TJL#14# She Is The One

Love Shines Brightly

Diya's POV

" Maine usko mana Kiya tha jaane ko. Urrrghh!!!" (I forbade him to go) I said to my Baba.

" Kyun?" (Why?) Baba asked.

" Kyun ki main pehle aapko bolna chahti thi." (Cause, I wanted to tell you first) I said.

" Haan to thik hai na tumne bhi to bol dia." (That's alright. You too have told me) he said.

" Lekin main pehle bolna chahti think m." (But I wanted to tell first) I said.

" Thik hai na, Meri jhasi ki raani." (It's alright, my feisty girl) dad said and I sighed.

" Meri talwaar kaha hai!!! Main Noel ki class lene ja rahi hoon." (Where is my sword?! I need to teach Noel a lesson) I said.

" Aab kya Kiya usne?" (What has he done now?) He asked.

" He broke the promise." I said.

" Kaisa promise?" (Which promise?) He asked.

" Maine usko bola tha jaab tak main khud aapko na batau taab tak wait kerne k liye. Lekin mujhe nahi lagta woh patience naam ki koyi word janta bhi hai." (I told him to wait until I myself tell you everything but I don't think he knows the name patience.) I said and sighed deeply. I could feel that Baba was laughing silently on the other side of the phone.

" Aapko haas kyun rahe hain?" (Why are you laughing?) I asked him.

" Main kaha haas raha hoon?" (When did I laugh?) He asked me.

" Mujhe paata hai ap haas rahe ho." (I know you are laughing) I said.

" Nahi Haas raha hoon." (I am not laughing) he said.

" Mujhe phone do." (Give me the phone) I heard my mom. I sighed.

" Hello, maa." I said.

" Hello, beta. Kaise ho?" (How are you?) Maa asked me.

" Main thik hoon. Aap kaise ho?"(I am fine. How are you?) I asked her.

" Main bhi thik hoon." (I am fine too) I said.

" Accha thik hai phir." (Ok, alright then.) I said.

" Kya hua?" (What happened?) She asked.

" Pissed off." I said.

" Yesa Kyun?" (Why so?) She asked.

" Aap saabne milke mujhe yese buddho banaya?!!" (You all fooled me like this?!!) I said.

" Buddho nahi banaya beta. Noel ne request Kiya tha humhe. Kyun ki woh Tumhe surprise dena chahta tha." (We didn't fool you. Noel requested us not to tell you. Cause he wanted to surprise you.)" She said.

" Koyi baat nahi main uski khabar leti Hoon." (No worries I am going to see him) I said.

" Gussa na karo, beta." (Don't be angry, dear) she told me. " Accha ladka hai." (He is a good guy) she said.

" Aapko kaise paata?" (How do you know?) I asked her.

" Kyun? nahi hai?" (Why? Isn't he?) She asked me.

" Nahi. Accha hi hai. Lekin apko kaise paata? Aap ek hi bar to mile hain usse." (No. He is. But how do you know? You only met him once.) I said.

" Haan. Bohot accha hai. Manner bhi hai aur bohot polite bhi hai. Aapke Dadi ko to Noel bohot pasand aya. Woh unke sath bohot sare baate kiye. Unke sath chess bhi khela aur apko paata hai na Dadi ko chess khelna kitna pasand hai!!! Shayaad isilie unko Noel bohot bohot pasand aya." (Yeah. He is nice. He has manners and he is very polite. Your grandma liked him a lot. He talked with her for a long time. He played chess with her. And you know how much your grandma likes to play chess. May be this why she liked Noel that much.) Mom said and I sighed.

" Accha?! Who won?" (Really?! Who won?) I asked her.

" Aapke Dadi." (Your grandma) she said. I got a feeling that Noel let her win because he wanted to impress her. This guy!!!

" Alright." I said.

" Maine usko bola k tumhe bangles bohot pasand hai." (I told him you like bangles a lot) mom said.

" Accha?" (Really?) I asked.

" Haan." (Yes) she said. Suddenly I remembered something.

" Hold on a second, maa. Main abhi aarahi hoon." (I am just coming) I said.

" Ok." She said and I took out the gift box that Noel gave me and came back to my bed. I opened it and my eyes widened. There were two box filled with colorful bangles. Almost all kind of bangles. Huh!!! Is he mad!!! I face palmed myself. There was a small note. I opened it.

Babe,
Your mom said, you love bangles. I don't know about any specific choice of yours if you have any. When I went to the store I got confused. So I bought all hoping you will like one. If you do then wear them. I want to see those bangles on you. Love you babe.

Yours boyfriend (devilishly handsome, dashing as hell, hottest human specie)

Noel.

N:B: You didn't tell me you like bangles before.

I sighed shaking my head. There should be one word included as well craziness overloaded.

" Aapne usko bola ki mujhe bangle pasand hai, he bought the whole store." (You told him that I like bangles?!! And he bought the whole store) I said and sighed. Heard mom laughing.

" He loves you a lot." She said.

" Paata hai mujhe." (I know) I said touching the bangles and smiled. They were beautiful. My love and respect for him increased more. But that doesn't mean I am not angry with him. He broke his promise. I talked with Mom for a while and hung up. I was trying the bangles and suddenly Chhoti came.

" Wow!!! Itna sara bangles!!!!" (Wow!!! Too many bangles?!!) She ran to me. She also was trying and I chuckled seeing her this excited. I ruffled her hair.

" Bohot sundar hai. Kaha sai liya, Dee?" (They are very beautiful. From where did you buy them?) She asked me making the noise of bangles. I sighed and told her the whole story. She squealed.

" Kyaaaaaa!!! They agreed!!!" She said and I nodded.

" Congratulations, Dee. You are officially not going back from London ever." She said and suddenly I realized the true fact. I am not going back to India permanently after that. I am stuck here. Will I be okay?!!! I don't know though. It doesn't matter where am I but I am an Indian that's all matters to me. Even if I live in Mars can't change my root.

" To Noel Axton Mere jiju huye na?" (Then Noel Axton is going to be my brother in law, right?) Chhoti asked checking the bangles. I sighed. I dialed his number. He took it after three rings.

" Hey, Babe." He said.

" Don't babe me Noel Axton. I hate you." I said and he chuckled.

" I know babe. I love you too." He said and I sighed. I can't be angry with him.

He did a lot for me. Even went to ask my parents. And they liked them cause he has all those things any parents will search for their daughter's groom. He is more than perfect. He proved himself every single time. He proved his love and he proved that he loves me a lot. And I got to know that true love shines. It shines brightly.
