left me a comment today. That got me scrolling through my other comments and I realized that I'd promised I'd be updating this story super soon. I suddenly felt really, really guilty.

I honestly have no major excuses. I've just been terribly busy with my own IPCC and college that's all I can say. Which is why the rough draft of this story isn't complete as per my satisfaction yet. 

But I've decided to publish the chapters that I think are ready to be read by you guys. Let's start with two chapters today. It would be nice if you'll read the first chapter of this book before you start reading this. It is Meera and Vedant's chemistry that I feel is the highlight of this novel and missing just that will make me very sad.

Once again, I'm not exactly promising regular updates. And I'll completely understand if you guys have gotten tired of waiting and have already removed me from your libraries. For those of you who've still stuck around, you guys don't know how much it means to me.

Okay, enough of my ranting now.

Let's begin!

**************************

I've been thinking over this note for WEEKS to be very honest and even then; didn't quite know how to begin it. So let's keep it classic?

A very, very Happy Birthday Vedant.

(I seriously need to come up with some nice and original nickname for you because I calling you Vedant sounds about as general as any other.)

Anyway, along with that birthday wish; imagine me scooting towards you and basically hugging the living daylights out of you. Maybe even delivering one of my classic, wet kisses that you absolutely loathe.

Vedant grinned. Whenever Meera would feel affectionate, she would always deliver these wet, sloppy kisses on Vedant. He would always scrunch up his nose in disgust, pretending to have hated it. But only he knew how much he loved those unplanned, impromptu moments they shared.

You're smiling right now aren't you?

At this, he laughed and rolled his eyes at the Universe. "I'm not!" he said out loud to nobody in particular.

Now now Vedant. Lying to your one and only girlfriend isn't signs of a very rational guy you know that?

I'm sighing right now. I want to see that smile of yours so bad.

He stopped, and felt a lump near his throat.

I haven't had it in me to ever touch this discussion that has always been so sensitive for the two of us. But now that I am writing, and I know you will not flip the next second, I'm going to write down my views on this subject.

I...I love you Vedant. You know that.

You also know that living apart wasn't exactly something I chose with a one hundred percent willingness. But this is life, isn't it?

Whenever you sulk about my absence, I end up questioning my decision. I feel like somewhere, somehow, I've cheated on you. And then when I sit down to rationalize I realize, it's YOU I'm talking about. If there's ANYONE in this whole, entire world who understands me and knows me inside out, it is you Vedant. And I know, that you understand how important this is to me.

My career has always been my top priority, and I believe you have known that facet of my personality all along Vedant. If you could love me still, unlike all other guys who always told me I was too ambitious for my own good, I know you have it in you to support me too.

It's been MONTHS Vedant; and we barely get to talk. When we do manage to talk, we fight. I hate it.

You know through all those tough months of coaching and office along with my ever, over-bearing family the only thing that kept me sane was YOU. I need you, I need your support with this course Vedant. Even though I hate putting it like this, I have nobody else to confide in.

Please, don't stop loving me for this. I'm too deep into us to be able to bear to have you gone.

Don't make me choose. Because you and I know you'll always be my number one.

Happy Birthday my love :)
