Happy reading😛😛
It was a rainy night.Anika was setting in a nearby cafe waiting for her best friend,Shivaay.They just passed their university with flying colours and as usual both Shivaay and Anika wanted to celebrate the happiness with a cup of coffee in their favourite cafeteria.The rain outside brought back so many fond memories.How she and Shivaay once played all night in rain and kept on sneezing the next day.How they shared their first hug in the rain when she was on the verge of crying for ruining his favourite white shirt by spilling coffee on it.How he promised he would never be angry at her despite being short tempered and how...before she could think about other memories she saw a wet Shivaay entering the cafe profusely apologizing for being late yet again.At first she would get angry at him but now she doesn't mind as she knows why he keeps getting late.
Shivaay weeping the water of his face and slightly nudging his wet hair,took the seat across Anika.She smiled in return.The waiter brought their usual order,Shivaay's favourite Espresso.Even though Anika didn't like the taste of it at first,but now she loves it for it was her best friend's favourite coffee.Her eyes caught something familiar.Shaking her head slightly, she smiled at the fact how her best friend never forgets to bring her favourite flower,a pink rose.No matter what Shivaay always manages to bring a pink rose for her from where he never tells her and gets late in the process.
"A rose for a Rose"Shivaay said,handing the flower to her.
"How clinched it is Shivaay"she laughed at him.That was how their conversation would start always no hi,hello what-so-ever.
"Cheers to our graduation"Shivaay said, holding up the cup of Espresso.
"Cheers"Anika said,slightly knocking her cup with his.
"So what's the plan now?What are you going to do now that you are a graduate with great grades"asked a joyous Shivaay taking a sip of Espresso.
"First tell about yours then I'll tell about my"said Anika directly looking at his icy blue eyes.
Shivaay would always get nervous whenever she would look at his eyes with her amber brown eyes.Getting his nervousness under control he replied"I'll join my family business as you already know I'm the only child of my parents. Now your turn"
"Well, I got selected in a big,reputed company as a trainee to pursue my career in architecture" said Anika excitedly.
"Wow, that's really awesome Ani.I'm so very happy for you.I know you will rock it and will make me and our families proud."Shivaay said while placing his one hand on hers.
Shivaay and Anika were childhood friends and so they knew each other's families as well.Shivaay was happy that their families would not have any objections when they would tell them he and Anika want to get married.Thinking it was the right time to ask her out for marriage as both of them are now settled in their respective lives,he would join his family business and she would pursue her dream,he began,
"Ani there is something I always wanted to tell you but was afraid to tell.But now that we both are somewhat settled in our lives I think I should tell you.I..." Shivaay was about to propose her when his eyes caught an aeroplane ticket in between her book,that she accompanied by her.
"What is this?"he asked,pulling the ticket from the book still holding her left hand with his right one.
"You are going to UK that too next week?! But why?And you didn't tell me about it?"asked Shivaay in a confused state.He was not understanding a thing about this sudden change of event.
"I just told you about it, Shiv!And you were happy and proud at the sometime"answered a boggled Anika not understanding why he was behaving like this all of a sudden.
Shivaay pulled out his hand from Anika's realizing she was referring to this when she said her dream came true.How could he forget she always wanted to settle in abroad.His eyes welling up thinking soon she would leave him.
Anika understood his condition and so tried to reason with him "Look Shiv,I know it came as a shock to you,but then even I was equally shocked when they asked me to join by next two weeks.So I thought I'll tell you about this when we would meet here and I know you know how much I want to go to UK in fact more than that how much I love to pursue my career right?But if you want me to not go I won't"Shivaay was looking down all this while fearing she would see his tears.But when she said the last few words he looked up at her.He knew whatever she said were genuine.She would leave her dream if he asks her to,without a second thought but then again,he also knew how much hard work she went through to achieve what she got now.
"You are my best friend Ani.I would never become a hurdle between you and your dreams."said Shivaay hoping his voice would not crack up inbetween.
"I knew it Shiv,I knew it you would always be by my side,"said Anika hugging Shivaay."aww I love you Shiv.you are the best."If only she knew he loves her more than a friend.
"Besides, it is only a matter of two years.After two years I'll be back and probably join you company if your offer me a good sum for it"Anika said jokingly taking another sip from her coffee.
"You won't forget me in those two years,will you?Shivaay asked being insured and afraid.
"Bhula uneh jata hai jo dur ho aur tum toh meri sasohme bashe ho" Anika said bursting into a laughter.
"Ok, I know it was clinched, but tumhare sangat ka asar hai"she said winking at him before continuing"Don't worry Shiv we'll Skype every night after my work and we'll text each other in between work."Shivaay kept on staring at her beautiful face thinking he had only a few days left to stare at this face.
"But Shiv there is a problem."Anika spoke dragging Shiv outside the cafe in the rain,"my dad won't say yes to this and I know only you can make him agree.So please Shiv help na,please."Anika said literally begging.
"Ok, ok chill,I'll talk to uncle"said a heartbroken Shivaay for yet again, he could not tell her about his feelings.
"yay,I love you Shiv"said a jumping Anika with joy and took him into a hug.
"I love you too."Shivaay said, returning the hug with passion;unknown to Anika what his I love you stands for.
