Ek Ishtory ---height of vehladom

He always admired her.
Loved her.
But could not find the courage to tell her.
And she perhaps knew it.
Yet remained silent.
Both sit together,worked together,ate together.
He was always thinking of letting her know by some means.
Always failed.
She enjoyed his constant attention.
She always did.
But she was not to be the first to tell.
It had to be him.It always worked like it only.
With time,the things started becoming more difficult for him.
Work pressure,unsecure future,competitive world all were eating him.
She stood like a pillar behind him.
A strength.
Both shared their frustrations,their hopes,their dreams except for that one li'l and most important thing.
Both wanted to.
But...
It seemed that they didn't care for anybody else,anything else.
They and their small world,protecting each other,blossoming in their relationship.
Carefree...Happy...
And then it came.
It was like a storm.
She was going to be engaged.
Getting married.
There were tears in his eyes.
He did not know what to do.
Could not sleep for many days.
She called him to his house next weekend to meet him.
And they lived happily thereafter.

Real life stories are not that simple and in most cases do not end in the same happy ending.
They are complex,much more complex.
Lets talk about that in the next one..
