Is he the one?

31) A Glimpse!

The round ball of fire shone brightly yet peacefully indicating it was still morning and would be soon afternoon and the round orange ball would turn to bright yellow causing everyone to run for some shed due to the heat they were receiving.

Sound of waves added its beauty to the intriguing scene inside the big glass building, which further decoded, led to a large spacious room inside which a girl was sitting with sweat beads on her forehead even in the air conditioned room as unshed tears shone brightly in her eyes. She bit her lower lip in nervousness as he parted his lips to speak.

"I.........I........am.......confused......" He told half truthfully and gulped as he waited eagerly for her answer.

"W--w-what confusion in this? S-say yes......" She stammered over her words as she spoke. She was happy with his answer. But what was she doing? She was asking him to do it. Anyways, she would not marry him. Atleast he would be happy with another girl. That's what she wanted right? Then why was she happy. Maybe her love which was hidden inside her soul peeped out.

He smiled and gave an 'expected' look. "How can I? I love you! And I can't love any other girl!" He proclaimed, looking deep into her eyes boring his into hers. Maybe he looked deep inside, inside her soul, which contains only pain and hurt that she hid by the stretch of her lips.

"B-but....S-s--sameer....you....should......move on.......p-p--please.......life is t-there for you.....forget me.....once I-i--i get another j--job you would not -have...to see my face everyday......a-an....." Her voice trembled as her eyes shed buckets of water. 

He cut her off, "You are asking me to forget you?!!! Did you ever gave a chance for it??!!!! You always shower me with unconditional love. Then how can I???!!!!! How can I?????!!!!! Answer me Naina!!!!!" Tears rolled down his cheeks as he clutched her arms and shook her hard. "You will not! Infact, you don't the answer! Then, how will I?!! Okay, consider I am marrying another girl. I can't love her!!! Could you hear that?!!! I CAN'T LOVE ANY OTHER GIRL!!!!!!!! Won't it seem like cheating her?!" He shook her hard as his fingers dug deep into her skin making her wince in pain but her eyes stayed down. She wept hard. "ANSWER ME NAINA AGARWAL!!!!!!!!!!" Sameer screamed looking into her being. She didn't meet his gaze. The cry which he was suppressing came out. Naina shrugged off his hands and ran out, not before wiping her tears and painting a fake smile on her face. 

She sighed as she locked herself in the store room which contains old furniture and bore a strong smell of dust. The place was an isolated and abandoned one. Maybe like everyone abandoned her but still this boy was not letting her go! What the hell he saw in her that he was not leaving her at any cost? Why the hell he loved her like this? What the hell she did? Maybe they did the answer for these 'hell' unknowing to themselves or lost in the love they had for each other.

Why should he love her when nobody care for her? Nobody! But he did! He did and stood by her what nobody did. Maybe he was the fairy in her abysmal tale. But due to the crevasse in her destiny, it turned out like that she, herself was asking the fairy to let go off her, leaving her in this cruel prying world. She should do that, because the fairy would suffer because of her and she would never allow that. Never ever!

Tears were streaming down her soft red cheeks freely as she cried. Cried for her appalling life. Cried for her love which she was going to lose. Cried for her own self forcing her love to marry another girl. Cried for crying throughout her life. Maybe one day she would be in scarce for tears to cry.

He paced throughout the office searching for her, his Naina!, hiding his tears which threatened to flow at the thought of trying something like last time. He feared to death. Maybe for him death would be less painful than losing her infront of his eyes. If he found her trying something like that, he would definitely kill her which was just impossible.
