For....Ever

Past memories were flashing in front of Rosy’s eyes as she was resting on a couch, a Sunday evening. She was remembering how she met Sam for the first time; she was thinking about their first date, their first ride on bike and their first kiss. One could easily notice a blushing smile on her lips as she was recollecting her old memories.

Sam and Rosy were college mates, both were having same taste on various things and this made them come together. It was Sam who proposed Rosy and she accepted his proposal as she knew she can’t get a better partner than Sam. Their relationship was not like any other love couples relationship, they were quite different, and they spent time together without getting physical all the time. Kisses between them were to express how much one means to other not to satisfy their lust. Both were happy in their relationship and they knew they were not meant just for this life but for the next thousand births.

They fought, argue over small matters but they never got serious and later laugh together how stupid they were to fight over those small and silly talks. Life was like honey and roses everywhere.

As in this world sad and happy are brother-sisters, their life also took a huge turn whey Sam realized he is suffering from cancer. He didn’t want to inform about it to Rosy but he can’t hide such a thing from Rosy too. Rosy got shocked and thought Sam must be joking but she had to believe the bitter truth after she saw the doctor’s report. Sam had only 4 months on his hands and it was incurable.

Rosy never left Sam alone, they spent those 4 months being in a living relationship. And their living relationship was not like others, they just wanted to spend those last moments together. Rosy treated him as she would have done to her husband. Early morning she wakes up, make coffee for him and they would have their morning coffee together. Even then they were so happy being in each other’s company that they totally forgot about Sam’s disease. Sam too never showed any worries; he behaved as a normal being, loving Rosy the more he could do. 

They never cried, they laughed and smiled being in each other arms. Sam left Rosy some months later with a smile and a note;

“If not in this birth, sure in next birth, I promise it sweetheart we will be together; Love u forever…….”

Rosy never got marry again, she was happy with Sam’s memories. She never missed Sam, she always said that Sam is still with him so why to miss or cry……

His Mistake : He fall in Love

Room-301

That’s where Samar was; fighting with his life and having least chances of winning. It was totally a drink and drive case. Last night after consuming a lot more alcohol, Samar was riding his bike at a speed around 120km/hr. Meanwhile he lost his balance and slipped on the road after hitting the divider. He was thrown around 15ft. away from his bike after being hit. It was not the first time for him; he had met with accidents a number of times before. But each time he survived as they were more casual than serious, but this time it was more serious. After hitting hard on road, he had lost a huge amount of blood. He had been in the ICU for 2 hours where the doctors tried their best to save him. After the operation he was shifted to Room-301 and his condition still the same as before.

Neha ; A sweet looking innocent girl whom Samar loved more than anything else. No, she wasn’t Samar’s girl-friend, she was the one for whom Samar was living for. She was the only one for whom Samar really cared. But she was in love with someone else.

Samar never forced Neha to love him back. He was happy on seeing Neha’s smile. And what he wanted was Neha to be happy. Neha knew Samar loves her but she was helpless for him as she was in a relationship with Vikram.


It’s not that Neha didn’t like Samar, for her Samar was his best guy-friend. Although she had a little soft corner for him, she never expressed the same.
“who the hell told you to care about me?? I was happy with my life but you, Mr. Samar, you screwed my life just for your own selfishness. You beat Vikram thinking he will leave me but you forgot it is he whom I love and you are no one for me. Just get away from me...”

Vikram ; A rich spoilt brat or a playboy and more or less a typical bastard. He liked to play with girls, more with their bodies. He used his richness and sweet talks to make a girl fall for him and ends the relation after sleeping with her precisely after having sex. He didn’t find anything wrong in it, he was enjoying what he was doing; for him he was the best a girl could have.

Neha was innocent, she didn’t know about Vikram. She was in love with him or may be this is what she was thinking. She fell for his sweet talks but as day passed they began to fight for unnecessary reasons. Vikram hurt her many a times but still she was not ready to leave his hands.

It was on their first date when Vikram tried to kiss Neha. At first Neha hesitated as she was not ready for it but she had to bow down against Vikram’s stubbornness. It was deep but not passionate, Neha tried to stop him but he was too stubborn to buy that.

Finally Neha had to push him as he was trying to insert his hand inside Neha’s top. Neha at first got shocked at this behavior of Vikram. She had never expected that Vikram will try to do such things in their first date. 

She felt dejected.

This is how their first fight began. After the incident Vikram was razing in fire. He scolded and accused her saying that she doesn’t know how to love. And warned that if she does the same next time, he will not give a damn thought before breaking up.

She began crying. Again her innocence made her think that this is how relation works. She thought this is what happens when two couples meet. And she promised Vikram that she won’t stop him on their next date.

Vikram was still upset, as for him; he lost the 1^st round of the game.

Just after a couple of minutes after that kissing incident, Vikram was just about to light his cigarette when he got a big punch from a strong well built muscled fist. Before he could sense what’s happening he got another blow, harder than before. He was bleeding, blood was all over, and he crumpled on the ground. He tried his best to get up but the powerful man in front of him was giving him kicks after kick. After a countless number of kicks, finally it stopped as Vikram was coward to get up and hit back.

