Essence of Love-1

Aryan's friend Jay asked him and Ayra," First of all you guys tell us how the love proposal happened?"

Ayra told Aryan to tell them about the proposal and she sat beside the bed Aryan and placed her head on his shoulder.

Aryan said," you people know that I used to write stories. On may 18th a few years back, I asked Ayra to narrate a story for me. she refused to tell first but I forced her to tell me a story. She thought for some time. She started narrating the story. The story is about a boy and a girl. She told me a few incidents between us. Finally, she said the girl loves the boy, but she fears to express it. Whenever the boy proposes to that girl, she rejects him by inscribing lots of love from his words in her heart. Even though there might be problems with her family, she wants him to guide her life and to be the king of her life. She doesn't want to lose him because her heart was melted by that boy's love. But the boy can't understand the girl's love. When Ayra told this, I stopped her and told her that the boy might fail earlier but now he understood well."

"Then I can't resist myself. That was the moment I long waited for. That came true on that day. I took Ayra in my hands saying to her that I love her more and more. My eyes got wet with happy tears. My heartbeat fastened. That moment I felt like flying through the cool clouds during pleasant sunlight. I felt like laying and rolling on the powdered snow in summer. Then I hugged her." said Aryan.

They all at once took their attention on Ayra and asked her surprisingly, " You both have hugged each other!!".

Ayra with a childish tone said," He hugged me. I didn't hug him. My mind froze at that moment. I don't know what happened. But I can feel that moment. I felt our souls combined and our heartbeats became simultaneous. I felt like I have had two hearts beating at the same rhythm. Then slowly Aryan lifted my head with his cool palms and kissed my forehead. My heartbeat increased suddenly. I wished to shout loudly to express my feelings. But I restricted myself. My eyes got wet with tears that I restricted this much love for years. Then I came out of the trance and hugged him in return saying to him that I love him more and more."

With a dull voice, Ayra said," Things went on good from then. Very few members knew that we both are seeing each other. Later because of one moment everything had been changed. I don't know even now why he had done like that. But I didn't realize then. So we distanced ourselves for a few days. Later I realized and then we get back into our relationship. Love is just the advancement of our Friendship. After that incident had happened I told him that it better we will be as best friends not to be as lovers. But he proved that my statement is false and now we are like this".

Aryan's mom asked her, " even Aryan didn't tell me about this. Will you tell us what happened?".

Aryan said," Memories weigh the heart when they are bitter and make the heart lighter when they are sweet. Better leave that bitter incident. We don't want to recall that ".

All were in a happy mood. Leaving Aryan to take some rest they moved out. Runa went near Aryan and greeted him for his success in love. She asked Aryan," I am happy that you have finally got succeeded, but I want you to ask one thing Aryan. What's the story behind Riha? You loved Ayra a lot, so why did Riha come between your story?"

Aryan said," That all the tragedy is for my sister Anya. For her, I started and ended when my work had been completed. I think this is enough to tell because I don't want to share this with anyone even with Ayra. Let this be with me Runa".

Runa exclaimed a doubt," For your sister!"

"Yes, because she is the only accepted sister in my life and I love her more. When all left me she gave me a light of hope by being by my side. Though she realized later, she realized finally.

I never felt sad when all left me Runa but I felt the pain when she misunderstood me", said Aryan.

"Does Ayra know all these?", asked Runa.

With a short smile, Aryan answered," No she never asked me and I never told her".

"Anya is unique relation to me, So I never used to call anyone else other than Anya as Sister", said Aryan.

"That's good to hear. Then what about Ayra?", asked Runa.

"Ayra is the queen to my heart, my everything. My blood carries love on her as she was in my heart. For her, I started and For her, I end. I love my life because Ayra is in my life. I love her because she is my Life. Aryan without Ayra is a body without the soul. The soul may exist without the body but the body can't survive without the soul." concluded Aryan...

Calling Ayra, Aryan said, " Many people walked through my heart but no one left their footprints like you Ayra".
