his dairy while cleaning his cupboard he never let her touch his things particularly a box placed
But one day when he was at work she took it
And found many things and many were his childhood memories with him mom and a dairy
She walked towards kitchen to prepare dinner
She was kidding dough when she felt a pair of hands across her waist he placed his head on her shoulder and she leaned back to him
“worried” she asked and he nodded
He couldn’t understand how could she understand him so well without him speaking a word she could understand him emotions what had he done that she loves him so much
She turned towards him and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek
He smiled at her
She kissed on his other cheek and then corner of his lips
He smiled at her remembering flashback
He got her dairy and he randomly opened a page

Flashback
After that incidents things changed probably she started to understand him and he knew more of her
They didn’t had much conversation but she had got his number
She paytm him his cash and he got her number
He was so happy having her number
But he didn’t dare to call her nor did she
The love was silent but was beautiful they loved stealing glances of each other
His all worried ended just seeing her smile
And she loved to be around him help him
She could read his eyes that showed some unknown pain they hardly spoke and she could read his heart that was too surprising even for her but she didn’t know why she had this urge to be in his arms
She wondered what was that all about and finally a day was their
She found him sitting all alone in garden it was dusk and she didn’t think she would find him their
She found tear mark on his face
‘had he been crying’ she thought and walked towards him
She wouldn’t have dared to ask him but his pain was irresistible for her
She walked and sat next to him
He could easily figure out her presence he didn’t know why he had a urge to hug her and let his pain out
She wanted to know his pain
“wo you” she couldn’t ask but he figured
“today Is my mom’s death anniversary I lost her when I was 10 years old and today I am missing her like no other day” he said his head was down
She gently touched his shoulders and he held her hand
He had the urge to lay his head on her lap. It has been years since he did that and it brought back a flood of memories of his childhood.
She gently smoothed his hair and ran her cool hand over his face. She spoke softly, saying “It’s nice” and other words which didn’t really make sentences, yet were comforting to hear for him
her words don’t make sense anymore, he cried remembering how he used to be with his mother
when he laid his head in his mothers lap. This golden reminiscence makes him her child forever
she consoled him and soothed his pain it had been years that he cried he never let other know about his problem but today he felt to say her and he did so
after that day things changed
the feelings that were having for each other took a new dimension
their phase of friendship started from their
they knew about each other’s feeling but neither he took lead nor did she
it been years of their friendship they finshed schooling and college
he joined his dad business and she worked as financial advisor life was again different for them
they talked less know they felt lone they needed each other he couldn’t imagine his life without her she had become his life
“hi” he greeted her
She was looking gorgeous in red gown
Finally he had asked her for out and he was standing in front of her house waiting for his love he was determinant to say his feelings today
“you are looking beautiful” he said and she shyly smiled and mouthed thank you
He lead her way to car
Soon they reached the restaurant
Had talk’s but he didn’t know how to start they finished their dinner and were way back to home
She was waiting for him to start she was angry the way he was delaying and he was worried about her reaction
They got in car
“stop”she said
He looked questioningly towards her
“ice cream” she said hoping that atleast know he’ll say his feeling
They got down from car
They were near beach and hardly their was a ice cream vendor around
“but where”
“umm I know a distance from here on beach their is vendor” she lied hoping that he would say
They walked but to their luck they found vendor soon
She cursed her stars
He got her ice cream
And he asked for starting back
“can we please stay here some time please” she requested and he couldn’t deny her
They walked in silence
“sanskar” she called he searched her and found her in water she splashed some water on him and started laughing
He was lost in her laugh
She splashed again and that bought him out of his la la land
He jumped in water and threw her in it she was all wet know he was laughing at her state and even she laughed and stopped
“look at urself” she said and it flashed him he jumped in water and was all wet
He glared her
And both busted in laugh
“shall we go” she asked
And started walking but he was still standing their
She looked back and found him standing still
“sanskar we are getting late”
He walked to her
He knew if not today then never
“Can I Kiss you¨, he asked Under the ill-lit sky, during a romantic stroll she was shocked and didn’t except him to ask so he gently held her face and she was still looking in eyes lost
She jerked and he was disappointed
¨ Give me some time. First kisses are not asked for they just happen¨she said bowing her head down Stunned, he asks “Have you never kissed before?¨ she was angry on question
“idiot I didn’t had many bf’s like u had many gf’s” she said being pissed and he giggled and moved close to her
“so u don’t want me to kiss you” he asked raising her chin
¨ No I am just nervous. First kisses are supposed to be magical, right? And as magical as this moment feels I refrain myself from kissing you because I am afraid that things between you and me won´t always be the same. I am afraid that you will walk out on me. What if I kiss you and the infinity of the nothingness that surrounds us engulfs me? What if I kiss you and the moment your lips taste mine the tiny little stars don´t shine brighter?What if I kiss you and I am somehow unable to fall into the beautiful illusion that true love can be? What if I kiss you and your lips don´t paint a completely new universe on mine and I am not left craving for it? What if I kiss you and that moment I don´t wish the time to freeze? What if I kiss you and I can´t taste what heavens feel like?What if I kiss you and you pull away because somehow you couldn´t taste the love that my heart is brimming with ? ¨
She blurted and he was shocked this girl was really too innocent and pure unknowingly she said her heart to him and he didn’t know what to say but he held her face in his hands gently putting the hair string behind her ear her eyes brimmed so much of love for him and he was just lost in her angelic face
¨ I might not be able to, at this particular moment, assuage your fears but one thing is for sure love for me hadn´t existed before I met you and in every waking hour all I have thought about is you and I am sorry for every other moment that I have not been able to express how much I have loved the void in you because I know my love is going to fit in as perfectly as the glass shoe fitted Cinderella. The only difference being that the moment the shoe fitted Cinderella the prince knew he had found his princess but when my love fills your void perfectly my princess will know that she has found her prince. May be the stars don’t shine but my love will definitely make ur heart brim it would be that u don’t like some of my habits and I don’t yours but one thing is for sure that our love would never decrease with every passage of second I assure you that I would love you more and more ¨
She looked towards him in amusement a lone tear escaped her eye and he wiped it
“so may know I have the privilege to kiss my love” he asked and she nodded shly
Soon his lips captured her
The moment their lips met turned to bliss the time around them seemed to be stopped the moon shied and stars brim more bright
“will u marry me”he finally asked kneeling in front of her holding a ring
And she had no reason to say no
