It's just a small experiment that I intented to do, a one part FF. As I am not intended to start any new FF and get messing with the story as I had already messed up one of my FF, I thought of this one part FF. Story of two travellers, where their journey of life starts after their journey ends. I hope you'll like this experiment.

He was standing near the door of the train leaning to the wall of the train. His eyes were closed, the flashes that were coming at that time was making him more restless. He was leaving Mumbai forever and vowed to never come back again. The incidents that took place three days ago made him to leave that place. He felt the train slowly leaving the platform, smile crept slowly on his face. He thought everything would be over in a peaceful way, but he did not know that would be facing more and more difficulties. He was suddenly startled by the voice coming from the platform. He turns his head and sees a girl yelling at him. She was in red bridal lehenga, without any jewellery except for a nose ring, bangles and chain around her neck and her hair was neatly braided. She was trying to catch the train. "hey , can't you hear me, pull me up", he saw her yelling at him with an outstretched hand and catching a backpack in the other hand and was running along with train. He immediately clutches her outstretched hand and pulls her into the train. She hits his chest, they soo close to each other, he could feel the fragnance of her perfume strongly. Her beautiful eyes and her face made him stare at her for a long time. His hand was still clutched to her arm. She also could not take her eyes away from him, he was looking hot . His curly hair and his personality was making him to look more hot.
Slowly, she comes out of her senses, breaks away from him, "thanks", she utters softly and moves inside the train. He follows her. She comes to her berth which was the side seat of the compartment and turns around and finds him back of her. "are you following me?", she asked him a puzzled manner. "don't worry I'm not following you, and this my berth." He replies pointing his finger to the berth opposite to her. "I'm so sorry", "it's ok", he replies sitting in his place. She made herself comfortable and was seeing outside. Suddenly she turns and sees him staring at her weirdly, she feels uncomfortable and turns away her face from him, again looking out. "so your boyfriend ditched you by promising you to elope with you first and not turning up. You can't face your parents so you boarded this train without having any choice." She suddenly turns towards him with shocked expression on her face. "what do to you mean by that. You were right that I ran away from my marriage but my boyfriend did not ditch me, I ditched him." " you………….!", "yeah, it's me who had ditched. He was the bridegroom also from being my boyfriend." "so today you both were about to get married." But she did not reply, but was in the deep thoughts. He saw her in deep thoughts, so he keeps quiet. But he was not able to take his away from her, his was getting attracted towards her beauty. He turns away his head towards the window. She turns towards him, "so you are going for a business work, am I right." He simply nods his heads in acceptance.
In the next station she buys a packet of Lays, opens it and hands over to him. He sees her and then at at the packet and then at her palm which was covered with bridal mehendi. "so the guy's name is Varun", he asks her, she was shocked hearing him. "yeah, but how did you know", he simply signals with his eyes towards her palm, where Varun's name was written. "damnit!", she looks here and there and pulls pen from his shirt pocket and starts scratching on her palm across that name. She lifts her heads and finds him laughing. "why are laughing, I hate this guy, and I can't bear to see or hear his name", she yells at him. "ok, ok. I'm sorry." Controlling his laugh he continues, "by the by I'm Milind Mishra", "Oh, Milind Mishra, this Prachi Shah, nice to meet you". They outstretch their hands for a shake hand, suddenly the train stops with a jolt.
*************************************
The other train in the way had met with an accident, blocking the way for the other trains, their train was stopped in a small station somewhere near Rajasthan, the following morning. Milind was sitting on the bench with all the luggage beside him. He was staring at the crowd, who were fighting with the ticket collector. He turns his head towards the waiting room, where he sees Prachi coming out, adjusting her salwar. She had removed the nose ring and only jewellery was only a chain and bracelet which was loosely hanging on her hand. Before day he did not observe that bracelet on her hand, "maybe it was hiding under the bangles" he thought. He completely lost in thoughts staring at her. She made way her towards him and sits beside him. "by the way where are you heading towards." He turns his head towards her, a small smile crept on his face. "Delhi, what about you." "me tooo, so we can have a nice company till we reach there." She looks here and there seriously, she continues, "it's better we find other means of transport, it's not safe staying here till everything is cleared." "yeah,it's better, we'll leave the place", replies seeing the police at the other end of the platform. Prachi looks in the direction where he was seeing, and wondered why is was afraid of the police.
