It’s beautiful (Part I)

It started beautifully..!!

She herself didn’t know why she was so excited to meet him. It had only been two weeks of texting(day and night) but maybe there was some connection so strong that she couldn’t help but asking him to meet her in CP, Delhi before they go back home for their semester break. That storm of confusion hovered over her mind leaving her with questions like, “Why did I ask him out?”  ; “Is it a date?”; “Like really, how can you being a girl ask a guy to meet up when you barely know him?” but then she was herself countering her questions like “Oh C’mon, it’s not a date or maybe it is.” ; “I think this friendship will last so what’s the harm in meeting?” ; “Don’t exaggerate; you are just going there to listen to his stories.” Yes, the stories of his past which he promised to share. Nobody knows that how in such a short span of time Pratham just spoke his heart out and agreed to share the most delicate and touching stories with Medhavi. She was curious too because from the past two weeks the way they were talking; she assumed him to be a very humorous; witty and jolly kind of a guy who was away from the chaos of life but no, he had seen life from a very different perspective.

His relationships could not end on a happy note which pinched him so hard. He was emotional too; very sensitive and knew what love is perfectly. Somewhere, deep inside his heart he blamed himself for not being able to be with the ones he wanted to. Medhavi would never have got to know this side of Pratham if she wouldn’t have asked him to meet. They had different definitions of love. Once, Medhavi asked, “What is love?” Pratham wasn’t expecting such a question maybe so he answered that it will take time to explain what actually love is. He asked the same and she replied, “Selfless devotion. Love is selfless devotion.” Medhavi still thinks he was astonished by her answer. Later he said, “Love; no matter how much you do; it is always less.” This astounded her completely.

They still recall an incident when Pratham asked, “Is it okay to give love a second chance?” She replied, “Yes it is because someone is out there waiting to mend your broken pieces.” He again asked and this time it was it was intense, “A third chance?” She was numb for two seconds and then replied, “Remember, your definition for love; no matter how much you do; it is always love. So go for it. Love always deserves another chance.” These two; they had intense conversations before meeting maybe that’s why it didn’t appear that they were meeting for the first time. The night before meeting, Medhavi was lost in her own world thinking what she would wear, what they would talk, will there be awkward silences, what he is as a human being and most importantly was it really okay asking out a guy like this when it’s not even a date or maybe it is. Oh God! CONFUSION..!!
