Part 1- The realization
"I cannot fall for him, no I cannot love him. Love? So is this what it is? I love my partner? Why? When? How? I cannot do this to him, to myself! I have to stay away from him, yes I will forget him. Manvi who are you kidding, forget him? You think that is possible when he is in every breath you take, each heartbeat of yours! Look around yourself Manvi- everything around you reminds you of him. Hell even the air around you has his name written all over it; Virat." These were the thoughts going in her head when there was a knock on her door.
Virat, Manvi and Jeevika were in Mumbai for Manvi's cancer treatment. Since couple of days both Jeevika and Virat had noticed that Manvi was always lost in her own thoughts these days and today too she was in her room sitting on the window sill looking at the ocean, all quiet. That is when Virat decided that it was too much and he would ask her, his partner, what was troubling her so much. He had a faint idea though, he knew that she must have been thinking about her treatment that would start the day after but why was she so quiet now, all of a sudden? Was she so scared? His sherni, his partner, his bandariya, his his; he could not even say it to himself but he knew it, his love was scared! He needed to do something so she would smile and bring him out of this misery. Yes right, she was quiet, sad and hurt but seeing her like that hurt him more. All of a sudden it was like darkness in his life, like the sun stopped rising for him. He knew that both his bhai and bhabhi maybe even his mom knew that Manvi meant a lot to him but little did anyone know that Manvi didn't mean a lot to him; she meant everything to him. She was the reason for his life, nothing in this world made sense to him without her, she was his.. love. He could not hide this anymore; he had felt his love for her a long time ago but he never told her fearing that she will reject him and that they will not even be friends anymore. When he decided to tell her, he found out that she has cancer and again he kept quiet for her to recover, for her to accept his care as a partner, just a partner. But today he had to do something, he had to cheer her up in order for him to stay sane, for his own good he needed that smile of hers so he headed to her room and knocked. There was no answer so he knocked again, no answer. This panicked him and immediately he opened the door.
There his life, his love, his sole reason for existence, his partner was sitting on the window sill looking at the ocean, lost in her own thoughts. Something in her face told him that she was thinking about him but he quickly disregarded the thought and cleared his throat to get her attention.
