The Last Meet...

Aman wanted to show how much he was thankful to nidhi, the smile which was on aman’s face was only because of her. She came up like the sun after a stormy rainy night. It was their first meet but seems like they know each other very well from a long time. They were in touch of each other from last three months but only with Facebook and WhatsApp. Even being an introvert aman was not hesitating before Nidhi as in front of other people. Lack of good friends and company made Aman of this type.

That was the last day of nidhi, not only in Delhi, even in India. She was leaving India for life. Aman was unaware of that. They don’t have any plans to meet on the last day. The behavior of aman on their first meet made nidhi crave for their last meet.

"R u dere..???" NIdhi texted him but he did not replied. She sent some more messages but they were still get unreplied. Finally nidhi called her. But Aman didn’t pick the call.

“I am in the nearby mall of your place. Come soon as possible... It’s urgent…” She texted him.

Aman called her after 30 minutes of the last message,

'You jerk,' the first word came out of mouth of nidhi after she picked his call.

'What happened! I was in class and my phone was on super silent mode. Apologies for that. what’s the urgency that u want to meet me without any plans?' He inquired.

'I’ll tell u but first come here,' nidhi said.

'Are you still there?' Aman asked surprisingly.

'Yuppp! and waiting here from last one and half hour for u,' nidhi replied with bit anger and bit needy tone.

'Ok! m leaving my class, will be there in next 20 minutes.'

Aman had no idea why she wanted to meet him all of a sudden. He didn’t know about that it’s her last day in India. Aman took the first metro came in even it was so crowded that aman would never board in it but he don’t want her to be upset.

He reached there by the expected time. Went inside the mall. He started searching for her but did not call her. He wanted to see whether she was really waiting for her. He saw she was sitting in CCD, lonely and ended up 3 cups of coffee till now. He rushed towards her and grab the seat opposite to her. Her nose was red with anger but her eyes wet.

'You want to have something?' Nidhi asked giving him a terrible look.

'NO! First tell me what the urgency was?'

'Thanks for being here. I don’t know why but I just wanted to meet u. I know it doesn’t make any sense.'

'Is everything alright!' aman asked nidhi with caress tone.

'Aman, this is my last day in India.' she said. Her voice lowered.

'What? And you are telling me this now! Aman cried with his eyes wide open.

"I don’t wanted to let you think about me. I am leaving forever.'

Aman face hung down. He wanted to cry but he can’t. He was so expert in controlling his emotion.

He took her hand in his. Held tightly and told her to come with him. Nidhi started walking with him without knowing where they are going. He took a rickshaw and took her to his room.

'Where are we?' Nidhi inquired.

'First come in,' He unlocked the door and welcomed.

'Wow! It’s wondrous, which place it is?' The excitement was clearly seen in her eyes.

'It’s my flat'

Nidhi moved towards the bedroom. When she entered his room there were all lights turned off. She saw the roof of his room where so much glittering stars and a big glittered radium moon sticked out. It felt like it was an another world of aman.

Aman entered his room and turned on the light but nidhi told him not to do so and keep the lights off. She took his hand in her and gave him a half smile, the smile was saying something to him. The urge of her to not let her go, to be with her all the time and may the time will not pass like sand in hand till they are with each other. She let him sit beside herself. She was still holding her hand like a kid who is scared of being alone in throng.

They both were silent. They were just looking at each other still holding hands, curiously like they wanted to read all their feelings in eyes. The expectations from each other was clearly seen in their eyes. With the passing time they were coming close to each other. The blank space between them was lessening with the passing time. They were lost in each other eyes.

Some while after the distance between them was vanished. Aman’s hand was on her face now. Their eyes closed. The red smoky lips of nidhi met with aman. The kiss was passionate, intimate and like they were in love. It lasted around 1 minute and nidhi opened her eyes. She pushed him like he was stranger, took her bag and left the house without uttering a single word.
