Writer's POV
Shreya: Dev.... I ..... I love you .
She said and closed her eyes tighly.
Dev looked at her shocked. She slowly opened her eyes.
Shreya: I'm really sorry dev...
please don't let this affect our friendship....
I loved you since we were kids... but as I shifted I couldn't confess to you....
but there was noone I could love like i love you .... I'm really sorry for hiding this from you.....
Dev: Aadhya was talking about you?
Shreya: She told that I love You ?
Dev: No she said there's someone who loves me immensely...
she told me to go and find her.
Shreya sighed.
Shreya: I told her about my feelings.
Dev: Why didn't tell me shreya?
Shreya: Because you were with Zoya.... I saw how much you loved zoya.
She is your first love afterall.
Dev: She was not my first love ..... my first love was someone else.
Shreya: What? Who is she?
Dev: It was you Shreya.
You were my first love.
I loved you since the first day I saw you... but I couldn't confess to you.... after few years , you shifted and I lost contact with you.....
then only my parents got me Zoya's proposal...
I fell in love with zoya as I thought you and I will never meet each other again, I thought that you never loved me.....
Shreya was crying,
She hugged him ,even he reciprocated the hug instantly.
Shreya: Oh god, it's such a mess.....
why the hell we were so stupid then..... non of us would be in this situation today if we have confessed each other before I shifted.
They broke the hug and dev nodded agreeing with her.
Dev took Shreya's hands in to his.
Dev: You were my first love Shreya.... I loved you a lot... you made me realise the felling of love....
Shreya smiled with tears.
Dev: But,
Shreya: But ?
Dev: But I'm not ready for a relationship,
I moved on and I loved Zoya truly....
I need time to get over this ... I'm sorry.
Shreya: I understand dev... That's ok....we .....can....Still be....best friends....
Dev: No!!!! We can never be best friends now Shreya!!!!
That's not what I meant,
Can you wait for me ?
Bcause I know , you will be my future.......
I know I will fall in love with my first love again ......
I just need time Shreya..... Can you wait for me ?
Shreya smiled and cupped his face.
Shreya: I waited for you more than ten years dev....
I can wait for you till my last breathe.... you don't have to tell me to wait......
take as much as time you want dev....
Dev smiled with tears too.... He kissed her forehead and hugged her....
Shreya was more than happy, because now the person she loved more than anything gave her a hope .....
she knew that he is her future.

Sahil: By the way, What's wrong with you Ridhi? Why are you so abnormally quiet?
Ridhi didn't say anything.... she bit her lower lip and played with her fingers.
Yashika: why you look nervous?
Ridhi: Guys, I need to tell something ... actually I need to do something.
Zoya: what ?
Ridhi stood up and went near Abhay...
she took his hand to hers...and made him stand....
She took him to the middle.....Abhay was confused...
She went on her knees....
all wide opened their mouths not understanding what's going on
Abhay: Ridhi... what are you doing ? Get up !!!
Ridhi forwarded a ring to him and took a deep breathe.
Ridhi: Abhay, I know you never expected something like this, nor others and nor me too honestly....
I don't know why , how and when .... but I think I have fallen in love with you....
when I went through my break up,
I saw how you supported me....
noone could handle me the way you do.
I always want you around me...
I want you to be with me always.....
I feel like pinching you when you flirt with other girls, that's how jelous I'm,
I want you to tolerate my tantrums....
I want to hear your stupid flirty lines everyday....
I really don't know how the hell I fell in love with you....
but I realised that I can't think of my life without you now...
I have fallen in love with all your sweet gestures, with all the things you have done to me and for our friends....
I know you are so stupid, annoying and irritating but when it's there's an issue, you are the matured one ,and the problem solver......
How I can spend each moment without you I don’t know, but one thing I know is leaning down my head on your shoulder, I can spend my days in love and happiness.
You are the love of my life and I love you forever.....
Ok let me tell in your way...
Can you call an ambulance? I think I’ve fallen for you and can’t get up....
ha ha ha ok that sucks....
I don't know if you love me, I just know you have a crush on me....
but ,
will You be my Boyfriend Abhay Sharma?
Abhay's eyes were glistened with tears.... others were grinning ear to ear with happiness....
Abhay knelt down infront of her and hugged her tightly...
Abhay: This is so not fair....
You made me cry Ridhi!!! Boys don't cry!!!!
Ugh.... what can I say... you made me speechless, The Abhay sharma don't know what to say right now, ok,
I had a rush on you since the first day of college ,
but when I met you again after six years ,
I realised I love you Ridhi.... I love you so damn much....
And this proposal was so unexpected and was the best...
I never knew you loved me.... Thank you for this love..... I love you so much.
Ridhi smiled with tears and hugged him..... Ridhi made him wear the ring.
Abhay: I don't have a ring now , but I promise to give you a ring when I propose you for the marriage.
Ridhi smiled and nodded.
Abhay crashed his lips on to hers and she reciprocated instantly....
they broke the kiss after few seconds hearing the hooting of their friends.
Ridhi: You stole my first kiss Abhay sharma, atleast you should've given a warning.
Abhay: I couldn't control love.
He said and pecked her forehead.
Their gang jumped on them and hugged them...
Others wished them too.
