Title: Echoes of Longing

In the heart of a bustling city, amidst the cacophony of honking cars and hurried footsteps, lived Sidharth, a young man with dreams as vast as the night sky. His days were spent navigating through the chaos of life, but his nights belonged to solitude, spent on the rooftop of his apartment building, seeking solace under the blanket of stars.

One such evening, as Sidharth sat lost in thought, his phone buzzed with a message from Shehnaaz, his childhood friend.

Shehnaaz: "Kya kar rahe ho, Sidharth?"

A pang of nostalgia washed over him as he read her message, memories of their carefree days flooding back.

Sidharth: "Bas, yunhi taarein dekh raha hoon. Tumhari yaad aa rahi hai."

Shehnaaz: "Sidharth, tum bhi na, hamesha wohi romantic mood mein rehte ho."

Sidharth couldn't help but smile at her words, a flicker of warmth igniting within him.

Sidharth: "Tumhari yaad hi aisi hai, Shehnaaz."

Before long, Shehnaaz joined him on the rooftop, her presence a soothing balm to his weary soul.

Shehnaaz: "Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho, Sidharth?"

Sidharth looked up at her, his heart heavy with unspoken words.

Sidharth: "Bas yunhi, tumhari intezaar kar raha tha."

Shehnaaz's eyes searched his, sensing the weight of his emotions.

Shehnaaz: "Kya baat hai, Sidharth? Tum itne udas kyun lag rahe ho?"

Sidharth hesitated, the words caught in his throat, but the ache in his heart demanded to be heard.

Sidharth: "Shehnaaz, main... main tumhein khona nahi chahta."

Shehnaaz's brow furrowed in confusion, her heart racing with anticipation.

Shehnaaz: "Kya matlab hai, Sidharth?"

Sidharth took a deep breath, his voice barely a whisper against the backdrop of the night.

Sidharth: "Main... main tumse pyaar karta hoon, Shehnaaz."

Shehnaaz's breath caught in her throat, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Shehnaaz: "Sidharth... yeh tum kya keh rahe ho?"

Sidharth nodded, his gaze unwavering as he laid bare his soul before her.

Sidharth: "Haan, Shehnaaz. Main tumse sach mein pyaar karta hoon. Tum meri zindagi ho."

Tears welled up in Shehnaaz's eyes, her heart overflowing with a myriad of emotions.

Shehnaaz: "Sidharth, main bhi... main bhi tumse pyaar karti hoon."

In that moment, as their hearts beat in unison, Sidharth felt the weight of his longing lift, replaced by the warmth of Shehnaaz's love.

Sidharth: "I love you, Shehnaaz. Dil se."

Shehnaaz smiled through her tears, her heart bursting with love and gratitude.

Shehnaaz: "Main bhi tumse bahut pyaar karti hoon, Sidharth. Dil se."

And as they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, they knew that their love was a symphony of echoes, resonating through the depths of their souls, binding them together in an unbreakable bond of faith and longing.
