Sitting on bench at railway ,Meera looked at people passing by...So many families receiving their loved ones...Some joys celebrated...Some contended...Some planning their day ahead. She wished every week...that this will be her last visit...waiting for Sameer to return...to her... but like always he did not. She wanted to prove world around her wrong, they did not know but she knew. Sameer will come one day just for her as he has to because he promised.
Meera looked back to those days when their love was just about to bloom, she did not know it would be so soon...but then this ,man was something else and she was already taken in.by that charm.

After that incident of bikers, Meera had developed some liking for Sameer but what was that she could not decide.She used to get nervous around him.Just the thought of being him close to her made her excited made her smile without a reason.He did start flattering her with compliments each day...he knew well how to impress girls... as Meera thought she was hard one ...but she was already taken in... till one day.. when Sameer asked her out for dinner...she had no clue...as no one has asked her like that... Was he asking for a date...?
"Meera, It will be fun...plus I need to really check out this fine restaurant...lets have a dinner yaar.. just two of us..." Sameer asked hoping for her to agree...
"Just two of us...wait I will ask Shekhar to join us..." Meera said
"What...Shekhar...I mean... Why cant it be just us..." Sameer replied irritated with Shekhar's name always...between them
"Oh... yeah sure... I will see you then..." Meera said
"Oh that's great then...it is 7 pm then...I will pick up from your home..." Sameer said smilingly
Meera was excited..so many butterflies in her stomach...she was so looking forward...to the evening...though she didnt understand why...but she wanted her to look her best... She chose her best dress...red one...lil short ...but still she can wear it..she thought...she let her hair loose...had matching danglers ... And she did look like a princess...
Her mother was watching getting amused by her daughter's sudden interest in dressing herself up...and getting little worried too ...coz she has grown up...and was going for dinner with a guy alone...had it been Shekhar she would not have mind but with this Sameer,she was bit apprehensive as she had met him only once or twice.He was well behaved and nice boy but still sighed her mother.
"Mummy, I think Sam is already outside waiting.I better go now." Meera said taking her purse...
"Sure dear...take care." Her mother kissed her and led her outside.
That dinner date with Sameer was like a dream for Meera.She was made to feel to special and she liked it.Sameer was a gentleman and he knew well how to win girl's heart.
They had known each other for few months now since he came in but in such short time only he had managed to make Meera's heart beat faster.After dinner they thought of taking a stroll in garden outside restaurant...
Then suddenly...Sameer went serious and shocked her.
"I wanted to say something to you from a long time...Actually from the time I saw you...I felt something...did not know what but having known you now.I realized that if there would be someone with whom I can spend rest of life with...that person is only you."
Meera had perfect 'O' expression on her face, what ,is he serious... and then ...Sameer came near ...and held her hand...looked into her confused eyes and said..."I love you Meera..."
Meera had no idea on how to react on this...but she was mesmerized with honesty in those eyes there were true emotions she just kept staring at that man ,no one had done this to her made her feel so special this man who came and just took her breathe away.
