:One Love:

Everything they do seems justified

Nothing seems to hurt you.

Everything they do is forgiven; the pain is worth enduring.

No matter what they do to you just can’t hate them, maybe because you love them.

She was there standing there all by herself on the old rickety wooden pathway leading into the sea, looking into the setting sun unmindful of her surroundings. The world around her continued to do what they do the best; look and proceed. Her face never gave away a thing, but those eyes were eager to say something, all they were waiting for was someone who would listen, who would lend a shoulder, who would help her to stand back on her feet- An Angel presumably, who could help her walk through her past, a past which she just couldn’t get over with. Maybe why she stood there daily looking into the sky trying to spot her angel. And she didn’t have to look up for long; this uncanny angel of hers came along, sadly not from the clouds because red bull never really gave him wings. At first, she had no clue if it was her angel whom she was talking to; to her he was just another guy or maybe a guy who shared the same interests as her and who was fun to talk too, nothing more. The angel disguised himself as just another being. It was time when they slowly started to hit off, gradually he started to cast his magic spell over//or maybe he thought so//, things started looking up for the girl, no more did she visit the beach just to stare into the sky, she went there to feel the waves kissing her feet and the to feel the breeze caressing those long tresses of hers. She started to realize all the fun that she missed. Initially he became a part of her day, they would spend hours together talking, He was her confession box, she would tell him all and he’d listen. She always came across as a clean slate, minimalistic and no non-sense girl. They seemed to love spending time with each other, their interests matched except for their views on sheila’s jawaani.

He started to doubt if she was “the one” and it wasn’t long before his doubts turned into belief. She was the sort of a person whom he always wanted but he wasn’t sure enough if he was the sort of a guy she dreamt about. He wanted this relation to culminate into the best-part of his life, more than anything he wanted “this” to happen. Although, he never wanted to make it clear to her until she was done with what her past had to offer her, until then he was happy doing what he did the best, comfort her. He was living a dream, until one day, they were at the beach watching the sun go down. In moments such as these they never really spoke instead they’d let the silence speak. He was just staring at her and he absolutely loved the way she looked, maybe it was light from dying sun which made her look gorgeous to the extreme, he just couldn’t take his eyes off her. “Do you love me?” she says turning towards him. She has been feeling it but couldn’t dare to ask him; somehow she mustered up courage and blurted it out. He was flabbergasted to say the least, what would he say, he couldn’t deny the fact neither could he accept it because he wasn’t sure if she would react favorably. He stared at her and slowly felt her fingers with his and pulled her closer and planted a kiss. She got her answer and now it was her turn to be flabbergasted, for her he was surely special, he made her feel like no one else ever did but at the same time she wasn't sure if she was done with her past for good.

Days passed by but things haven’t progressed any further but they have certainly changed whenever they spoke the thought of him loving her always crossed her mind and neither could she ignore it or he deny it. She couldn’t take it anymore it was killing her and she had to take a call on it, one thing that she was sure of was that she’d be happier than ever if she was with him besides she also had a past to get over with it and he was her lifeline. “I want us to give it a chance which we never gave it” she said returning the pending kiss at the exact same spot after 46days of hell and visibly enough his joy knew no bounds. The dream was only getting by the day for him, it was quite obvious since the girl of his dreams was no more just a dream she was his reality. Nothing really changed between them but for the love that was once hidden was much more evident now, miles separated them during the day but their thoughts kept them together. The nights never seemed to end without a kiss, it was beautiful and if he had it his way this is how he wanted it to be, forever.

It’s almost been similar for her, she could never take the separation even if it was for minute or for the whole day, she wanted to by his side all day. But this wasn’t all; there was something that was holding her back she felt if she was not doing the right thing. She tired telling herself that it was all fine but it just didn’t help, her past was still haunting her, no matter how much she tired she just couldn’t get over it. She knew it very well that it’s not possible for her to hold onto the past and live in the present. “I can’t do this anymore, I can’t seem to get over something that she been a part of me since long and it seems it will continue to stay so. I just can’t let lie to you and I can’t let you go through this. I’m sorry”. He didn’t know what to say, how to react. He was broken and after long he looked up at her and smiled and she exactly knew what that smile meant but she was helpless, it had to happen someday else it would have been impossible for her to part ways with him, he had become a part of her life.

For him it was different, he wished if he had never told her about it, the hope of her being “The One” was way better the rejection that he had to go through. He never knew why he loved her, he in fact never wanted to know the reason because he wanted his love to be pure and void of any reasons. He was a guy who never believed in love until she happened to him and now it was the very girl who rumpled his belief in love. Yet, he could never seem to hate her, maybe he still believed in love.
