Do i believe in love at first sight ?
No, I don't believe in love at first sight. However I believe in love at the first conversation, love at first walk in the park, at first exchange of ideas and First thought of love after spending years with the same person.
To me this is the reason why everyone said love is blind....
*****
It's not that popular place, but on weekends it's completely packed with people.
But today there are no people. Even the chirping of birds can be heard clearly....
Shanvi : Hey Shree, Lucky for you the place is so quiet today.
Shanvi doesn't know that this silence has been created by AJ to welcome Ananya and make their first meeting an unforgettable one. Shanvi enjoys the beauty around her while Ananya is in no mood for those things.
Shanvi : When does your friend come here ?
Ananya : I.... i don't know... I think he is on his way...
Shanvi : Okey... First tell me who he is ?
Ananya : Shan... Don't scold me if I tell you who he is. He is the same person...
Shanvi : Hey Shree... Is what I see real ? Oh god i can't believe my eyes. Is he really AJ ?
Shanvi's eyes widened in surprise.
Shanvi : Oh god Shree.... Let's go and talk to him. Atleast We'll get a chance to take a selfie with him.
Ananya ( tensed ) : Before that hear me out. You are asked me about my friend, right ?
Shanvi : He is not so important now. We will talk about him later.
At the same time Anand also turned his gaze towards them. His face became like a blooming bud when it saw the sun.
Anand was about to wave at them but Ananya signaled through her eyes and stopped him. He beautifully understands the language of her eyes and act like a stranger.
Shanvi ( With excitement ) : Hai sir... Today is really a lucky day for us. We never expected you here. Still I couldn't believe my eyes, was I seeing the king of the music world in this little restaurant ?
He smiled softly at them.
Shanvi : Oh god... You captivate others not only with music but also with your beautiful smile. This is one of the reason why many fans flock to you.
Her heart : Has she ever spoken well of him before ? 😐😏
Her brain : People change themselves according to the situation. But I didn't expect Shanvi among them either.😬🥺
Ananya : Shanvi...
Shanvi : Yeah Yeah... She is also your die heart fan. You are her wallpaper, profile picture, She didn't need flowers or colorful lights to decorate her room, she did it with your photos.
Shanvi pulled Ananya close to her and said all this while putting her hands on Ananya's shoulders.
Anand turned his eyes towards Ananya. I damn sure, any girl in this world would fall for that single sight.
Her heart : Do you have a map ? I just get lost in your eyes....😍
Her brain : shut up...
Shanvi : Sorry Sorry.... I think I'm bothering you. Did you allow me to capture this moment ?
Anand : Girls, I have been alone here for so long. Can you both give me company for a while ?
Shanvi : We..... ? ( Her eyes widened in surprise. )
Their conversation probably lasted more than an hour. But Ananya did not utter a word. Can't say like that because there are so many conversations going on inside her. There is no surprise in her situation, Her ideal is in front of her eyes today and he has come for her. Is there any other reason for a fan girl to be happy ?
Her heart : Are his parents bakers ?
Her brain : Wait... According to my data there is no such information.
Her heart : Then how did they make a cutie pie like him...? 😍
Shanvi : Oh no.... i have to go.... Already my boyfriend called me more than 10 times. Can you please do me a favor ? Actually we have come to meet her friend but he is not here yet. Can you stay with her until he comes ?
Anand : With her....? Sure...
Shanvi : That's soo nice of you, Thank you 😊.
Ananya's eyes followed Shanvi until She left the place. Then she let out a sigh.
Anand : So madam... When does your friend come here ?
Ananya : Please don't tease me and I am very sorry for her meaningless talk.
Anand : Don't you tell her anything. I think you are wrong about her. She is very friendly.
Ananya : I have never seen this face of hers before. She always gets annoyed when I say your name.
Anand : Oh c'mon girl, can't you understand ? She is possessive on you.
Ananya : What ?
Anand : Obviously, she's your friend since childhood, when someone asks you about your favorite person, she expects you to say her name, but instead of her name, you said my name. It irritates her. You know David, right ? we always fight with each other and annoy each other, but I can't do anything without him. I don't like others becoming his favorites over me.
