I want my answer he said in a mischievous yet serious tone as he held her hand. she did not answer but he was busy admiring her skin which seemed so soft so fresh and so lovable after an early morning bath. her body lotion was something which always caught his attention and he loved to compliment her fragrance. what answer, no answer she said as she signed him to get out of her room. he was following her, approaching her for a while now as she recalled his intentionally exercising on the terrace just before the moment she went there to pat her dripping hair, asking the vegetable vendor to tell her the raised and so wrong prices so that he can enjoy watching her bargain, sending her fresh flowers in the morning with some lovely compliments, always being behind her when she visits the temple late at night or early in the morning, his being so concerned, so caring and so adorable sometimes was something she was not used to, she thought of him to be a gentleman of high regard, she respected him but his such frequent and often awkward company made her uneasy but she was never able to refuse him but today she thought he dared too much by entering her room, he knocked she did not reply then he entered and she stood silent. I want my answer, he asked again but as always she started fumbling. relax he whispered in her ears but miss me and he left the room and even her who was confused about what exactly he was talking? as days passed she was actually doing the same as he said- missing him! she did not know where he was, had the least idea of when he will come back and she did not dare to ask anything to sareen or minty but when enquired with neil, there was no phonecall either. a wave of tension just ran through her mind, she wanted his news, growing desperate every passing day to just hear that he was OK and would be back home as soon as possible. just those few words were the only source which could provide her mind some peace. she stood on the terrace she missed him, she dressed up she missed him, she cooked she missed him, went out for shopping she missed him, there was not a single moment when she was not thinking abt him. she thought of his playful actions, his caring gestures and his words which he always kept and consequences of thinking so much were- some burnt food on the gas stove, more than required watering of plants, delayed bill payments and more than that delayed meals and a noticeable change in her dressing style and most importantly a major change in her sleeping pattern because she hardly had any nowadays. thinking about his naughty actions and then her obvious reactions she always giggled and even blushed and so the truth was that she missed him very much more he had asked for! just thinking about her heart asked her several questions about where was he? when will he come back? and cant he even have the courtesy to inform that he was OK! but in a flash of a moment her mind counter attacked that how, why and since when was she missing him, she had no answer but she was missing him. not sooner but even that late she realized that she liked him, never accepted him as a friend but still enjoyed being with him, adored all his cute and funny gestures. she said he was just a neighbor but now not a neighbor, not a friend but this gentleman was her habit! finally she accepted within herself that maybe she had started feeling for him because not so long ago he confessed that he had started falling for her. the gentleman was handsome, a gem of a person, always more than happy to help and earned a salary which could afford any high society girl with endless demands but still he said he loves her for her simplicity, for her elegance, for her never ever give up attitude for the way she carried herself possessing no pride, for the way she always kept even the most unreasonable demands of all others over her very much deserved desires. she was more than happy to realize that may be even she loves him. all the filmy songs, stories and their dialogues repeated by dev now and then seemed dumb and baseless to her before she met him and got to know him but now just like the way it happens in movies, she happily lost herself in his day dreams. it was a beautiful feeling. love was not easy she knew because she had seen alka suffering a heartbreak she felt sad but more than that she thought about what all she was supposed to and that was about him!but realization dawned on her that a small town middle class ordinary looking girl like her who said she will never leave her father to get married will never deserve a man who deserves someone more beautiful and qualified than her after all he was a man for whom girls were ready to commit crimes! heavy hearted as she had become she poured her heart out in front of alka not confessing that she loves him but still talking about feelings, affection, happiness, care, attention, jealousy and anything & everything by which she finally concluded that like any other normal girl she possessed feelings and even she can dare to dream but can never live a fairy tale with a prince charming! and she was completely fine with it. again days passed and she missed him every moment, one such moment was when she was walking past the line of restaurants in the main market, she liked the smells of freshly ground coffee and just out of the hot pan snacks but what exactly caught her attention was her man sitting in a coffee shop wearing her favourite crisp white shirt and denims. she rubbed her eyes thinking that maybe it is a daydream again but there he was and more than surprise a shock was a girl sitting with him trying to hold his hand by which he was uncomfortable, she was