It is New Year. Early morning my doorbell rang. I am wondering who it would be at 5 AM in the morning. There was a parcel at door. There is a note written there on the parcel.
"Dear Vaishnavi,
Thank you for staying with me at the time I needed you the most. Thank you for standing up for me even I was not willing that you stay with me. Thank you for everything you did that too without any complaints. You are a wonderful friend and perfect woman. Stay blessed and stay in pink of your health.
I am sorry for being annoying. I always knew that you wanted some life in me and you never had any boyfriend and you wanted me to stay away from you because you were afraid of rejection. I have always loved you more than Vrishti because you were my soul mate.
If you have ever loved me wear these for the ball in the evening.
Your most annoying idiot
Ashish
The parcel has a red satin sari with gold zari border, a diamond necklace, some gold bangles, a pair of silver anklets and diamond earrings. Rich people, I say. I smiled.
I don't know what to do. I have read this note for about 100 times. I don't have any idea how I should behave. I got ready and dressed up with the accessories he had sent and am leaving for Samarpan. I don't know why but I have tears in my eyes. I never did anything for him to get him. I loved him and knew he would be happy with Vrishti and not me. But the circumstances drove things differently.
The house is decorated with lilies and orchids. Mild fragrance all around makes the environment lovable. Everything is draped in red and gold. It seems as if something big is going to happen. As I enter the hall, I hear a sound, "hey, you are finally here. I thought you were angry." It was Ashish. I replied, "You cannot intentionally hurt the ones you love. But unintentionally you end up hurting them. I don't want to hurt you in either way. So I came here."
"It's all for you. Please say yes. Please marry me. I love you." He pled. I denied again.
When we are in love with someone, we don't want them to make us their weakness. I wanted to be his strength and I had to teach him to live and manage without me before making him habitual of my presence. I feel that the life is board of chess and love is the game of checkmate. I had to win at any cost.
