Very soon, they became each other's personal diary and it became a habit for them to fill in each other on the day's activities. This went on for years.
They were sixteen now.

hey buddu,

************************************************************************

hey ullu,

I know it very well! And I am NOT interested in any girl other than you. And don't send me a 'whaaat?!' as reply! I know, you have known this like forever!

***********************************************************************

hey buddu,

************************************************************************

************************************************************************

hey buddu,

I hate you! I seriously dont know how to react when you say such things!

************************************************************************

hey ullu,

kay now, tell me when are you planning to show me your face?

************************************************************************

hey buddu,

not now...wait till the right time. You wont send your picture but you want me to send! not at all fair.

************************************************************************

hey ullu,

I would have sent it even before you asked, if you had not told me that you would recognise my eyes even if I was 90 years old!

************************************************************************

hey buddu,

I still stick to my words! I can recognise ur eyes anywhere, and I still remember the first time I saw you...your eyes...there was something in it...I just cannot explain...

************************************************************************

hey ullu,

I still remember that day too, I hated being at home, that place behind ur home looked like heaven to me...and the sweet little girl who came to me with anger and soon allowed me to stay there...its like I have the picture of the moment...I dont even remember how your room looked like but I remember the sweet girl...well even though the sweet little girl is not so sweet anymore :P

************************************************************************

hey buddu,

the sweet little girl is still sweet but not little anymore :)

************************************************************************

hey ullu,

hmm...I caanot believe that I never thought of it! I still have that mental image of the small girl as you.Have you grown or still that puny girl?! your hair must be long...then your eyes, hope they are not bigger,lol they always looked like they used to pop out when you were scared,do you still pout for everything? you used to look so funny haha!

************************************************************************
hey buddu,

you are describing me to me?! stupid! jerk! I hate you!

************************************************************************

hey ullu,

seriously?! 'me to me'?? and I am a jerk??? Its not like I am describing my girlfriend to a third person,is it? its easier to describe your girl friend to your best friend! even more easier when both happen to be the same!

************************************************************************

hey buddu,

its such a bad way to describe your gf, i'm sure she'll kick you out before you even complete your sentence.

************************************************************************

*************************************************************

one year later.
_______________________________________________



mom: Arohi beta there is a call for you.

The seventeen year old Arohi with hair flowing down her back came down running, her big brown eyes tired because of her long sleepless nights. How could she sleep?? In the past six years there was never a day he has missed mailing her. But there was no message from him for a more than a week now and her sleep seemed to have no mercy on her either, it had been more than a week since she had slept.

who could it be she wondered as she picked the receiver up.

Arohi: hello.. she said in a week voice... she could hear fight announcements in the background and uneven breathing.

'arjun...' her voice, a whisper now.

'I love you arohi...'his gruff voice came as a whisper too,

'I love you too arjun..', tears sliding down her cheeks.

'dont cry aru...i'll explain everything tonight...you should sleep now, i'm sorry I took this long to contact you...'

'shh arjun it's okay...you are alright, thats enough for me...i'l wait for you...' she smiled through her tears.

Arohi kissed into the phone,'i love you bye..'.

Arjun's father had been arrested for being involved in illegal business. From news Arohi had come to know that Rudra had been doing this for more than 20 years, and everyone in his family was arrested, even his 17 yrs old son and 23 yrs old daughter. Through investigation its found that the daughter had moved out three years ago and since then she had been working and completing her master's. And the son was still a school kid, who did not have any idea about his parents business, though the court had suggested that he be moved into Children's prison, his sister had argued that he had no part in the crime and also he had said that he was planning to move into with his sister as soon as he was 18.The Judge, who was known for his strict and truthful judgments, had himself allowed Arjun to be released and be sent under his sister's custody till he was 18. Though the photographs of the children were not released for security reasons, Arohi knew it was her Arjun, who had gone through this. She could not wait to talk to him, tonight.

As Rashi waited with the luggage, she saw her brother come out of the phone booth, smiling after days, she had not seen him for the past three years, they had always talked on phone but still, three years later she meets him at the jail, being beaten black and blue by the police men, she had to literally beg them to show mercy on him. Her parents were busy calling one minister or another to get themselves released,but the only good thing they did was making some minister not let Arjun and her photograph's out.And the judge had somehow seen the truth in her and Arjun. Thank god, their future was saved. But only if they can come out of this nightmare and still have the courage to face the future. she felt as if she and arjun had lost all the energy to even cry and it was like the tears themselves have dried up inside.

Arjun was scared, hurt and upset. He had lost everything in a week but there was nothing dear to him that he had lost, except that he was scared that his Arohi might have misunderstood him just like others. But after talking to her now, he felt a heavy burden being lifted off his shoulders.

That night as he went online, he saw her previous messages asking him if he was fine. He opened the one she had sent this evening and the time suggested that it was after his short phone call. He opened it to find a jpeg attachment, HER PHOTO. he was literally jumping after seeing it, forgetting the pain he went through the previous week. Rashi was surprised to see her brother kissing the monior and jumping around, his excitement was contagious, she thought as she felt herself smiling widely.

'whats it arjun?' rashi asked, curiously.

'di! arohi has sent me her picture, finally! oh god I love her so much!' he said hugging her. it did not take seconds for her to put pieces together to realise that they had been in contact throughout the years! Her small gesture for their friendship had brought them to a level she had not imagined. she was astonished at how this one girl could make her reserved silent brother jump in excitement and could make him forget all the pain in a second! She did not have any doubts now on to whom the Airport call was!

'wont you show me the picture of your love' she asked fondly.

'oh yea di... let me open it.' he said.

'wait! you did not even open it yet?.'

he smiled sheepishly, 'no di,i just got excited at seeing the attachment, I was scared that she would leave me after all the things that happened but she did not and plus she has gifted me something that I have wanted for so long, her picture'

'you mean you have not even seen her picture in years'

'I still have the picture of her when we left chandigarh in my mind di and i'm sure its the same with her'

the intensity of the love brought tears to her eyes,she was really happy for him, after all these years that he was deprived of love, he has finally found it, that too the one with intensity no one could imagine, true love.

that night he mailed her.