Slowly they both made their way out of station. They walked on the dusty roads of the village outskirts outside the station trying to get a lift till the village, where they can get some refreshments. They get onto the bullockcart, both sits on the edge, "so, what's your story", Milinds asks looking at Prachi, who was enoying the ride. Prachi smiles, "I thought he loved me", "who….!", a small frown appears on Milind's forhead. "Milind don't make me to repeat his name. listen quietly… but I was wrong, like others he loved my last name Shah and my property and nothing more." Wiping her tears, she continues, "I trusted him so much………..even my parents also trust him a lot, I know, they will definetly find fault on my side but never gets doubt on him." "why didn't you tell your parents about his true colours", Milind interrupting her in the middle. "how can I, I just got to know about him just the two days before the marriage. Actually I'm not afraid that he loves only my property, but he had broke my trust. For a real reason, he was having an affair with the other girl. I don't want that kind of person in my life. So I planned everything to run away from the marriage. but I'm the culprit there, I shouldn't have done like that. But I don't have any evidence against him to prove him. So I didn't find any choice about that." Milind saw her crying badly. He wipes her tears, "sorry. Actually I shouldn't………", "there's no need of that, actually I feel better after telling all this to you."he sees her still wiping her tears. He hands over the water bottle. She takes it, drink some of the water and washes her face with the remaining water. "feeling better", "yeah", Prachi replies retaining her smile on her face.
"I have lied to you……….", Prachi's expression slowly changed into puzzling expression. "actually police are back of me", "what", Prachi suddenly squealed loudly. Controlling herself, she becomes calm and tries to listen what he was saying. "I think you have heard about Fortune groups fraud case", this made Prachi think, that she never heard of this fraud anywhere. Milind continued, "I was caught as prime suspect, even though I'm not the suspect, but the destiny had played with me in this manner. It was my collegue Ranvir, who was the main culprit", "why didn't tell that your not the one but it is him", Milind glared at Prachi and laughed at her question. "this is not ramkatha or they are not kids to believe me without any evidence against him or me. For that only I'm going to Delhi to get the evidence from the main branch. Hope so everything goes well." Prachi was staring at him in a shock. The rest of the journey into the village was quiet.
***************************************
"Prachi are you gone crazy,let me sleep for sometime, these mosquitoes didn't allow me sleep peacefully during the night." He catches Prachi's hand, who was tickling his face with the dried grass. "patidev come on get up if not we will be in troubles", "yeah I think you have taken this so serious", "why do you think so", Prachi asks him in surprise. "look at your face and your attire, it's just like how a married women is", "shut up Milind, it's not my fault." It had been three days since they were in the village. Seeing them together the villagers mistook them for a married couple. Finding it was difficult for them to convince them, they had to continue in that way. "where did I got trapped", Milind was mumbling as he got up from the bed. He goes near the window and yawns. "today also the weather is same. So one more day we have to stay here." "no way I'm going to run way from here, I can't stay here for a second." Prachi heard a laugh from behind. "didn't you like this. Actually I'm joking, the weather is cleared and we are also clearing off from here now. For godsake, remove all this I can't bear seeing all this." "whose gonna put it all for a long time, I getting suffocated with all this." Milind comes forward , towards Prachi who was standing there irritatingly. Bends near her ear, "actually Ma'm you look beautiful in these" , he leaves there and Prachi stands there blushing. "see your face in the mirror, Milind", "what's wrong with my face",seeing his face in the mirror. "you look like Devdas. Why don't you try to look like gentleman. I think your looks made them feel that you are the culprit there." "I think your right",replies Milind still seeing his face in the mirror. He sees her going out. He falls on the bed, "damn god she so gorgeous", he murmurs under his breath. Come on Milind beta don't ever fall for her, first you should clear of the cases that is on your head, then start your carrier, till then plz be in control. He thought in his mind.
