Hope

Present Day:

She saw her own reflection in the water and tears fell on the surface of water disturbing the reflection.

2 Years Ago:

She was crying, sitting on a bench at the park. She was talking to someone as if anyone was sitting next to her ( But there sat no one beside her, SHE WAS ALONE ) She kept crying and talking... and there was a guy who kept looking at her to what she did and what she said. The guy was puzzled to what he saw. The girl kept on talking and also replied to some unheard questions. Later on the girl ran and went out of the park in no time, still crying loudly. The guy sat there thinking about her and left after a while.

Next day he saw the same girl... doing same thing again... she cried and started talking to nobody. Today he couldn't resist & got up to ask the girl whats wrong with her. He thought for couple of minutes & went to the girl. He stood next to her gathered some courage and asked "Are you alright?"
She turned around to see him... Her eyes red and swollen. He stepped back a bit watching her.
"Can't you see? I am crying...!!! Doesn't that mean I am not fine???" The guy was taken aback... He thought for a second about his idiotic question and tried again.
"Is there... Something... I can do? I mea..."
"What do you mean??? "The girl shouted.
"I mean... Do you... wanna talk about something... about your problem... or something like that..." He asked  with pauses & with all the courage he had.
"Can't you see I am with my boyfriend???"
This time guy stepped back again but double the step... He was confused, stunned, a bit afraid and completely numb. The girl left the same way she left yesterday.

The guy came a bit early the next day to watch the girl. He came with many questions... Why was the girl crying? Whom is she talking to? Is she a psycho? Has she lost her boyfriend and she's gone crazy? The last question made some sense to him. The girl came and sat on the same bench as usual but for a change she didn't cry and she was beautifully dressed. She wore a red gown that suited her perfectly. The guy got carried away by her charms and beauty for a couple minutes. Returning back from the trance he started walking towards the girl and was thinking of getting something out of her mind today.

"Hey hi!"
"Hi... Do i know you?"
"Well... we met yester..."
"Oh yeah yeah..." She interrupted. She continued.. "So how are you?" she asked.
The guy had a smile... thinking she is the one who was crying and talking to someone that didn't exist and she's asking me how am I?
"I am doing good.. how are you?
"Oh! Am fine..."
"You look beautiful in this dress!"
"Thanks... Actually its our 2nd anniversary today.. my boyfriend is on his way" She was blushing.
The guy was sweating again... He understood the girl was talking about the same invisible boyfriend.
"Hey look there he is!"
He was scared again
"Hey baby... Happy anniversary... She stood and hugged someone, (No one) to herself.
The guy kept staring with his eyes big and jaw dropping with every second. He had no clue what was going on.

She sat, the guy was still in a shock and the girl was talking happily to her invisible  boyfriend.
"Hey love! Meet..." She stopped and asked the boy.. "Whats your name? "
"Haan! Rrrr.. Rahul" He stammered.
"Hey even his name is Rahul... So Rahul.. meet my new friend Rahul..."
"Heeyyy Hiiii Rrrraahul..."
As soon as he said so... The girl started crying...
The guy was shocked! What happened to the girl suddenly...
"You too are the same like others... You know there's no one sitting beside me still you talking to me... Why can't anyone tell me... shout at me and tell me there's no one... I lost my boyfriend but i can still feel him around.. but no one is willing to make me understand that he's no more.. he's not around... I know he is not with me but still can feel him... His touch his voice... His smell... I just cant accept he is not around me... "
The guy was stoned he could feel the pain of the girl... the way she was expressing... her tears... He slowly put his arm on her shoulder and the girl hugged him instantly and cried like a baby... He consoled her... wiped her tears and stopped her from crying again...
He dropped her home and on their home they didn't utter a word. But there were some unsaid things they both understood. Like they would meet again tomorrow at same place.

Next Day ( A New Journey ) :

They both met at the park and then planned to go out for a coffee where they can share some important parts of their life.

"We met with an accident... I survived but he couldn't... His brain was damaged and he couldn't..." She couldn't complete the rest.
"We had a wonderful relationship... We never fought... We just loved... We cried for each other when we couldn't meet... We just couldn't stay apart but today... here... here i am... alone..." She cried again.
"Shhh!!! Dont cry... someday he had to leave... you have to leave... Kabhi toh door hona hi tha..." He tried a bit.

"Yahh! I know... but why on the day we first met... Yesterday was our 2nd anniversary... and I lost him last year on the same day... for the past one year i have been living with his memories... with his thoughts... with his feel... am living with his memories that still makes me smile... The way he talks... the way he makes me laugh... The way he use to call my name... The smile we use to share... I still live with it... I still live with him... He's still with me... and will always be..."

