I was opening the wrapper of Kit-Kat, and she was staring at me with her beautiful eyes. Those were very wide open with curved eyelashes and the black khajal made her eyes look more beautiful. I offered her my Kit-Kat for a bite.
“I have my own….”she said with a singing tone showing her Kit-Kat.
I smiled and ate my chocolate. Her stare continued. It was strange but i understood that she wanted to ask or tell something.
“What….?” i asked in a low voice. She blinked her eyes and asked.
“You love me na…?”
I chuckled and thought why girls keep asking this question over and over again. She rested her head on my shoulder before my response. She held my hand softly.
“Don’t leave me… ever…” her voice sounded worried.
I held her hand tight “My love… why will i leave you? I will never… you are always mine…” I assured. I observed the glow of happiness in her eyes and we remained silent.
I know I can’t leave her. I feel she is mine but what if she leaves me? I was about to ask her but i couldn’t ask. It dazzled me because i can’t imagine that. I skipped asking her but my thoughts were continued. All negative instincts hit my mind like what will happen if she leaves me..? How will i be..? But… will she leave me..? Can she do that…?…?…? But I was left with no answer for those questions.

“Vikki….Vikki…”
I moved uneasily and irritated, to open my eyes.
“Hey Vikki… wake up buddy… it’s getting late….dude…!”
I opened my eyes unwillingly. Everything was blurred. I searched for my specs. I found them beside the pillow. I grabbed them quickly. Pranay was shouting at me while packing all the stuff in the room because we had to leave the place soon.
But my mind was unable to connect to reality. It’s still in dream. I could feel my heart beat as I was still seeing her beautiful face; but soon realized everything was just a dream. I felt heavy on the left side of my body and something warm flew beneath my specs.
“Hey…what happened..?” he reached me and tapped me softly. I got up and went to balcony, as he followed me.
“Gosh… don’t say that you are crying… what yaar… what happened?” he screamed.
But, i couldn’t answer him. My ears were listening something else, deep inside my heart it’s her smile. I didn’t know how to explain that to him.
He was surprised to see me like that. I tried to say something, but at last i murmured only one word, which is the most loving word for me.
“Meenu…..”
“What..?” he asked me in a low voice still confused.