A few minutes later,Prachi was playing with the kids outside. She suddenly sees him standing at door. She stares at him. She was not able to take her eyes from him, she was get attracted to him gradually. She runs away into the house, goes into the room, closes the door and leans to it. What is happening to me. Milind is looking so hot like this. I'm falling for him. Does he accept me in this troubles or simply I'm imagining things or what. Control yourself Prachi. You are just out of that bad dream, how can you fall in so soon again. She thinks. She closes her eyes and tries to brushes out the things she kept thinking. She hears someone banging the door, she opens the door and finds Milind over there. She immediately turns her face away from him and goes near bag and pretends as if she was packing. "I had just enquired about the bus to Delhi, but we have to travel a lot. From here we have take a tractor or other means of transport like carriage driven by a camel. Reach the town nearby, from there take a bus to Jaipur. There we should o by bus to Delhi." He sees her busily packing her things. "did you hear me what I was telling you", "yeah", he was surprised to see her moody at that moment. Before a minute she enjoying with the kids in the open place. He didn't understand what had happen to her. "I think you don't want to leave this place. I think you are safe here from Varun and all." Milind says mockingly.
Hearing that name Prachi, glared at Milind's face angrily. Milind thought that he should not have mentioned that name. "I'm sorry", he was expecting some reply from Prachi. Instead he hears sobs from her. He goes near her, holds hs ears with his hand, "sorry Prachi, it's my fault. Now come on cheer up", he wipes her tears, sees Prachi retaining her smile, he rolls his eyes. Blushing Prachi hits him playfully on his chest.
**********************************
They enjoyed the ride to the town in the tractor. Getting down here and there, enjoying the village atmosphere and surroundings they finally reaches the nearby town. Near the bus stand, Milind was purchasing the tickets o Jaipur, Prachi was standing beside him, staring at him. Why can't I control myself when he his near me. Should I tell him or wait till he tells me. What if he doesn't have any feelings towards me. These things were still going in her mind. She gets backs to her senses hearing his snapping of his fingers. She smiles at him. He returns the smile. Both goes and sits in the bus, the bus starts immediately. As the seats were small making both fall on each other with the bumpings and steep turnings made them more uncomfortable regarding to the situation both were in.
Few minutes later, falls asleep, slowly balancing her on his shoulder. Milind tries to put her head on the window, thinking she could sleep more comfortably, but he feared this may disturb her sleep,so leaves her like that. He again takes a glance of her sleeping face, wind was making her hair falling on the hair, making her move slightly in her sleep. He slowly, without disturbing her closes the window. Again he sees her sleeping peacefully. He turns his head away from her, but again he takes glances at her, and stares at her sleeping face. What's happening to me should I ……….,no I should not. But I can't go away from her. Why is this like this. I tried to go away from her, but why I'm attracted to her, I don't want to leave her. I don't want her to face the problems that I'm facing at present. I should do something, that she can go away from him. His conscious mind was telling all this, "what should I do now", he thought. No, I can't do that. After sometime he too fell asleep, his head on her head and one of his hand around her waist.
