"why did you do this to me?you promised."Aarti said to herself.. She had read the letter Yash has mailed duringhis business trip.She kept reading the lines that meant the whole world to her.."Ican't promise you the Sun, Moon,stars etc may be one day i can, but today I promise you that whenever you in trouble i will be superman & whenever you need love I will turn into me..& on that day we two will become one.such words of the man she fell in love with.
She didn't sleep thereafter,she wandering to the past..Aarti was just 6 years when her dad mr Dubey got transferred to Delhi.where she met Yash, her neighbor,1 year senior. Aarti still remembers how everyone at school teased them as 'The Infamous Couple' because of their skin complexions as Aarti blackish & Yash whitish & how Yash hate to hear it.so Aarti asked him "why do you visit me if you hate it" "i can't help it" he replied "we are neighbors"..at the time of SSC exam Yash got malaria & could not attend exam so failed for SSC.. then he has to study with Aarti for next exam..
Soon completed HSC Aarti went for medicine nearby Yash's engineering college... their colleges werefar from city so their parents suggested to live to nearby colleges..so both had two separate rooms in a apartment
As the college years passed by their naive thinking slowly slowly replaced by love but resist to tell eachother..Aarti thought that first boys should propose & even told this their friends & Yash..but Yash thought ' why boys? ladies first' & their argument never ended.
Both were enjoying college days..& one day Yash received news that his parents met an accident & were no more. so Yash became orphan. He would have gone into depression if Aarti had not taken care.She used to tell him be strong & this incident drew them more close.
One day Yash graduated with distinction & also got decent job far from city he preferred to live in same place close to Aarti... Both used to party with friends every saturday till late night. & every Sunday Aarti used to prepare lunch for both as his day started from afternoon..
One Sunday she went to call him for luch he was not in the room..but found one note "I will be back after couple of hours" Aarti was thinking"Where chould have gone so early?"
Couple of hours Aarti's doorbell rang.She went to open it & to her amazement Yash with bouquet full of roses in his hand."are you going to make me stand here or calling me in" recovered from shocked she asked "why this suddenly?" he replied "Just take a look at calender.Today 14th Feb a Valentine Day" ..
For Aarti 14th Feb was just another day of the month nothing special..though she was always expecting from Yash. So she delighted to see the roses bouquet she forgot Yash's presence.
"Ahem" said Yash.."Oh! I am sorry..but thanks for beautifull roses" Aart smiled."but why suddenly?"
"You see I am going for business tour for 6 months tomorrow" Yash said" So I said myself'six months i will not able to see you' & coincidently today 14th Feb.Valentine day so I rush to bring these beautiful roses for you & wanted to see happy look on your face which i would remember for six months" saying this he went close to her took her hand in his kneeled on one leg..looked towards emotions on her face"The second time I will kneel before a woman is when" Yash stopped while..Aarti's eyes were watery.he added "when i tie shoelace of our princess..will you help me?" he completed.Aarti bent towards Yash with tears & kissed him.that was first time both had kissed. Yash & Aarti were cherrishing the moment as both were not going to see eachother for next 6 months.
They spent whole day together & went for shopping, restaurant & returned in the evening with happy mood & before going to bed he called Aarti & put one beautifull diamond ring of his initial 'Y' to her finger as his fiancee.& went to his room to sleep to catch early morning flight. "How will I spend these 6 months without him" she in thought & sleep..
