Part 1

The winter nights were the worst in the place he was in. The thin blanket wasn't helping either and he was shivering badly. He had never been exposed to any cold climate as the city had moderate or sunny climate throughout the year. But the place he was in now, it was a completely different scenario. He pulled the blanket even more to himself, curling into himself trying to derive some warmth, but nothing could help him from the biting cold. The windows were shut yet the cold was as much as it was outside. But then the moment he visualised her face, everything else ceased to exist. Her eyes reflecting love and warmth, her smile making his lips curl up as well and her entire face reflecting innocence and purity made him forget the cold and his shivering as well. It was as if just the mere visualisation of her engulfed him with a warmth which could keep him going even in a much colder place than this!

"That was love, wasn't it?"

He smiled as he recalled their first meeting. The meeting which changed everything for him! Being a playboy, he had dated many women and even got intimate with a few but none had mesmerised him the way she did and that too in just one glance, one look. He dint know if it was her surreal beauty even in her simplicity or her innocence reflecting on her face or the redness of her cheeks everytime he looked at her, for which he fell! All that he knew was he was in love. Yes, he was in love. For the very first time, at the very first meeting! He couldn't believe it at first! He truly couldn't but when he could feel himself drown in her eyes; when just her presence around him made his heart beat fast and when all he could think of was her, he knew he was in love. And not just in love, madly and completely in love!

Due to his mother's inability to visit the orphanage due to her sprained foot, he had agreed to deliver the carrier containing Sooji ka halwa in the orphanage office, which would then be distributed among the children. He reached the orphanage and immediately delivered the carrier in the main office.
Due to being in a hurry to leave and his eyes being on the phone, he hadn't looked up and had bumped into her! He would never forget that moment! Due to the bump, she had lost balance and fallen on the floor, taking him as well as he had tried to catch her. It took a moment for them after they fell to open their eyes and once they did, they were lost! Yes, completely lost in each others eyes. Had it not been for the two kids who rushed by, they wouldn't have come into their sense at all! Coming out of the trance, he helped her stand up. She was shy as well as nervous. Her red cheeks, downcast eyes and fidgeting fingers said it all. None had spoken a word yet so many things had they said to each other!

The smile refused to leave his face as this moment flashed infront of his eyes again and again. His mind then took him to the last meeting of theirs, a few weeks back.

Flashback:

With tears flowing from her eyes she said

"Aap please mat jaiye. Aap yahi rehkar bhi toh Maa ki shart poori kar sakte hain. Itni door jaane ki kya zaroorat hain?"

He wiped her tears and cupping her face said

"Jaana zaroori hain Jaan! Hamare pyaar aur bhavishya ke liye jaana zaroori hain."

"J.. Jaan?" she said, a tinge of red creeping up her cheeks

He smiled at her shyness and innocence and said

"Haan Jaan! Mujhe toh yehi bulana hain!"

"Lekin.."

"Lekin vekin kuch nahi! Kyun tumhe accha nahi laga kya?"
