Luking deeply into her eyes Anand started to think about the past days and the things which made the days memorable still now. He was into the days when he was Mr Anand, Secretary (Cultural and extra curricular activites) St.Georgia Institue of Science & Tech., Chennai.
Anand was the best in the sport he loved. The sport most people in the world today love. He was the best batsman of the state and the captain of his college team. He has won matches at many crucial stages for his college, district and even for the state. Thus he had a great fan following! Students from his college would never mind cutting classes, bunking movies to watch Anand playing. More than anyone there was dis girl Ms. Anitha Bhaskaran. Being a cricket crazy she was d greatest fan of Anand. She wouldn’t mind doing anything dat could pave the way for her to watch Anand’s batting. In every match Anand plays, may it be for the college or district or for the state Anitha would be there cheering up the batsman. Anitha was in III ECE a year junior to Anand. Right from her native place she had come al over to Chennai. Her ultimate aim was to win the International Technical Project competition dat was conducted in their college every 4 years. It was the dream of any “studious” engineering student. Being desperate to make her dream come true she was working right from the beginning.
Anand hasn’t noticed this girl, his craziest fan, in any of his matches. But he was crazy about Ms. Anitha Bhaskaran his junior! To be more clear, Anand had seen Anitha many times in college. Her dazzling looks had made him feel she s d beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. But he never knew Anitha is a Craziest fan of his talent. But one day when he suddenly noticed her in a crucial match. She was cheering him like a little girl shouting at her dad in a running race happening in their family. He was stunned n surprised. When he atlast hit the final boundary to finish the game he saw Anitha blewing kisses to the batsman. He felt lik he was d hero of d best love story ever made. From then on he would be waiting to see her in every match and in every match he would see her after every ball played. Her presence and cheers in every match of his made him feel very happy and he wud be laughing around in the game in the crucial stages. He realized he was crazily in love with her.
Anitha’s desire ever since her higher secondary schooling was to win the International Project Competition. She had undergone continuous training right from the beginning of her course. But it was a disaster for her when she came to know that she is not old enough to compete in the program. She tried every thing possible but The Dean of the Institution never wanted to perform any kind of mal practice and make Anitha compete as it may otherwise, would end up in spoiling the name and dignity of his institution. She was not even able to believe that she s not there in the competition.
Anand’s days were filled wid dreams about Anitha. He could never spend a day without seeing her. When he came to know about Anitha’s desire to win the International Technical Project, he being the head of extra-curricular activities of the college made desperate efforts to make her participate. He didn’t even think about his career dat wud end up if he was found guilty. When he was asked to present the data about the participants he blindly added Anitha’s name there. The Dean couldn’t find it wrong as Anand had even made arrangements dat Anitha’s details wer changed in her college bio-data. Finally Anitha has made her way to the program and even bagged the award but she had no idea how her name was added and how her details wer changed.
Anand desperately wanted to propose to Anitha but he couldn’t. One day after the net session he was talking to his friend. He said “She is the one I’ve been waiting for since my birth. The most beautiful girl I’ve ever met in my life. I just wana be with her and make her win all her desires. I will be her best friend for life. My life will only be fulfilled by her presence. But What if she s only in love wid my game and not wid me? What if she stops watching my game after that? I don’t even wanna think of such a situation in my life. I will not propose to her though I desperately want to..” by then tears had filled his eyes and he was not able to control. Suddenly like a thrashing drizzle someone had hugged Anand from behind. He turned around to find Anitha holding him tight! “Love u Anand!!!” she screamed.” U are the one I was dreaming about ..and I never thought u would even have the same thing for me.”. “I never had luck through out my life.. if I had any desire to do something there would definitely be an unmovable obstacle that would even make me stop thinking about it. This is the first time I am experiencing luck and love in my life!” she was fighting back tears. “There will be only a few ppl who would hav had the blessing to listen from their love what they themselves really had for them”. “U’ve made me the luckiest and happiest person Anu..” said Anitha and broke down.”No I am the luckiest…Love u Ani!!” said Anand. Both were hugging each other tight and tears were the only thing that was talking at that moment.
