Her Birthday
I stepped down the plane once again stepping my feet in the lands of Mumbai. 1 year back I came here with a hope to complete my family. And it did complete but not totally. With granddad I wished even he was a part of my family. But only if he could understand my love was pure. Not a mean to get my grand dad. Years back grand dad misjudged now him. Maybe love never comes for free.
At least in mumma papa case they trusted each other but here easily misjudged me. I was hurt when he questioned on my love. I was hurt when he said I used him. I was hurt when he said he doesn't loves me any more. Love is a once in a life time feeling. Which lasts forever. If you say you love me today and then deny it tomorrow doesn't prove your love to me either. Saying you don't love me know means you never loved me. You just were attracted. And that's the only reason I left.
I left with a promise that I won't ever come back. I left with a promise that I won't ever place my step back in Mumbai. But destiny had some other plans. A promise I made to myself to never see your face again will be broken. Because this time it is grand dad who called me its mummaa's birthday today. And perhaps the first birthday which her whole family will celebrate together. Me papa grand dad anirudh sir and him.
The only reason of my return. Mumma or maybe...
A year without him wasn't any easy every time I found someone strict I remembered him. Every time I saw security I remembered him. Every time I saw couples hanging around I remembered him. I remembered him every single moment. I remembered my helicopter. My Neil Gujral.
Maybe love isn't always eternity. Maybe love isn't always togetherness. Maybe we weren't meant to be. Maybe or may not be.
"Annie lets go" papa beamed a contended smile at me. I knew the reason. After 24 years he was going to meet grand dad. Dad lost his parents way before I was born leaving him all alone to struggle but in past one year be it on a single cell phone but they grew to be more than in laws. Grand dad became dad real father. And I found my whole family in him.
A happy family what mummaa and I always wished since childhood. But if only I could be happy. Love always ends up hurting someone or the other years back it was grand dad now its us. Me and my Neil. Only if he is still mine. God knows if he has moved on. God knows if Neil has some one more special then his Miss sorry. God knows.
Dragging my lugguage inside the grand hotel Gulmohar Grand I was welcomed my a tight hug by my two besties Tina and Teeshay who perhaps were now together. God I really missed them and the fun in staff canteen.
"Annie" they exclaimed in excitement. Dad and staff smiled seeing us while I just hugged them tightly letting them know how much I missed them. But even in that hug I missed him. How I wish it was he who would hug me like that.
The way he did when we were together. That always felt complete. And I missed that the most.
A soft smile appeared on my face as I found him peeping at me from a distance. So he was here. Even after knowing about my arrival he had come. Seeing him again I felt my body response in delight. He had an effect on me. He still made me feel the same.
"Hi Neil" I whispered softly while walking in the long corridors with him. Breaking the awkward silence
"Hi" he kept low. But somewhere I needed an answer. I needed him back.
"I love you" I shot seeing him directly in his eyes. He looked surprised surely he didn't expect a direct confession. He knew I would come to this point. But without a fight, without a question directly I love you was something he never expected. I smiled at his reaction. I expected it.
"Annie please" he said looking away ignoring the question.
"Neil enough ok you can't run away more. You said I used you but if that was the case then you think I would have still been waiting for you. Neil love isn't something to let it go. I love you with eternal purity believe it or not" I said everything in one go. Finally clearing my part.
"Hummm..."he whispered
"Neil I need an answer ok? You can't run away" I warned
"What do you want to listen? I love you ok fine I do so what it's the case of your parents your family won't ever agree" he retorted
"They already know" I whispered with a smile making him look at me stunned.
"So are we together" I asked seeing him looking at me. Which he just responded with a smile. This is an yes in my helicopter way. Finally my helicopter is mine.
"i love you too" he whispered finally. After seeing me smile. Finally mummaa your family is complete.
With your dad your love your daughter and My Neil.
Happy birthday Mumma.
