2 years ago.

I had gotten into a fight with a men inside the club so they kicked me out. I left the hotel keys in my jacket so I couldn't go home since I left my jacket inside the club. I sat at a bench. I looked to my side and saw a beautiful women. She was reading 'love story'

"Love story? Nice one."

She looked up at me and she had big green eyes. They reminded me of Meera's

"Umm excuse me?"

"Oh uh I'm talking about the book."

"Oh have you read it?"

"Haan. More than 3 times actually."

She looked at me surprised.

"Is your love story that bad?"

It was actually. Meera had given me that book for my 14th birthday. It was her favorite. She would always tell me about it and how she loved it so much.

"Kind of."

"Well I'm sorry to hear that."

I just looked away and drank a small bottle of alcohol. She looked at me and looked worried

"Ey are you ok?"

"Huh? Yeah I am."

My eyes were tired and I didn't want to die I in front of a lady but I couldn't help it. I started sweating and feeling the desire of drinking. I couldn't control it. She put her hand on my shoulder.

"Its that bad?"

I looked at her and tears started forming my eyes.

"Haan."

"Come on give me your address and I would drive you there. And maybe you can tell me what happened."

We got on her car and she gave me some water it stopped me from getting drunk so I told her everything that happened between Meera and I. She seemed interested in it and I kind of liked it. I haven't had a normal talk like this for a while. We got to my house and we got off the car

"Thank you so much"

"No problem."

"Oh and sorry I didn't introduce myself very well."

I put my hand out to greet her

"Rahul. Rahul khanna"

"Alizeh. Alizeh sharma"

"Well it was nice meeting you Alizeh. I hope I see you another time."

"Same to you rahul."

I was walking towards the door when she called my name

"Hey Rahul!"

"Yes?"

"Here."

She handed me the book. I was confused.

"What is this for?"

"You told me you liked this book but you lost it so here you go."

I got the book and thanked her.

"Don't worry if the book isn't good enough just give me a call."

I smiled at her

"Ok sure but what's your number?!?"

She was about to leave as I ran after her.

"How would I call you if I don't know your number?!?"

She giggled and looked out the window.

"908-***-**79"

She left and I was feeling good.

I started reading the book and tried to stop drinking. It was a very interesting book. I really like it.

I finally got the guys and called Alizeh.

"Hello?"

"Hi! It's Rahul."

"Oh! Hi Rahul."

"Hi Alizeh. I've uhh been thinking a lot about you."

"Oh really? And what do I owe for you thinking about me?"

"Oh i don't know. I was just really grateful that I met you and that you gave me this book of course, and I would like to meet you again."

"Hmmmm sure meet me at the cafe next to the park. In about 15 minutes."

"Of course!"
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I was waiting at the cafe until I finally saw her. I waved my hand so that she could see me and she came towards me and sat down.

"So you've been thinking about me?"

"Haan"

"But how? You don't know anything about me."

"Well that's why we have something that's called time Alizeh."

"Time. Sometimes it can be used for the good and sometimes for the bad."

"So go ahead tell me."

"Oh well uhh, I am an only child, my parents died in a crash when I was 6 years old and I was once married."

"You were once married?"

"Haan. But now I'm happily divorced."

"Oh well that's good.."

"I know I know my life isn't that interesting as it seems Rahul."

"No no of course not I find it very enticing.

She gave me a soft punch in the shoulder and giggled

"Stop making fun of me Rahul!"

Present-

After that day Alizeh and I have been very close, we started dating 4 months later and I eventually bought a house and she moved in. She wasn't only my girlfriend but she was also a dear friend to me. She would tell me about her day and I would tell her about mine. She's into poetry so she writes poems. I would go to the book selling a and listen together poems she would write, they were beautiful. There is lots of passion in our love and she made me forget about everything and in my life.

"So how about you baby? How was work at Sarte?"

"It was good. We got more orders in from a hotel across the country so we are earning a lot of money. And it was Maya's brothers weddings so she isn't gonna be here for some days. Thankfully"

"Haha very funny. Your co worker isn't here and your celebrating?"

"Of course this is an occasion to celebrate."

I pulled her by the waits and made her get closer to me. I kissed her lips and looked at her

"After all we should celebrate.."

"I love you rahul."

Alizeh makes me happy and makes me forget about everything and everyone, but I don't know if I love her as much as she loves me.
