REALIZATION

Arjun asked Veer, "Do you love her?"

Veer didn't give an answer for that. I said, "Veer why are you silent? Tell us do you love her?"

He replied, "I don't know. I know her since few weeks yet I feel that I've known her for years. Whenever I see her smiling, my heart skips a beat. Till now I've never seen her crying, and I always wish that she should never cry. I've liked her the moment I saw her for the first time. I feel a strong connection with her. Whenever I look at her, I don't want to see anything else. I don't know what these feelings mean. I definitely don't want to lose what we have between us, but not now. I need some time and then we'll together explore these feelings. Till then I've decided to be friends with her."

Arjun replied, "What you feel for her is love. But tell me one thing clearly, why do you need time? What is so important in your life than her?"

Veer replied, "Right now I don't want to think about my life, that's why I need time." Arjun said, "When do you want to think about yourself? In your old age? Or after Anshu gets married to someone else?" Veer said, "No that's too long, I'll not wait until she gets married to someone else. I just need little time, till Misti finds someone for her. Even Anshu is ready to wait for me."

Arjun replied, "Don't you think that's selfish on your part. Anshu is a great girl, she'll understand and wait for you. But what about her feelings and her family. You want her to wait for you, even when you don't know where these ends. You're still not sure about your feelings, on what basis will she wait for you. What will you tell her? What will she gain at the end of the day? Leave all these things, tell me one thing. If your Misti finds someone like you and if he asks her to wait like you want to ask Anshu. Will you still allow Dhrithi to wait for that man?"

Veer said, "No, I would never allow her to wait for someone who isn't sure about his feelings" Arjun said, "Exactly now tell me, will it be fair if you ask Anshu to wait for you"

Veer replied, "No, but what should I do?" I said, "You stop thinking about my life and start thinking about yours. I'm fine Veer. For now, I don't want anyone in my life, I'm happy with you people. Please give me some time, then maybe I'll find someone for myself too. It's time you start thinking about yourself. Please don't hurt her, it's her birthday tomorrow. Share your feelings with her, date her. Then you people will know where this will take you both."

Veer said, "But Misti, how can I be happy with her when you're in pain" I replied, "Who said I'm in pain? I'm very happy. I'd be an idiot if I still think about him, also I've great friends like you people, then definitely I'll be happy. You stop worrying about me and concentrate on Anshu. Think how to make it up for her."

Veer hugged us both tightly and said, "I'll make tomorrow even more special for her"

I'm so happy for Veer, finally Veer found someone. We spoke for a while and then Veer left saying that he wants to make arrangements for tomorrow. Then we resumed our works, later in the evening Arjun came home with me to meet Veer. But he wasn't there and top to that he isn't picking our calls. I don't what is he up to. I've never seen Veer trying to impress a girl, I wonder what is he up to impress Anshu. I hope tomorrow turns out as the best day of their life.

Both of us got freshened up and was waiting for Veer. Veer came after half an hour.

I asked him, "Veer where were you? You weren't even picking up our calls." He replied, "I went to meet Vinod uncle." Arjun said, "Don't tell me that you went to tell him that you want to date his daughter."

Veer chuckled and said, "Yes, I went to tell the same." I replied, "Veer are you nuts? What did you say? And what did uncle say?"

Veer said, "Calm down you both, uncle knew about it already. Anshu has told him before coming to meet me it seems. So, he wasn't shocked seeing me. He was in fact happy for us." I hugged him and said, "I'm so happy for you Veer." Then Arjun also congratulated him.

Then I asked him, "Now tell me, what exactly happened when you met Uncle."

Veer said, "I went to his office, he was in a meeting when I went to meet him. I waited for fifteen minutes and then he came out of his meeting and asked me to come to his cabin. When I entered his cabin, he said,

Uncle: I didn't expect you here. What brings you here?

Veer: I want to speak something very important with you. I came here to talk about Anshu.

Uncle: What do you want to talk about her?

Veer: We both like each other and we want to date each other. I wanted to let you know. I don't want you to feel back stabbed.

Uncle: I'm very happy that you came to me to let me know about your feelings. Let me also tell you that I already knew about this. I knew that Anshu likes you, but now I got to know that feelings are mutual. I'm very happy for you both."

Veer continued, "Then later we spoke for a while. I was talking to him when you people were calling, so I didn't answer your calls. But I'm happy that uncle has no objections about our dating. I was very worried about his reaction."

Arjun said, "Why would anyone reject you? You're a great guy. They'll be happy to have you as part of their family." I asked, "Now tell me what did you plan for Anshu?"

Veer smirked and said, "That's surprise."