It was Samar who had made the shit out of Vikram. Samar was strong and the care for her love made him stronger than before. Samar didn’t beat him just because to show his power or never he tried this method to break the relationship between Neha and Vikram.

Samar knew how crook Vikram was. He was aware of the tricks Vikram plays with the girls and for him; Neha was the only thing who mattered. He wanted to save Neha and for that reason he always kept an eye on her. After seeing Vikram kissing Neha, he lost his control and decided to give Vikram something which he really deserved.

Vikram was nearly unconscious after beaten up by Samar. He was razing in fire and was thinking of taking revenge with Samar. But he knew facing Samar one on one will be his loss so he gave up his idea and called Neha.

Neha was already feeling guilty for making Vikram upset and after knowing about this fight she became more frustrate. She had feeling for Samar but she didn’t want to ditch Vikram.

It’s not that, Neha was in love with Vikram but this is what she kept on saying to herself and this is what she was thinking. She just fell for his tricky and sweet words and as time passed she realized what type of guy Vikram was.

When Samar came into her life, she realized what true love really is. She blushed when her friends teased her by naming Samar but she refused them by saying Vikram is the only guy whom she can love. For her, it became hard to choose between Samar and Vikram. Her heart wanted to be with Samar but her mind outclassed the heart.

After hearing about the fight, Neha got disturbed. She never liked fights; she was scared of such things. He felt pity for Vikram as he went black and blue after getting beaten up. She called Samar and before Samar could make her understand anything she vent out all her anger on him. She accused Samar for making her life hell. She told him to move away from his life.

Samar was badly hurt after hearing Neha’s words, her last words was buzzing on his head again and again. He cried hard remembering those last words of her,

Samar was riding his bike, he didn’t realized when we reached a speed of 100km/hr. Neha’s words and her smile was all over his mind. Bike was on 120km/ph and a screeched loud sound on that lonely dark road was heard when he crashed his bike to the divider.

Neha received a call from Samar at 2:00. She didn’t pick as she was burning in anger. The phone kept on buzzing a few times and a later message appeared which read, “Samar is admitted in the city hospital, please come as quickly as possible”

After reading the message Neha shivered, she felt numb, her thoughts made her sure that it’s because of her that Samar is lying on the death of bed. She began to cry, she realized it was Samar who made her realize what true love is and tried to make her life beautiful.

Within no time, she rushed to the city hospital. She enquired at the reception and found Samar is at room – 301. She was running like mad, she was getting out of breath still she didn’t cared for her own, she wanted to be with Samar for now and forever.

On reaching, she saw Samar lying and it seemed that the medical equipments are the only thing that has kept him alive till now. She went near him, took his hand in her own and kissed. Minutes later what she saw, made her dumbstruck. The machine which recorded Samar’s heartbeat had stopped. Samar was no more; he left everyone or may be the hurting words of Neha made him to leave this world…..

Neha had no other option but to cry and wished to die…..

She + Me = Forever Love

Facebook - a social-networking website does a lot more than just providing a medium to people to stay connected. One such example is, giving people an opportunity to express their feelings for their beloved.

The same happened with Simran. She literally had a huge crush on a guy named Ayush. They were good-friends, but Simran could never confess her feelings. 

It was during his AISSCE when Ayush got a friend-request from Simran's new Facebook ID. He accepted her request and then signed-off as he had to study. Despite the busy schedule, he used to take out time for his scarce leisure time for Facebook. 

During one such leisure minutes, Ayush logged into his Facebook account and found Simran online. He messaged her with a 'Hi!'. Simran's happiness leaped all bounds on seeing his message flashing on her laptop screen. She immediately replied him back. After chatting for sometime, he signed out. This casual chat went on for some days with intervals in between because of Ayush's exams. 

During one such casual chats, Simran expressed her feelings for Ayush. She said that she had a huge crush on him. But her heart knew that it was not just crush, but love. Ayush thought it to be teenage crush and tried manipulating Simran's mind saying that such crushes and infatuations are okay upto a certain limit and too much mental involvement would lead to distraction, which will not be fruitful as such crush won't last long. And in Ayush's opinion, wasting entire life for something temporary was not wise. Although Simran knew that it was not just crush, but love; she did not oppose him. She loved each and everything Ayush used to say. 

Ayush was heart-broken, as he had broken-up in December. He had made up his mind of never coming in relationship ever again. He said the same to Simran. Simran's heart sank, but she didn't oppose him or tried defending her love. She promised herself that she will help Ayush get over that girl and forget his past; not just because she wanted him in her life, but because she cared for Ayush and could not see him in such state. She wanted to make Ayush realize what true love is. 

And from then onwards, Simran's love for Ayush increased manifold. She used to take care of even the most minute things - like, whether he is wearing his spectacles while using his PC, phone, etc. or not. It was all normal for Ayush, but special for Simran. Days passed and they started enjoying much more in each other's company on Facebook. 

