9th Feb 2013, The day which I felt was the best day of my life the day I saw her for the first time. She was wondering around the mall with her friends, out of nowhere my eyes struck on that girl I started trembling around I don't believe in love at first sight because first sight is always lust not love I had a feeling that my heart whispered she is the one, I couldn't sleep the whole night her face was all in my mind I wanted to see her again but then how I was thinking about that just saw a Facebook news feed that my friend Aditya became friends with the same girl on FB .. so I also decided to send a request but then all thanks to Aditya he became good friends with her so he got the number even I said him to speak highly about me to her so one day Aditya was talking to her on phone suddenly she wanted to talk to the friend which Aditya talked the most which was me I was all excited when Aditya said it but really nervous when she said that "Hello" all the SRK songs where going fast through my mind didn't talk much with her anyways she said we will start talking in FB . Then the day came my first chat with her It was all the beginning , we started chatting quite often which made us know more about each other but I didn't have the grit to say that I have fallen for her. But then, One day she said that she isn't interested to be in relation with any one she said with me she has built a good relation that was friendship well then whatever it was I didn't have any thought of giving up on her having a belief in my mind I would get her, she was really religious from her prospective she always stayed in her limits never crossed it, always had control in whatever she spoke with me. For the first time I had so much of bustle towards a person that was for her. And then one quite day she said something which left me heartbroken well guy named Nasif was behind her was since long and she finally accepted him and both started to be in relation from then tried ignoring her to maximum just because I couldn't see her with someone else, days went by like that didn't even bother talking to her ....
After 3 Months...
She tried contacting me, but that love towards her and my ego didn't let me reply back to her texts or answer her calls. Then finally answered her call she was seriously pissed at me but then gradually talking for some time let everything back to be normal, She said me something which got me really happy that she broke up with Nasif J but then couldn't see her heart broken though L I understood that she was really sad she loved him really so much within a short while but then he broke her heart, I took advantage of it, I tried to make her smile and happy take her mind away from all the downheartedness. I always knew "It doesn't matter who hurt you or broke you down. What matters is the one who made you smile again".
Then days just passed by I started getting close to her. We started meeting up quite frequently we shared every bit of things which was happening in our life, I was really happy to see her smile because her smile Is what lighted me up. She was like sunshine to my world, Out of all the people her smile was my favorite... As this progressed like that my fellow mates started spreading rumors that I and Ridha were dating, it even got spread to her friends. When Ridha came to know this she was really pissed at me as she reminded me again we are just best friends nothing more than that But then I had no idea when will I tell out my love for her . The next day I was all busy with my project at my office and that night she called me up and asked whether we can meet the next day in a coffee shop next to her hostel. I was all excited to meet her as usual but then this time I was quite sure I won't be able to meet her because there was a project which I had to present the next day at my office though it was doubtful I didn't say her a no I said I will try . But then next day I couldn't meet her ,it was totally a busy day at my office I didn't answer any calls I got , when I checked my mobile I got 17 missed calls from her I was sure she would be quite pissed at me . Next day she came up to my home as it was a Sunday, we went out together on the way she said was going to tell me something I thought it would be that she likes me and shit... well I was wrong, she told me all about her family and about her dad and all that she is quite scared of her parents soon they will make her marry with someone. But still my day went good still after hearing all this. The Next day morning the first thing I saw was text message from my manager reach office sharp at 8:30. I reached there on time I had a shocking a but an expected news that I am getting fired from there eventually I had my saving with me which would help me lead myself until I get my new job all what I did was I called up my parents and said about this they were happy to know this actually which they thought would make me return back to U.K but then I had no plan of returning back there My heart was in this beautiful city of Bengaluru .
Anyway my parents did send me a good amount which would help me to spend on my stuffs , I was all busy searching for a new job . Most of the companies rejected my offer. My dad was very supportive throughout though he wasn't there with me in India he told me that try until you succeed but then my mom wanted me to be back there. Ridha too was a very big support for me through this situation she backed me up shared all positive thoughts which benefited to set up a good Morale .So out of nowhere Ridha came up with a topic , She said that "I am controlling Myself maximum But soon I will tell you out all my feelings" I was happy to hear that .. That day late night she texted that could I come with her till Mumbai to attend her cousins wedding stay there for 3 days or so... I was happy and excited to hear this but then 2 days later was my all-important Interview so I had to say a no to her with disappointment, she had no issues with it so she said no problem. So any way I decided to drop her to railway station next day and gave a good see off. She was very happy to go back home who wouldn't be happy isn't it . But I was feeling really low just because in my mind it was all that she is going to be far away from me and I was just hoping that she would return back soon I was missing her really so much, Next Day I went for the interview it turned out to awful again I couldn't make a hit in that company too, any way I decided to wait having a anticipation that soon my time would come to score again. My one mistake I did months back made me cost that much!