It was almost in the evening both, woke at the same time. Seeing the position in which both are, breaks from that, with a small smile on their faces. By night they reach Jaipur. Prachi sits on the bench and Milind goes to the ticket counter for the tickets. "two for Delhi", "sorry Sir actually the buses for Delhi starts on tomorrow evening ,no buses today. Last bus had just left 15 minutes ago." An answer came from the other side of counter. He goes towards Prachi who was staring blankly at the surroundings. She sees him there and again goes staring. "we can't wait here till evening." He sits besides her. "where are we going then, we have less money now." "don't worry, we have enough money for one room. Are you hungry." He sees her tried face. "no I'm tried, and exhausted." "ok then lets go, I have booked the tickets for tomorrow evening bus." He shows her the tickets. They go and get into a three star hotel, take a single room in order to save the money for next day's expenses. They go into the room. Fully exhausted Prachi goes and takes bath, and when she is out, she sees him sleeping soundly occupying the bed completely. She goes near him, sits on the bed near him , stares at him for sometimes. She's lucky, but I'm not. Her mind was telling her. She breaks her stares and makes comfortable on the couch and sleeps.
Next day morning, Prachi got up early, and got ready before Milind woke up. She goes to him, who was sleeping soundly. She sits near him, bends close to him. Her lips were almost on to his lips. She goes towards his ear, "good morning Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind." Milind woke up with a jolt. "hey, what kind of a woman you are, why don't you allow me to sleep peacefully." He yells at her. "you can't sleep all the day like this, man. We need to get out of here as as soon as possible." He looked at her bewildered. "come on we have to do cost cuttings till we reach Delhi." "come on Prachi", rubbing his sleepy eyes he continues, "after paying this bill, we will be still left with Rs 1,500/-", "no with Rs 2000/- showing her Rs 500/- note to him. "no need we can manage with this amount, if you'll use that 500 also you won't be left with nothing." He gets and goes to the restroom to get freshed up. He comes out and sees Prachi seeing at something, sitting in front of his bag. "whose is this in this photo", she shows him the photos . "who asked you to touch my things, come on give to me now." "sorry Mr. if you want it come and take it", she moves from his bag. "hey I don't want to hurt you so be a good girl and give it back", "don't be a coward Milind, come take it all by yourself." Prachi runs all round the room and Milind back of her trying to catch her. When she was near the bed she slips and falls on the bed. Thinking he was lucky to catch her, he falls on the bed pinning her to the bed. Slowly she looses the grip of the things she was holding before, both were breathing heavily. He was very to close to her. He could feel the same fragnance of her as before. There lips were so close to each other, almost all brushing each others. Suddenly he gets from there, "sorry", he utters and takes away the photos that were beside her. She was still in that position, not understanding what happened to her. She comes backs to her senses, she gets up, adjusting her dress, "I think we should leave now", she goes near bag and starts packing. "chal, we'll then." He stands before her with his bag in his hand.
Once outside, they had a very light breakfast and decided to go around the city. They were doing window shopping, Prachi finds something fascinating. A peech colour lehanga, with heavy sequence and embroidery work, but seeing the rate she gets disappointed. Milind sees her, but she ignores him. He goes into the shop and comes out two shawls. "what is this all, where did you get all this money to buy them", but Milind ignored her. They reach the bus stop and boards the bus. After few minutes the bus starts, but this journey was a silent journey, neither of them talked nor cracked jokes.
They reached Delhi the next morning. Both of them looked at each other for a last time, both didn't want to go away from each other. The hugs each other thightly, Milind breaks of the hug, wipes his face with his hand, "prachi take care, bye", Prachi gives a sad smile and nods. She turns away from him and goes away ,taking his glances from time to time. He stood there and gazes her till she disappears from there. He turns away from the direction and was shocked to see them there.