Their love was the talk of the college ever since that day. They were called the best romantic pair. Both Anand and Anitha were crazy about each other. They would never spend a day in life without talking to the other. Both could be found together anywhere in the Classrooms, canteen, the background lawn or any beautiful place in their college. Anu would hold Ani’s hand and lead her way anywer they went. They were like the happiest couple u would find in any love story. For about a year, days passed very quickly for them. It was the final semester for Anand. In about six months he is about to finish his college after which he had dreams of getting a job using his sports qualification as he thought he would definitely be playing for the country by then and then marry his angel cum love Ms.Anitha Bhaskaran.
Anu and Ani were waiting to complete their courses so that they could get married and live together as soon as it is possible. It was the country selection match for Anand for which he had to leave to Delhi. Anitha didn’t wanted to let him go but she know how important it was. So she too agreed. Finally on 20th of December he left to Delhi. He had matches on 22nd and 24th. Until then he had to practice. The first match was a disaster for him. He was rated as an under-performer by the selection committee which never had happened in his career. He could not believe what he had heard. He was upset all night and he started practicing at 4am the next morning which is 4 hours before the actual practice time. He was practicing continuously and heavily, forgetting about everything that was happening around the world. He ignored food and sleep. His only aim was to get selected and to live a life as he desired. He ignored everything other than his game including Anitha’s call which had come more than 20times that day. Finally on 24th he played like the typical hero of the sport which he usually used to be. Anand was selected for the country. He felt very much honoured for being able to represent the country in the future. More than that he was extremely happy that part of his dreams was achieved.
Finally he returned to Chennai on 25th morning. He had been waiting to see Anitha very badly to tell her whatever happened and how her guy has proved himself. But he was left in total disappointment when he heard that Anitha has left to her native the day before yesterday due to some serious problems in her family. Her dad was falsely blamed as a cocaine smuggler by his business rival who even made arrangements to land him up behind the bars. Her whole family was in total shock and Anitha was terribly crying the whole day. She wanted to tell it to Anand who never picked up her call the whole day. So she had left to her native on 24th night. Anand immediately wanted to go and meet Anitha but he was told that Anitha would be returning that night.
That was the night Anand never wanted to even dream about. Anitha reached the hostel by 8.30pm. Anand rushed to know what had happened. But Anitha didn’t even mind Anand waiting outside her room. He called her many times but she didn’t respond. Finally after a long time came Anitha.. “Why are u here at this time?” she asked. “Hey what happened Ani?? Whats the prob in ur family? Is anything serious wid anyone’s health? Tel me what happened!! Is everything OK now? Tel me Ani!” he was crying out wid concern. “Whats your problem in life?? U bloody didn’t even bothered to talk to me when I had called million times and whats the fucking thing you are concerned about now??” Anitha yelled in anger.
“Ani I was in a very bad state..I was rated an under-performer!!”
“Fuck with your cricket!!!” she shouted. “My dad was jailed!”
“What??? How is he now?? Is everything OK Ani???”, he said. “I am extremely sorry. Please try to understand my situation also”
“I don’t wanna hear any fucking apology from you”. “Now get the hell outta my way” she said and started to leave to her room. Anand followed her pleading, but she didn’t even mind about it. She blindly walked to her room and shut the door. Anand was helpless.
The next day after the classes he was at the lawn waiting for her but she never came. He had been waiting to meet her from the morning. He went directly to her room. She was there reading something. Anand asked “Ani why didnt you come to the lawn today?” No reply. He spoke again “Ani I am asking you”. “Why should I come to see you?” Anitha had replied.
“Dats what we usually do… Are u still thinking about your dad? Are u still angry on me?”
“Nothing I am alright. Go do ur work. That is why u r here in this college and not to be at the back of me everytime!”
“What?????”. “What didcha just say??” “We are supposed to be in a fucking thing called love and that is the reason u find am behind you everytime!!”
“Love?? That bloody thing was over a long time before u useless!!” said Anitha
Anand was witnessing an Anitha he had never seen before. “Over??? How smart!! You girls end up an affair very smartly that even the guy doesn’t knows about it!” replied Anand.