I was all in disappointment worrying about my career I was in desperate for a job which would really settle my situation. And next day Umer and Aditya came up and said they won't be in the city for the next 5 days as they will be having a training camp in Canada so eventually they also left I was all alone felt really so lonely . So any way decided to go to Mysore took Aditya's car drove till there spend a peaceful day there anyway thought to return. Called up my mom spoke with her for almost 4 hours all what she wanted was me to return back to U.K, I never bothered to reply that but then I said I will try getting a job in Bangalore itself . As it was already 4 days since Ridha left yet no info about her decided to call her up it was her sister who picked the call and said that her sister is busy like really busy anyway would tell her that I called. So I thought soon I would get call back from her it was disappointing that I didn't get back an return call from her , That day I received a email from Ea. Sports I already send them my C.V they were quite impressed with my qualification and asked me that whether I could join their company in U.K . It was again a choice of going back to U.K for me but then I replied their mail by requesting them time for a month so I could finalize my answer well I didn't want to tell about this to anyone anyway I kept in my mind that I won't be joining that, So I decided not tell anyone about this. So Umer and Adi returned back from Canada was happy to see them back, that day itself Ridha called me up I was really happy to see her call she said me that she got some amazing news to tell when she said that I was the one who was left with tears she was happy though , The amazing news what she had to tell was that she going to engaged to Her Ex-boyfriend Nasif itself she was really happy telling that news it seemed like Nasif parents came up with the proposal it was a good Muslim family so Ridha's parents decided to move on with the proposal and the groom was well educated too from their point of view . Her happiness was my sorrow after I kept the call I took flower vase and broke it ,Adi and Umer came up to me with all anger asking me what happened I said them all what she said , After hearing That , all that they could do was to console me nothing else other than that they could do . They asked me to forget about all what happened and move on, So I had to write in my book of love that I will never forget about her ever in life I maintained a diary since I met her writing everything about how much I love her everything but then now I decided to throw it in Bin and I did that so. Then came 2 days left for Ridha's Engagement I really didn't want to go there and attend it but then Adi forced me to come along side with him and Umer to Mumbai to Attend her Engagement, So before I left from Bangalore I made sure I wouldn't return back here again booked my tickets to U.K and send confirmation mail that I will be joining Ea. Sports but I made sure None knew about that . So we reached Mumbai to attend her Engagement I was in a heart sick mood didn't want to see her with another guy so then that day evening came all Worse Engagement I had to attend Nasif's and Ridha's first thing I saw on stage was her happiness standing with Nasif, I didn't want to face them hid all my tears within myself I decided to leave the place as I planned go straight to airport then fly from there to U.K.. My heart was out pouring standing in that hall huff.... It couldn't get worse for me standing, there it was feeling that you lost someone you loved the most , with all the tears
I decided to get out of that place without anyone's notice before I left I saw Adi handing over that diary which I disposed to Ridha I was in a shock that how did he get that disposed diary but then never felt like bothering , So with all the Emotions I left INDIA........................................................................................................................................................
*UNITED KINGDOM*
I was really happy to see my parents after a long time the same happiness they had too having to see after a long time . First few days in U.K went by like that then Decided to join my company everything was going very well for me it was like new life and an amazing one. 3 years went by like that in that span of time I created a new game which became one big hit, Which led me to get Best IT gamer of the year .. I was living my life in an amazing way then my parents came up with talking about my marriage they wanted me to marry My Dad's Business partner's daughter Saira, Well we used to be childhood friend's but then I never thought of living a life with her so as my mom forced me to meet her up, So then I decided to meet her up. It was kind of a date we spoke so much even talked about my love failure with Ridha she laughed about that when I said it , anyway it was well spend day with Saira but then I asked my mom for more time to decide and tell my final answer she said fine . During those days suddenly out of nowhere I got message from Aditya I was shocked to see that then very happy too... it was that he is going to get married and he invited me for that. So I Decided to go attend it again a trip back to Bangalore where I left everything behind. I Reached India Safely Bangalore was changed and more crowded, it seriously gave memories about Ridha but it was something which I never wanted even think about . The wedding day came I was very happy to see Adi and Umer both were kind of pissed at me but then friendly tight hug of us three solved everything, We three talked so much it seemed like they followed my success closely without my knowing I felt really very happy to be a part of that wedding that very time my eyes struck to the same girl that was Ridha, She saw me too we walked towards each other I was ready to ask my question to her.. And I asked her how is family life going on.. With a pissed of face she showed her hand asked can you find any ring in my hand well I said her "you might have left that at your home"
******She Slapped Me *******
Then she said all what happened after I left, The diary which gave It mentioned everything about her. She said "I thought of telling my love for you before I left that day I left but then I couldn't I controlled myself so badly then I understood everything how I meant to you how much you love me what more I had to thank Adi for handing over me that diary you mentioned every bit about me It , then I went to my parents and said out everything that I want to live with the one I love the one who will care of me and love me until death please allow me to live with him after everything and I begged them they said a YES , then I had no contact about you . you just disappeared to somewhere on earth there was not even a single info about you , Do you know though my small sister's wedding was done I just waited for you with a strong belief you would return for me one day and I hope the wait ends now here ,you aren't married right" she concluded .
With all the emotions and mixed feelings through my mind I Just hugged her tight and I never it go.
