'THE CONFESSION'

The Haldi went on really well. There were two separate sections for the bride and the groom. I was in the bride's section and was not allowed to go to the groom's section. Divya planted Mihir as a spy in their section. He kept updating her every detail in their section.

As soon as the Haldi got over, I wanted to confess my feelings to Arjun. So I went to the groom's section in search of him in vain. He had already left as soon as the ceremony got over.

Where did he go?

-----------
At 6 o'clock in the evening popped up a message on my phone. It was from Arjun.

Meet me at your favourite spot.

I thought the moment I had been waiting for so long has arrived. I rehearsed this moment a number of times in my head but was freaking scared to go up and talk.

Maybe this happens with everyone.

I finally was ready to tell Arjun what I felt for him. Bracing myself with confidence I went to meet him. I reached the spot but couldn't find him. There was a note put on a corner. I took it in my hand and opened it.

Dear Adhya,

Our first meet was not as we wanted it to be. There were no smiles or compliments. But the first time I saw you in that party among hundreds of people sitting in a corner looking at your phone, somewhere deep down I knew that you were special. Our first meet, I think our destiny wanted it to be that way and I still know that you hated me for being rude to you. I'm sorry for that. The first time you smiled at me in Marine Drive, my heart skipped a beat. I never thought that hearts could actually do that. I had no idea then that you would become who you are to me now, the most important person in my life. I have met a lot of people but none like you. You have always been there for me whenever I needed you. I feel lucky that you chose me to be a part of your life. Thank you for making my everyday special.

That was sweet. Extremely heart melting. All our memories flashed infront of me for a moment.

What was he trying to tell me?

I looked around to find him. Then someone gently covered my eyes with their palm from behind.

"Please don't punch or hit me again. It's me Arjun", he gently whispered in my ear. "And I want you to come with me silently"

"Where are we going?", I questioned. He immediately shushed me by placing the other hand on my mouth. After walking for sometime we stopped. I was very nervous. I wanted to let my feelings out quickly because I know that I would mess up later. He gently removed his palms from my eyes and mouth.

"Before you say anything, I just want to tell you something. People say that time decides our fate and when time changes everything changes. Sometimes for worse and sometimes for best. I never believed that until you happened to me. I was a simple girl who always felt that love is an unreal phenomenon which only happens in books and movies. But after meeting you, I realised that every girl has her own fairytale and her Prince Charming is waiting for her to complete their story. I never thought that I was going to have my own fairytale but you made it happen. I just don't know when you became the person I hated the most to the person I love the most. I have fallen for you Arjun Sharma. I'm in love with you", I muttered with my eyes closed. I finally said it. There was a huge relief in my heart. I did sense some silence. So I slowly opened my eyes to see a beautifully decorated room with full of balloons and my favourite flowers.

"Arjun...", he placed his index finger on my lip.

"What did you just say?", he asked.

"I called your name", I mumbled.
