...ok...go! But I don't understand ur habit!
...and U need not to be! ---saying that she just ran from them!

Nidhi!! Nidhi mathur!
She often walked alone after sun set. And all wonder why she always did this. It was because she consider it the best time to relax
and think. One could not imagine the number of people that walk purposeless as she did. She was able to read their faces for reasonsfor walk. The close friends she had, considered her habit pointless.
But How they could understand? They need to experience evening walking to understand her feelings.
she liked to walk on one street that goesby the river near her house and then across bridge it goes into the city. It is a very busy street, but when you are walking at the same place every night, you start to see more people who walk like her at the same street every night. Nidhi felt as if she knew these strangers even though she never talk to them. Every night they had different face expression. Sometimes they were sad and sometimes they were happy. Their expression allowed her to see into their life and she was living it with them. She was sad, happy, or excited
along with them.
During one of that night walking while she was taking her usual route, she met her true love. At first she was concerned because he had the very sad eyes. She was nervous about him, but then her anxiety grew into interest. He wore those sad eyes regardless if he had a smile on his face. She was very curious why he is the way he is. What reason did he have for never having happy eyes?
Time went by and she kept seeing him every day during her walks. She learned the type of clothes he wears, what things he does not like and what he does like. She learned his reactions to certain events. Based on what she learned, nidhi knew what kind of person he was. She knew him like her self, even still she did not know his name.

One night they walked into each other,and he looked into her eyes. He kept lookingfor some time, and she kept looking into his eyes. Then he turned around and walked away. But nidhi stood there watching him walk away and she realized that she love him. She loved every part of him; from the sad eyes to his feet. Hewas not perfect, but she did not care, she loved him.
As time went on she gained a new purpose for walking every night. She walked just to see him. She followed him, where he went. She was trying to look in his eyes. She was not sure if henoticed her. He had no reaction to her at all.
Nidhi thought that he realized that they took the same path, but maybe he did not realize why he saw her often.
A year passed in this pattern. Her loveonly grew stronger and sometimes she had theurge to approach to him and at least to say
hello. But she never did so. He probably wouldnot understand, and she could lose him forever. She could not do that. This fearful thought was stopping her.
One night, very warm one, she was hoping to get out to cool down from the heat and to see her love. Though the night was not as cool as she thought, she had to fulfill her desire to see him. She was walking around for a while, but can not find him and she got even stronger desire to see him.
And her wish came true. She found him.He was sitting on the ledge of the bridge. A dangerous position. Thoughts raced through nidhi's head. All the sudden, all she knew about him and his sad eyes made sense. What if he…? Nidhi could not live if he does that.
she came to him from the back and put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't."
Simple yet, effective.
He turned to her and looked into het eyes. This time his eyes were different. They were finally happy. Nidhi smiled, and he did too. He got off ledge and took my hands in his hands. He moved his eyes to her hands and looked down at them for some time and then he kissed her palm.
. Her love bloomed and heart started to sing. Nidhi felt pleasure as his lips touched her. Time vanished for her. It was only she, him and the empty universe.
After that night she learned his name and his life story.
...Ashutosh!!!
she discover all the missing pieces of him. The main discovery was learning that he loved het as she did him. He had loved her for a long time. He was sad because he was not able to declare it to her.
He walked every night because of nidhi. That night , he wanted to jump in the river to not experience unanswered love. When he felt her hand on his shoulder and turned to see,he saw love in her eyes.
They walked with love in their hearts and almost lost it. Now they are together and will be together always!!!!!
