sorry for the delay Roopali...i will try my best to update both tomorrow😳

"Im very scared..What if this lift crashes to the ground! Both of us will die..and you'll be responsible for our deaths..Hell I don't know why I came behind you like a crazy infatuated teenager..Maybe my medicines are causing all this mess with my hormones!" she spat out.

"Shall I say something..You came here because you got jealous..Am I right?" he said.

"Jealous and me! Of course not..it's such a pity that you think of yourself so much attractive..But I have to burst your bubble..You are just another man to me..and for your information let me tell you, im thinking of going abroad to continue my studies and I'm glad I wouldn't need to see your wretched face for atleast two more years" she harrumphed in the darkness.

This is the same face you had vowed that you'll spend an entire life time with and beyond that..How could you be so cruel!' he thought in the dark.

"Manyata? I need an answer for the question that's just arisen in my mind..can you just spare me a moment." He asked candidly without letting her comprehend how close he had come to breaking into pieces from inside.

"do I have another choice? Shoot" he could almost picture her eyes rolling in the quietness of lift's tiny space.

"why do you hate me so much? I have tried to be as gentle as possible with you since you opened your eyes..except-"

He recollected the one time when he had lost his patience with her. Even then his hold on his mind was firm and he had backed away just in time. So she had literally no reason to hate his guts the way she was doing now.

"-except just once" he continued. "I tried reasoning with you..i made an effort to see the whole issue from your place..but you continue to despise me..why Manyata? Why?"

For the first time during whole conversation, her mind began searching for an answer. She was grudgingly forced to admit that he was right. He had done nothing to deserve the hatred she had spewed.

They remained in silence until it began to be so thick that it could almost be touched. Then Manyata spoke first. "I thought hard and deep..i realize you are right; in the future, i would make an effort to be civil with you..But i need a promise from you.."

"Try me"

"Promise me that you will not force me to fall for you, to fall in love with you..That's what you were doing today isn't it? Trying to make me jealous..Yes I admit I was a bit jealous but its not what you think it is..Believe me" she said.

"I promise" he tried to be as casual as he could but still his voice dropped at the last syllable.

"Udayveer..Let me tell you something..If we are truly destined to be together..nothing can stop it..but if we are not, then nothing we do can make it..so I can't say if I will ever come to love you or not..but I'll try to be cordial with you..ok?" she groped for his hand in the dark and found it.

When she pressed the back of his hand, he could feel a friendly smile forming on her face. well..he had expected much more but she had offered him an entirely different thing. Well..something was better than nothing..maybe some day in distant future their relationship would gain its former state; maybe not..he thought ruefully.

The lights came back and the lift began to move, putting an end to the small but the heartfelt conversation they had had since a really long time. Udayveer had not expected this level of maturity from Manyata after her bout of jealousy in the Hotel. But he felt lighter than before now.

In the few weeks that followed Manyata recovered fully and did not need Tara's assistance anymore. She informed her decision of going abroad to their family and they readily agreed. Manveer's relationship grew closer to friendship if not love.

Udayveer helped her in procuring a Visa and the other things required to travel abroad. Sometimes he would sit and recollect the how drastically their relationship had changed ever since that night he had rescued her from killing herself. It seemed another era, another time which had happened to someone else.

Though they were not backslapping buddies yet, Udayveer could make a joke at manyata's expense and get away with it. She would pull his cheeks and call him a duffer. Atlast the day of Manyata's departure came and everyone grew emotional. The family had mututally decided that Udayveer would accompany Manyata on the trip and stay with her till she is settled comfortably in her university provided accomodation. She was going to England for a course in graphic desigining and animation.

Her eyes became damp when they bid good bye to their family at the departure gate. God knows when she'll see them again? But it was a relief to know that she wasn't alone. Her best friend, -yes she could call him her best friend now- was with her.

"Udayveer..i need one more promise from you..do you promise to remain friends with me forever? Say yes.." she looked at him with huge eyes.

"Yes" he placed a hand over her cheek and bent to kiss her forehead. She hugged him tightly in answer and by force he had to curtail the gigantic ocean of tears from flowing out.

"This is to our friendship" she Hi-fived him.

Her hands remained fused with his through out the 8 hour flight and she slept contented. The composure he had maintained had reached its breaking point and he was trying hard to hold on to it. Udayveer couldn't get a wink of sleep and remained wide awake when the Heathrow airport came into view next morning.

