----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now she understood what exactly he meant by the 'trail'. The path had been completely covered with rose petals. A trail of roses!

It was a beautiful sight. For a minute she just stood there, taking it all in. The time, the patience, the hard work, the money he must've put into doing this!

She started to climb down the steps when she saw another gift box placed at the end of the last step.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gift box was covered in blue wrapping paper and tied with white ribbons. Again, there was a single red rose placed on top. Neha sat on the second last step, and taking the gift box she untied the ribbon and opened the lid. Inside was another letter, another leaf and a card.

Neha took out the card first. It was a beautiful handmade card.

Neha had made this card for Vicky, many years back, for friendship day. They were 14 then. Back then when she had given it to him he had just grinned, said thanks, stuffed the card in his pocket and ran off to play football with Nilesh. She had thought it was lost by now. She couldn't believe Vicky had kept this card for so long and in such good state!

She took out the leaf. He had used one of her favorite songs to explain his heart's tale.

'Aate jaate, haste gaate
Socha tha maine mann mein kai baar
Vo pehli nazar, halka sa asar
Karta hai kyon iss dil ko bekaraar
Ruk ke chalna, chalke rukna
Na jaane tumhein hai kiska intezaar
Tera vo yakeen... kahin main to nahin
Lagta hai yahi kyun mujhko baar baar
Yehi sach hai, shaayad, maine pyaar kiya
Haan haan, tumse maine pyaar kiya'

Neha stared at the words in astonishment. What did he mean? Had he really been in love with her all those years?

She couldn't have known. As they grew up, while Vicky and Nilesh remained the best of friends, he and Neha had drifted apart.

It dint help that soon both the families shifted to bigger, better flats and they were no longer neighbors. They only met at school and even then they dint speak much.

From being one of his best friends, Neha had become just his best friend's sister to him. Or so Neha had thought.

Sure, their friends always teased them about their 'bachpan ka pyaar' but she had thought that it was true only in her case and that her friends were just assuming things.

She read the letter.

'I know the question that's in your mind right now. You want to know ever since when had I been in love with you. Well, my answer is that I don't remember a time when I wasn't in love with you.

I know it might be hard for you to believe that because I acted like such a jerk. I'm really, really sorry for that.

Oh and it's not the only card I saved. I have every card you ever gave me.

Love, Vicky.'

Neha's eyes welled up with tears but she blinked them back.

Maybe he was exaggerating, perhaps trying to make up for all those years... but she dint mind.

I acted like such a jerk.

Things had gotten worse when they started their pre-university college. Nilesh and Vicky were among the dancing stars in the college. They had good style, attitude, talent and they were rich. Though the same could be said for Neha, she was shy and no one gave her the encouragement she needed. Besides she had decided to focus on her studies.

So while Nilesh and Vicky were popular at college, Neha was almost invisible. Neha and Nilesh mostly ignored each other, but when they did talk it almost always led to a fight. And Vicky was always with Nilesh. 'Miss reverse english', 'verbal diarrhea'- this was how he referred to her back then. It hurt her.

But that was then. He'd been stupid and arrogant. Now... well, now he had got this whole place decorated and arranged this surprise for her.

Neha put everything back inside the box along with the rose and went inside and kept the gift box on the bed.

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

Bharat and Vishaka were on the terrace and they could see Neha clearly. While Neha was opening the gift box, Bharat asked Vishaka if she knew what was written inside.

Vishaka shook her head and said 'Nahin pata Bharat, kuch personal hoga na!'

'Accha baaki sab toh samaj mein aata hai, par ye Vicky ne yeh sab record karne ke liye kyun bola hai?'

Amar was hiding behind one of the trees with a video camera. He was recording everything- Neha's surprise on seeing the decorations, Neha opening the gift et cetera. He would have to keep recording until she reached the pool area. At the pool area Kriya was waiting with another camera.

Bharat and Vishaka had an important task too. Another surprise for Neha.

