As the morning light gently spread all around, Tanishtha woke up from her sleep.
Looking around, she tried to make sense of her own existence. And then, memories of the past few days came rushing back, especially of that person and his harsh behavior.
She pressed her temples with her fingers as a deep, aching sigh slipped through her lips. Nowadays the stress was too much to bear.
Removing the sheet, she got up from the bed and made a messy bun with her hair when her eyes fell on the table beside her bed. There she saw a cute little teddy bear with a note.
Her eyes took a frown as she stepped forward towards the little teddy. Then took the letter in her hands.
"I know, I have hurt you and I am sorry for that. So much has been going on in my mind for the past few days. A lot was happening with me which I couldn't share with anyone. Perhaps because of this, I ended up hurting you, even when I never meant to"
There was a gap in between the lines that's why she took a pause before proceeding further.
"I won't give you any excuses but will ask you for something"
Curiosity began to grow within her as she again started.
"Date pe chalogi hamare sath?" (Will you go on a date with me)
Tanishtha read the words written on that little piece of paper as a strange feeling began to stir within her.
She recognized the handwriting in an instant. As if her heart had known it long before her eyes did.
She was lost in her own thoughts when a message popped up on her mobile screen. She took the phone and checked the message.
"If you say yes, then I will pick you up from your clinic at 8 o'clock. Be ready!"
It was from Aryamaan only.
She took the teddy bear in her hands as a smile automatically crept over her lips. She kept it under her cheeks to feel the softness of it.
Tanishtha placed the cute teddy again on its place and went to get ready for the day.
As soon as, she opened the closet, a gift box caught her eyesight. She opened the ribbon as a beautiful shiffon saree came out of it. Everything was happening so fast that she didn't even get the time to react properly.
Her fingers brushed over the saree slowly. As if they were trying to feel something through its touch.
Taking the saree in her hands, she entered the washroom with a smile on her face.

After taking a shower, Tanishtha came outside adjusting her pallu.
She wore matching earrings and a light shade lipstick to match the colour of the saree. She combed her hair and wore her watch on her wrist.
Finally, she watched herself through the mirror with a smile. After a long time, she had taken time to get ready.