**************************************
It was one year when these incidents happened, but he could not let out any of these from his mind. He didn't think that the charges against him came down so easily, he thought he was lucky. But something was missing I life, it was love. He did not meet her after they both got in Delhi. He sees the file that was laid on the desk. He turns facing the window, he now had eveyrhing. He owns a company, a big mansion. But he still finds something missig, something that could fill the emptiness. He hears the knock at the door. "come in", he orders. She comes in. He could feel the same fragnance that he felt long ago. "take your seat', he ordered before she could utter any word. She felt that the voice she heard was familiar, but she did not show any expression on her face. "actually, I saw your resume. It suits the job profile, so you are appointed. So you can join the company from tomorrow onwards", "thanks", saying she abouts to leave the room. 'why are you in such a hurry, are you not curious to see the person whose voice is so familiar to you, Prachi", Prachi stood there shocked. He turns towards her. In a shocked expression, "Milind it's you", she utters. "ya it's me, I was expecting you today, so I thought I would give you surprise." After some silence, "I need to talk to you Prachi, what about the coffee shop near India Gate." "yeah fine", "then 4'o clock in the evening", Prachi just nods her head and leaves the room.
That day evening, both were sitting opposite to each other, taking glances at each other, and fiddling with the coffee mugs. After a long silence, "lets have a walk Prachi", Prachi lifts her head and smiles at him. They walk some distance in silence. Prachi kept on walking Milind stops walking removes a pocket dairy and starts reading it aloud. "i think I love him, but I 'm not sure that he loves me. But he always comments that I'm beautiful. Is that any signal he is giving to me that he loves me. I'll wait for him till he confesses his love to me." Prachi stops walking, but doesn't turn back, she keeps staring the ground. "I think your waiting is over Prachi", hearing his voice she turns back and stares at him, he was moving slowly towards her. She steals her glances from him. "no need of stealing the glances now Prachi, I was in love with and still love you Prachi. Don't think I will be same as the one who made you to run away from the house. Everyone are not the same. I only loved you Prachi, only you." Prachi runs towards him and hugs him thightly, he also embraces her. "don't cry Prachi, everything will be fine", he assured her. They break the hug, "where are you living now", "at my friend's place", replies wiping her tears. "call your friend and ask to pack you things and keep it ready", Prachi sees him surprised. "I don't want my would-be-wife to stay with her friend, I want her to move and stay with me in my house forever and ever. Prachi was even more surprised and smiles shlyly.
Three days later, Prachi just got of the restroom, wiping her wet hair. She was happy, she was going to marry the man who she truly in every sense loved and also he had loved her, only her . She sees at the lehenga and gets surprised, it was the same lehenga she saw when they were in Jaipur. "did you like it", a voice from behind, startled her. "but…….Mi…….", "I know you liked it, and don't ask any questions, if you like anything, remember don't hesitate to ask your Mr.husband , he'll get it for you at any cost." He interrupts her and hugs her from behind and starts kissing her on her face. "ok, for doing this you have to wait for few hours Mr. would-be-husband", she tries to break free from his hug. "few hours?, hmmm, then it's ok, I waited for you for one long year, it's not difficult for me", he kisses on her cheek and removes his hands from her. "hey get ready we are getting late, I can't wait anymore dear", he walks till the door, but again comes towards her and kisses on her head, smiles at her and leaves her blushing.
They are at the temple, they enter the temple, both are in bridal attire. Prachi looks up and gets shocked to see her parents there. She goes to them, hugs them and cries. She then wipes her tears and turns towards Milind who already made his way near her. "thanks papa and mom for forgiving me and coming for my wedding." "at first tell thanks to Milind", she was puzzled at her father. "he was the one who called us and narrated everthing. So my little daughter's wedding is finally taking place." Prachi nods her head by smiling and blushing.

They stop the middle of the stairs, which acts like the dias for the particular situation. Slowly the lights all comes up. "in this happy moment I want to present my daughter and my son-in-law with a surprise gift for there successful married life and hope to be the same forever" he just sees at his daughter's and son-in-law's face. He goes near the wall and pulls a string which opens a huge wall picture of a family photo. Both of them looked at the picture in surprise, they take glances at each other and then at the photo. It was their family photo with both of them carrying the twins one boy Adwait and a girl Aditi, a complete family photo.
Sorry for the MISTAKES . Plz do comment.

