I woke up in the arms of Virat....Under his strong and loving arms.I gently released myself from his tender grip and went to brush and make breakfast.When I went out,I was perplexed to see Meghna in the balcony,drowned in her own thoughts.
"Its four in the morning,what is she doing at this time of the day?"I thought.
"Meghna...,Are you ok?",I said,walking to her wheelchair.
She turned to me,without being shaken.She looked at me but never spoke a word.She seemed to be in her own thoughts and in her own world.
"Hey....What is it?",I asked,waving my hand in front of her face.
"Can you spare a few minutes,please.",
"Why not?"
I sat down on the dining table and she wheeled herself next to me.Her bruises were healing and her health seems to be getting better.
"Aarthi,I'm sorry that I have to ask you this question,but are you sure about your relationship with Virat?"
"Why,Meghna?Of course I am sure.Who can be a better boyfriend to me than Virat!"
"I'm sorry,Aarthi.Virat is a nice boy and a complete gentleman.I have no doubt about that.I just thought that three weeks is too early to fall in love with a guy."
I laughed.
"Have you heard of love at first sight,Meghna?It was just that between us.I felt the vibe the very second I set my eyes on him.I just didn't want to admit that to anyone,why even myself.Cause at that time,I was more worried about the decision I had made and about my bockety life.But he made it so easier for me,he made me feel wanted.He made me smile when I wanted to kill myself.And as time went by,I knew I had found my Mr.Right.When he proposed me,the world blocked out.He is my first love and I'm sure would be my one forever."
Meghna smiled broadly,happiness evident in her eyes.
"I'm so happy for you,Aarthi.I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just a puppy love.I'm sorry if I hurt you."
"You can never hurt me.Now,go and sleep peacefully without any care in this mighty world."
I felt so happy after talking it out with Meghna.What I told her was not just to assure her,but also myself.I got everything done and was soon at my office,busy as a bee.Later that day,Virat came to meet me.
"Aarthi,can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Yeah,just a moment."
I told Jenny to take a hold on things and went out to talk to Virat.
"What's wrong?",I asked,suddenly afraid that something might have happened to someone.
Ever since Meghna's accident,I'm constantly biting my nails when someone is not back home before its too late or if someone unusually calls me.
"Why?Should I visit you only if something's wrong?",he said,kissing my cheeks.
"What are you doing?I'm at my office."
"So what ?I don't wanna hide the fact that I love this beautiful princess.Let people be jealous of me...".
He pulled me to himself and came so close to me that I thought it was gonna be a lip lock again.I became a little self-conscious.My mind ordered me to pull back but I just couldn't.We stood like that for what seemed like ages and then he cupped my cheeks and kissed my forehead.My heart just melted like ice.If there is a person in this world who could love me not for my physique but for my heart,its Virat.There is no other soul in this prodigious world who could make me feel exceptional and make me feel like as if I'm floating in space.Love makes the world go round,they say.Only now I understand the true meaning of it.
