Today....

Life is full of surprises, Ah! Why Me? Why it happens to me Mahadev? Am I your favorite child that you take test every time. This time, I will not let you win, I will win this time. Just see”.... Sitting in front of the God, tears rolled from Asha’s eyes and she brought all her frustrations out in one breathe.

Asha, Asha opened the door? I need to take my clothes... Asha’s Father banged the door from the other side.

Hearing the voice of her father she quickly rub her tears and quickly fix her emotions and opened the door with a big smile.

A few years back......

Asha and Rohit were school friends. They shared a great bonding, but with age and time they were separated and living their own life in their own world. Asha fell in love with Rohit slowly, when and where she herself dont know? But, she confessed her love to him. It was a teenage love, and hardly any teenage love get successful so as same with Asha. Rohit did not Say Yes nor NO and then the friendship remain silent for years.

In between, Asha’s life was full of tides and waves and she surpassed all these challenges in life.

Today.....

What happen? Why are you not ready? “Larke wale ane wale hai” go and get ready....Asha’s mother sounded excited. Asha’s marriage is going to fix with Sanjay and entire family was happy. Why not? Asha choose Sanjay as her life partner after all.

It is a great day for me, but I am not happy. Why?Asha looked at the mirror and asked herself while getting ready. Sanjay is such a nice guy, he has a nice job, own house. Then?.... (she lost in her thoughts)

A few months back....

While at office, Asha receives a pop-up in her Messenger:

“Hi”....

She checked the Messenger box and her eyes became big with a small smile at the corner of her lips.

Rohit!!!! She exclaimed and immediately respond to the Text. Then a few minutes chat started up with long hours talk suddenly. She was happy and at the same time Sanjay was there in her life.

Talks and talks and Talks bring all the childhood memories back. She was happy like never before. What about Sanjay? Should I say to him? But, Why? I am not cheating on him... Rohit is only my good friend now.

How are you? Asha asked

How are you? Rohit asked

Asha confirmed- Fine. Its been 7 years and you are a famous businessman now.” Finally, Rohit and Asha met each other over a lunch and it was the most sweetest lunch ever for Asha. Her smile was so pure actually her love for Rohit was so pure.

Next Day, Asha was at her office when Rohit called her. After a few words, Rohit said “I am settled now, can we be together again”.  “Will you accept me as your would be husband”? Asha was shocked and silent.

She cried, she cried, she cried a lot..... That evening

Her love was calling. But, Sanjay what about him? He is a nice guy and will keep me happy.  She was lying to her heart, she was lying to her mind. But she cannot lie her own eyes...

Are you ready? The boy’s family arrived. Open the door.... Asha’s mother knocked the door and she was back from her thoughts.

She opened the door and like all Indian mothers, her mother also kissed her forehead as said “beautiful”.

The phone rang, it was Rohit calling..... and Sanjay in the next room......

What will she do? Will she listen to her heart? Will she think of those years when Rohit left her even left their friendship? What about Sanjay? How will he react after he will notice anything wrong with Asha?

Readers, what do you think? Please share your valuable thoughts......
