She whispers, 'Trillions of planets in the universe billions of people on our planet and I was fortunate enough to meet you! I love you Ananth! I love you so much!'

I pause the video to feel the moment. I close my eyes and imagine the scenario and say, 'I love you too Mohini! I love you too!' A tear trickles down my cheek. A cold breeze blows with the fragrance of roses. It feels like Mohini has sent me flying kisses with the wind.

Suddenly, my phone rings. It's Mohini's mother. This is unusual. So I ask Saraansh to take out his car and drive to Mohini's house. I pick up the phone and aunty starts speaking rapidly, 'Ananth! Mohini moved her finger! She is making small movements! I've called the doctor. Come fast!' I hang up the phone. I feel I'm on cloud nine. I'm totally excited to meet my Mohini!

'It's your love's magic!', says Saraansh. Though I shrug off that statement, I'd still like to believe it. Saraansh notices me blushing. My heart is pounding wildly in my chest! This is the first time we both will be actually meeting each other consciously. I can feel the pressure right now.

We reach near her house. An ambulance is parked outside. I rush into her room. My heart is still racing. Doctors and nurses have surrounded her. A nurse rushes towards me and says, 'Congratulations! She is out of danger now!' I can feel the butterflies fluttering in my stomach. The doctor and nurses get aside as I move towards Mohini.

I see her perched lips chanting my name! 'Aa...Anan...Anath...' she's saying with a sparkling tear in the corner of her eye. The tear rolls down her soft cheek as she slowly opens her eyes. I sit beside her on the bed and hold her cold hand in my warm one. 'I love you Mohini! I really love you! Thank you for saving my life! I'm sorry! You had to suffer because of me.', I say. 'I...love...you...too...A...Ananth! I...love...you...too...!', she says in her withered voice. My eyes are flooded with tears as I kiss her hand.

I hear aunty clearing her throat and indicating me to get aside. 'Mum...mumma...!', says Mohini with teary eyes and smiling face. I move aside and wipe my tears. I go and hug Saraansh. 'Happy now?', asks Saraansh. 'What else can make me happier!', I say. Maa enters and gives me a tight hug. 'Maa, she really loves me!', I say. 'See...I told you! You are Ananth and she is your Mohini!'
