BE MINE FOREVER

Breakups are difficult especially when you don’t have full closure. My breakup was the most hurtful maybe we could have talked but we didn’t and I regret for not talking with him , for writing NO , for not saying him to stay longer , for not trying long distance, I regret every decision I made over that 4 days . Its been 2 years to that breakup I still regret all this things and I haven’t been able to move on . I still think about him stalk him on all social media for how he is doing in new country alone.  he seems happy through his posts, travelling, trying new food, meeting new people and I m happy that he is doing good , more importantly have been stalking him on social media to find if he has a new girlfriend there. Social media doesn’t show any of that maybe he doesn’t have one or he hasn’t posted anything with her . After him I had a boyfriend but eventually broke off in some months due to many fights so I was almost out of dating game.
He hadn’t visited India even once in 2 years so I had assumed he is going to settle there. But one fine night I saw on his instagram story “india, I m coming back forever!” the floor slipped down my feet . he was coming back more importantly FOREVER , did that mean we had a shot together again? I was very happy . I had decided would text him welcome india once he is back but would do it a bit late not to seem very desperate and stalker . Seeing the story arrival time on the ticket was 7am so I was gonna text him after he puts some story about india , wont seem like I m stalking . I woke up at 8am very happy  and unlocked my mobile. I already had a text from him “hey, I m back in india do you wanna catch up sometime?” I thought it was a dream  rubbed my eyes the message was still there so i ran in the bathroom washed my face and checked my mobile , the message was till there this wasn’t a dream it was true ! I texted very subtly “sure , text me when you are free we will schedule one” I got reply in a minute “ omg doctor bai, are you gonna put me in your appointment list ?” I smiled and replied “ no , I m yet not a doctor. Time aahe ajun, you settle and get use to india and message me we will surely meet.” He replied “I was thinking today .” I replied “ isn’t it too soon. Aaj aala aahe spend some time with family I m not going anywhere.” He replied “ I waited 2 years not more.” I blushed he still thinks I m important , I texted back “ I m getting free at 4 from college so see you at our favorite spot at 5 ?” he replied “ okay cool see you then .” I was very happy to meet him after 2 years. I carried my best dress, it would be inappropriate to dress so good to college . the time was moving very slow it seemed that its gonna take eternity for 4 pm. I couldn’t focus on any lecture all in my head was meeting him . Finally it was 4 I rushed to the washroom changed my clothes put on good makeup and was ready. I knew this wasn’t a date yet I was excited ,even today I had wore his favorite colour.
I walked out of college campus and there I could see someone resembling  him waiting , I was shocked to see him here . he was wearing white shirt and black jeans but wasn’t sure if it was him. I walked near him for confirmation, yes it was him . I asked in surprise “ ithe kai karto ahe we were supposed to meet at our favorite spot .” he replied “ ha mahiti ahe pan I was free so came here to pick you up and small change in plan .” I was shocked and said “ wait I have to be home in time I haven’t informed .” he said “ yes I know you are informing them now you will be home late and will be back safe . I have asked your friends to cover up for you don’t worry .” I was clueless about what was happening . He said “ get in the car we have very less time” . After a brief pause he said “ I m guessing you took time to get ready and yes you are wearing my favorite colour  you look beautiful I must say .” I blushed and said “ thank you , tu pan white ghatla aahe so I m assuming there is something surprise and special that is gonna happen.” Starting the car he laughed and said “ yes , I know you hate surprises but you deserve this .” I was clueless what do I deserve and why, we are meeting after 2 years . He suddenly asked “ I m hoping you have no boyfriend. He will hate me after today and you would probably break up.” I laughed and said “ what do you think ?” he replied “ my heart wants to say no but my mind is saying who is gonna resist not being with you.“ I smiled and said “ enough with tariff tell me where are we going ?” he said “ just stay calm close your eyes and sit and please no cheating .” I was not ready to close my eyes. He stopped the car at side of the road and pulled out a cloth and tied to my eyes , he had prepped up I guess . he said “ mala mahiti hota you wont agree so I m all prepped up don’t worry .” I said “you are ruining my eye makeup it took me a lot of time.” “ he laughed and said “ you really care about that we first met each other  wearing tracks you didn’t care then why now just shut up and sit and listen to songs .” I had no words but I asked “ can I sing along to songs?” he mockingly said “ no you don’t want to , you are terrible singer.” But then we both ended up singing .After half an hour the car stopped suddenly I asked “ are we there ?” he finally said “ yes we are and just in time for special thing. “ I tried removing the cloth but he said not until I say . He helped me get out of car, I could smell the salinity in the air I asked him “ where are we ? marines?” he replied “why do you have to ruin everything just shut up” I told him I m removing this he said “wait 2 mins almost there please” I was impatient he then finally removed the cloth . I was standing near marines seeing the sunset , the same magical view we shared years ago . he came close held my hand and asked “do you remember this ?” I said “ kasa visrin , perfect evening hoti maji “ he gave me a weird look and said “ aapli ,remember you had told we should visit here often so here we are !” I said “ it took you 2 year to get me back here.” He apologized and said “ I know I had been jackass for writing no and not thinking about us but you weren’t selfish and you wrote no so I could go guilt free and have dream life. I m really sorry for that and I think how much ever I apologise would be less” Hitting him I said “ this took 2 years for you to realise ?” he replied “ kai karu your smarty pants isn’t smart after all. Since last 2 months I have been in contact with your friends getting all update about you of 2 years I missed and I wanted to try out with you again.” I had tears in my eyes I said “ I never wanted to leave you but it was for your good I had no option . I wanted you to stay here with me “ . He said “ now I m here and I m here forever I m not going away now.” I just hugged him tight , I had him back . The sun had started setting I said the exact same words “ bagh such a beautiful view.” He replied “ tu bajula asli ki sagla changlach vatta .” we both laughed hearing that, we both were holding hand and standing filling that moment in our heart. He suddenly said “ so this time pan kiss in the car stuck in traffic ?” I laughed and grabbed his face and kissed him hard . after a minute we heard a random voice “ jeez get a room already “ we laughed but we were happy we were back together. Looking at me he asked me “will you BE MINE FOREVER?” without thinking anything I said “ yes a thousand times yes”.
2 years apart didn’t really make us grow apart but bought us more close. It was a hard time but a really good time followed it . Maybe we parting away was not end of this but a start to something more magical . fairy tale didn’t end but just had a set back .
