AARAV COULD SWEAR HIS HEART WAS BEATING IN MAX SPEED. HE WAS BY NOW HOLDING BOTH OF VAMSHIKA'S HANDS. HE FINALLY LOOKED INTO HER EYES. HIS HEART SKIPPED THOUSANDS OF BEATS AND SEEMED TO HAVE STOPPED. VAMSHIKA WAS TOO STUNNED TO MOVE OR PERFORM ANY HUMAN ACTION. HER EYES WERE FULL OF TEARS AND SHE COULDNT BREATH FROM ALL OF AARAV'S LOVE AND AFFECTION.
THEIR EYES HAD MET AND BOTH WERE FULL OF TEARS. A DROP OF TEAR FELL AND ROLLED DOWN VAMSHKA'S CHEEK. AARAV WIPED IT AWAY WITH HIS THUMB. VAMSHIKA WAS TOO OVERWELHMED. YET SHE SPOKE WITH A PAIN IN HER THROAT TRYING TO AVOID CRYING. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT". AS THE WORDS EXITED HER MOUTH AARAV'S HEART WAS BEGINNING TO BEAT NORMALLY. AARAV'S EYES HELD PURE DELIGHT.
THE GLOW IN HIS EYES LOOKED SIMILAR TO THAT OF A CHILDS WHEN GIVEN ITS MOST ADORED THING. BOTH OF THEM GOT UP AND HUGGED EACH OTHER ONCE AGAIN IN A SWIFT MOMENT. THEY HUGGED SO TIGHTLY THAT THEIR OXYGEN COULD SEIZE. THEY HUGGED AS IF THE OTHER WAS ON LIFELINE. THEY HUGGED AS IF THEY LET GO CALAMITY WOULD ARISE. THEY HUGGED AS IF THEY WANTED TO MELT INTO EACH OTHER. THEY HUGGED AS IF THEIR ONLY WAY WERE EACH OTHER.
" I DON'T WANT TO BELEIVE THIS"" SOME THINGS ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. BUT THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING VAMSHI". " I DON'T WANT TO LET GO." " THEN DON'T. HUG ME UNTIL THE SEA STOPS FORMING WAVES". THAT ONE LINE WAS ENOUGH FOR VAMSHIKA TO HUG AARAV MORE TIGHTLY IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE. AT THAT MOMENT THEY FELT LIKE TWO LOVERS WHO WERE SEPARATED AND ACHING FOR EACH OHER AND HOW THEY WERE NOW COMPLETE WITH EACH OTHER. THE DAY WHICH AARAV HAD FEARED HAD TURNED INTO THE DAY HE WANTED ON LOOP.
HE WANTED TO KEEP REPLAYING THE EFFECT HIS WORDS HAD ON VAMSHIKA. HOW HER EYES HAD GLISTENED FROM TEARS AND HOW SOFT AND FROZEN HER SKIN WAS WHEN HE WIPED HER TEAR AWAY. HE WANTED TO BE IN THE WARMTH OF HER ARMS FOR EVER. VAMSHIKA WANTED TO DROWN HERSELF IN EVERY WORD AARAV SPOKE. SHE WANTED TO REPLAY EACH WORD HE SPOKE. THEY FELT LIKE POEM TO HER AND SHE WAS THE VERY PERSON THAT POEM WAS DIRECTED TO. BOTH WENT TO THE TEMPLE HAND IN AND JUST LIKE VAMSHIKA HAD ALWAYS IMAGINED HAPPENING.
BOTH HAD TOLD THIS TO THEIR FRIENDS. ALL WERE ECSTATIC AND THE GIRLS ENGULFED VAMSI IN JOY. MARVIN AND ARYAN PATTED AARAV'S SHOULDERS. "FINALLY YOU BOTH CONFESSED. I SWEAR, BOTH OF YOU WERE EYEING EACH OTHER AS IF YOU WERE DIAMONDS" SHANAYA EXCLAIMED. "WELL, SHE'S MORE PRECIOUS THAN A DIAMOND FOR YOUR INFORMATION" AARAV SAID AS HE SLID A ARM AROUND VAMSHIKA'S SHOULDER. "WHATEVER MR.ROMEO " SHANAYA ROLLED HER EYES PLAYFULLY. ALL OF THEM LAUGHED AND THIS JUST FELT PERFECT. MIHIKA I ARYAN'S ARMS. SWATIKA PLAYING WITH MARVIN'S HAIR AND AARAV BRAIDING VAMSI'S LOCKS. SHANAYA WAS FIDDLING WITH HER FINGERS UNBOTHERED TO ALL THIS. THE OTHERS KNEW, SHE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN LOVE AND NONE HAD PERSUAUDED HER FALL AS WELL. THEIR LIVES WERE PERFECT THAN EVER BEFORE WITH EACH FINDING THE PERSON THEY LONGED TO SPENT ETERNITY WITH.
AARAV AND VAMSHIKA SPENT ALL THEIR TIME TOGETHER. AS THEY WERE NEIGHBOURS AND FREINDS IT DIDN'T SEEM STRANGE TO THEIR PARENTS BUT THE OTHER PEOPLE OF THEIR AGE AND A BIT OLDER THAN THEM, FOUND OUT AND WERE HAPPY FOR THEM. AARAV GAVE HER THE SKETCH HE DREW AND SHE COULDN'T STOP THANKING HIM. SHE HUGGED HIM EVER SO TIGHTLY AND DIDN'T WANT TO BUDGE. AARAV FELT SATISFIED AND SMILED ALL THE WHILE.
TO REPAY AARAV, VAMSHIKA SHOWED HIM THE POEMS. HE COULD VISUALLY GET THE IMAGE OF HIMSELF FROM THESE. HE WAS SO OVERWHELMED THAT HE HAS SPENT THE ENTIRE NIGHT, SLEEPING ON VAMSHIKA'S LAP.
THE WORLD NOW SEEMED MUCH OF A BETTER PLACE FOR BOTH AND BOTH WERE GLAD TO BE IN THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER.
