They Are Meant To Be !

KNOWING EACH OTHER

The food comes and we enjoy it. After completing, I say :
I actually set this dinner up to propose to you. But I now understand how true your love is for Deepika. I'm not deserving of such good love. And I feel really guilty that I did all that. I'm sorry. I'm saying heartfully. May you and Deepika be together again.

He smiles, shakes his head and says :
Thank you so much but every girl in the world deserves the same kind of love. You people bare so many pains for bringing us into the world and do not receive enough love. Without you people, we are nothing. Never doubt yourself Anu. Every girl goes through so much! Like periods, mood swings, childbirth, etc etc and in return, you deserve nothing but all the love in the world. You deserve true love.

I get tears listening his words. Awe! Why is he so perfect!?

I widely smile and say :
You're so sweet Rahul. Every girl would want to be with you. You're so perfect. Like you're too perfect for this world!

He smiles and says :
Thank you so much. But I want to ask you something.

He extends his hand towards me and says :
Will you please be my friend?

I smile and say :
Yeah! Of course! I would love to be friends with you.

He asks :
Shall we spend the night here? I love this setup.

I say :
Of course.

We bring our chairs close together and sit down staring at the sky. With so many twinkling stars and Rahul aside me, this night is just perfect. I grab his arms and rest my head on his shoulder.

He asks :
When are you and your boyfriend getting married? What's his name by the way?

I say :
His name is Abhishek. He called off the engagement yesterday.

His eyes immediately get softened. He holds my face in his hands and says :
I'm so sorry for you Anu. But, since he called off the engagement for whatever reason, he doesn't deserve you. It's okay.

And he rests my head on his chest. I just lay there feeling his warmth. This man is perfect in all senses.

He then says :
Sleep if you want to Anu. I don't mind.

I smile and say :
No. Say something. I'm not sleepy.

He asks :
What do you want me to say ?

I say :
Anything. Any bullshit would do. I just want to hear you speaking. Or singing. Or anything.

He smiles and starts to sing. He sings the song traitor. He is such a great singer. Oh My God! The way he sings brings me tears.

He sees me and asks :
Hey! Am I singing that bad?

I laugh and hit his arm. I say :
How do you sing that well? The way you convey emotions made me cry. How many talents do you have?

He laughs and says :
I can do everything in little quantities. Not perfect in anything.

I smile and say :
Sing me a love song.

He starts singing Halo and I say :
You're unbelievable. How can you sing my exact favourite?

He smiles and says :
It's my favourite too.

He continues to sing. His voice is beautiful and suits any song. He makes me fall in love with him again and again. I just sit staring at him.

He waves hands at me and asks :
Hey! What happened?

I say :
Nothing. I was just thinking about all the girls that had you. You're such a great guy. All of them are so lucky.

He smiles and says :
Awe. You're so sweet. You know, I actually had only two relationships before Deepu. The first one was in tenth standard. We were together all of our 11th and 12th classes. But, after that, we had to go our ways even without a breakup. We are just not destined to be together. The second was in the first year. It just lasted a week since that girl cheated on me. I caught her having sex with some other guy the exact night she called me home. That hurt a bit but I was strong enough to brush it off. And then, I had a crush on you. I wanted to propose you but I just wanted to experience being together with the most popular girl of our college. I proposed Deepu out of thin air and she accepted. That's how we ended up together.

I smile and say :
You both might have started off in a weird way but you both are just made for each other. The whole college looks up to you. You're like the power couple of our college.

He laughs and says :
Any couple can become ideal when they have mutual respect, love, respect each other's privacy and stay loyal to each other.

I smile and ask :
So, it's been two and a half years of you two being together right? How many fights have you had?

He smiles and says :
Two. Big ones. Big in the sense, not talking to each other. Both of them because of that Rahul dick.

I caress his arm and say :
Only two!? Woahh! You know we both had 5 big fights. One was as big as killing ourselves. But we just brushed them under the carpet thinking fights are common in love.

He smiles. I ask :
How do you say sorry to each other?

He says :
She comes to me, kisses me on the cheek and says :
I'm sorry. Just think who will be there to kiss you like this if you leave me. Then, I just throw her on the couch and we make out. I know it's cheesy but whatever.

I laugh and say :
No, that's actually super cute. Has Deepu ever troubled you?

He smiles and says :
No. She's always been loyal. I gave her trouble once. I dropped my cousin at her home. Deepu saw us and thought we both were together and I left her. You know, in the meanwhile, that cousin bought condoms and took me to her place. She took away my clothes and started having sex. I rejected but she didn't hear me. She proposed me once and I rejected her so that was her way
of getting revenge. I didn't have a say in it.

---RAHUL'S P.O.V ---
She looks at me with soft eyes. She says :
That must've been difficult right.

I say :
Yeah. But Deepu doesn't know about this. I felt like killing myself but Deepu said me many times that she should die before me because she cannot bare the pain of me going away. I stayed in just for her. After some days, I brushed it away and now we are happier than ever.

She caresses my shoulder. I smile and rest my head on her shoulder. I ask her :
How many relationships have you had?

She laughs and says :
I don't even know the number. I had so many. Right from when I was in eighth class, guys have been dumping their asses on me. One left me because I was taller than him. One left me because I was too dominant. One left me because I was too dominant in bed. One left me because I was too bold. Whatever! This Abhishek guy has been really great. But I don't know what got into him. I think he got jealous knowing we both are staying together. He messaged me you're not worthy of my love and you're not doing your part in the relationship. That's why I'm breaking up with you. Such an asshole! He doesn't even know how much I love him and how special he is to me.

I ask :
Did you tell all of this to him?

She says :
No. It's a waste of time Rahul. He's too dumb.

I take her phone and go to Whatsapp. I tell her :
I'm calling him. Tell him how much you love him. It's a video call. So don't show me. If you want, I'll go downstairs.

She smiles and says :
No. You can stay but this is useless Rahul.

I smirk and say :
Let's give it a try.
