FATE (the end) : Hey!, Arnav beamed as he met Megha. Hey Arnav!, Megha greeted back with a warm smile and they both shook hands. Arnav felt at ease touching her hand after so many days. He wanted to tell her how much he loved her. He wanted to go back with her. The aura took him back to the past where all mattered to him was her. Ankita became a blur image in his mind, he was forgetting her. Ankita stood still at a distance, with a content smile on her face. Her heart thumped as she prepared herself for the biggest loss of her life, Arnav. There was a hint of happiness in her face even though he was going to leave her. Happiness, to see the love of her life smile like that. After all, this was what she had wished for. If it was for his happiness, Ankita would readily break her heart thousand more times. Whats happened to you? You look so weak. You havent even shaved, Megha looked concerned. Its the new trend, you know, Arnav chuckled. Megha hit him and they both laughed, just like the old days. They both seemed happy to be with each other finally. I missed you., Megha confessed. Why didnt you say that earlier? It has been two months now and not even a day has passed when I didnt think about you. I missed you too., Arnav blurted out. I wanted to tell you. But you got committed with Ankita. I thought I shouldnt be disturbing you guys., she said with her eyes fixed at the ground. Arnav didnt know what to say. All these days, they both have been missing each other and were still apart. Do you still love me?, he asked holding her hand. Yes!, she said, Im sorry for leaving you. It was my mistake that I had trust issues with you. After the break-up, I thought Id be okay. But it was not as easy as I had thought. And it was so sweet of Ankita to call me and clarify everything. What? She called you?, Arnav asked surprisingly. Yes. You didnt know?, Megha asked. No. What did she tell? She told me that you still love me. And she wanted me to come here and meet you so that we clear our misunderstandings., Megha replied. Arnav was speechless. He had forgotten about Ankita for the last few minutes. He turned to look at her and there she was, standing where he had left him, smiling as beautifully as ever. She looked amazing in that black dress. Arnav felt like a culprit. He knew how much she loved him and still never valued it. She didnt even care for her own happiness and tried to mingle him and Megha up. The mere thought of it made his heart heavy. Why had he forgotten that after Megha left, it was Ankita who had given him a shoulder to cry on. And after that, she hadnt left her even once. Obviously it hurt her whenever he used to mention Megha infront of her, but she never showed it. She was even ready to let go just because his happiness resided in Megha. Such a selfless love was rare these days. God didnt make girls like Ankita much, he thought. All of a sudden, Ankita saw Arnab holding Meghas hand and taking her to a gift shop. Her heart sank seeing that sight. It was now difficult for her to keep that smile on. This was it. He was gone, forever. She wanted to cry and take out all that was inside. But she stood there, fighting back tears, just in case Arnav comes to bid a final good-bye, she didnt want to show her tears to him. She wanted to be happy infront of him. After some time, they both stepped outside, hand in hand, and headed towards her. Her heart started thumping and she took long breaths to stabilize herself. It was becoming more and more difficult for her to act sane. She wasnt normal, she wanted to escape to solace where she could cry her heart out. The final good-bye was a few steps away. They both came near, and Arnav broke the silence. Since you both havent met each other in person, let me introduce you both., he said with a relieved smile on his stubbled face. He continued. Ankita, this is Megha. And Megha, this is Ankita, my angel!, he said and pulled Ankitas cheeks. Ankita stood there, motionless. The peaking heartbeats that she had finally managed to subside, had started to throb again. A sweat bead tickled down her neck. Before she could utter a word, Megha spoke, Ankita, Arnav and you make the perfect couple. God bless you both. He loves you, and not me. She held Ankitas hand and placed it over Arnavs. Arnav, took out a gift box nicely wrapped up, and handed it over to Ankita. With trembling hands she unwrapped it, and took the box out. It was box full of chocolates. Chocolates, because you love them more than roses, he winked at her. Still unable to escalate what had happened in the last couple of minutes, she managed to smile back at him. There was a pink blossom on her face now that looked mesmerising. I love you. Will you be mine forever?, he said, caressing her right hand. She nodded, and released the tears that she was holding back for so long. But they didnt go past her cheeks, as Arnav wiped them off. -The End #Vinit