“Yeah u guys start everything and blame it on us….very easy!” said Anitha “And it is even easy for you go behind some other girl in a few days”
“Shut the fuck up! The bloody fucking mistake I had done in my entire life is falling in love with you!” yelled Anand. “I wish I should never see you again!!!” yelled Anand.
“I need to say that! I don’t want to see you in my entire life” replied Anitha.
Many days passed. The whole college had come to know about their break-up and people had different opinions. But none of them was able to fully believe that they are apart now. It was the time for Anand’s final semester. He wasn’t able to concentrate. Thoughts about Anitha had drowned him in and he was not able to come out of it. Finally the exams came to an end and Anand has finished college. He never met Anitha after that incident. He thought there was no mistake on his part and it is Anitha who should apologise first.
It was exactly a year after that incident had happened. Anand was at home thinking about that terrible incident. He has been trying for a job since his course was completed. The job that was promised to him for his sports qualification was denied as he didn’t attend his international matches and was obviously dropped forever by the selection committee. He could never find a job with his educational qualifications alone. His dad somehow made an arrangement for his job in Madurai with the help of his colleague. Anand has to go to Madurai where he will be directly selected without any interview. Everything was over.. Ani , their love, their future. Everything has ended up like a dream. He wanted to end his life but he couldn’t as his family now depends only him for their living. His dad was also about to retire in a few months. He left to Madurai on 28th of December night.
Madurai was an exciting place to be in but Anand found nothing intresting. He reached on 29th morning. A bachelor’s room was rented which was already shared by 3 other youngsters. He went to the company where he was called and got the job directly as promised. His job was the Project Engineer in Sathyam Infotech. He was paid a descent salary. Anand though initially was a bit lagging in his job later made up and is now a talented employee of the firm. Life was going on fine for Anand.
Anand being a well known employee to the Manager, not only worked for the post but also did many things for the firm such as making the Telephone bill payments and Electricity bill payments. Telephone Exchanges in Madurai were not as they are in Chennai. Many online billing payments are made available in Chennai so as to not make people in long queues for hours. But in Madurai the only option is to stand in the long queues and wait until you get your turn. It was a dry Wednesday morning and Anand had come to the Telephone Exchange. There was a long queue in which he was waiting at the last. Anand was trying to peep inside the counter so as to see if it is someone whom he knows so that he can make the payment soon by not waiting in the queue. He was not able to see anything since he was at the last. But in sometime he got a view. He peeped inside. He was stunned of what he was witnessing. It was Anitha!! She is the one in the counter making payments. Anand had no clue of what he should do now. He thought of leaving the place immediately. But he wanted to stay. He had no idea how Anitha would react after seeing him. His mind was toggling and he didn’t know what he should do. Meanwhile the queue was progressing and it was his turn.
She saw his face. No reaction. “Ur bill sir” she said.
Anand was confused! She was totally different. The girl was dressed in tee and jeans, her hair straightened and she was looking like some girl from the north. It was not the girl whom he met in his college. Anitha used to be a very homely girl and never even practiced any modern style of dressing. Moreover which multi-talented girl in the world would give up their top positions in an MNC and will be working for the Telephone Exchange? He was gazing at her.
“Sir your bill please?” she asked again.
“Yeah..here it is” replied a totally confused Anand.
“Payment?” she asked
“Yeah yeah” Anand said and gave the cheque.
“Thank You Sir” she said and smiled.
Anand left the place immediately and reached his office in a few minutes. He couldn’t believe what just happened. “Is that really Anitha or someone else? Or is Anitha pretending that she has forgot him completely?” He was terribly confused.
That night he received a call from his close friend in Chennai. By the time Anand was about to tell him about what happened that day, his friend told him that Anitha had left to California where she was engaged. Her marriage was fixed the next month. Anand was stunned, shocked, & terrified. Now he had realized that it was not Anitha whom he had met in the Telephone Exchange that day. He could not talk more. It is not that much easy for anyone to know about the marriage of their love with someone else. He was fighting back tears. He was angry and helpless at the same time. Even though everything was considered over a year back, thoughts about Anitha had been haunting him till the day before. He wanted to go and stab Anitha that very moment for dumping him but it was too late.