The guy couldn't believe that true love still survived... He thought about the guy who was so lucky to have her but maybe someone controlling us sitting upstairs didn't want them to be together...

"Can we meet everyday...?"She asked
"Yah we can" He said without even thinking for a second.
"You dont have any work? I mean what do you do?
"Well! My father is a rich man.. He wants me to join him but usse pehle he wants me to enjoy my life.. so he's not allowing me to work.
"Ok so will meet here... everyday... same time..."
"But why me? I mean why you sharing all this with me? Why you wanna meet me? "
"Because you were the first guy who cared about the crying girl and you never wanted anything from me... You know what i mean.."
"Ohhh Ok.. I get it.. You need not worry about that... you are in safe hands..." He said and smiled.
"Yeah I know" She smiled for  the first time.
"Oh my god!.. Look at your smile... its awesome... Keep doing that fella... You look gorgeous... " He said it loudly.
"Hahaha thanks... Feels good to hear some compliment after ages..." She laughed and smiled.
"Anytime jee"

They both left and met everyday...

Slowly as they kept meeting.. the girl was feeling better... she was smiling again... she felt as if she got a new life... They would still talk about him but it didn't affect her much now... She would tell about their memories... about their time they spent... She started sharing everything about her life... She was happy.
The guy only heard to what she said... He never complained anything... he was loving it... He could sit and listen to her for hours and hours...

They started going out... they went out for lunch... dinners... for weekends... they started spending most of their time together... they kept going to each others places... met their families... the girl's parent's were more then happy that their daughter was out of that incident...

But they both never came close... they both never even gave a thought of coming close... they just loved each others company... their talks.. their past.. their memories...

2 Years Later (Present Day) : 

"What happened? You look a bit upset today? " She asked him.
They were sitting at the same coffee shop.
"No I... I am not feeling good... My head's paining... It about to burst..."
"Lets go home... You need rest dear..."
"Yah... Lets go... But to your place... I like being there... Feels homely... At my place at times i feel like a stranger..."
"Yah lets go"
They left from the coffee shop.

On their way home...

She put her arm around him and let him sleep on her shoulder...

"I Love You.." She murmured.
"Did you say something?"
"No nothing... I didn't..."
The girl was back in her past... She could remember the same thing happening with her with her boyfriend... She had tears but wiped them before he could see.

They reached home she made him some tea and he went to sleep... She was lying on the couch... and suddenly the guy came running... pulled her hand and took her out...
The girl was shocked and had no clue what was happening...
"What happened? Where are we going?" She said loudly..
"Just follow me..." He said even more loudly.

He took her to the lake... the girl was shocked... and she already started crying...

She saw her own reflection in the water and tears fell on the surface of water disturbing the reflection.

"I Love You Sunaina" The guy said...
Girl cried and cried... She understood everything...
"I... I love you too babu..." She said and hugged him tightly.

"You proved it again that you love me more than anyone in this world... My baby loves me sabse zyada... mujhse bhi zyada..." He too cried. "I remember everything babu... sabkuch... from day one... when I proposed you here... 4 years ago... The day when i saw you at the park... The guy you were talking to was right there... in front of you... I Love You Baby... I Love You... You were talking to your love... to your life... to your heart... to your heartbeat... to your babu... to me... I also remember the accident... I was hurt... my brain got damaged and I forgot you... I forgot my love..." He cried loudly... They both hugged.. they kissed... they were in love.

"I love you baby... I love you... am soo happy to have you back jaan... am soo happy... I love you.. I love you.. I love you. I love you..." She hugged him again kissed him...

"Am lucky to have you love... Am soo lucky... You waited for me.. you didn't give up... You loved me.. you brought me back... I am with my babu again... with my love... I love you.. I love you..."

The girl's boyfriend was no one else but the same guy... He lost his memory in the accident and all he forgot was his love... But the girl didn't give up... She stood there... She hanged in there till the end.. She loved him till the end.. Everything she did was to bring back her love... She believed in her love.. in their love.. She had this HOPE to get him back.. just a hope... doctors didn't give any assurance but her love proved it.. she did it.. they were together... For the last two years she was with her love but couldn't say those three words.. when they lived together all they did was loved each other.. they said I love you to each other 100's and 1000's times a day.. still they were not content... Its said "Love is sweet when its new... But its better when its true.."  It had been difficult for her to stay in front of her love everyday and still act like a stranger... She would cry for hours and hours after going home.. and would pray to bring back his memory soon... She loved him like mad... He loved her like crazy... They both then lived together... forever...

"All you need to do is just hangin there... "