giggling like cruella devil of dalmations 101 she thought and the next thought on her mind was that she did not even know how to apply an eyeliner properly. she noticed their alleged closeness as her eyes widened like a magnifying glass stuck on the shop's window. very agitated as she was she marched in the coffee house heavy footed and banged her fists on the table where he was sitting and those deadly looks of hers were enough to make him feel guilty, guilty for not calling her after leaving home, guilty for not informing her that he was fine, guilty for not letting her know that he was back home and finally guilty for entertaining a high society bimbo in front of her eyes. the single tear that rolled down her right eye was enough to kill him to the core. what is this girl doing here said his coffee companion none of your business she shouted at the top of her voice and left the coffee house. more than guilty, embarrassed or sad he was happy, flying on the ninth cloud because finally he got his answer!!! back in her room she herself did not realize why but she continuously weeped, she accepted that she loves him but was fine with the fact that he was not meant for her but now she was in pain, hurt with the fact that he did not consider her to be worth of informing about his whereabouts, seeing him with somebody else she felt heartbroken and cheated. not even uttering a single word she sat at the edge of her bed and continuously cried because she thought not all his love care and affection but she atleast deserved to know that he was fine, he was hearty, healthy and finally happy with someone else! mom forced me to attend that girl he came inside the room slamming the door hard and she did not answer. stop behaving frozen he shouted, m talking to u. pls don't make such an effort she replied wiping her tears. heyy wait does this mean u missed me? but now more than longing he was able to see anguish and pain in her eyes! so young lady should I understand that I got my answer. none of us are answerable to each other she said with a sharpness. oh come on admit it, confess it and tell me that u love me! why should i? she argued! and he answered her by pulling her towards the mirror showing her her tears and with that all the heartache, pain, anguish, jealousy and rage her eyes reflected! for once just let ur heart speak whatever it feels, don't think about anything else for your shankarji's sake please, he whispered in a requesting tone. his touch was something which was making her weak, all her anger vanished, all her daydreams seemed to come true, she was melting, losing herself. I LOVE U he said again in a crystal clear and manly tone but now she turned grabbed his collar and started fighting with him about how was he not able to inform her about his trip, how did he not have time to even greet her a good morning or just look at her and give a smile and how did he dare to have a coffee date with someone without even letting her know and she made him apologize for each and every moment that she had missed, for each and every time her heart skipped a beat thinking about him and for all his fluctuating blood pressure levels that she had after being tensed for him. he enjoed her behaving so possessive, so insecure, so jealous as it potrayed how much she longed for him she loved him and she cared for him! now she was really very annoyed with that satisfied and so carefree look of his , what do u want now she said loudly, those three magical words he replied affectionately. FINE!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE U did u get it straight that I... LOVE... U...!!!!!!! and now again tears continuously flowed down her eyes, but he wiped them cupping her face he wiped her tears but she just asked him to keep distance and stay away from her, she started punching him in he chest but all he did was pushing and pinning her her against the wall the forcing his lips against hers to shut all the not so needed useless BLAH BLAH BLAH about their status difference she was upto!!! she tried to push him away but he held her tightly but within a few moment guilt knocked the door of his heart that forcing a girl into something physical like this is ethically very wrong and so he separated himself from her and then even apologized. I LOVE U she again said and now his fingers wrapped around her neck as his forehead collided and softly hit hers. her chest grew heavy feeling the hardness of his chest and her breathe grew faster as she felt the warmth of his breathe and then slowly and gently his lips followed the path down her forehead kissing her lovingly on the tip of her nose, on her soft and smooth cheek, near her earlobe then below her chin and then lifting her slightly above the ground his lips again met hers and they both embraced each other with all that was going on in their heart. he enjoyed the tangy taste of her lip balm and she loved his mouth which tasted like bitter coffee even when she was not a coffee person, as they were enjoying their first we moment, which is a memory to be cherished thereafter suddenly his phone rang and he was out of that trance as he saw the screen flashed the name of his great worth worshipping mother but he kept back his phone in his pocket and that was the time she hugged him tightly repeating that she loves him, how she loves him, from where she loves him and since when she loves him and wrapping her in his arms he was more than happy because this was the moment he was desperately longing for, praying for. she finally realized that yeah if a prince charming is there a fairytale is ought to be there, he was her prince charming and it was her fairy tale!!!!!
