Love in Dubai 💑 [COMPLETED]

Part 14 : Bon Voyage

D helps S to place her suitcase in the overhead compartment. He takes the window seat while S sits on the aisle seat. After flight takes off, D pushes back the arm rest and S leans towards him resting her head on his shoulders. He joins his hand with hers.

D: Bangaram...

S: Bava...

D: What would you have done if I didn't love you ?

S: Hmm...I would have cried for some days, consoled myself that you weren't meant for me and moved on. What would you have done da ??

D: I... hmm... I don't know.. I would have gone back to sleep maybe..(giggles)

S: (Giggles) Sleep, sleep and sleep.. only that is important to you. Thank god you didn't sleep while proposing me.

D: You still remember that ?

S: How will I forget that incident ? It was during Mirchi. We were getting ready to shoot the 'Oka chance istava' scene. I was sitting on the porch infront of that house rehearsing my lines for another scene. You came and sat beside me. You were sweating like anything, so scared and shy. I'd never seen your face like that from the time I knew you. That face of yours is still fresh in my memory. No diamond ring, no roses, no romantic locations, no card, no fancy pick-up lines, no candle light dinner no nothing not even an 'I love you'. Only Sweety, sweety, sweety, sweety then in the end pls don't leave me, be with me always as my wife and you held on to my hand like a child begging his mother not to leave him. I was so scared you would cry if I moved from that place. Thank god everyone were inside.

D: (laughs) Don't you know, I am not good at such things.

S: I know still I fell for it because I saw the genuine love and innocence in your eyes. What's the use of cards and flowers when there is no love ? It's meaningless. I'd rather you be yourself than try very hard to impress me. What made you propose me that day ??

D: Hmm... that dates back to my college days. I was secretly crushing on my classmate. Her name is Mahalakshmi.

S: Ahaan ! Interesting !! Tell me no.. Was she beautiful to look at ???

She sits up attentively.

D: I won't say beautiful but she had some kind of attraction, maybe her smile or kind nature I don't know what it was but I liked her. She was friendly with me and used to help me in my assignments and subjects I was weak in. I didn't have the courage to propose her until the farewell day. She came in a red saree and had jasmine flowers in her hair. That was when it struck me that after that day I probably wouldn't be seeing her. I had to express my feelings for her I was scared and another part of me was telling I shouldn't rush because I was still young to be in an affair but out of impulse I quickly went got a rose, scribbled something on a torn page from my notes and went up to her. She was happy to see me. Even before I could react, she held my hand and took me to our classroom I was excited thinking she was going to propose me but then my friend Seenu was there in the class she left my hand, went and stood next to him. Then she asked me "how do we look??" I didn't understand and Seenu tells me they were seeing each other for 2 years and they got approval from their families and would be getting married once he got a job. My world shattered. I felt everything dark before my eyes for a moment. I just wished them giving the rose in my hand. The note was with me. I came home, ran to my room locked myself in, switched off all the lights, sat in a corner and began to weep. I didn't open the door until I heard my nanna knocking. I opened it, hugging him I cried my heart out. He walked me in and we sat on the bed. I lay my head on his lap and narrated my woes.

D: Nanna, I am not good looking. Seenu is fair and handsome than me that's why Maha loves him if I was like him she would have loved me. I feel so miserable. I shouldn't have been born. I want to die!!
