Norway was freezing with snowfall.The white snow was making its presence feel on each and everything.The whole city was covered with the whiteness of snow.Roads were blocked and the weather was too cold but today snowfall was still stopped since morning.
I was standing across the church waiting for Sharon.Even though I had asked her not to come out in the heavy weather but she was adamant to meet me for God knows what reason.I reached the place before fifteen minutes of the punctual time because I didn't want to take risk by getting late because unlike other high school girls who loved be the cheerleadrs for the basketball team she was a great boxer and I realized it only after she punched me in my face once when I got one hour late for Enrique's concert who apparenty happened to be her favourite singer.
I was waiting for her when I saw her come running at a maddening speed toward me.
"Stop Sharon"I screamed.
"I can't"She replied back and bumped into me and we both fell in the snow covered road.
"Ouch!!!!"Sharon whined in pain.
"Whats wrong with you?Is everything fine?And why the hell were you running in that Jet Speed?"I asked everything in just one breath.
"Oh Yes!Thats because I had to tell you something Important."She said looking at me emphasasing on the word Important'.
"You could have called me Sharon"I said thinking how stupid she can be at times.
"No!If I would have told you this on phone then I would have missed some expressions on your face"She said arranging her freckles in place.
"What?????"I said in a high pitched voice.
"Yeahhh"Sharon said looking at me with a wierdo expression.
"What was so important?"I finally asked her.
"I love You"Sharon said fluttering her wide beautiful eyes.
Now I was stunned would be an Understataement.Out of everything and everyone in the world I didn't expect to hear this from her. . .not in that melodramatic way but because She neither behaved like that with me EVER nor she gave me any signals like that.I was still looking at her With my mouth hung open and I shouted at the top of my voice."What?????"
Sharon kept her hand on her ears.
"Damn Swayam You are such A drama queen. . .Yes I love You Now say"
"Say what?"I said Still not believing my ears.
"Oh Freak!!!What a guy!!!Say I love you too Sharon"Sharon rolled her eyes.
"Bu. . .But. . ."I fumbled.
"What?But?I know You Love Me and that too from seventh standard. . .I never said anything because I thought You will make a move but you are too slow Shekhawat. . .So I decided to confess. . .Now say or I will punch you in the face"
"I love You Too Sharon . . .And I m saying this not because you will punch me in my face with your handsbut because I know with the same hands you can feed me awesome noodles."I finally said as happiness made way to my every part of the body.
"The FOODIE you are. . .But thank god you didn't start with Bollywood Dialouges"Sharon smiled and hugged me tightly and I fell on my back with her on top.
"Wait!Was that a Confession?"I asked bemused.
"Yeah. . .what else it looks like to you?Sharon said widening her eyes.
"If that's the case then It can be announced as the most weird confession of all times."I said chuckling at the turn of events.
"Ofcourse it has to Be. . .Afterall no one loves anyone for noodles"Sharon said and we both giggled.
I turned her getting on her top and Sharon under me and placed my lips on hers and we kissed savouring each other's taste and expressing the love we had in our hearts for each other since a long time. . .Celebrating the new found love.We parted and I looked in Sharon's eyes. . .I had never seen her this happy.She always behaved like a tomboy,Like a tough nut to crack but she dreamt of a Prince Charming on a white horse and that was something which was known to me only. . .I smiled looking at her and got up forwarding my hand to her.She gave her hands in mine and looked up.The snowfall had again started sending shivers.She rubbed her hands across her chest and I took her in my arms to which her eyes broadened.
"Behaving like a boyfriend already?"She said playfully.
"Snowfall,A handsome boyfriend, some alone time and A ot of Romance. . .I don't think you mind that,Girlfriend?"I said smirking.
Sharon's cheeks turned pink and she hid herself in my chest and I promised myself that one day I would marry this girl in the same church in the same winter which has been the witness of our first chapter of love.
