"I love you, Ranbir." Prachi's words came straight from her soul giving him a big jolt.

And Ranbir was stunned, hearing what his heart craved for a painfully long time. He couldn't move...couldn't blink...couldn't breathe. He never tried, never expected, never asked for it but getting a return confession was always his dream. Countless times he had envisaged this moment, but none of his imaginations were even remotely beautiful as compared to reality. Everything felt surreal even though he was astoundingly sure about the actuality of the happenings. And it made him totally speechless. He desperately wanted to say those magical words back to her, but had lost his ability to react in any way.

Prachi, on other side, was a bit disappointed with herself, at her incapability to express the feelings rightfully. The place he has in her life was unexplainable & the word 'love' felt inordinately deficient to justify her emotions. She couldn't find the appropriate words which would truly depict the depth of her sentiments, the reverence she felt for him.

But hoping for him to understand her unsaid words, yet again, Prachi was watching him impatiently. Her eyes were reflecting whirlwind of emotions, delight of vocalizing her feelings, excitement of confessing the love in her heart, relief at finally being able to open up to him completely, nervousness of anticipating of his reaction, n lastly the fear of rejection.

Yes, even after being aware his feelings, she was afraid. 'What if she was too late? What if he got weary of waiting for her & decided to move on? What if he doesn't love her anymore?' these thoughts kept dreading her after realization of her own feelings.

With the passage of time, looking at his stock-still form, her heart started sinking. The fear which was deep down in the ocean of emotions, started surfacing slowly, fading the others.

"I love you too, Prachi!" Ranbir spoke cradling her face in his hands gently, as the words came out of his mouth on their own, correctly interpreting the emotions in her eyes....

Gradually his words sunk in and anxiety in her eyes started disappearing only to replace it with exhilaration. Prachi's hands moved automatically to hold onto his arms to support her weak knees. The emotional whirlwind was too much to handle for her.

They both stood gazing at their own emotions mirroring in other's eyes, silently basking in the glory of most beautiful moments of their life. He gently bent forward, touching his forehead with hers. Tears started falling freely from both of their eyes, washing away all their longings, fears, uncertainties. They both stood there closing their eyes. Time stood still and outside world ceased for them.

The sudden raindrops brought them out of their trance. Moving slightly backwards both looked above. Their lips curved in smile relishing the first shower of their love.

Ranbir was gazing the Prachi lovingly, remembering the first time when he saw her enjoying the rain and making him fall in love with it. He wiped away the few drops from Prachi's cheek and in process his thumb slowly caressed it. Prachi started blushing, getting lost in his touch. Love in his eyes started changing its form, and unable to face the intensity, Prachi closed her eyes.

Rain stopped shortly giving the pure souls gift of nature, making the atmosphere more romantic. But loud noise from road brought them out of their daze, moving back, they both looked away to get a grip on their feelings. Prachi was too flustered to look at him.
