Life in a Spiral.

Will Love Win? (part 1)

"Take care Anjali, I will miss you a lot", Rohan pulled me into a strong hug, a hug that spreads warmth in my heart and gives me the faith in love. Our love will be able to sustain this little separation, wont it?

"I will miss you too", tears welled up in my eyes.

"Shh.. dont cry. I love you. Nothing will change between us", he assured.

"I love you too", he kissed my forehead.

"The airport will be the witness of how distance cant reduce our love for each other", Rohan smiled at me.

"I hope so. I love you. I will miss you a lot."

I didn't wish to pull away from his hug. I hugged my parents who had come to see me off. Seeing the pride in their eyes I am very happy.

"My little girl is going abroad for internship. What can make a father more happy?", my dad hugged me. He rarely expresses his love. I am happy that my parents are proud of me.

"Have a safe journey", everyone wished me.

"Goodbye Anjali. I will wait for you to return", Rohan smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. He is sad to be away from me but he wont say it. Since my college has arranged for everything the only thing I need to take care of, are my documents, IDs and clothes.

Opps! I haven't checked the first and third rank holders. They are going to be my partners!

I take my seat in the alotted place waiting for the plane to take off to Berlin, capital of Germany. One professor is to accompany us, I just hope he/she will be a friendly person.

I looked around trying to search for a known face.

So stupid of me! I dont even know my partners till now.

"Anjali?", a middle aged woman enquired.

"Yeah.."

"I am professor Bharati. I didn't take any of your class but I have been called to accompany you."

"Thank you Mam. Where is your seat?"

"Just beside you. All four of us have consecutive seat numbers."

"Mam I dont know who are my partners."

"You will get to know soon", she said with a smile.

I stared out of the window and memories about my first flight with Rohan occupied my mind. Its not even an hour and I already miss being away from him.

"Hi mam. This is my seat."

My thoughts were broken as I glanced at the speaker with curiosity in my eyes. Soon I felt I regretted everything. My eyes lingered on him longer than it should and soon I looked away.

"Mmm.. hi.. hi Anjali", he spoke without looking at me.

Anshul is the last person on Earth I expected to be partnered with.

"Hi", I said maintaining the coldness of my voice. He shouldn't feel that I have an iota of feelings left for him.

"Do you know each other well?", Mam enquired.

"Yes mam."

"Thats very good. You will be good partners."

We could have been good partners indeed.

Now I am more worried about my other partner. I really need someone who will get along well with me. God save me please!!

"Good morning mam."
