My Life (Ahaana)

I woke up in my room the next day. I was amazed that I could sleep for full 16 hours. This was quite unusual.

I guess it was already evening and I could see the sun hiding behind the clouds already from the window.

As I climbed down from my bed and found my slippers to go to the restroom, I heard my mother talking to someone. Surely dad wouldn't be here right now. He wasn't so concerned about us that he would come running to ask for my well-being.

That's when I knew who it was. I hadn't met Neel since a long time so I ran downstairs without giving it a second thought.

I guess I looked exhausted enough but when i reached the living room, mom and Neel's face were full of horror or maybe concern. "Are you all right?" Neel asked as he quickly got up from the chair and hugged me so tight that I couldn't breathe.

I felt warm and safe whenever he was around. I wanted to be with him all the time. I was sure that no one else would be good enough for me than him.

My mother never actually stopped me from meeting him. She knew I loved him more than anything, everyone did except maybe him.

Although we couldn't ever make our relationship official because we both never confessed to each other. We were deeply in love, actually I was.

I didn't know how we were gonna end but at that moment I wanted time to stop right there so that we could stay like that forever.