Ananya : David... Where is he ? Didn't he come with you ?
Anand : He....
His brain laughed proudly about the master plan to lock David in hotel room and takes David's mobile with him.
Anand : He is enjoying his single life. forget him, I am very curious about this new land. Let's look around and see its beauty. North or South ?
Ananya : That was a problem, I didn't even inform my father. He is out of town today.
Anand : Would it be okay if I dropped you off at 8pm ?
She nodded.
Anand : That's good. Now tell me... North or South ?
His heart : What will she choose ? 😬
His brain : If she chooses North she will stay with us for 2 days. Otherwise she will come home tonight.
Her brain : You're not going to agree with anything I say, so I won't say anything.
Her heart : Say North, say North...
Ananya : North....
Anand : Your wish is my wish. Okey... Tell me one thing, does she really have a boyfriend ?
Ananya : Why do you have that doubt ?
Anand : Nothing.... just asking....
I don't know if there is anything special about the north direction or not, but I know very well that their journey in that direction is going to be unforgettable.
Some of the journeys down the never-ending road turn out to be the best twists and turns of our lives.
Today many of us enjoy the glow on the face and forget to even think about the glory of the mind. I think that's why nature painted its face and mind with green.
Living in a place where crowds of people, traffic jams everywhere,.... the sight of greenery and the sound of birds is a new experience for both of them.
Ananya flying like a winged butterfly among the plants, it seemed to him that this entire nature was created to describe her.
Anand collected so many memories with her that if anyone asked him what was the best day of his life, he would say it was the day he was with Ananya.
The sun was setting, like telling that your time together was coming to an end. She takes him to beach saying that it would be nice to stand on the beach while the sunset.
The two were leaving their footprints in the beach sand thinking that the day could last a little longer.
Anand : Seeing these waves makes me jealous.
Ananya : Why ?
Anand : No matter how many times they fail, they keep running towards their unfulfilled dreams. Humans don't have that quality.
Ananya : So.... Do you have any unfulfilled dreams ?
Anand : Hmm. I can't say it's a dream but I'm here to fulfill it.
Her brain : What is he talking about ?
Her heart : He said he was here for me, didn't he ?
Her brain : You brainless fellow, He wasn't talking about you.
Anand : Come on let's go... I'm leaving you at your home.
Although it was not the rainy season, clouds gathered from somewhere and started pouring rain. Little did they know that a light rain would soon turn into a storm.
Unable to move in the rain, vehicles lined up as far as the eye could see.
Anand : I think the rain caused the traffic jam.
Police officer : Sir, Due to the rain trees have fallen on the road so it is better to go back the way you came.
Anand : Oh god.... When will this problem be solved ? Is there any other way ?
Police : No sir, This is the only way to go from here. The rain has not stopped yet so this problem will be fixed only by morning.
Ananya : Oh My God.... What do we do now ?
Anand : I think we can go back only in the morning. I'm sorry....
At that time her mobile started ringing....
Sharma : Shree ma... are you okay ? i heard there was a heavy rain.
Ananya : Aren't you home yet ? I went out with my friend and now I'm stuck in the rain and I can't go back home.
Sharma : You should be alone at home anyway, so it's better to be with your friend.
Ananya : I know that I am not a child, You take care of yourself.
She hang up the call.
Anand : I think you have no problem staying with me today as your father has given permission.
Ananya : Ahha...
Both of them are happy that this day has been extended a little more, but neither of them showed it on their faces.
Already half wet on the beach, they were now completely drenched trying to find a good place to stay.
After searching for half an hour he found a beautiful seven star hotel and parked his car in front of it.
Ananya was looking in awe as she had never seen such a big hotel in her life before. I don't know if this is fate or not, because of the rain, all the rooms were already booked and only one room was left.
As they didn't bring anything with them, he gave Ananya the key and asked her to go to the room saying he would be back in a moment.
He came back after some time, i didn't know where he got the clothes in that rain, and the clothes were so suitable for her, looked like they were made just for her.
Wearing those clothes and admiring her beauty in the mirror again and again, she looks for him to show it, but he is missing.
When she tried to call him, he left the phone in the room. Ananya came out looking for him, he was standing there talking to someone. Just by looking at that person's clothes, it was obvious that he was a worker there.