'Accha hai na sab record kar rahe hai! I mean look at all these decorations man! Future mein we can see the video again and enjoy. And imagine Neha ke liye kitna special hoga yeh video! But you know Vicky kya bol raha tha, he said ke usse yeh video apne future generations ko dikhaana hai. And he said that woh dress bhi isi liye laaya hai, so that Neha doesn't complain later. Dono ki perfect jodi hai!' They both started laughing.

After some time they saw Neha go back inside but she came out soon.

'Ready.' Vishaka grinned at Bharat.

Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam

Pyaar hota hai diwaana sanam...

Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam...

Speakers were hung on trees and Bharat and Vishaka had switched on the music exactly with Neha's first step.

Startled, Neha looked around and Bharat and Vishaka ducked out of sight.

Neha hadn't spotted the speakers at first but now she did and with a big smile on her face she began to move forward. Vicky had thought of everything!

Neha walked slowly, looking at the trees and the lights, enjoying the view and the song. It was all so special- all for her!

Once she thought she heard someone behind the trees, but she didn't bother to look. She knew it must be one of her friends.

It was a straight path for some time but then it curved towards the left. After that she had to walk straight and at the end of the path were stairs leading into the pool area.

Tied to the railing were a bunch of red and white balloons and directly below the balloons on the bottom most step was another gift box.

As she took the gift box, the music stopped. This one was wrapped in pink.

She untied the white ribbons and opened the lid. Again she took out the leaf first.

Rooth Na Jaana Tumse Kahoon Toh

Main In Aankhon Mein Jo Rahoon Toh

Tum Ye Jaano Ya Na Jaano

Tum Ye Maano Ya Na Maano

Mere Jaisa Deewana Tum Paaoge Nahin

Neha grinned.

'Right you are Vicky. Tumhaara jaisa deewana aur kahan hoga?' she thought.

She looked inside the box again. There was a small embroidered cloth bag with drawstrings. She opened it and turned it upside down over her palm. Out fell her bracelet. It was a silver bracelet with an 'N' in the center and two flowers on either side of it. This she couldn't believe. It had been her favorite piece of jewelry. She had lost it years back, when she was in 2^nd PUC. How did he get it?

She put it back in and took out the letter quickly and began reading it.

'Pata tha mujhe you wouldn't believe me. But yeh sach hai, even back then I did love you.

Tumhaari har ek cheez mere liye special hai. Yeh bracelet mujhe library mein mili thi. I meant to return it to you... I just couldn't.

Love Vicky.'

Vicky did love Neha even back then. All the rude behavior was just a way to hide his feelings. And God alone knows when that idiot would've actually confessed his feelings to Neha, if not for Swayam.

Vicky, Nilesh, Neha, Kriya and Swayam were classmates in St. Louis where they were studying for their MBA. Initially, Neha had refused to join the same college as her brother again, but it was the best in Mumbai, and she got a seat purely on her merit while the other two were taken mostly for their dancing talent for which they were famous. It was their idea to start a dance group. There weren't many great dancers back then. Swayam and Kriya had joined but they needed more girls. Neha had been on Vicky's mind all the time but he did not dare to approach her. Finally, he made Kriya to convince her to join the team.

Kriya and Neha became great friends right from the start and Kriya boosted Neha's confidence and finally Neha agreed.

Nilesh might be blind to things like love but Swayam sure wasn't. One look on Vicky's face when Neha was around was enough. Soon he got Vicky to confess the whole story to him. He even promised to help him, which he did.

With Swayam's 'gyaan' and tips, Vicky began trying to impress Neha. She ignored him most of the time, which given his previous behavior was understandable. She made him suffer a good deal before finally confessing her feelings to him...3 years back, same day, same place!

And here was Vicky, about to propose Neha for marriage! If Swayam had seen all his arrangements, he would be proud of his friend today! But he was away for a business meeting. Vicky had told him about it on the phone and Swayam had given his blessings. 😆

After she had read the letter, Neha wiped off a tear and placed it back inside the box. Then, taking the box along with her she began climbing the steps. As before, diya's were placed on each step here too.

Finally, full of love, curiosity and excitement Neha reached the pool area.