"where did I got trapped", Milind was mumbling as he got up from the bed. He goes near the window and yawns. "today also the weather is same. So one more day we have to stay here." "no way I'm going to run way from here, I can't stay here for a second." Prachi heard a laugh from behind. "didn't you like this. Actually I'm joking, the weather is cleared and we are also clearing off from here now. For godsake, remove all this I can't bear seeing all this." "whose gonna put it all for a long time, I getting suffocated with all this." Milind comes forward , towards Prachi who was standing there irritatingly. Bends near her ear, "actually Ma'm you look beautiful in these" , he leaves there and Prachi stands there blushing. "see your face in the mirror, Milind", "what's wrong with my face",seeing his face in the mirror. "you look like Devdas. Why don't you try to look like gentleman. I think your looks made them feel that you are the culprit there." "I think your right",replies Milind still seeing his face in the mirror. He sees her going out. He falls on the bed, "damn god she so gorgeous", he murmurs under his breath. Come on Milind beta don't ever fall for her, first you should clear of the cases that is on your head, then start your carrier, till then plz be in control. He thought in his mind.
A few minutes later,Prachi was playing with the kids outside. She suddenly sees him standing at door. She stares at him. She was not able to take her eyes from him, she was get attracted to him gradually. She runs away into the house, goes into the room, closes the door and leans to it. What is happening to me. Milind is looking so hot like this. I'm falling for him. Does he accept me in this troubles or simply I'm imagining things or what. Control yourself Prachi. You are just out of that bad dream, how can you fall in so soon again. She thinks. She closes her eyes and tries to brushes out the things she kept thinking. She hears someone banging the door, she opens the door and finds Milind over there. She immediately turns her face away from him and goes near bag and pretends as if she was packing. "I had just enquired about the bus to Delhi, but we have to travel a lot. From here we have take a tractor or other means of transport like carriage driven by a camel. Reach the town nearby, from there take a bus to Jaipur. There we should o by bus to Delhi." He sees her busily packing her things. "did you hear me what I was telling you", "yeah", he was surprised to see her moody at that moment. Before a minute she enjoying with the kids in the open place. He didn't understand what had happen to her. "I think you don't want to leave this place. I think you are safe here from Varun and all." Milind says mockingly.
Hearing that name Prachi, glared at Milind's face angrily. Milind thought that he should not have mentioned that name. "I'm sorry", he was expecting some reply from Prachi. Instead he hears sobs from her. He goes near her, holds hs ears with his hand, "sorry Prachi, it's my fault. Now come on cheer up", he wipes her tears, sees Prachi retaining her smile, he rolls his eyes. Blushing Prachi hits him playfully on his chest.
**********************************
They enjoyed the ride to the town in the tractor. Getting down here and there, enjoying the village atmosphere and surroundings they finally reaches the nearby town. Near the bus stand, Milind was purchasing the tickets o Jaipur, Prachi was standing beside him, staring at him. Why can't I control myself when he his near me. Should I tell him or wait till he tells me. What if he doesn't have any feelings towards me. These things were still going in her mind. She gets backs to her senses hearing his snapping of his fingers. She smiles at him. He returns the smile. Both goes and sits in the bus, the bus starts immediately. As the seats were small making both fall on each other with the bumpings and steep turnings made them more uncomfortable regarding to the situation both were in.
Few minutes later, falls asleep, slowly balancing her on his shoulder. Milind tries to put her head on the window, thinking she could sleep more comfortably, but he feared this may disturb her sleep,so leaves her like that. He again takes a glance of her sleeping face, wind was making her hair falling on the hair, making her move slightly in her sleep. He slowly, without disturbing her closes the window. Again he sees her sleeping peacefully. He turns his head away from her, but again he takes glances at her, and stares at her sleeping face. What's happening to me should I ……….,no I should not. But I can't go away from her. Why is this like this. I tried to go away from her, but why I'm attracted to her, I don't want to leave her. I don't want her to face the problems that I'm facing at present. I should do something, that she can go away from him. His conscious mind was telling all this, "what should I do now", he thought. No, I can't do that. After sometime he too fell asleep, his head on her head and one of his hand around her waist.