Once, Ayush found himself waiting for Simran to come online. He was startled at first but then smiled later. But his smile vanished when she didn't come online even after an hours' wait. She came online the next day and that made Ayush jump and hop with happiness. She replied to his older messages and then they started chatting. She called him 'Baby' that day, and he liked it. Ayush's heart was indicating his mind that he had already fallen for Simran but his mind was not ready to accept the fact. His mind constantly warned him against falling for someone. It is said that girls have power to bring miraculous changes. This applied to Simran as well. She changed Ayush's mind and he began to be sure of his feelings for Simran. Ayush thought to confess his feelings, but then decided to give himself some more time. 

Ayush used to go for jogging every evening. Once on his way to the playground, he decided to speak his heart out that day. He was constantly smiling while thinking of all this. He reached the playground, plugged in his earphone and started jogging. Five minutes later, Facebook Messanger on his phone played the notification tone of his phone and Simran's message flashed. He stopped jogging, paused the music, unplugged his earphone and replied her. Then after few minutes, with a bit of hesitation, he said that he loved her. He confessed his feelings in the simplest way, using the simplest words; but those words were most special for Simran. Simran's happiness knew no bounds. She just wanted to hug Ayush and she said the same to Ayush. Ayush naughtily replied, 'Shyah! I missed the chance! with a wink smile. And that marked the beginning of their relationship. 

Every love story faces problems. No love story goes perfect and without hindrances. Simran's and Ayush's love-story was not an exception. Just after 3 months of their relationship. 

Ayush had to move to another city for further studies. The day-and-night chats, texts, phone calls - reduced to almost zero. They were in contact, but got to hear each other's voice once in a blue moon. None of them were okay with this change, but none complained. They were doing this for their better future. 2 months passed. Ayush got a chance to visit his town. He told this to Simran. She was extremely happy. Ayush packed his bags and left for his town that night. The next day, Ayush was at home. He could not wait to meet her. He called her and they planned to meet the same evening. 

But the Nature played its role in testing their patience. Black clouds covered the sky and it started raining. They had to postpone their plan. This happened for 2-3 days continuously. Ayush, short-tempered by nature, was burning with anger inside. Fourth day after that evening, the Nature decided to let the two love-birds meet. Ayush called Simran and asked her whether it is possible for her to meet him. She happily replied with a "Yes!”. Both choose a place to meet. Ayush was there before time, as he could not wait to see his 'Wifey' - that's what he called her - his Wifey. 

After three days of continuous rain, the atmosphere was perfect. Cool winds blew all around; trees and grasses were lush green. The environment was filled with pleasant smell. The sights of distant hills were soothing. Ayush was enjoying the beauty of Nature while waiting for his Wifey. Maybe, three days of continuous rain was Nature's plan to provide the most beautiful couple a perfect environment to spend time together. 

Finally, she came. Ayush's heart missed a beat on seeing her. Though it was not for the first time that he was seeing her, but still he could not stop himself from admiring her beauty. For Ayush, she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Simran came and hugged him. Ayush hugged her back. Both kept holding themselves for long. Nobody wanted to get freed from each other's clutches. Their hug tightened. That was not suffocating, rather comfortable. Simran could hear Ayush's heart-beat. She wanted time to stop. Ayush was rubbing her arms lightly and she loved it. She smiled. Ayush kissed her forehead. 

The place was a bit crowded, contrast to the place they wanted to spend some time together. Ayush and Simran left the park on Ayush's bike for a picnic spot on the outskirts of the town. They reached and he parked his bike and started walking with Simran by his side and her hand in his. They started talking about random stuffs. Actually it was Simran who was speaking. Well, Ayush!? He loved listening her speaking. He was constantly looking at her lip movement. Simran noticed this, blushed and looked down. Silent prevailed again. 

They stopped walking. Ayush turned towards her. His hand was still holding Simran's hand. With his other hand, he raised Simran's chin. Simran knew what was going to follow and so she blushed. Ayush smiled. He tilted his head. Meanwhile, Simran raised her heels, wrapping his hands lightly around Ayush's neck. Ayush's hand was holding her waist and other hand was feeling her soft face. Simran closed her eyes and Ayush spent few seconds admiring Simran's beauty. He then moved his head forward, closing his eyes in that course. Finally, their lips met. It was their first kiss. After a long passionate kiss, they stopped. 

Simran was looking down, still blushing. She was too shy to look at Ayush. That innocent face of Simran made Ayush love her much more than ever. He hugged her. Both were much happier than ever. They kept walking around, holding hands, without speaking a single word. Ayush wanted her to speak. He could listen her speak continuously. So he tickled her. She laughed and that broke the silence. They talked, laughed, teased. They were extremely happy with each other. It started getting dark. Ayush suggested it's time Simran should return home. She unwillingly agreed. They hugged for last time before leaving. Ayush dropped her home on his bike. Simran got down and after exchange of goodnight kiss and 'I LoveYou', walked towards her home. Ayush stood there watching her go. He was happy. Ayush left the next day, with lots of happy memories. What followed was their eternal love for each other…….
