These months have given him many beautiful moments in life. be it the beautiful scenic beauty of their campus or the strong friendship he has developed with Arjun and Siraj; he was going to cherish these moments all his life . he was happy and he knew that gaurav would also be happy to see his friend moving on but he was a video journalist , his work was to catch the moments, feelings in his camera which he himself did't forget, so how could he forget the guilt; yes he still missed him and felt guilty for not being able to save him but he was moving on for his best friend, for his brother and the driving force for this change was Anjali Rawat, the girl he loved immensely.
Yes, he loved her and who would not. She was beautiful, intelligent, determined , self confident and always a helping hand. Morever she made him forget his worries, she made him smile, laugh and she made him feel complete. All these factors just helped him in falling more deeply for her.
Today she got the prize for which she climed Everest, she won her father's love and acceptance. He saw her hugging her father and mother, she was happy. But somewhere deep inside he knew that she was not his . Anjali has told him thet her marriage was fixed when they were climbing the peak and he knew that she will never break her father's trust. He even didn't know that if she felt the same. He never tried to know as he believed that for her he was her best friend. Arjun knew about his feelings but he respected his decision of not telling her.
He saw her from a distance talking blissfully to her parents and introducing Ruth to them. Arjun was also standing there talking to her parents. He got involved in talking With Siraj when Anjali appeared behind him. Siraj excused himself from their as they both got involved in their talking.
They wandered off in the campus and came to one of the most beautiful sight of their institution. Anjali was busy in talking while he just stood there lost in her expressions. Her phone rang and she started to leave. In that spur of moment he felt like his soul was leaving him, like his happiness was going away from him again.
He just caught hold of her hand and said innocently " Don't go Anjali . "
Anybody would have thought of it as a friend asking his friend to stay for sometime more but Anjali was not just anybody. She looked deep into his eyes and saw that longing, that care and foremost she saw that love he had for her. Yes she knew he loved her ; he was like a open book , very easy to read and she has seen the way he cared for her, protected her, made her laugh,smile . She knew he loved her from the moment he fell for her and she knew this because she loved him.
He was a simple boy and his simplicity was the thing she liked the most. She loved the way he adored his passion, she loved his smile , his playfulness , his every act and every talk . She loved him for the way he cared for her and respected her. She agreed that she had been struck hard by cupid.
Anjali wanted him to tell her that he loved her but he never did and she well knew the reason. She had already told her father about it and her father had agreed to her. She only wanted a chance to get it out of his mouth and now she got it.
" Its not like I am leaving for forever"
" no... actually"
" what actually ? "
"just don't go"
"why ?" she asked.
She wanted him to speak. She just turned when he said those words.
"I love you Anjali Rawat,if you will leave I will again be incomplete, lonely and fallen. You are the one who can repair me, dumbstruck me and i don't know what else to say just don't leave."
He himself didn't know how he spoke those words. He was going weak on his knees thinkink what Anjali will do when she replied
" So Mr. Akaash Joshi it took you these many months to say these words. don't tell me the daredevil Akaash Joshi was scared."
Akaash probably not in his sense just stammered " what you mean ?"
" I LoveYou Akaash . Do you get it and I want to be in your life , your photos,in your talks for forever "
Akaash just hugged her as tightly as he could. He was happy and scared at the same moment. Happy because she loved him and scared because what if he looses her just like he lost gaurav. Anjali wrapped her arms around him reassuring him that she wasn't going anywhere.
The light orange light in the background with the hills was a beautiful scene to be admired but Major Jagat Singh Rawat was looking at his daughter standing with akaash and smiling , laughing and now he hated the fact that he deprived his daughter of these smiles but know he was happy that atleast there was someone who cared for his daughter more than his life and he was now only going to provide her with smiles .
Akaash and Anjali stood there unaware of the eyes watching them. Anjali was happy and Akaash knew that he was now moving on...
