The Tale Of True Love

3) something's off with her

Later not much conversation was shared between them, but Sitansh's eyes carried a different emotion- something which he had in his heart but was unable to utter those unspoken emotions; he was just glancing at Ritisha with his emotion filled eyes but remained silent adoring her, Ritisha, unaware of his glance was looking out of the car's window admiring the surroundings like a curious child and Sitansh all could do is smile at her expressions. Soon they reached her college Ritisha got up, "thank you so much Sitansh."but at this he froze at his place, clutching the steering wheel tightly, his mind and heart competing with the pace they were working
Flashback

Both Sitansh and Ritisha were at a state of realisation that it was much more than the childhood friendship they shared-something beyond words,so pure and surreal

But Sitansh's mind was a tornado of questions and self doubt, was he ready to take this step-confess his undeniable and unconditional love for her; now that a single glance at her could evaporate his worries.Because he considered himself as a weakling; he was not like other boys-extroverted, tough and concealing emotions within,rather he was sensitive, and emotional, will he be able to keep her happy?

There they were, Ritisha at the airport with him-he was going abroad for his further studies, but leaving his soul behind-his Riti, she didn't leave his hand even for a second,they were seated at the waiting bench inside, despite the cacophony of the surrounding; it was them living the silent moment with each other. She sensed his hand shaking and snapped her head towards him-her expression a mix of worry and concern.She touched his cheek gently and he looked at her, his eyes moist, and a sigh escaped her lips

" Ansh please don't be worried, everything will be fine- just trust yourself, you're not different just unique like kohinoor amongst all people. Such kindness doesn't exist in the world, but in you( she placed his hand over his heart) ... see it's there -more than one can imagine."
He didn't know who created such an angel and made her come to his life, he can't repay the debt of HER being in his life brightening it with every word of hers.

He nodded his head, but it wasn't about him being judged, now it didn't matter as all that matters to him now is her, he knew she is much more capable but still his mind was worried for her.

" oye agar meri chinta kr rhe ho to fikar not because this Ritisha is mature now pata hai maggie banana sikh liya maine SOCHO MAGGIE."he chuckled so loud, that it gained the attention of the people around, but he didn't care his cutie was all that he cared about, he too gently caressed her cheek and if it were his eyes, he saw her cheeks flushing pink, he smiled and pecked her forehead, and some people around looked at them in awe

" Riti be safe." She nodded, it was time for him to go. He lastly glancing at her started moving, and then all of a sudden she came running and hugged him from behind ; her own emotions now seeming clear.

"Thank you so much Sitansh....for eveything."
He closed his eyes, and then turned around, caressing her cheek. He held his gaze with hers-a determination in his eyes , he will change himself for his Riti.

Flashback ends

But then her heel tripped, and she loosing her balance was about to hit car's front but in fraction of seconds Sitansh held her from her arms and pulled her back. Ritisha in fear of hitting the car's front closed her eyes tight but after sometime nothing happened she opened her eyes slowly to see her forehead touching his forehead and Sitansh was somewhere lost in her eyes, Ritisha immediately understanding their position stepped back and looked at Myra who was busy playing with her pony tail, she sighed in relief and blushing got down the car and reached the college gate and waved at both Sitansh and Myra.He kept on looking at her until she completely disappeared out of his sight, releasing a sigh he looked back at Myra who was grinning to herself, her pink chubby cheeks adorned with cute dimples, he raised his brow and chuckled to himself this little cute devil was off to something
