Love - lost - Love

by Yogesh Agarwal   

Yes its true...the say to have a beautiful love life, you need to have a beautiful partner at heart and who is there with you always....there comes a time in everyones life where they get there better half at once and they understand at once that he/she is the right person for them and so it happened with Vivaan, one of the most popular boys of his school.He realised his love for a girl when he first actually noticed her at an annual function of his school and lost his senses at the very first sight...

It was 14th of feburary - Valentines Day and also the annual function of the school in which Vivaan studied..many others schools had also come to participate....and also came Vivaan`s love interest...after a long pause..and almost seeing her for an hour....Vivaan took a step ahead and asked...

"Are you from the "Martin`s" ? Vivaan started off the conversation on a formal note...

"Yes".. She replied,

"I must say your school has something in it..Every year you all lift the trophy"...Vivaan smoothed off the coversation,

"yeah... we actually work hard for it"..She completed the sentence,

"Anyways got to go and it was nice meeting you"... she ended there,

"Same here"...Vivaan replied on a sad note.

just as she had turned back and had walked a few steps.Vivaan realised he doesnt even knows her name...so he jus ran behind and stopped her way

"I m sorry but.. i didnt catch your name".. Vivaan asked her breathlessly

"Riya" she replied,

"Vivaan" he gave his hand for a handshake

and then she added "would you lilke to join me, I was going for lunch"

Vivaan agreed blissfully "oh sure me too feeling damn hungry"

this was the start of there friendship....the event continued for three days and all three days the two were together enjoying each other`s company...they talked about there lives ...the talked about people in their lives, etc...Vivaan thought he got his true love which he has been finding since years..he decided on the last day of the event he would propose her and like this three days passed.It was the day "the proposal day" but Vivaan also realised that it was the time to say her goodbye, he had tears rolling down and then one last time she came to Vivaan to bid goodbye...they both had tears but no one could have helped themselves..

"Take my personal number and we will be in touch" she just said this,

"I`ll miss u" she also added,

"and this is it i have to go" she ended there.

just as she was about to turn and go in not one second Vivaan went down on his knees and said those three magical words..

"I Love You"

he did not wanted to look at her, his head was down waiting for her reply...lots of things going in his head...will she say yes will she say no...yes.....no.....yes......no....yes

then came a reply from her "yes you idiot"

She hugged him again..this time it was out of love and concern...and bidded him goodbye, now this was the cutest part of Vivaan`s life that was going to start..she went home and no sooner there conversation over phone started..day and night the two used to talk 24 hours....It was magical!!! everything that was happening...Often the used to meet and also used to go for movies together..all in all it was a cute and perfect relationship....like this one year passed and again it was 14th Feburary - The Valentines Day and also the annual function day of Vivaan`s school...

He was really happy because once again he would get to spend quality time with her love. He was waiting for her eagerly and when she stepped in the school...Vivaan was on cloud 9..he rushed towards her and hugged her..

"So happy to see you" Vivaan started off the conversation caringly,

"And so am I dear" she replied cheerfully to him.

vivaan noticed her ignorant attitude but nevrtheless he was more happy with her presence but Vivaan never knew that this years Annual Function would change his life completely...It was Vivaan`s event on stage he was the lead in a play..so he wanted Riya to be there for him as a moral support but she wasnt there...the whole play finished but she wasn`t there...No matter he pulled off the play well..but more than the play he was concerned about Riya....he was constantly thinking about her...just one question in his mind "why did she not come" and jus after the play he started searching her...dint even changed his clothes and ran searching her....after a disappointing search he took out his cell phone and her photograph in it and started asking people by showing her picture...

"Have you seen her"

"Have you seen her"

and guess where did he find him...She was in the sick room..unconcsious...and vivaan was like crying crying and crying...the doctors checked her thoroughly and went out of the room talking to each other silently. Vivaan was not able to make out what has happened to her....he went out of the sick room and asked the doctors..

"What happened to her, Is she ok?"

"oh she is absolutely fine my child, after an hour or two she will be amidst you all" the doctors said hesitatingly,

Vivaan understood something`s wrong...and the doctors are not telling him the truth...

"Sir please tell me the truth, I wanted to know the truth"

the doctors replied back "who are u? and what is your relation with the girl? "

"i am a friend Sir, just a friend" Vivaan replied back,

"Go back child, and if possible tell her family members to meet us" the doctors told him,

Vivaan was really worried for her..he wanted to know what has actually happened to her....he again went and asked the doctors,

"I hope there`s nothing to worry about, right sir?"

"No No my boy nothing to worry about" the doctors replied,

In the meanwhile, Riya gained consciousness and she found Vivaan standing next to him smiling and also drops of tears in his eyes...

She was really happy to see him too ....it was not even a minute and she started asking him,

"How was your play?, sorry i couldn`t turn up for it"

"Not a problem honey, health comes first i am just happy that you are ok" vivaan replied,

"Come i`ll escort you to your room" vivaan said,

"oh so sweet of you" riya answered back.

just as they were passing by..vivaan heard the doctors talking about the case of the girl in room no. 112 and also heard that she is suffering from CANCER last stage...but he just ignored because for him escorting Riya to her room was the utmost priority at that time...and when the two were passing by room no. 112, Riya stopped and told Vivaan,..

"Stop! stop! Stop! this is my room"

Vivaan could not believe it...he just soaked his tears because he did not wanted Riya to know about it...but at the back of his mind he was broken and shattered ...he was just feeling sorry for her...he told her to rest and said he will b back in an hour..he straightaway went to his room and cried like hell....he started cursing god...he said,

"If it had to happened then why not me, why her lord! why?"

i dont know how will she react when she will come to know about this..."

The next morning Vivaan went to greet her....but she was gone..her parents came and took her home...it was obvious from yesterday`s event ..

"The doctors might have informed them about her illness!" vivaan exclaimed

from that day she did not spoke to him .... vivaan called her several times, may be thousand and thousand of times, but she was just broken....and after few days she rested in peace...vivaan`s girl was gone ...he would nevr b able to meet her again, she went and she was gone...

Vivaan did not fell in love again ...she was the definition of love for him...

Everyday he used to light a candle in front of her picture and used to say..

"I havent lost a special person instead have got a god."

"I love you and will always love you"

till date Vivaan loves her like always and talks to her when he is alone ...
true love never dies....he says....

"What do they talk" might b the question popping up in your mind...the same old things about their lives, about the people in their lives...she says she has everyone but not vivaan and vivaan says he has no one but only riya....its a presentation of true love...kuddos to there love...
