Love Once More

Her mobile’s ringtone interrupts her thoughts. Unwillingly she took her mobile and looked the number flashing in the screen. The number was so familiar to her. Immediately she attended the call and remained silent.

The hello from the opposite side echoed in her mind. She was so nervous to say a hello even. Because after a year she is hearing the same voice she used to hear everyday is now once again back in her life.

He asked her why is she so silent?

She replied him a hello and tried to be normal. He said her that he’d like to introduce the girl he loves. She controlled her heart cries and said yes to him. He asked her to come online at once and hangs the call.

She don’t wish to see him with other girl even its online. She opened her id and saw a new notification she received. She clicked it to view it. It informed that she was tagged to a post in his timeline. She is clueless. She clicked it to go to the post in which she is tagged.

“My long wait has came to an end. And baby only you can make me fall in love again and again. My heart is connected with you. My love & hope brought you back in my life.

Love You Once More”

She is speechless and now this time it’s because of love & happiness in her heart.

No Love No Worries

After a long time, she got a chance to chat online with one of her best friend. The conversation started with formal blah, blah and blahs. But time has changed their friendship in some other way. They chat like they were still best friends, deep inside they lost the feel of friendship as before.

She asked about his life. He excitedly said he is in love again. She wished him luck and said she is happy for him and wiped her tears which flow automatically.

She remembers the day when he proposed her before a year in chat. They never met in person. She was so confused. She experienced heart break already. She doesn’t want to get hurt again in the name of love. She had a strong belief in “True love happens only once in life“. There were so many questions running in her mind. She gently rejected his proposal after much thinking.

She was not ready to accept the fact she is in love too. Slowly she stopped chatting and left him to forget the memories about him.

She made her heart strong and said him to invite her for his marriage. He happily accepted and asked, “Are you in love again?”

She doesn’t expect such a question from him. She replied him simply a “ :) “ and updated her status as

                                       “No Love No Worries”

A Secret Heart - Part 12

After a week, Maya came to airport with her parents to receive prithvi’s family. She was not interested in meeting them. But her mom insists her to do so. On the other hand, prithvi informed his mom that he has some important work to finish in his office and promised her that he will come to India on next flight. He dropped his mom in airport and rushed to his office.

Maya’s parents felt disappointed to see prithvi’s mom coming alone as they were eager to meet prithvi. Prithvi’s mom liked maya so much. Maya’s simple nature and traditional behavior never failed to attract anyone including prithvi’s mom.

They made the arrangements for engagement. Next day prithvi started to India. On his way to India, his mind was occupied by maya’s thought. He felt sad. But he had no other option now than marrying the girl as per his mom’s wish.

After getting ready, he reached the place of engagement on time. Everything was ready and settled. He rolled his eyes to locate the girl but he dint find her. After few minutes, maya slowly walked towards him. He felt her standing close to him. Both of them were nervous to see each other.

Prithvi took the ring and turned towards her with heavy heart. Maya raised her left hand to get the ring in her finger with teary eyes and she holds another ring in her right hand. Prithvi was too tensed and he dropped the ring on floor. He bent down to take the ring. At the same time, by mistake maya dropped the ring which she holds on prithvi’s head.

Prithvi’s thoughts were triggered the first meeting with maya in the bus. He looked up to see the girl and saw maya standing before him with worried look. Prithvi was excited to see maya and shouted “Mayaaaaaaaaaaa” in joy. Maya looked prithvi and she was speechless. She couldn’t believe her own eyes.

Everyone around them gave a confused look like what’s happening? Maya and prithvi hugged each other in happiness. Finally they exchanged the rings and officially get engaged.

A Secret Heart - Part 11

Maya and prithvi started to chat with each other unknowingly.

Prithvi: Hi, I don’t want to go long in our chat. I just want to know one thing from you. Are you really interested in marrying me? Do you like me?

                Maya dint expect such a question in an initial chat. She resumed the chat after a couple of mins.

Maya: Yes, I am interested. What about you?

Prithvi: Frankly speaking, I came to chat with you cos of my mom’s compulsion. Have you seen my photo?

Maya: No, I haven’t seen you yet.

                Prithvi wondered.

Prithvi: Then how you said ok to marry me?

Maya: Just for your name.

Maya’s reply surprised prithvi. He thinks, how a girl agreed to marry him without seeing him just by knowing his name only. He felt something.

Maya: Have you seen me? What’s your reply for this proposal?

Prithvi: I am ok too. Till now I dint even know your name and nothing about you.

                Maya thought, how come a boy accepted to marry her without knowing her name even. They both feel different. Meanwhile prithvi got a call and he disconnected from the chat.

Maya: I am maya. Atleast now you know my name.

                Maya saw her message is not delivered as prithvi went offline suddenly. She too logged out.

                They both informed to their family that they are ready to marry and proceed further. Prithvi’s mom called maya’s parents and told her they will come to meet and confirm the marriage proposal next week. Maya’s parents are happy.

