"Please fly off to London beta...", she almost pleaded.

"I can't Maa...", Anuj sobbed.

"She'll get married today...", she reminded him.

" I know...", he supressed a sob.

She found it difficult to remind him again knowing how badly it breaks his heart everytime she does that but she had no alternative. She sobbed a little before repeating herself, "She'll be... living in the... House... Next to... Ours..."

"Maa... Meri Anupamaa...", tears flushed his face blurring his vision.

Anuj Kapadiya, 19-yr old college boy of the 90s and the most eligible bachelor of the college, was deeply in love with his college classmate, Anupamaa, who he never dared talk and who he might never dare talk again as he saw her getting wedded to someone else.

With his family there for his support, would he be able to get over it or how would circumstances change and situations frame?

Nobody knows but time.

~

Anupamaa, a carefree butterfly, as he would often call her! She was 18 but more ambitious than her age but also when circumstances change, it leaves no one intact.

~

He had the choice.
He made the tougher one - To stay in his home next to Anupamaa's new home.

~

Would it mark a new beginning or close a chapter forever? Would there be any end to the sufferings and pain or would they be destined to stay apart for the rest of the lives? If no, then could the unison truly be a fairytale he wished for her?
