When night falls

Meeting Him

Hello guys...

I planned this story for a long period. I finally began to write this story. My first language isn't English. I hope you guys will forgive me if you find any grammatical or punctuation errors.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meera's POV:

Wow, these wild lilies look so beautiful, I am sure Maya is going to say okay to Mahesh. I am so happy that my best friend for decades is going to get a marriage proposal from her crush. So sweet right?

I shipped Maya and Mahesh together after she told me about her crush on him. But, it was a surprise for me when they told me they had been together for almost 6 months.

Even Tiya and Sara know about them. But, Maya has been close to me like a family since my childhood.

It hurts a little because I always told my friend about everything happening in my life, including my crush on Arjun.

I didn't expect her to tell me about her personal or love life, but I wanted her to share that she and her crush were together before she told Tiya and Sara.

But, she told me sorry about that. I forgave her, I know she will not do this intentionally.

Yesterday Mahesh called me and ordered wild lilies, I specially ordered them for him from Manipur.

The wild lilies were delivered an hour ago. Today he is going to ask her to become his wife. I am so happy.

The bell at my shop rings indicating that Mahesh has come.

I began to pack the lilies and wrapped them in a pink cover.

I turned and forwarded it to Mahesh while saying

"I thought I was gonna got married to my Arjun before you and Maya.......... "

"Hello, I think you got the wrong person. I am not here for lilies". The person none other than my Arjun said.

I am embarrassed before I profess my crush about my love for him. I told him about my marriage with him.

I want to hit my head on a tree. No no, that means I want to cross Arjun to find a tree. I want to disappear into thin air.

I didn't know what to say, I opened and closed my mouth like a fish. He chuckled at my reaction.

I sheepishly smiled at him, "Sorry, I thought of you as my friend Mahesh ". It's okay he said.

He looked into my eyes for a while. My heart began to race and my breath became laboured.

"Excuse me'', I said and rushed to the room behind the counter.

Suddenly, my throat becomes dry. I drank 3 whole glasses of water. Then came outside and I saw him waiting for me.

It's the first time he has spoken to me since I met him during my college days.

I first met him in the second year of college. He moved to my neighbourhood after he got posted.

I accidentally ran my bicycle into his lawn and got tangled in a nearby tree branch.

He came and helped me. He gave me a warm smile and I liked it.

After that, I began to get up early to see him. During that time I had a small crush on him.

But, after it transformed into love. It's been 3 1/2 years since I fell in love with him. But ACP sir had no idea.

"hello miss to Earth", he said while waving his hands in front of me.
