Part 5

So her birthday was round the corner, and I had not made up my mind as to what to do on that day. I was not even sure I would be meeting her that day or not, because I was supposed to be in College manning some Obscure workshop taking place in college. It was first of those workshops and I was to be personally present. I was only accompanied by Mr LA on those two days and host of other students attending the workshop.

I had almost made up my mind that i would call her wish her Birthday and that was it, Nothing more nothing less. So the first day of workshop was the day before birthday and I was totally exhausted that day, somehow got the courage to get up in morning bathe and get back to college. i forgot almost everything else including her.
That day when the workshop started it flashed across my mind that it was her birthday and i was supposed to wish her at least. I took out my phone and dialed her number and godamn it, my balance was over. I had called 50 students, the workshop teachers and my bal was gone. Now what to do?
Enter Mr. loudmouth, I took his phone and sent him inside the Audi and dialed her number and finally wished her. She seemed to be elated at my call as if she was waiting for this one and asked if i could meet her that day. i said i will meet you as soon as the workshop gets over. I expected it to get over at around 12-1. So i was pretty safe for the day, i thought.

But my efforts to organize the workshop paid off and people were happy with it and took so much interest in it that it stretched till 2-2.30

I rushed off to see her the minute seminar got over. She was waiting for me. We went to the cosiest area around and had a great outing together.

At the place. we first had lunch and some greetings and all that hullabaloo usual stuff. I was still thinking what to say and what to do when this conversation happened
she: " You would not have come had i not called you? Isn't it?"
Me : " Nops, i would definitely have come, Par shayad itna bhag ke nahin (with an idiotic grin)"
She:" Kyon apni doosri girlfriend ke saath busy the kya?"
Me: in my mind "doosri to pehli kaun hai. Does she believe she is my girlfriend already? Oh wow. what.. aise kaise... ???
i was perplexed, stunned and did not know what to do or say. I was standing, no sitting, damn i do not remember whether i was standing or sitting, when all of a sudden she held my hand .

yes i was sitting. I then gathered some courage and said "no i would have rather been with my current girlfriend and that's you.
I love you dear"

I uttered those words and it was unplanned without roses without cards without any thoughts. I had no idea of what was in store for me that day.

So i was slowly regaining my senses that day eventually and finally i knew that she loved me.
We moved to some other location, she sat with her head on my shoulders, she was looking so cute that day. Her smile and her eyes were looking much sweeter . Then something happened i gathered the courage and bent a little forward and placed a peck on her cheeks . She turned up gazed in my eyes and held me tightly and whispered in my ears " I love you" . We sat there for hours and it quickly became 8 P.M. Never in my life I was with a girl till so late in evening.

But then we decided to leave and meet next day .Hands in hands we walked off. For the first time i hugged her, never felt so secured as it felt that day.
A grip so safe , so warm and so expecting filled with emotions and warmth of love. The feeling I can not decribe to this day. man i was in love.
"I am still"

We said good bye and left for our respective abodes to meet next day. The most wonderful day in my life had just come to a close.
And my facebook status changed from " single" to " in a relationship"
wow

enough for today guys signing off for the day with another few lines..
ounting our blessings and letting go of the past

Starting all over and making it last
Feelings and memories flow deep in my mind
Of those days our love was genuine and kind
Holding you close, feeling your skin
You look into my eyes and make my head spin
Those feelings are back, but stronger than ever
I know you're the one I wanna hold on to forever
We both smile again, nothing's better than this
wanting to Kissing you again like our second first kiss.