It was almost in the evening both, woke at the same time. Seeing the position in which both are, breaks from that, with a small smile on their faces. By night they reach Jaipur. Prachi sits on the bench and Milind goes to the ticket counter for the tickets. "two for Delhi", "sorry Sir actually the buses for Delhi starts on tomorrow evening ,no buses today. Last bus had just left 15 minutes ago." An answer came from the other side of counter. He goes towards Prachi who was staring blankly at the surroundings. She sees him there and again goes staring. "we can't wait here till evening." He sits besides her. "where are we going then, we have less money now." "don't worry, we have enough money for one room. Are you hungry." He sees her tried face. "no I'm tried, and exhausted." "ok then lets go, I have booked the tickets for tomorrow evening bus." He shows her the tickets. They go and get into a three star hotel, take a single room in order to save the money for next day's expenses. They go into the room. Fully exhausted Prachi goes and takes bath, and when she is out, she sees him sleeping soundly occupying the bed completely. She goes near him, sits on the bed near him , stares at him for sometimes. She's lucky, but I'm not. Her mind was telling her. She breaks her stares and makes comfortable on the couch and sleeps.
Next day morning, Prachi got up early, and got ready before Milind woke up. She goes to him, who was sleeping soundly. She sits near him, bends close to him. Her lips were almost on to his lips. She goes towards his ear, "good morning Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind." Milind woke up with a jolt. "hey, what kind of a woman you are, why don't you allow me to sleep peacefully." He yells at her. "you can't sleep all the day like this, man. We need to get out of here as as soon as possible." He looked at her bewildered. "come on we have to do cost cuttings till we reach Delhi." "come on Prachi", rubbing his sleepy eyes he continues, "after paying this bill, we will be still left with Rs 1,500/-", "no with Rs 2000/- showing her Rs 500/- note to him. "no need we can manage with this amount, if you'll use that 500 also you won't be left with nothing." He gets and goes to the restroom to get freshed up. He comes out and sees Prachi seeing at something, sitting in front of his bag. "whose is this in this photo", she shows him the photos . "who asked you to touch my things, come on give to me now." "sorry Mr. if you want it come and take it", she moves from his bag. "hey I don't want to hurt you so be a good girl and give it back", "don't be a coward Milind, come take it all by yourself." Prachi runs all round the room and Milind back of her trying to catch her. When she was near the bed she slips and falls on the bed. Thinking he was lucky to catch her, he falls on the bed pinning her to the bed. Slowly she looses the grip of the things she was holding before, both were breathing heavily. He was very to close to her. He could feel the same fragnance of her as before. There lips were so close to each other, almost all brushing each others. Suddenly he gets from there, "sorry", he utters and takes away the photos that were beside her. She was still in that position, not understanding what happened to her. She comes backs to her senses, she gets up, adjusting her dress, "I think we should leave now", she goes near bag and starts packing. "chal, we'll then." He stands before her with his bag in his hand.
Once outside, they had a very light breakfast and decided to go around the city. They were doing window shopping, Prachi finds something fascinating. A peech colour lehanga, with heavy sequence and embroidery work, but seeing the rate she gets disappointed. Milind sees her, but she ignores him. He goes into the shop and comes out two shawls. "what is this all, where did you get all this money to buy them", but Milind ignored her. They reach the bus stop and boards the bus. After few minutes the bus starts, but this journey was a silent journey, neither of them talked nor cracked jokes.
They reached Delhi the next morning. Both of them looked at each other for a last time, both didn't want to go away from each other. The hugs each other thightly, Milind breaks of the hug, wipes his face with his hand, "prachi take care, bye", Prachi gives a sad smile and nods. She turns away from him and goes away ,taking his glances from time to time. He stood there and gazes her till she disappears from there. He turns away from the direction and was shocked to see them there.
