My heart beats for you
There he was- my hero, my knight in shining armour, my saviour and my to be husband, my Ravan Kumar standing with a frown on his face dressed in a Tamil vesti angry at being disturbed from his morning sleep, but nevertheless he was looking handsome. I had always imagined him in Tamil traditional dress looking handsome, but seeing today him in real wearing it my heartbeat stopped. He was so handsome and he was all mine and that made me happy. A day, just a day, but they seemed long to me. In a day he was going to be my husband. My name was going to become Mrs. Ishita Raman Kumar Bhalla from Ms. Ishita Vishwanthan Iyer. The name itself gave me goose bumps. How nice it sounded? As if the name were made only to blend with each other perfectly.
Today was the Vrutham. It would start in a few minutes. As I saw him, my mind went back to the day- the most important day of my life. The day when- my life took a turn for its best.
We were friends, best friends, inseparable I should say. His smile, his happiness, his pain, even a single drop of tear from his eyes mattered to me as if it was a part of me that was undergoing it. Be it happiness, be it pain we were together in every moment of our lives- never left each other's hands. Of course, we would fight; in fact fighting was the start of our relationship.
Once when I was 12, we both were put in a team for a presentation. We both were very different ideas wise, but our intention was always the same. So, we started fighting that whose idea was good. We finally, put in both ideas and it and what was the shock for us that we topped and got a prize for the presentation. That way, we became friends, but we never stopped fighting nor did we leave each other and that way we became best friends. We still fight like Tom and Jerry. He calls me Jhansi Ki Rani, pagal madrassan. I call him Ravan Kumar, Sadu Kumar, Kudkud Kumar, Khadoos Kumar and many names. But that was our expression of our love and care for each other, the uniqueness of our relationship.
He was the most important part of my life, but we didn't realise it till we were separated. I had gone to abroad a medical course and I knew how much I missed him. I used to call him every day but two months without him was pure hell to me. It was a dream for me to do the course, but those months I hated it. And I knew I loved him. But what did he think about me? This was the only question in mind when I was returning to India and I did return but, the most shocking thing for me was when he avoided me. How could I forget it, that he didn't believe in love from when his father had divorced his mother.
He had changed the moment, he came to know his father had cheated his mother. He hated love. He had avoided me even then, but then I slowly brought him out of his shell and our bond became even stronger.
When I saw him avoiding me, I thought he didn't love me and cried every moment and started avoiding him though it killed me. I applied for a job in U.S. for a doctor, I thought going there would give me some peace. And then that day, became the most important day for me.
Flashback:
My heart told me not to go, but what can I do when he doesn't want me. I can't see him avoiding me. I died thousand deaths a time when I saw him avoiding me. I can't live there. I tried to move on, but every time I did so my love for him grew stronger. I took my tickets and went and sat waiting for the flight to come and then I heard it, his scream calling out for me. I turned around to see him fighting with the police to come in and I ran to meet him and they freed him at last.
He went on his knees.
R- Ishita. You are my life's most important more, no, you are my life. My life resides in you. You stole my heart. You are in my every breath. There is your name in my heart written which no one can erase. It is written permanently there. You thought my heart to beat. You brought me out of my shell, made me smile. You taught me what life is and most important you taught me to love. I, who never believed in love, fell in love with you who is full of love. I promise I'll love you so much that no one could ever. I know I'm not perfect for you, no one is perfect for you, but will love you more than anyone ever could. I'll keep you happy forever. I promise that I'll keep that smile on your forever which warms my heart. I promise to never leave you and keep you happy forever. I love you he said and took a ring out of his pocket. Will you marry me?
Tears were falling down my cheek. All I could do was nod and he slid the ring into my finger. It was simple yet elegant just like us.
He got up and hugged me and I hugged him back and whispered back I love you to him and hugged him tighter to not let him go. He pulled back and again hugged back. We whispered I love you's each other.
Flashback ends:
That was the most important day of my life. I loved him so much and will love him forever. I went and joined him and intertwined my hands with him and went to my Amma who was calling us. I love him. My heart beats for him.
