Chapter 8
9 chances out of 10 this won't make very much sense...
The title comes from Shakespeare's play 'Romeo and Juliet', the balcony scene. However, this drabble has NOTHING to do with Romeo and Juliet :P
ArHi Drabble |What is in a Name?|
The first time he meets her, she asks him questions.
What is your name?
Arnav.
Who named you that?
My mother.
...She loved you a lot.
...How do you know?
She named you 'Arnav', didn't she? That means 'ocean'. It means that she thought the world of you. It means that her love for you and her hopes for you are as vast and as depthless as the sea.
...What is your name?
Khushi.
It is only several years later, and they have grown from the teenagers they used to be to the adults they have now become, his wife slips her dainty fingers around his numb ones, and he feels her grip them reassuringly and tug him forward, that he realises she had given him the answers as well.
He draws in a deep, bracing breath, steels his nerves and ignores the racket his heart makes, and hands entwined with hers, he braves his way through the gates of the graveyard he had never been able to set foot through since he had been fifteen.
To make up to his parents for not visiting all these years.
To tell them he loves them too.
To finally meet her parents.
To thank them for giving him Khushi.
Hope this isn't TOO weird or random...I blame exam prep for it!
