°°°°°°°°°

Dear Dev,

When we first met among the rusticity of the coffee place… I wanted our relation to be that old… I did not know you then… neither your name.. Nor your position nor your story… I did not even know if you would reciprocate… when i scolded at you for spilling coffee over my papers..  You got quiet. You looked cute. Your sorrows...that time even if I had not known.. I knew you were upset… Cold and lonely.. I wanted to be your support.. I started to love you.. I did not even know when… How .. Where i had fallen.. But I am glad I did… you were the best thing that had ever happened to me… an accident separated me from my parents… that same accident brought me close to my parents...though my life was not so sorrowful like yours…

Whatever it is.. But since our first meeting...I wished to grow old with you… and tell our grandchildren about our very different love story..  

I wanted our love story to be as old as centuries and more to come...but “HAMARI RISHTA TOH SIRF 6 MAHINI KI HAI”

The faster i learn to accept the truth… the better..

Life plays dirty jokes on us… yet I promise whether or not you love me… I will always love you… Selflessly… protect you from every problems… even if that costs my life..
