Dear all,
This story is of an Indian girl, with lots of dreams but a decided future. This story is about Chavi Singh Rathore. She is not a soft feminine woman rather she is an ambitious woman skilled in badminton, swimming and swords. She belongs to...
The next few days passed by in the blink of an eye, doing the preparations of puja, decorating home and shopping for necessary things that will be required at the hostel. "Looks like almost everything is done" Shikha said looking at the pile of clothes that we had just packed.,
"Yeah, thanks to you" It's great to have shikha here, since she has stayed in a hostel, when she went for her tennis competition. Uncle always encouraged her in sports and she is actually a great player.
"you are taking this too" she pointed at the photo album which was kept with my diary.
"yeah" We had mostly finished packing, except a few items, which I will keep in my travel hand bag since, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be puja and we won't get time.
"let's look at the old memories", she took the album and went to bed,
"you look, I will join you in a while." She continued looking through our childhood pictures, making fun of us, pointing out different locations and commenting on people, while I changed to my night suit and finished my night care routine.
"Bhabhi, look at this" I was going to look at my diary when she interrupted me.
I joined her in bed, it was a picture of me and Karthik from our engagement, he was looking at me while I was looking down. Since, it was his birthday party I was wearing a simple suit. He was dressed in white kurta with half blazer. Coincidentally we were wearing matching colours. We both looked so happy and in love that I anyone would be easily mistaken that we were already in love and I wish that was true. The way he looks at me, I genuinely wish he was looking at me because of love and not just to pose for camera.

"I'll send this one to bhai" she sent a picture of it to Karthik,
"no shikha wait", I tried to take her phone.
"oops, it's gone."
"Shikha" although I wanted to know how he feels about the picture, does he look at it with the same peaceful expression as I do. "ok enough. You go and sleep. We have to wake up early tomorrow, if you won't wake up on time, everyone will go to the river bank without you, and you'll miss the bhor puja(morning prayer)." The morning prayer of devi puja is the second most fascinating moment after the main ratri bhajan (night prayer) but right now I just wanted to dwell in my thoughts alone.
"Ok. Ok, I am leaving. Good night" she went and I continued to admire our picture.
A few minutes later, "Chavi", (knocking on the door), I could easily tell by the voice that it's Karthik.
"yeah you can come in, the door is not locked." He came inside and sat next to me at some distance.
"shikha went"
"yeah, she just left"
"it's a beautiful picture" he said pointing at the picture. His expression was exactly the way I wanted, he admired it just the way I do.
"it is indeed", our hands touched in the haste of tracing the picture, and sent a shiver down my spine. I tried to quickly move away but he held my hand and my heartbeat quickened."Chavi, I have something for you." He looked at me and took out a small velvety box from his pocket.
"you remember when I was going to London, you gave me a gift." I nodded and he moved closer without leaving my hand or breaking the eye contact. "Today, I have got you something." He opened the box and took out a ring, It's an infinity ring but the loops of infinity are heart shaped.

Something that has no end. Like us.
The memory of our childhood flashed back.
"Infinity, like us" my eyes blurred with tears forming, When we got engaged, I was not sure if I felt anything for karthik other than friendship and later we stopped talking much, so I didn't get a chance to clarify my thoughts and feelings for him. Until the day I got to know that he is leaving abroad. The thought of not seeing him for a whole year bothered me more than it should have and that day I realized, I don't just consider him a friend. He was more than that for me and that was the reason, I couldn't talk to him the same way after engagement because I was unconsciously worried that he was forced for it.
