Happy Birthday Maha
A walk Together
Taani paused to look at herself in the mirror before trying the silver chain. Usually simple dressed Taani with almost no make up, whatsoever, wanted to do bit of an extra work for her love. This was their last date before their marriage.
A smile crept up to her lips at the thought of being known as Taani Anurag Ganguly.Soon she would be belonging to the man she always loved, about whom she always dreamt.
Drifted in the sweet dreams about future, she was brought back to her world with the ringing of door bell.
"It must be Onu" she blushed and checking herself for the last time she ran downstairs only to greet his driver on door.
Unaware of what was coming, Taani was just reminiscing the time they spent, the love they shared.
They were college sweethearts.
Anurag was one batch senior to her yet what none of her batch mates could ever got, he got ' HER FRIENDSHIP'.
~~***~~
Taani was a very shy cute little thing whom Anurag saved from getting bullied by seniors which marked the starting of their friendship and since then their days used be incomplete without talking to one another or seeing each other though just once but having the batch difference it was not possible every time to catch up but everytime Anurag used to manage somehow and if any day they would not meet, theirs chats would grow longer, with Taani telling him all her day activities and Anurag just listening to her on the other end.
Witnessing their blossoming love, time just flew and soon seniors were on their farewell night.
In turmoil to go or not, Taani decided to go for former and went for the night, she could not say him 'Good Bye' not now nor ever but she could not let him go just like that, as, being aware of his flight to London the very next morning.
Busy with crowd in posing for photographs or freeing himself from the girls around who were most affected by his farewell, he was looking extremely ravishing in blue denims and white tee getting beautifully complimented with a jacket.
"Taani" he called while making his way to her.
"Kahan thi tu?
You know I was searching for you from past 45 mins but there was no sign of you, the night was about to called off?" he questioned
"Onu woh...main..." she was fiddling with her words.
HOD came over the dyers to Congratulate all the students who passed out expecting them to do well in their lives and thanking them for being an amazing batch of students to be with.
Just when Taani found courage to talk to him, maybe for the last time, she saw him being taken to the stage for the last performance for the night perhaps for the last song of his college life.
And soon the music started to flow around and nothing existed but just him and his voice singing that song making Taani more aware of the coming moments where she would be left all alone, without him being around to help her, to guide her, to make her laugh and TO BE WITH HER.
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never Dreaming
Their favourite song, the first common thing they discovered about each other, with the song reaching to her ears all the memories, the time they spent together came back rushing to her like someone played a video clip making it more impossible for her to restrain herself from crying.
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are,
And I am suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
With every passing word Taani was trying not to let the whirlpool of tears that she had been stitching at the back of her eyes ever since she heard about him going, make their way down.
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Whenever she fell down, Anurag was always there to hold her and tell her that everything is fine and will always as long as he is with her and he will be with her forever, then why he was breaking his promise?
Why he was going like that?
And Life is the road
And I wanna Keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever a wonderful journey
She felt safe being with him, with him it never looked that she knows him just from few years, few months or few weeks but always that he is the only one she knew ever since she understood meaning of KNOWING.
Gathering up the pieces she finally made herself to look at him which she was avoiding when he started to sing afraid of loosing herself in his voice and world to know about the inner turmoil she had been going through.
She turned back to him to look straight into his eyes who has always been warmth towards her, full of love and affection or maybe just care from his side but love for her.
On the back wall, were the clips playing of all the times they had been together, every single moment was captured by him in form of photographs were coming and going with the flow of the lyrics.
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storys through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
There was no need of any other words now or there had been never, it was her who took long to register what they had shared was nothing less than LOVE.
We were strangers on crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
With those words playing around.
Taani finally found her place in his arms, she was with him and this time forever.
"Anurag Ganguly never break his promises" he smirked before hiding her in warmth of his love nest
"I Love you" was all she could managed.
Life never looked so beautiful until now, the usually coy Taani went in his arms in front of whole college, the moment was yet to sink in. Night had been called off and they barely conversed after that , relishing the feel of their new relation and how just in fraction of seconds they moved a step higher, their love for each other was known by them but never they understood what it actually means to be love of someone.
"Should we go" he asked " for like A Walk Together"
The night was perfect, they sky was bright with the twinkling of stars and the the luminous moon that hung higher in the shy.