After security check and other checks had got over, Uday had gone to collect their baggage and Manyata waited for him impatiently. He came back atlast and her broad smile faded as she saw the expression on his face. He looked tense. Why?

"Uday I think you are tired from the journey..Come let's go find a hotel so you can rest and then we could go site seeing and then-"

"Manyata..Im going back to india..today; in the afternoon flight.." he announced starkly.

"why? What happened? Is there an emergency? Tell me..i need to know" she said alarmed.

"no..nothing of that kind..yes, im tired..i can't stay with you anymore..im bloody tired of being your friend dammit!" he blurted out.

The breath caught in her throat and she had to swallow back to regain her balance. If she hadn't been holding the grill behind her she would have fallen.

"oh really? Fine..i accept it..its my life and I'll deal with it..You can go back" she managed in a small voice.

He walked a few steps and stopped. "don't you want to hear the reason why im walking out? How can you let me go so easily?" he asked her.

"when you broke our friendship, all our rights on each other seized to exist Udayveer..you can go your way..i'll go mine..bye forever" she said in a strong voice which held no feelings.

"you and speak of rights? Ha! Is that a joke? Let me tell you the truth before I leave the hell out of your life..we are a married couple Manyata..and there is proof of that which I hid from you so that you wouldn't be hurt.. I tried my damndest best to make you realize but you never did..in the process of friendship I fell in love with you all over again..but I suppose that doesn't matter to you.."

"I tried so hard to be the friend you wanted but I couldn't kill my love for you..so its best if we go far from each other..too far even to be contacted by phone..and unfortunately today is our first wedding anniversary and I couldn't stop myself from picturing how it would have been if.." his throat sucked closed from tightness.

Manyata wanted to say something but just then an announcement over the mike stopped her.

"this is to the notice of all passengers in the airport..we have seized the whole airport and nobody dare to move..otherwise you'll be killed..everyone stay where you are..all exit and entry points have been taken by our men.." a gruff voice announced.

Manyata gasped in disbelief as masked men rushed out from various corners with guns in their hands. they fired blindly in the air and Udayveer who was standing some 10 feet distance from her, ran towards her to shield her from them.

A bullet sounded and the next thing she saw was Uday's writhing body on the floor. It was then she knew..she knew that her friendly feelings for her had long shed their garb and metamorphosised into love..something so deep that she couldn't measure the depth of it..but..

but he was sinking and needed to be hospitalized immediately.

"Somebody call an ambulance..save him..save my Husband!" yes she accepted him as her husband at the very second although she couldn't recollect their wedding. And it felt great to pronounce it on her tongue.

"we will make sure you reach an ambulance lassie..take this" the terrorist raised the butt of the gun at her.

Something inside her told her its now or never..she needed to confess. "I love you Udayveer..i love you so much..madly..crazily..stupidly..with my heart" she screamed to be heard above the din.

Uday extended his hand up with great effort and before she fell unconscious she caught hold of it. then it was blank..pitch darkness all over..

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a room which was painted white. Nurses and doctors roamed here and there and she looked around. Where was Uday?

"I think we lost him..the bullet went straight to his heart doctor..how would we face his family?" a nurse said.

"how can it be? No..no..save him..do some operation..do something..i don't want to hear anything..i will sue you..just tell me he is alive.." she realized this voice came from her throat.

"missie you can't be getting off that bed now..otherwise-" she interrupted the doctor and yelled out "how can you just let him die? How! Do you even realize how it is to lose a loved one? He is my husband for godsake..make him come alive again!" her eyes were full of tears.

"your husband is alive miss Manyata..how could he not? sorry..we were talking about someone else..but yes, we thought Udayveer would die but he kept fighting back for life whenever we believed he lost..he is out of danger..you can see him now..true love can just do anything in the world.." another doctor announced.

One week later an Air India flight was on its way to India. "don't you regret backing out from that course because of me? You could have stayed back and completed it.." Udayveer said.

"when you find your real love nothing else matters..oh yes..i need to tell u something..though I cannot remember the smallest detail of my previous life, im loving this new life..come lets make some new memories..i love you and will keep loving you till eternity's end" she kissed him full on mouth in public view.

He gladly kissed her back without minding the place, time and people.
