It was evening.. I still sat there alone my hopes almost nil.. But my heart said that yet the day isnt over.. He will surely come.. I removed my cap and gown and gave it back.. I opened my certificate and reminced Vanshs words.. He was more awaited for this day than me.. What is keeping him waiting??

A paper was thrown on me.. I looked into that direction but found nobody. I looked at the paper ball and opened it.. It read-

Khule zulfo mei
Bhari shaam mei
Intezaar karti teri nigahei
Bas usi ke deedar ko chahe

I turned the paper and to find more words but it was blank.. I stood up and walked towards the direction where the paper was thrown.. I found another rolled ball of paper lying there..

Tarasta mai bhi tujhe paane ko
Uff ye dooriyaan bardasht ab na hoti
Ab waqt hai saath chalne ka
Ab waqt hai harr dua ko aasmaan se takrane ka
Chahe kuch bhi krle zamana
Humne teh krliya hai tujhe har dam chahna

I was numb.. I know this man.. My Vansh.. Nobody else.. Tears rolled down my cheeks.. I kept walking but thid time I couldn't see any paper being thrown.. I looked around if I missed it.. I kept walking but it was the end of the way.. A door stopped me.. I turned and glanced around once again and opened the door..

It was all black and dark.. I tried walking in and switch on the lights.. I took two steps in and the doors were closed.. I ran back and banged the door..

Help!!!

A pair of hands wrapped my waist..

Vansh...

I exclaimed in happiness.. I turned around and hugged him.. As hard as I could.. The lights were on.. And we broke the hug to look at eachothers face.. He looked hot dashing and too handsome in a three piece suit.. a well dressed businessman.. I drooled over him.. I looked around just to find the entire room to be decorated with roses and petals. It made me excited as upto what he could be..

Vansh cupped my face and caressed my cheek.

How Are you Riddhima?

I gave a frown look and pouted. I punched him hard and he growled in pain..

Ouch!!

How dare you scare me?? Why didnt you lift my callss?? I thought....

My voice trailed off as tears clouded in my eyes.. Vansh gave his sweetest dimple wali smile.. He held my hand and brought me to the center of the room.. He knelt down.. I looked at him in surprise.. he took out a box from his pocket..

I know Riddhima I am late.. I have kept you waiting.. You never complained but you wanted me to say it.. So here I am right in front of you to confess what my heart says..

My heart beats only for you Riddhima.
Every single time I close my eyes I find you smiling.
Each and every breath I take is only for you.
Every morning I wake and the first person to think of is you Riddhima.. Only you..

I love you Riddhima.. With all my heart and all my soul. I dont know when my feelings got too strong for you. Maybe it was our distance that made it strong but now I cant afford to lose you.. At any cost..

I love you soo much..

I was in tears.. If this would go on.. then the room would just get flooded with my tears.. I knelt down and held his hand..

Vansh.. I am yours.. My heart, my soul everything thing belongs to you. Just the thought of you not coming back to me slit my heart into pieces.. I love you more than anything in this world.. Nothing can match the importance of you in my life..

I love you tooooo..

He pulled me in a rib crushing hug.. And I responded it in a same manner.. A moment later he broke the hug and Slid the ring into my finger..

You make me complete Riddhima, in every way..

I moved closer to him and cupped his face..

You make me look perfect Vansh..

He leaned closer to me and took hold of my lips in a kiss.. The touch of those soft lips gave me a sweet pleasure.. I kept my eyes closed as I felt them on mine. It was a soft and sweet kiss which was out of pure love. We broke the kiss and looked at eachother.. That was our first and memorable kiss..
