He was…
A wanderer
A son who had been rejected
She was..
A simple bespectacled girl..
A daughter whose parents abandoned her…
…And on one blistering day, atop arickety crowded bus, they met. She threw out her hand to steady herself,grasping his in the process. On that sunny day, as their hands entwinedbriefly, was the start of a beautiful love story …
He was…
An ajeeb stranger who told her it was okay to cry
She was…
An angry chorni, who always did the right thing…
…They kept crossing paths, unaware of the turn their lives were about to take –she knew what she wanted, andwasn’t afraid to demand that….
He was…
The one who told her you need to give life a chance
The one who was becoming her friend in this chaos
She was…
The one who deserved all the happiness
The one for whom he went an extra mile to give her that.
...and in that process,
The one who very gradually made a place for herself in his heart
… And one day when he was asked to paint the one his heart saw when he closed his eyes, it was her face hepainted. She was in a courtship with his brother, and he knew his growing feelings for her were wrong in the circumstances.
He was…
The one for whom she would fight with fire
The one whose painting was important to her because it was important to him…
More than her own life
She was…
The one who jumped into fire for him
The one he couldn’t see in danger
The one he risked his own life saving
… and, after he had handed her over to his brother, the flame raging aroundhim, but a sense of serenity spreading through him, as he could finally namewhat he had felt for her.
She was…
The one he had fallen in love with.
He was…
The one who got her new glasses, when her old ones broke.
Because the glasses were a part of her – she felt incomplete without them.
And he completed her.
…and she fell a little in love with him then, only she didn’t realize it.
She was…
The one whose sense of self respect inspired him
The one he wanted to protect, from the harsh expectations of the society
….and she called off the engagement, because she felt that relationship was all wrong,
He was…
The one whose flowers and poetry had warmed her heart once.
The one with whom she was upset
She was…
Not the one to be blamed in the whole fiasco
The one he stood up for, calling out the mistake of his brother and mother instead.
… and as they left to save a school that was his dream, she followed him, because what was important to him was important to her.
He was…
The one for whom she jumped in front of a gun
The one for whom she put her life at risk, again
The one whose anger and silence she couldn’t take
The one she couldn’t lose
She was…
The one who he saw crumble down in front of his eyes
The one, just the thought of losing, shook him.
The one he couldn’t stay angry with for too long even if he tried
…and outside the temple she told him that she couldn’t afford to lose him, his heart did a happy dance, because he knew he couldn’t lose her too.
He was..
The one whose closeness was starting to affect her
The one who was slowly wedging his way into her heart
.. and they set about trying to make the love story of her sister and his brother. She was becoming aware of the man beside her, and he was chipping away at her defenses. Destiny was bringing them closer.
He was..
The one her eyes searched when she was in distress
The one whose arms she ran into when she needed peace
The one whose presence calmed her frayed nerves
Her safe haven
She was…
The one whose need was greater than his anger
The one for whom he would do anything
The one whose pain was his
The one who he loved with all his heart
… And as these two souls connected and entwined intricately and beautifully together, time stood still for them.
He was…
The one who was starting to command her heart.
The one who had painted her – her!
The one who had loved her.
The one whose love she felt she didn’t deserve
… as she realized that the painting that was so important to him, because the one in the painting was, the painting that she jumped into fire to save, the girl in the painting that maybe Abir loved, was her- she cried! All her life, she had been denied love. All her life, she had heard taunts. And this man, with his ever present smile, and happy attitude had always loved her.
And when he went missing in a rogue cyclone, she ran to find him..
Because He was…
The one for whom she would do anything
The one for whom she braved a cyclone
The one whom she couldn’t live without
And she was…
The one whose sight forced him to remain conscious in the wreckage
His lifeline
His reason to live
The one who held his hand as he woke up in the hospital.
The one whom he pulled close
The one he refused to let go, actually and metaphorically.
…. And as he questioned her why she had come running for him in the cyclone, all her defense crumbled under his intense gaze. She rushed outside, her heart fluttering, her stomach feeling all funny. And as she rushed outside, she hugged herself, letting herself revel in the newfound feeling.
He was..
The one under whose intense gaze,wink and presence she felt her heart soar.
She was..
The one in his painting, and he wanted to show her.
The one who always occupies his thoughts
The one who held his heart and soul
The one who ran away from his hold, all shy.
… and as she ran away, her heart dancing in her chest, the people around her faded, her senses were only aware of her feelings for the man who was watching her. The happiness that only he could give her. The emotions that only he could awaken in her. The unbridled joy that came with an emotion she was newly experiencing, because now…
He was..
The one she had fallen in love with.
…as he watched her free her heart and embrace her emotions, he knew. He knew that she felt for him the same way he felt for her. His heart filled with love for the girl. And as his family discussed the kind of girl he wanted, he looked at her, because…
She was….
The only one for him.
…. In a party, as she was blamed for a small mix-up, he supported her when everyone else was against her. When she was made to apologize for a thing she hadn’t done, he went behind her – just to make sure she was okay.
And with his presence, she was..because…
He is…
The one who made her smile when she didn’t want to herself
The one whose trust on her made her do the right things.
The one she hated lying to.
Her best friend
The one who gives her strength
The one whose love helps her rise above her insecurities
The one whose love makes her love herself more.
Her safe haven
Her strength
Her clarity in confusion
Her anchor
Her one and only…
… contended that he had put that smile back in her face, he bid her goodnight and left. Her smile was the most precious to him, because…
She is…
The one who keeps him grounded
The one who filled the void, he never knew existed in his heart
The one with whom his soul forged an unbreakable bond
The one who commands his highest respect
The muse for his poetry
His pride
His tranquility
His home.
His one and only...
And together, they are…
2 souls who complement each other
2 souls who complete each other
2 halves of a whole.
They are… trust
They are… friendship
They are… respect
They are… love
They are… soul-mates.
