Seeing the nature, with the sun about to set, drinking the last sip of my tea I was wondering of him, as if he would be here talking and cuddling me as he cares me but all he does is neglect my calls, ignore messages and play some weird games. Yes, I am surprised as how could I even like him? Anyways, my name is Ananya, Medicine, second year. Regarding my dream and career, to achieve it, I should focus. And I do, but not on studies but on him… The worst thing happened in my life. I like a guy since 2 years, he is my classmate and he is Aditya. The handsome, cheerful and polite guy, who I like, is basically ignorant always. It’s always been a biggest question as how this weirdest guy has bothered my dreams constantly. At start it was different as I hated him.
       It all started in 2018, the first time I saw him, he was good-looking and gentle but as few months passed he gained a lot of popularity and always became my competition. I tried to be the best in all cases like, exam results, participation in some competitions and so on. Trying to be the one which I am not has weakened me. I didn’t like it.  I was crying in my room as I couldn’t achieve anything. A sudden surprise is that he noticed my pain and fear of losing, and supported me as my best friend. Then onwards I used to be normal around him instead of being jealous, which I shouldn’t, actually! Anyways, this comforted feeling has turned into love. It’s really a beautiful feeling to live with but single-mindedly, I always wanted more. I wished to confess my feelings which I couldn’t, so I am waiting for the right moment. Time passed and here I was, still dreaming instead of telling him.
       I actually came back home for summer break, he and I live nearby. So, I planned to confess him by the time college reopens. I called him, as usual, he didn’t lift. After 5 missed calls he called back and was, ‘hey’? With his hey I was really angry, but I calmed myself and told him to join me for dinner the following night, he agreed which is surprising. Anyways, that evening I was really excited but bit nervous as to how would it go on, and I wore a black classy dress with golden coating earrings along with a sleek bracelet. Dinner was around 7 according to me but I, myself became late around 20 minutes. He was already sitting inside at our reserved table. The waiter told me to check once regarding the reservation, he held an argument. So, I had to call Aditya to allow me in. He came and explained the waiter as I was a part of this dinner, finally he let me in. I was now more nervous, as the starting itself was a mess, but I went in with my gut along with Aditya. The restaurant had a beautiful ambience as we enter, the passage had one side with mirrors, side by side, and the other side was plain. It was really great as to knowing Aditya joined me for dinner. Anyways, as we were going through he just turned back and smiled at me and said, ‘You are looking amazing today’. I was flattered by his compliment and responded that he was looking handsome. We went to our table and sat down. The restaurant was filled with calm and no rush, which was perfect to express my feelings. We ordered our dinner and chatting, the regular conversations, as how were our holidays going on, how our parents were and so on… We received our dinner and we had a lovely time for ourselves, it felt like never before. It was the best dinner night I had with him, which I was actually imagining from a long time. But yet I didn’t confess him. It’s about to end and yet I wasn’t able to tell him that I loved him.
         So, we were about to leave and I wanted to keep this in my memory forever, hence I asked him to take a selfie. We did. Now, was the time I wanted to open up, so I started my conversation by asking him how he originally felt about me? He was trying hard not to answer this question by saying, I was ok or he didn’t want to talk about it and so on. I didn’t know now what to say… but I held his hand and kissed him on his cheek and said thank you for joining the dinner. Now, I am worried as to how would he react, I was slowly leaving his hand but he firmly held my hand and I was surprised to see his action. He then told me that he had been having the similar kind of strong feelings from past few months and finally uttered those 3 words, which filled my heart, that is, “I Love You”. I was really happy and I hugged him tightly and said me too. This was indeed the beautiful moment of my life, the acceptance of our love, together! Now here we were, seeing the sunset together and cuddling each other, forever!
