The Day I Died

"Ummm wanna meet you, NOW!"
"Why? What happened? All good? Sab thik?"
"Shuuu..t.."
"Ohhhh Missing me huh?" I interrupted
"Shut up, Don't ask me anything now, will let you know everything... But, first meet me as soon as possible."
"Ohhhhhkk"
"So See you in 30 minutes."
"What?Wait! 30Minutes!? Is it that important?"
"Yes! and you better not be late"
"ok!" I said in a low tone but she had disconnected the call.

            The conversation made my brain think NOTHING. She was tensed and worried I could sense that. There was this weird feeling approaching me... which said 'Something's gonna happen, SOMETHING BAD... or rather WORST'. I was now thinking at the speed of light. Actually I was OVER thinking and when you over think its only Negative thoughts that cover your mind like the black clouds before rain.
Lots of questions started hitting me here and there everywhere... What would have happened? Is she ok? Is everything at her place fine? has anyone got the hint about us, we being in a relationship? What if her Dad gets to know about this? Will he accept us(me)? (No. my mind replied the very next second )Will her sister help us? What if she asks me to marry her? Am I ready? Will I be able to take her responsibility NOW? How will I convince her dad? Do we have run and get married? and on and on and on... this continued until I reached.
           We met at an old under construction building as no one saw us there as the construction work was stopped long time back.  We sat at the top most slab of the building, the 8th floor. It had nothing except few incomplete pillars. I went upstairs running, falling on my knees twice.
          I loved her so much, more than anyone. She was my life and still is. It took her 5 years to confess, to say that she loved me. She was on my mind every second, my dreams always comprised of her, I could go gaga about her for the entire day... 'I Love Her'. She was 'Pretty' but her heart was 'Gorgeous' , 'Spotless' , 'Bliss' I couldn't have asked for anything else. She meant 'World' to me. Her eyes 'Big fat almond shaped just like a new born baby's' her hair 'Sheer Beauty' those flicks when rested on her cheeks would add more charm to her beauty. She got beautiful every time I met her. I still have no clue how she use to do that. She had the most graceful walk and the best part was 'She was beautiful and she didn't knew it' And now for the first time ever she was upset, the girl I love, the love I admired.
          While I was on my way I made sure I buy something for her, to bring that 'Smile' on her face again. So I picked up Red rose and a Dark Chocolate (Her Favorite). I reached upstairs and to not to my surprise she was already waiting for me as I was 10 minutes late. "Sooorrrr..." I did not even complete my sorry and she came running and hugged me. The flower and the Chocolate were down. I was now getting more worried, I could feel the tears on my shoulder and in no time she was crying... and sobbing.

"Hey! What happened?" I tried to release myself from her magical embrace but I couldn't.
"Shhh..." She was still crying like a baby.
"Stay here... In my arms" She ORDERED many times
"Am always there for you... In your arms and heart... Don't worry, whatever it is, will be fine." I consoled. 
 I decided to keep quite and let her cry, maybe that would make her calm down and she will be able to speak than.

            After about 5 minutes of crying, sobbing, hugging, embracing and consoling she finally released me from her. She stood in front of me with eyes swollen, pink cheeks and tomato red nose. She placed her hands on my cheeks and kissed me all over my face... Forehead, Eyes followed by Noes, Cheeks, Chin and to end with, a passionate kiss on lips. "I Love You... I Love You so much..." She was about to cry again but this time it was me who hugged her.

