Forever Yours

Part 1

9 years before

Preeta was standing in front of Mumbai University. It was her first day as a first year student. Being an eighteen year old girl, she was very nervous since she was in an another environment but still she was excited to discover university life. 

She found the principal's office without any difficulty. She was arranging all her papers while leaving the office when suddenly she bumped into someone and then BOOM!

In bollywood movie film, her papers went flying in the air while she closed her eyes tightly, ready to embrace the floor. But instead, two strong arms were wrapped around her waist, saving her from falling down. Preeta opened her eyes and she was lost into her savior's deep brown eyes.

Time froze for these two persons; both of them were lost in their own world. Both were staring in each others eyes, wanting to drown in these abyss eyes. But a cough broke them out of their trance. The boy pulled up Preeta safely on her two feet. Preera blushed in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I was not watching where I was going," apologised Preeta  while bending down to collect her fallen papers.

"Aree..What are you doing?" she asked when she saw the boy sat down to help her collect her papers. The boy didn't say anything and picked up the papers. He gave her the papers and turned around to go. But the next words the boy uttered left Preeta gaping in anger.

"Next time, watch where you are going! That's why you have eyes." Clearly luck was not in Preeta's favor because as soon as she said that word, the boy turned round and looked at her coldly. By then, a group of students were gathered around them.

"What did you say?" he repeated dangerously.

"I said badtameez ladka. Can't you hear? That's why you have ears." taunted Preeta the same way he said to her.

"Aye ladki! Don't mess with me. You don't know who I am." threatened the boy.

"Ahaha, should I be scared? Tell me one thing? Don't you boys have another dialog than this one. Oye hello, I don't care who you are or whatever but you can't talk to me like that okay? I just apologised to you for bumping into you and I was going to thank you but you don't deserve my gratitude. Heck you should be the one to apologise to me because you  could have seen me busy with these papers and you could have not come before me but no instead of apologising, you are talking nonsenses. Huh!"

Preeta flipped her hair in the face of the boy and walked away, leaving the boy stunned in his place. It's the first time a person, also a girl, talked to him that way. People are scared of him whereas girls love him and are always ready to thrown themselves on him.

"What are you guys waiting for? Go away!" Another boy shouted, breaking him from his thought.

"Wow karan bhai. That's the first time a girl talked to you like this." The hero who saved Preeta was revealed to be Karan while the other boy was revealed to be Sameer, Karan's brother.

"Don't utter a word about this. That girl will regret to have mess with me in the first place else my name is not The Karan Luthra." Both boys went away to their classes.

Karan opened his eyes briskly. It's been five years since he last saw her; five years since he broke their four years friendship. He didn't know why he dreamed about their first meeting, when Preeta was just a fresher while he was doing his second year. He won't say that he did not remember her because that's clearly a lie. In theses past five years, he missed her a lot but his ego was too big to even pick up the phone and called her. He was the one who broke their friendship but still it pained him so much. But the pain became bearable; it formed part of him now. This is the reality.
