44 Waited for a thousand of years ..

"Can we go to the beach today ?" Unlike other days , Ronn got to choose the destination as he was wounded . "Hmm .. fine , but Ronn, there aren't any beaches in Banglore ." Tara said confused . "Let's go far away ... "

"But u r still unwell .."

"It's a wish of this unwell .. " Ronn said making a winsome face .

"Well .. fine .. but we can't return back today if so . " Tara said staring at him in confusion .

"That's fine . Uncle can come with us . "

"Always ready for this stupid boy " Tara said giggling . Ronn smiled . ' Its my last chance to express .. first and last maybe .. Or should I really think about it twice ? Well , but I have already thought about it a million times .. ' Ronn thought to himself .

"Hey , as you have decided the destination , tell me which beach would you like to take me to " Tara asked googling the beaches near her .

"Maybe Tannirbhavi .." Ronn said after gazing through the Google searches for a moment.

"Good choice I guess . It's relaxing out there ."

Tara said inhaling peacefully .

Ronn smiled . He held her through the shoulders and moved a little closer to her .

"I also don't know if I'll ever get a chance to take my Angel for a trip here after .." Ronn said breathing out in dismay .

"Come on Stupid .. I am always here .. " Tara said slightly punching his stomach with her elbow . Ronn winked and smiled at her .

"Now let me pack my things . We better get going " Tara said and left .

**********

Tara have been playing with the waves for long . Ronn watched her play so happily and joined her now and then . Tara wore a black crop top and shorts with off white floral printed fringed shrug . It suited her perfect curved body. Ronn wore a black T-shirt and stretched jeans . Tara's wavy hair is what attracted Ronn more than the waves. He did helped her keep them behind her ears often and it maddened him more to watch her eyes through the hair strands while the setting sun added a golden sparkle to her eyes .

"Uff I'm all tired now .. " Tara said panting heavily . "Come , sit here for a while , " Ronn said . Tara sat near Ronn over the sandy beach . The wet sand covered all her legs and dress . The two souls sat next to each other ; One happy and the other sad . The blushing sun was about to dive deep into the ocean.

A ray of silence spread between them . Tara spoke after a while .

"I love beaches .. It have a lot more stories than anywhere .. Few sad stories , few bright , few happy .. " Tara said without meeting Ronn's eyes . Ronn sighed but said nothing for a while . "I really wish the day never end .. I want this moment forever .." Ronn said . Tara smiled gazing his black eyes . "I kinda have a feeling that this moment is so special. " Tara said placing her right hand on her heart . The cold breeze reminded Ronn that the day was about to say goodbye .. After a moment's silence Ronn looked straight to Tara's eyes and Said " I love you " That look pierced Tara 's heart . But Tara automatically replied "I love you too Ronn . " Ronn's heart melted . A large wave rushed near them but gently babbled their feets and vanished back . A stroke of intence excitement filled his soul . "Really !?" Ronn asked in that excitement . Tara simply nodded . Ronn sighed . "It's my misfortune .. I think i am the most unluckiest " Ronn whispered to himself but Tara heard him . She looked at him puzzled . Ronn suddenly kept his hands over hers and Said

"I wish you never came to Bangalore .. I really wish you stayed forever with me , since the first day I met you in the class , with pink cheeks and bright eyes .. I can't loose you Tara , you are mine .. I wish you are just mine .. " Ronn held her hands close to his heart and Tara was sitting there all confused.

"Ronn .." Tara whispered .

"Tara ,please listen , These are from bottom of my heart ; I hid it from you all these time , but not anymore .. I want to come out of this suffocation and frustration . I don't know how you're gonna take this .. but , I love you Tara .. I really really Love you so much .. " Tara looked straight to his eyes which were half teary and she looked it almost with a surprise . Those were the same words she heard all these years but it sounded different this time . Tara suddenly turned back to the 15 year girl who saw Ronn for the first time . She froze in that moment but suddenly Karthik's face glimpsed infront of her eyes and she gained her consciousness . She pushed away Ronn's hands from hers and stood up to leave angrily . Ronn felt a sudden shock and felt that his world can break to pieces the very next moment . He couldn't feel the floor beneath him. A plunge of sudden pain rushed his heart .

"I didn't expect this from you Ronn .I better leave " Tara said trying to calm her voice down but it surely had pain and angriness which she couldn't hide . Those were the only words she said and she walked away without even once turning back . Ronn felt the whole world vanishing at that instant. A sudden silence filled the busy atmosphere . The world must have stopped . His happiness walked away along with her .

"She should have atleast slapped me .. This is hurting me even more .." Ronn said immersing his face in his hands . Even without his knowledge , tears rolled down his cheeks . Whole world came back to normal infront of his eyes but the pain remained . In the busy world , for the very first time in his life he felt awfully lonely . The world seemed empty for him . "I have lost her .. My Angel .." He whispered to himself and wept . Breeze swayed across his broken heart and the sun had completely dived in the ocean , which for him seemed like. forever - dark !!