"Feeling Better? "
"It can never be better." She said holding my hands.
"What? I am not getting you? Whats the issue sweetheart?" I was getting nervous, impatient, restless and don't know what else.
"ITS OVER"
"Whats over?"
"ITS ALL OVER BETWEEN US"
"Whh...hhaattttt are you saying? Are you in your senses? "
"I wish I was not... I wish" She was crying again.
"Look at me... Tell me exactly, whats the issue, whats the fuzz about... Why are you crying? And OVER? Are you out of your mind?" I would get paranoid by now but I never shouted or scolded her so I kept my voice low.
"Please tell me dear..." I continued. Both of us staring deep into each others eyes, I was lost then and there. 'ITS OVER' kept echoing in my mind.
"We have to put an end to our relationship, my... my wedding has been fixed."
"WHAT!" It was more of a shock than a question. "And you too Agreed??? Tell me you are not serious, tell me its a prank, tell me its a dream and will get over soon..." I was broken, I was shattered, My senses were out of order, My mind was not responding. I was numb. I WAS DEAD.
"I don't have the courage to do anything against my dad."
I was in no position to speak and react.
"I am sorry... I know I have hurt you... I know..."She was sobbing again " I know how much you love me, even I do, but... I just don't have courage, those guts to marry you against my dad's will."
I looked at her... Her wet teary eyes... "If you had courage to love me... Why can't you convince your dad? We will convince your dad." I said wiping off the tears running down my cheeks.
"I know my dad... He would rather kill me but he will never accept this."
"Why sweetheart? Why? I... I Love You yaa... " It was me crying now... Like a kid with a broken toy. She broke my heart just like a toy, there was no much difference between me and that kid.
"Please... Don't do this to me... We'll try once... Please... "I was almost pleading her. Tears made their way down the cheeks and in a much rapid way.
"Don't... Don't cry please... Its not easy for me too... I cannot live without you... But we have to do this... Please... For me... For your Love... For your Suhani Please! " And we both cried our heart out. We hugged each other.. We embraced... We kissed... Again and Again... We didn't wanted to leave each other. We wanted to spend our entire life together but here we were... Crying... Meeting for the last time... I couldn't say much as she made me swear on our good times spent together... on our love... on her. At times even though you don't believe on such stuff you end up trusting them and believing them.

I died. With no senses working, nothing in the world seemed fine as the person whom I loved, admired, use to respect was not with me anymore.

"I should now leave..." Her eyes staring mine. "I Love You..."
"Don't say that..." I interrupted.
"Am sorry... But please don't do this... please... I Love You... and will always do..." Tears made their presence again
"I can never ever forget you... I will never forget you... You'll be safe in my heart..." She said those lines and gave me a smile as those lines were once said my me to her. The day I proposed her... the day I was born again and today she was consoling me with the same line on 'The Day I Died'.
"I Love You Too... the time we had spent... Was the time I lived my life... Because they had you... and now... MY LIFE is going away from me, leaving me, to die" I said taking big pauses as I cried and she hugged me tightly and so did I. We kissed and we kissed again.
"Please go before I break down because if I do..."
She was coming close to me again...
"Look if you come any closer... I am not letting you go..." Though this line was from a movie it still had a lot of impact on the situation. She stopped. She did not wanted to leave but she had to. I had to.
She picked up the rose and the chocolate and looked at me with teary eyes... for the very last time. I managed to smile and so did she... She started moving... She was leaving... I was watching her for the last time... Tears were rolling down my cheeks... And in no time she was out of my sight... I was down on my knees and cried out loudly... I was sobbing... Everything about her came to me like a flashback black and white movie... The first time I saw her, the confessions, the coffee, the early morning meetings, the pranks, her laughter, her smile, her giggles, her eyes, her pathetic PJ's everything came back to me like a bazooka.

I had no reason to live, I had many reasons to die. But I wasn't that weak... My love wasn't that weak...
I separated myself from the rest of the world, I started living alone, Talking to no one, I tried to keep myself busy, I worked day and night... But nothing helped... She was still there... She will always be there... My love for her will always persist. If heart beating and senses working means you are living than yes I am living but, If you live for someone, the person you love... I DIED THAT DAY.

Leaving you'll here with many questions Why didn't I force her? Why did she love me if didn't had the courage to face her dad? What happened to her and to me? Did we ever meet? I would say... Its Love... And its not about getting someone... Its not about expecting the love back from them... Its all about feelings.

"Love cannot me forced... Its unconditional, Unreasonable without any Hopes and Expectations"