                Prithvi refused to marry other girl cos he still loves maya.

Prithvi: Mom, how many times I have to tell you that I don’t want to marry now. Don’t talk about my marriage anymore.

                Prithvi’s mom insists.

Mom: You are my only son. Like other parents I too wish to see my son’s marriage. Please understand. You just chat with that girl once and I am telling definitely you will like her.  If you don’t like her, let’s stop proceeding.

“Hi this is prithvi, I hope your parent’s would have told about me to you. If you don’t mind, fix a time and inform me so that we can chat further to know about us well. Reply ASAP. Bye”

                He got a reply,

“Hi, as you said my parents already told me about you a little. Lets chat online today at 5p.m in detail. Thanks and bye”

Later prithvi came to know that maya got tc and left the college forever. He tried to contact her and failed in all his attempts. He was worried. Sruthi was happy and thought that now no one is there to separate prithvi from her. She tried to divert prithvi to her side slowly. But prithvi has no interest in sruthi. Time flew away. On the final day of their college life, sruthi came to prithvi.

Sruthi: Prithvi, I wanna tell you something

Prithvi: Tell sruthi

Sruthi: I don’t know how to tell you, but I have to tell you anyway… I love you prithvi.

                Prithvi was shocked.

Prithvi: Sruthi, you know I love maya, what rubbish are you talking now?? Don’t make fun of me.

Sruthi: Prithvi, listen seriously am in love with you… I am not joking.

Prithvi: you are my best friend. I can’t think of you more than that. I love no one except maya. I will find her again and bring her back in my life.

Sruthi: She din’t love you and she too know that am loving you…

Prithvi: What….? Maya knew it already? You are the reason why she left me without informing (angrily) now I know well.

Sruthi: Yessss, I told her to stay away from us and about our love. So she left.

                Prithvi gave a hard slap on sruthi’s face. Sruthi dint expect it.

Prithvi: Idiot, not our love… I dint think that you are so selfish to spoil my love. Because of you I lost my love and suffered these much days. Get lost, we are not even friends from now. Don’t ever try to contact me again. Good bye.

                Prithvi left. Sruthi burst into tears. She felt bad because of her selfish nature. She lost her best friend forever.

                She thought, “I did all this for my love only, but I took a wrong way to get success in my love. I shouldn’t have killed their love for my happiness. I deserve this… sorry prithvi I hurt you a lot by separating maya from you. I won’t come in your life again. I am going away forever”.

                  Prithvi came to maya.

Prithvi: What happened maya? Is she convinced?

Maya: Ya she is… hereafter no more fights between you and sruthi (smiled).

Prithvi: Thank you so much maya. You have made it for me.

Maya: I won’t let things get messed up between good friends like you and sruthi. Ok prithvi now I gotta go. Cya later.

                She walked away. Prithvi thinks of maya how she handled his problem as hers and took effort to clear it up and made everything alright for him. Next he moved to meet sruthi.

Prithvi: Hi sruthi (with a smile)

                Sruthi turned her face away to avoid prithvi.

Prithvi: I know still you are in anger. But I know how to cool you. See what I have got for you.

                He had two chocobars in his hand.

Sruthi: Chocobars to cool me??? Ok I forgive you but both are for me.

                She grabbed the icecreams from him and started to eat. Prithvi watched her silently.

Prithvi: Sorry sruthi. I never do such mistake again. Sorry for hurting you.

Sruthi: It’s ok leave it. Let’s forget that. But I have a punishment for you. You have to be with me all the time for the next two days. Will you?

Prithvi: Oh this much tough punishment I dint expect (he acted like being sad).

Sruthi: Huh spending time with me is tough for you? (angrily).

Prithvi: Cool cool… I will spend time with you for next two days. Ok now?

Sruthi: Hmmm ok.

                Sruthi gave one chocobar to prithvi. They happily had it together. Maya watched everything from the distance and thought she should be away from sruthi and prithvi as she didn’t want to spoil their happiness.

                Next day prithvi searched for maya everywhere in college. But he couldn’t find her anywhere. He asked to sruthi about maya.

Sruthi: You don’t know really? Or acting to me?

Prithvi: What are you talking? (confused)

Sruthi: Maya is absent today. Dint she inform you about it before?

Prithvi: no she didn’t inform me. Why she is absent today? Is she alright?

Sruthi: I don’t know. I told you to spend the day with me. But you are searching for maya here and there. Don’t make me angry again.

                Prithvi was confused and lost in thoughts of maya.

Maya: Because of meeee? (shocked)

Sruthi: Yes….you are the one who came between me and prithvi. He is not my friend. I love him so much. After you came in his life he changed a lot. If you really want to help us to be together then just get out of prithvi’s life.

                Maya was so silent after hearing sruthi’s words. after a while,

Maya: Sorry sruthi, I am unaware of your love with prithvi. I will never come between you both. Bye sruthi.
