The cold moist wind travelled through the atmosphere of the earth and reached a window. It entered into the empty space and touched her. She shivered and pulled the blanket over her. She made herself cosy as it felt so good being inside the warm blanket in winter. Her lips stretched a little and a little smile played on her lips. Maybe her dream was so beautiful and opposite to her real life.

The wet wind blew hard this time and made her long tresses' small branches fall over her forehead. She made a pout as it disturbed her. He was sitting near her, on the floor and was smiling at her cuteness even in sleep. His hand moved forward and tucked those hair behind her ear slowly and softly, making the frown of her eyebrows to a soft one. His hand stayed behind her ear as he adored her with a warm smile on his face. He motioned his head upwards and pecked on her forehead lightly and softly like a soft petal brushed her. A kiss of protection and possession.

She furrowed as she felt something hard and mass on her forehead. She opened her eyes and pushed it aside which was a soft hand. She opened her eyelids and suddenly gasped out of fear as the real world welcomed her. She glanced around. No one was there except a slumbering Preeti. Her breath became unequal and it took some time for her to register her surroundings.

She pulled her knee close to her and buried her face in it. Wind blew against her making her shiver. Her lips quivered as she felt the dream was more beautiful than reality. A smile adorned her face at the thought of the dream.

"Khjdj! Naina! Close jdjehhr the windowmdjfjk!" Preeti screamed in half sleep. Naina chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Okay madam." She whispered and planted a soft kiss on her cheek.

She strode to the window. White bright round ball welcomed her by spreading its light across the world. Twinkling stars winked at her due to her flawless beauty. Fresh moist air of winter blew. She inhaled it with a pure smile on her lips.

She wanted to ensconse herself in a safe protective long hard arms which give her protection and pure peace. But that arms was not there. It was ready to pull her. But she refused to because for its owner's goodness. But the owner's breadth is she, Naina. When would she understand it?

"Naina!" Hearing Preeti's voice, she closed the window and laid down near her.

"I can understand you and your point of view. But when will you understand me? You know me well than anyone. You think that I will live happy with any other girl than you? Atleast can I touch her? No, I can't. I found it in these long 8 years. I LOVE YOU! Only YOU! I want you. I need you. I don't care about these problems. There must be a solution for every problem. And this too have. So, please understand, Naina. Please!" Naina heard a whisper over her ear and hot familiar breath tickling her ear. She immediately opened her eyes only to see nothing rather than empty space.

Her eyes lined with tears as she remembered him speaking those lines before dropping her at her and Preeti's flat. He just left the place without even looking at her. That gripped her heart. She felt like hugging him tight feeling the pain in his voice. But she couldn't. She didn't want to. She did all these for him. But when would he understand?

Both were correct at their own situation. But we could not choose both. One should be the answer. Only time would tell the answer!

Far away in the city of Mumbai, he was sitting unable to concentrate on the papers before him. Her words ringing in his mind continuously.

"You won't, I know. But I will make you. I want you to be happy. That's what my priority! You can say, that does not matter. But I know how much you feel. With passing days, you will stop loving me. You will get upset with me. I don't want that to happen. I want you to be happy. That does not matter with whom you are. It just matters that you're happy."
