I watched her as she continued walking. A moment later, she noticed my absence beside her and stopped. She looked back, puzzled. “What happened?” she asked, raising her eyebrows. I was looking at her. Say it. Say it, Neel! Someone was speaking to me. Aditi was standing there, looking at me quizzically. “Nothing, I just stopped to tie my shoelaces.” I shook my head. IDIOT!! The voice said. “Okay, let’s go.”Aditi smiled and turned away. “Aditi!!” I called out. She turned. I jogged up to her. “Umm… I have something to tell you.” I said. “Yes?” she asked. I looked around us. The road was empty. The yellow street light filtered through the trees and lighted up the road in a netted pattern. We had left the bustle and excited chaos of the grounds far behind us. The breeze whistled into the calm night. I took a step closer to her. Her eyes fluttered. “Aditi!” I said, looking straight into her deep, dark beautiful eyes. She kept quiet. “Aditi, I first saw you in the concert on the last day of the fest. Truth be spoken, I could not take my eyes off you that day. You looked so beautiful, so serene and calm. And, when you smiled at me and turned away, I realized you had taken my heart with you too. I have never felt the same with anyone the way I feel for you. And, my feelings for you have only become deeper over the days that we have spent together. I realized your heart is as beautiful as you are. I have been unable to stop thinking about you and I just had to say this today because I don’t want to lose you. I want you to be mine forever. Aditi, I… I LOVE YOU.” I stammered. I was literally shivering by the time I was pouring my heart out. I was still looking at her when I finished. She was still quiet. A million thoughts were rocketing past my head. There! I ruined our friendship. Now, she’s never going to talk to me again. I am never going to be able to meet her again or spend time with her. Why isn’t she saying anything? She must be thinking I betrayed her friendship. Oh god! What did I do? She remained silent for a minute and that one minute seemed like an eternity to me. Neither her eyes nor her lips were conveying me anything going on inside her heart. I was getting restless with every passing second. “And, I thought you are never going to say it!” I heard her speak. She was smiling. -aBBy-