Hands in hands under the blue moon light they were walking on the shore with water lapping across their feet and breeze flowing around them.
"In love you don't need words always to communicate" he smiled.
"But Onu..."
"I told you no words" she was interrupted
"I love you Taani" he breathed "I loved you ever since I know you, understood you, become friends with you"
"And I knew that I own that special corner in your heart"
"Be mine Taani, be there always but not for me" he said
"With me"
he added
Gently turning him towards her
She benevolently stepped on his feet and kissed him.
Giving answers to all his questions, setting her emotions free, sharing her first kiss ever.
Their bodies were mollifying into one, his hands found their way around her waist as her hands reached to his nape, bringing him closer, tenderly savoring the feel of the moment.Making the moment as beautiful as memorable as they could.
Soon they broke off as Onu lost his balance and both landed on the sand, hugging each other.
"Don't you think you should perhaps go on a diet" Onu teased her while laughing "I feel you have gain a lot of weight in past one year, Taani"
"Shut Up" she glared
immediately falling into another fits of laughter.
~~***~~
Taani was jerked out of her retrospection as the car pulled up next to the venue, she was expecting.
The beach was completely empty and was bathed in silver moonlight when her eyes found him standing under the white gazebo tent which was illuminated with the vanilla candles and beautified with flowers and valences.
She walked straight to the stairs that goes to the Gazebo and was welcomed with a note with a rose attached to it.
"Walk Slowly, reminiscing all the days we spent together as you come up"
At one step she unwrapped a pack to find 'Empty
Popcorn Tub', dated exactly 5 years and 7 months back when she went for the first movie with him and spent whole evening wetting his handkerchief, after that Onu promised himself never to take her for any romantic tragic movie.
At other she found 'Movie Tickets', one horror movie where Taani spent whole time hiding her face in Onu's chest.
Followed by broken pieces of vase which poorly became victim of Taani's anger when Onu forgot about his plan with Taani and on reaching home was caught sleeping peacefully on bed.
With few more sets of gifts having the shirt, Taani gifted him on his first birthday together, one knife of which Onu got himself hurt in attempt of cutting the onions for French omelette.
Crumpled coffee mugs, Pens and Books they ever exchanged, novels he bought for her and many other souvenirs.
Onu had collected all the memorabilia of their 6 year journey.
On the final step that last note read
"Now straight in my arms" turning her into 100 shades of red.
"Someone took extra efforts for someone special" he teased trying to register the beauty in front
She decided to stay silent knowing that naughty grin plastered on his face
"So? " he asked her while resting his chin on her shoulder and changing the topic
"What?"
"Liked the idea" he grinned
"How the heck you managed all this?" she asked baffled
"Anurag Ganguly has his own ways" he replied proud at his melodrama that convinced elders for this last meet before the wedding
Smiling at her cute fiancee's so called ways, she just turned to leave a quick peck on his lips.
"I am H-U-N-G-R-Y" she pouted in attempt of rectifying the mistake of leaving a peck as she very well knew about the consequences
"ohhh, wait, wait a second, don't tell me you planned this like our regular dinner date with some dance and..." he was cut in after earning a slap from Taani .
"Then..." she gleamed
Knowing too well whats going in her mind
"I know I owe you one last gift" he replied gesturing towards the table settled in the middle of the gazebo
She reached to find
Three phases of their 6 years long time in form of Photo Albums
'Just Friends'
Having the collection of all their college years when they were Just Friends, well for the world they were
'As Love Birds'
Having each and every memento from the day they confessed their love to each other to the day they got into relation of soon to be married
'From Engagement to marriage'
Having all the pictures from their family get togethers to their shopping day out and each and every function of the marriage which only brought them closer.
"Sounds so like your typical favourite movie" he remarked planting a kiss on her shoulder while Taani was just lost in the world of his love, not being able to comprehend that how can she get so lucky to have him in her life.
And Taani's broken sob got him out the senses
" No Taani" he rambled" nahi yaar I was kidding"
" I love you Onu...I love you very much" she sobbed
"This is all so perfect...you are so Perfect"
"Its because you are there to make our Walk Together perfect" Onu gathered the sobbing form of Taani in his arms kissing her at her lids making the moment perfect and a perfect start for their Walk Together as future Wedded Couple.
