Love
Loving someone
The feeling wasn't intense, wasn't thrilling, wasn't like a butterfly effect but yet it managed to heal out the little broken hearts of these two individuals.
Love isn't easy, these two know it yet they're willing to give a chance.
Sumedh doesn't knows if he loves her or not, or maybe he doesn't understands this feeling, but his heart warms when he hears her saying
'Don't say you love me back, it's not a saying it's a feeling,a realisation, a gesture. Don't force it from your mouth like every person says'
How lucky was he?
And how lucky is she?
Well, every individual in life is lucky in some or the other cases. Only if they realised
Only if people understood they're meant to love, meant to be a little broken, meant to be heal, meant to just go up and down in an ordinary life.
Their story isn't a cliche story, there's no one too egoistic, prideful, rich, one who's too broken, or one who's too hopeful.
Both are different people. Both are a little pain, little scars, little damage but they're little humble, little kind, little high in emotions and little disturbance as well.
He isn't full ice, neither is she fire.
She isn't the sunshine, he isn't the grumpy.
They've their sunshine days too, and their grumpy days as well.
Words aren't sufficient to define them, you know?
How can you describe them in a word, they're a mix, a collection, a Chaos which has no word.
There's no perfect answer, there's no right answer, there isn't a mess which cannot be sorted , there's nothing imperfect.
Beauty lies in everything.. it's just your perspective.
Right now Mallika's heart is so full seeing the shine in Sumedh's eyes.
It's because of her, or maybe not. It's because he's such a precious beautiful person who actually acknowledges her value.
She doesn't wants to sound selfish, but she wants him, she wants him for this life, next year and for every life and even after that. Why?
It's simple.
He fills the void inside her.
It wasn't exactly like a piece fitting perfect in her life, but isn't that the point?
What's a whole life?
Life in pieces, life in phases is a life.It was a new phase, a new stage welcoming them like anything else. And they're so ready to embrace this.
Not for each other.
But for themselves.

"That one, and that one." Sumedh picked up the jars and kept it leading the trolley and entering the frozen section now.
"Butter." Mallika says and taps her foot impatiently trying not to freak out but Sumedh knew.
Well you know what's happening?
A disaster
Two individuals who survive on basic cooking, are trying to cook a whole damn meal.
Ask why
Because...
"Let's skip this plan." Sumedh says.
"No, we're making dinner and inviting everyone. Ma, papa, Vedika is also coming. Akshay, Ruhi, Arjun, Vivaan and? Aur Kaun Bach gya?" She panicks
"Ms Mehra how could you forget your favourite aunty who makes you meals every damn day?" Sumedh gasps
"Shit shit shit. I need to make a list and then-
"Done." He claps
"What?"
"The list is in our group I've sent them an invite of dinner tonight, and they've replied as well. See." She quickly opens the WhatsApp chat
[ #CoolNeighbors

Mallika smiled at the chats. She's truly lucky to have such people
"What's for the menu chef Mehra?" Sumedh smiles at her
"Pure vegetarian khana as planned assistant Chef Aggarwal, are you ready?" She grins back
"Always ready for you ma'am." He winks and she knew it wasn't a bad decision ever.
He's the one.
Because that goddam smile man
She'll protect it always
