THE WAY WE LOVED

Chapter 6: Back To Ground Zero

"I'm sorry sir, but Miss Sahni has gone back to Kolkata for some personal reasons. She won't be back till next Sunday." 

The cute looking receptionist told Suraj when he reached Neha's office to confront her. She can't just kiss him and let him go. Suraj won't let her go, not this time.

"Damn! You know why she went away so suddenly?"

"No sir unfortunately she didn't inform anyone. But I do believe she said something about her mother calling her saying it was urgent. So she rushed back to her hometown."

If anyone knew Neha's parents that would be Suraj. 

"She definitely has something up her sleeve. I have to find out." He thought and left the office.

And with that Suraj took the next flight back to his hometown, Kalyani. Soon enough he stood in front of his humble home and rang the bell. Her mom opened the door.

"Oh Suraj, I didn't know you were coming. What happened to you? You look so pale. Aren't you eating properly?"

"I'm fine mom."

Suraj went upstairs to his old bedroom and soon enough the nostalgic feeling hit him. After all, he had spent his entire childhood and teenage years in this little room. He opened his wardrobe and underneath his old clothes laid a small diary. He took it out and a letter fell out from the diary. He opened it and started reading.

Hi Suraj,

We always start chatting like this. Strange. But your craziness has really grown on me during this short time we have been together. So this Valentine's Day I thought about writing down some feelings for you. I know I'm a hopeless romantic, so instead of saying I'm writing what I feel about you. Let me begin by telling you a short story.

Once upon a time, there lived a guy and a girl, who were complete strangers. But destiny brought them together and soon enough they became best friends. They were inseparable. Soon enough feelings crept into the girl's heart. But the guy simply rejected her. Still they remained friends. Even the girl's deepest darkest secret didn't scare the guy away. He still managed to hold onto her. They shared everything and had no formalities. Soon the guy also fell in love with his best friend. And finally after a long time he finally admitted. And so they are in a relation now. They trust each other a lot, love each other's company and are completely free to one another. And hopefully they will stay happily for as long as possible. The end.

Nice story no? Seems familiar? Well what can I say, our story is so sweet it can be turned into a novel. Hopefully I will write about it someday. After all, all our friends call us 'Diabetes Couple':-P

Anyways I just wanted to say that I love u Suraj. You were the only guy who loved me for who I am, with all my flaws and imperfections. I love every single thing about. You manage to drive me crazy all the time. I love it when I get angry as hell and you hug me, being in your arms feels amazing. And the way you kiss me to shut my non-stop talk; (funny our kisses always turn into smooches), I just can't get enough of you. You make me free, and since I met you I've never felt lonely. I really don't want to let you go. Not now, not ever. I don't know what the future holds for us, but I hope I can hold your hand through all challenges that are thrown towards us, always. I Love You Suraj Mehta, more than you know. Happy Valentine's Day Dear. I'm so crazily in love with you.

Love, your one n only madforyou girlfriend, Neha

P.S. Damn I'm really missing you now.

Suraj closed the letter and sighed. 

"Damn that girl really knew how to write."

Flashback:

"Nehu don't get mad ok? I read your letter yesterday." Suraj said on the phone and chuckled. Even he knew Neha would be furious.

"What? Suraj I told you open the letter today. Not yesterday. Valentine's Day is today dumbo." Suraj could almost picture Neha pouting on the other end. It was 14th February, and Neha gave him a beautiful letter the day before, but curious as always, he read it as soon as he reached home.

"I know you are pouting babe. Anyways I called to tell you that your letter is amazing. You really can write."

"Thanks. I knew you would like it."

"I love it babe. And the idea for the novel, it's wonderful. I really think you should do it. If you want I will help you."

"Thanks dear."

"Nehu I want to kiss you right now. Can I come over? Please..."

"Suraj don't be a kid. I will see you tomorrow morning. You are taking me to chemistry tuition right?"

"Of course. Your wish is my command. I'll see you tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day babe. I love you. More than you know."

"I love you too. Bye dear"

End of Flashback

Suraj sighed and put the letter back in its place. It's been 8 years since that day, and he still remembered that day when he gave Neha a chocolate when she wanted to lose weight. He smiled when he thought about Neha said, "If you tease me for being fat, I'll shove the wrapper in your face."

As he walked towards her home, he knew it was time. Time to confront her.
