"Is there anything bothering you? You can lower your burden. Maybe I can be of any help. Why don't you tell me? Well, that memory also brought tears to your eyes. What was it?"
"Why don't you ignore it? Just let it be. I don't want to answer your questions. But I can tell you one story.."
~~~~~
If you ask me what's the most beautiful moment in my life, then I would tell you about my first encounter with him. The guy who used to be alone. 'He loved himself the most', it was his first impression for me. But later when I started observing him I understood he was different. He wasn't selfish, he was just cold to other people. He was a frozen river, it was hard from the outside but deep inside many things troubled him. But still, he was pure just like that flowing water. He was the soul I wanted to connect with, forever. He was my first love. The view at the lake just reminded me of him. The weather just represented those days of my college. I wish to meet him again and confess the feelings I failed to express. This weighs my mind.
~~~~~
"Well you were going to tell me the story but you told me the truth.", Jiya spoke right after Aisha finished her words. She could sense how desperate she was to meet him. She could sense the longing of years to meet him. She was able to understand the love that Aisha and Tanay longed for and the wish to express their feelings always weighed them both.
"Well, it just came out. By the way, you are the first one to listen to it. No one knows about him."
"Ohh, it's my honour. But who was he? What's his name? How are you planning to meet him? I can help you, just tell me what I need to do!"
With a bright face Aisha replied, "Nothing, I don't need your help. Just keep this thing from everyone. And I won't tell you his name. I don't have any plans right now. Recently I am very interested in his story. I am trying to understand him."
"Have you already met him? Why didn't you confess yet? Well Aisha you broke up with Gaurav, so it's perfect timing. I am so excited Aisha!"
"I know but I haven't met him yet. But still, I can listen to his story from afar. I know his answer by now. But still, I intend to meet him, just to see him once. To see how he is doing, to see if he is happy, I just wish to know it. And you are so dumb."
"Wait, what have I done? Tell me .."
"Nothing."
"No tell na"
"Nothing baba... Well sleep for now, we'll be having a big day tomorrow. Have a tight sleep"
"I hate you..!!"
~~~~~
It was the morning. The sun was smiling to its extent. It was happily accepting the earth's heartfelt greetings.
"Aaaaa....", was a scream by Aisha . She almost spit out her soul. And thanks to Jiya for her situation.
"Ohh you scream so loud Aisha. My poor ears."
"Are you an idiot? You are looking like a ghost. Dark circles around the eyes, your eyes seem like they are going to fall. All your makeup has spread over your face. Haven't you washed it before sleeping? And then you glared with this scary face. It almost killed me. I almost had an attack."
Aisha felt a hard-flying hand on her back.
"Shut up!! I wasn't able to sleep because you didn't tell his name."
"Whose name?"
"Of course, of your first love. So to find his name I started analysing your words. And that's why I stayed up all night. And the conclusion is, he is, Tanay Patil."
"Are you sure? What kind of idiotic methodology you used to get this weird conclusion?" It was a cunning smile spread over Aisha's face.
"Then tell me who is he? It is making me restless. Can't you just tell me his name?"
"Why are you so eager? Just let it be. You know, I hate it when someone interferes with my life."
"So he was 'Tanay Patil'."
"He wasn't "
Jiya ran all the way teasing Aisha by his name.
"Ok, he wasn't Tanay Patil but he was him."
"Are you alright? What's with this weird sentence?"
"I mean he was the guy you are a fan of, but Tanay Patil isn't his real name. That's why I didn't know him. But when you told me the story I understood his real identity."
"You mean you knew the story already! I mean you knew him! So what's his real name?"