When that person saw Ananya approaching he smiled and said I don't trust you.
Ananya : What was he talking about ?
Anand : It's nothing, he's just kidding me.
Ananya : Do you know him ?
Anand : Neither of us knew each other. I love when I interact with people who don't know me and they treat me like a normal person.
Her heart : Wow... Man of simplicity 😍. Although I thought I shouldn't admire him, I couldn't help but admire him.
Ananya : Now I understand how such a big celebrity wants to be friends with this ordinary girl. OK, let's go to the room.
Anand : Haha... That room is for you dear.
Ananya : I heard the receptionist very well. I have no problem with sharing room.
Anand : Hey c'mon girl, i can manage.
Ananya : If you keep going on like this then I might have to call my dad and complain about you.
Anand : I am very afraid of your father. Haha... Are you sure ? Because your comfort is important to me.
Her heart : How cute 😍 ? You think about me and I think about you....
Ananya : But there is one condition, can we go eat something before we go to the room, I am very hungry.
He laughed at the way she spoke and only then did he remember his stomach. Befitting the name of a seven-star hotel, the place was lit up with starry lights. This is because they used candles instead of electric lights. There's a good thing about it that you don't even know the faces of the people at the next table.
Her face glowed faintly in the candlelight, and the clothes he bought her enhanced her beauty to rival hers.
The place was further decorated with delicious food and pleasant music. It was his songs that were infusing so much sweetness there.
Ananya's feet started tapping to the music and she was enjoying the songs so much.
Anand : Hey wow...Even I didn't enjoy this song this much when I composed it. when i see you enjoying this song, it's feel like I'm enjoying it. Are you ready to dance with the one who owns this music that touched your heart ?
Thus Anand asked and held out his hands in front of her.... Sometimes our hands don't listen to us and that's how today Ananya's hands went and stuck into his hands.
Little did she know that those 5 minutes of blissful dance with holding his hands would bring her great pain in the future.
When they reached the room she was surprised to see two separate beds in the room.
Ananya : When did you get this idea ?
Anand : I had this idea from the beginning. But I don't know how you will take it. So...
She could only smile back.
Peaceful sleep is actually a blessing. But when we are at the peak of happiness, we do not want that peace. Now Anand is also in that stage.
Anand had never admired any girl like this before.
" She is something.... I could not take my eyes off from her. She never runs after expenses and she makes me feel different when I am with her. Between the people who treating me like a celebrity, she treats me like friend. You know it's impossible, don't do your magic tricks on me. "
He wants to see her face when his eyes open in the morning.
*****
In Morning....
Due to yesterday's rain, even after the sun rose today, the effect of the cold did not diminish.
When Ananya wakes up in the morning, she sees a child beside her and thinking it is her dream, she shares her blanket with the child saying, " Baby... Are you cold, wrap yourself in this blanket?"
It wasn't until the baby kicked her that she realized it wasn't a dream.
Ananya ( In a charming way ) : why are you kicking me ? Whose child are you ? How did you come to me ?
Anand couldn't help but laugh at her childish talk.
Ananya : I know you were the one who did this, whose child is this ?
Anand : We saw someone on the sidewalk last night, didn't we? This is his child.
Ananya took the child close to her and asked him how we are looking.
Anand : Cute 😍....
Ananya : Did you hear that baby ? Uncle said you look soo cute...
His brain : Hey girl... He's talking about you, not the baby.
Anand : I'm talking about your messy hair.
Ananya : What ? Hoo Noo...
She hides herself and the baby in the blanket.
Anand : Oh c'mon girl... Show me your beautiful face.
He tries to pull the blanket.
Anand : Oh c'mon Anu...
She moved the blanket slightly and showed him only her face.
Ananya : Anu ?
Ananya : Yeah Anu.... There is no point in calling you Shree or Ananya. The name Anu suits you very well. Can I call you by that name ?
Ananya : You can call me by whatever name you like.
Anand : That's soo nice of you Anu... Did you know ? This name is very lucky for me. You are the second girl with that name in my life.
Her brain : Second 😬
Her heart : Second 🥺
Ananya : Second ? 💔...
