I have never cared about people, at least not enough that I was ready to do anything, to give up anything and to even kill anything that  makes her sad. I couldn't even cry when my mother died, i was numb and i was broken but i didn't cry. At such times you realise that you don't have a heart, at least not the feeling kind , you have one that breathes and keeps you alive. But when I saw her in Tears, it felt something, I felt something. A feeling that I never want to feel again, a feeling that made me realise that she isn't a stranger anymore, that maybe i'm the kind of person who has fallen for the first sight kind of lov-
‘I think I should leave now’. She pulled away from me and wiped the tears on her face.
‘Why?’
‘This was enough, thankyo-’
‘Tira wait, this can't be. Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry if I did. I shouldn't have asked you but I'm sorry. Please don't leave. We haven't really been anywhere’. I said cutting her off.
‘No, Rivaan, please it's not your fault. You were amazing, you did everything right, even better than right. It's me okay?  It was the best day I ever had, trust me. She replied.
‘Then don't go, stay Tira please?
‘Listen, i'm so sorry but i don't think i should , it won't be right, it won't be right to you. I don't even know how to thank you. Its- its-. It can't happen, I’m sorry. I have to leave.’ She got up and put the book in her bag and turned away and before she could leave , I held her hand. It wasn't a planned move, it was an impulse and that's how i knew i cant let her go.
‘T, please’ I said as I got up and stood before her.
‘No, Rivaan you dont understand’.
‘Then talk to me please don't leave’.
‘Rivan i cant okay, im sorry plea-’
‘Before you say anything, let me just tell you , today was the happiest day for me, so if you think you can hurt me then you are wrong. The only thing that can hurt me is you leaving, so please don't. You said you don't know how to thank me right? Well call me selfish but you can thank me by staying with me , just go to two more places with me and I promise I will never bother you again.  Please Tira just two more places. Just for today’.
‘Do you think this speech of yours is longer than the cafe one? She asked.
I swear to god reading her is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
‘ i don't know, if it is then you’ll say yes?’ I replied.
‘Hmm, Maybe’ She removed her wrist from my grip. I had no idea that I was still holding her hand.
‘Please Tira , please please please please T,
Please cherry, there! a nickname for you , and I guess this will make the speech longer’. I basically pleaded.
‘Cherry’?
‘Your hair’. I replied
‘You noticed?’
‘I told you, you are very noticeable.’
‘Lets go’. She smiled and went ahead of me.