**************************************
It was one year when these incidents happened, but he could not let out any of these from his mind. He didn't think that the charges against him came down so easily, he thought he was lucky. But something was missing I life, it was love. He did not meet her after they both got in Delhi. He sees the file that was laid on the desk. He turns facing the window, he now had eveyrhing. He owns a company, a big mansion. But he still finds something missig, something that could fill the emptiness. He hears the knock at the door. "come in", he orders. She comes in. He could feel the same fragnance that he felt long ago. "take your seat', he ordered before she could utter any word. She felt that the voice she heard was familiar, but she did not show any expression on her face. "actually, I saw your resume. It suits the job profile, so you are appointed. So you can join the company from tomorrow onwards", "thanks", saying she abouts to leave the room. 'why are you in such a hurry, are you not curious to see the person whose voice is so familiar to you, Prachi", Prachi stood there shocked. He turns towards her. In a shocked expression, "Milind it's you", she utters. "ya it's me, I was expecting you today, so I thought I would give you surprise." After some silence, "I need to talk to you Prachi, what about the coffee shop near India Gate." "yeah fine", "then 4'o clock in the evening", Prachi just nods her head and leaves the room.
That day evening, both were sitting opposite to each other, taking glances at each other, and fiddling with the coffee mugs. After a long silence, "lets have a walk Prachi", Prachi lifts her head and smiles at him. They walk some distance in silence. Prachi kept on walking Milind stops walking removes a pocket dairy and starts reading it aloud. "i think I love him, but I 'm not sure that he loves me. But he always comments that I'm beautiful. Is that any signal he is giving to me that he loves me. I'll wait for him till he confesses his love to me." Prachi stops walking, but doesn't turn back, she keeps staring the ground. "I think your waiting is over Prachi", hearing his voice she turns back and stares at him, he was moving slowly towards her. She steals her glances from him. "no need of stealing the glances now Prachi, I was in love with and still love you Prachi. Don't think I will be same as the one who made you to run away from the house. Everyone are not the same. I only loved you Prachi, only you." Prachi runs towards him and hugs him thightly, he also embraces her. "don't cry Prachi, everything will be fine", he assured her. They break the hug, "where are you living now", "at my friend's place", replies wiping her tears. "call your friend and ask to pack you things and keep it ready", Prachi sees him surprised. "I don't want my would-be-wife to stay with her friend, I want her to move and stay with me in my house forever and ever. Prachi was even more surprised and smiles shlyly.
Three days later, Prachi just got of the restroom, wiping her wet hair. She was happy, she was going to marry the man who she truly in every sense loved and also he had loved her, only her . She sees at the lehenga and gets surprised, it was the same lehenga she saw when they were in Jaipur. "did you like it", a voice from behind, startled her. "but…….Mi…….", "I know you liked it, and don't ask any questions, if you like anything, remember don't hesitate to ask your Mr.husband , he'll get it for you at any cost." He interrupts her and hugs her from behind and starts kissing her on her face. "ok, for doing this you have to wait for few hours Mr. would-be-husband", she tries to break free from his hug. "few hours?, hmmm, then it's ok, I waited for you for one long year, it's not difficult for me", he kisses on her cheek and removes his hands from her. "hey get ready we are getting late, I can't wait anymore dear", he walks till the door, but again comes towards her and kisses on her head, smiles at her and leaves her blushing.
They are at the temple, they enter the temple, both are in bridal attire. Prachi looks up and gets shocked to see her parents there. She goes to them, hugs them and cries. She then wipes her tears and turns towards Milind who already made his way near her. "thanks papa and mom for forgiving me and coming for my wedding." "at first tell thanks to Milind", she was puzzled at her father. "he was the one who called us and narrated everthing. So my little daughter's wedding is finally taking place." Prachi nods her head by smiling and blushing.
