Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, falling in love with you was something I had no control over
Someone so wisely and beautifully has said these lines which can aptly be what can summarize the journey of a beautiful couple whose story has touched the very chords of our hearts ' and how could it not? When put together their names they are called 'SaJan' ' literally meaning ' Beloved, Sweetheart, and Love.
And it has so wonderfully been lived up to by name every step of the way ' when together they have taken us on a journey we would never forget nor get over, cause truly they have managed to do what none other could so far do ' managed to make us believe a love so beautiful could exist ' a love which not only delights the heart but nourishes the soul and yes that for a fact ' love can do the impossible ' called perhaps as a figment of imagination ' the term 'Soul Mates' ' it can turn it real too.
For what else could possibly have explained the falling in love of such contrasting individuals who on the surface seemed nothing alike the other yet in the end we found ' they are just meant to be ' cause whatever their souls are made of ' his & hers ' they are the same.
He was the most popular guy in college, she was the new outcaste everyone loved to rag, he too joined in ' but only on the surface ' for his heart was always in the right place, this wasn't exactly the greatest start for them yet they became friends.
He helped her overcome her fears when he saw what an amazing talent she hid, she rescued him right back when she saw the secrets he had hidden within himself by just being his friend.
Slowly their trust and bond grew, but only to be collided with the out coming of a harsh truth, a pain caused by his bitter lie ' a bet which was the reason for his becoming her friend and a stab she felt in her heart for having trusted him.
She who had been so quiet for so long blasted him for his fake ways and hypocrisies, he stood there as he quietly took in her words hearing what he had just heard, his blatant truth, told to him ' his hidden face was exposed ' and he realized ' she knew it ' she knew the real him ' all along ' he repented, regretted at having done those actions, yet she was far from convinced of his remorse and wouldn't even accept his heartfelt apology ' believing even it to be a lie.
He didn't let this take his spirits down, for he now had in his heart taken a vow ' to be her true friend ' and hence secretly ' he did just that ' followed the path of friendship ' helping her in each step of the way ' helping her overcome her obstacles and letting her achieve all her desires and goals.
Her heart felt it always ' that it is him ' who is behind all this yet her mind refused for her to let acknowledge this ' but how long could the truth be hidden ' and yes so it was out.
On the day when lovers rejoice their union ' two estranged souls ' celebrated their re-union ' and became friends.
Soon they were inseparable as with each other would they always be.
She then realized how he had now come to matter to her ' as her eyes cried ' shedding tears of profound joy and happiness ' as she knew ' why he meant so much to her now and that she was in 'Love' ' it was him ' her now 'Best Friend' ' as they called each other ' to whom she had lost her heart ' and yet felt a surge of victory ' of winning life' greatest accomplishment- 'Love'.
On a day meant to bring the fragrant smell of love in their lives ' her heart was pricked with thorns instead when the roses she had been waiting for to have from him didn't turn out to be 'Red'. It bled with pain instead of blooming with joy.
Her dreams were broken and they didn't even make a sound ' as he couldn't hear the silent sobs her eyes cried when they learned ' to him she was nothing more ' mere ' yet a special 'Friend'.
Later he was drawn to a new entrant ' she was everything he felt he wanted and was looking for ' and she was who exactly became instrumental in breaking them up yet be together ' this time forever yet again.
For his joy she gave up their friendship thinking if his happiness existed in that ' then I shall too smile and be happy ' as nothing meant more than the thought that he was happy and was all what I have asked for him.
Yet this was not how he would let it be, he fought for her day in and out ' as without her he just could not be.
Until the time came for his enlightening he never understood what she knew for so long ' that this is how it is ' that they are just meant to be ' for crossing the thin line that could not even be made out love had crossed through the boundaries in the territory of the zone they had called friendship.
And so the day came, he suffered a huge blow as a rival of his framed him for a crime he never committed ' he was arrested, he was alone and he was scared.
All else who once sang praises of him abandoned him ' only his true friends stood by ' yet it was only when she held his hand ' in his hour of need did he understand what having it just meant.
Slowly as he questioned his feelings he found a way thru ' of what he had called friendship for so long had turned into love for him before he even knew.
They were once again under the free skies and so she felt now I must confess ' for this is too much for me to hold on to ' to keep bottled up inside of me forever ' yet in a cruel move of fate she felt her heart was broken was again as his answer never came thru ' but how was he supposed to know of what she had said when he simply hadn't heard her.
So she left, thinking away from here and from him perhaps I would regain my peace of mind, keep my sanity intact while at it too, just as he was about to confess.
But no he didn't lose his hopes or his heart at her having gone. Instead in true gist of romance ' he followed her ' to let her know ' just that ' that he loved her too.
So on a night when the world is engulfed in darkness and hence lights are lit for it too perish , celebrating the age old tradition of the victory that good had over evil ' so did the doom hanging over the fates of these young lovers lost too.
They rejoiced, they confessed and they felt what they had never felt ' they felt complete ' they felt whole ' as in the arms of one another they felt they were home again.
Yet happiness wanted one more trial soon was joy to be over for again was the stage set for them to part ' but perhaps the fates too couldn't have it in their hearts again for them to be torn apart yet again and so they came thru ' and now were off to that same old place where they met as strangers, spent time as friends and became lovers.
Soon they were lost in each other and the world was to them filled with eternal bliss as they couldn't set eyes off each other and were engulfed in the sweet embrace of romance.
Ahh, but if only things could last like this forever, cause as in the ways of destiny the course of true love never did run smooth.
Life came a full circle again as they spent this year' valentine's ball however as a couple madly in love, but then... then came tragedy striking, waiting to just engulf them.
a bullet shot thru her & she was injured, lying in a pool of her own blood as she recalled her beloved, moments ago whose dreams filled her eyes, whose harsh words now had shattered her heart long ago b4 the bullet could get thru her as he refused to commit to her in what was the most sacred institution, d tears that she shed were of d pain that a wounded heart was bleeding with, not of d pain that had engulfed her being.
A night of love became a night of tragedy as doom struck them... yet upon hearing the call of his voice filled with all his love and fear ' she returned to him ' as he vowed without her even he would perish ' as there is no meaning to his existence if it was not for her.
But a price was still to be paid when she found thou back from the dead not only was a broken heart was all there for her to be nursed but also a numb feeling to address ' as in a cruel joke of irony as he heart pained ' her legs had lost all sense or feelings.
He took it upon himself to not let this be, he promised to himself and her that this is not how she shall continue to be.
So when all else failed... he did what he could best do... Offer her what he could now do the most ' as he laid down his life on the line for her to find that wish and desire in her again that would make her wanna walk and move those numb legs again.
And so she did... when all else failed and even she had succumbed to what she felt was now her fate... she moved, challenging her own strength as this was all she could do ' for if not now ' she would lose him ' her life which was now within him - he himself.
The ways of fate have not yet ended , the challenges it's presenting them have not yet been done with , as with each passing day it tries to find new trials to test their love and see if it can shake the foundation of this very love ' as time and again new trials are set to test them, yet whatever be the case, whatever be put forth and presented to them ' the only outcome of this is and shall always be the same ' their victory 'for if fate is getting determined enough to test them more and more with each passing day, so is their love becoming stronger with each passing minute to fight it and overcome any test it poses ' each passing moment