Anand did not want to go to work the next day. He woke up late since he was awake till 3 in the morning. He wanted to go somewhere else, where he can be alone, where he can express his anger, his depression. He wanted to get out of this world but he didn’t wanna die. He went to Taj Garden, a place in Pasumalai Hill, it has a bar for the thirsty traveller. But Anand wasn’t a thirsty traveler. Anand was boozing for the first time ever in his life. He seemed to be typical love-failure. He boozed uncontrollably and left the place only when the waiter said he cant serve him anymore as it was much above the limit. Anand was walking through the streets yelling out Anitha’s name with anger like a typical drunkard. He could not see anything happening around him. He was out of this world as he had wished that he could not even see the huge truck which was speeding towards him.
Anand was blindly walking like he was the only person in this world. The truck was coming straight towards him. It was about to thrash Anand into pieces!!! When the truck was only a few metres away Anand could see it but could not do anything other than yelling! Now it was just about 2 metres away. Anand had closed his eyes thinking he is gonna die. By that time..Suddenly his body was pushed aside by someone with a force and he had fallen on the platform. Anand escaped the terrible accident by a whisker!!! Someone had thought Anand should live and thus he is now.
The next day morning Anand opened his eyes…He was in his room. He found he was safe. He had no idea what happened the last night. All he could remember was that truck which was speeding towards him and he was pushed away by someone. He tried very much and remembered that it was some woman. He could not remember who it was or what happened after that the last night.
He was all ready to leave to work. He had to give some lame explanations to his boss for bunking the previous day’s work. He was searching for his Identity-card which he misplaced somewhere. Anand would usually be the last one to leave the room, so he had to lock it and give the key to the owner. When he was about to get out of his room, he heard his door bell ringing. From the time Anand shared this room they had no visitors. He opened the door and was surprised at once. It was the same Anitha-like girl whom he met days before. Anand stood clueless. He did not know why this girl should come to a bachelor’s room at this time.
“Hello Mr. Anand Chakriya” she said..
Anand was confused. “Who are you?? How do you know my name?” he asked
“I know you Mr. Anand and I am the reason you are here right this moment” she said with a smile.
Anand was terribly confused after listening to those words. What is happening? Why should she be the reason? He was asking himself.
“Hello??” “Don’t you remember me?” “Oh! These drunkards forget every bloody thing that happens when they are in their world” she said and smiled again.
“Now tell me if u atleast remember this??” she took something from her hand-bag and showed him.
It was his Identity-card. Anand was now able to remember everything. He had missed his Identity-card yesterday in that accident scuffle. Someone had saved him and got him in a taxi to his room. And it was this same woman standing in front of him who had saved his life!
“Thank You! Thanx a lot for saving my life” he said
“God! Atleast u remember me now” she said with a relief. “I am Ananya”. she said “How are you now Mr. Anand? Are you OK now?”. “ You were in a very bad state yesterday that you were not even able to tell me your address and so finally I had to remove your Identity-Card to tell your address to the taxi driver but I forgot to give it back to you.” she explained. “Searched a lot I think?’ she said and smiled.
“Yeah, but thanx again for saving my life” he said. He didn’t wanna say anything more. It was this same looks which had dumped him. The same voice which made his life a disaster. Anand did not want to see the same face again.
“Oh! That’s OK dude. Think you were leaving for work…have a great day! If you are not on the way to any pub this time” she smiled and left the place.
Anand did not know what he should do. But he was ashamed of himself for not remembering the person who saved his life from a terrible massacre. He left to work immediately as it was already half-an hour late.
He had an usual day. He was fighting back his thoughts about Anitha. He didn’t want to think about her anymore. He knew everything was over and he had no choice. He finished his work that day late since he had to compensate for his previous day’s work in office.
The next day his boss wanted him to leave to Rameshwaram for some project work. His tickets were ready and he had to catch the 11.30 train. Sudden travels were very common in business. Anand reached the railway station by 10.30. He was sitting in his coach. Anand was thinking about the last time when he was in railway station. It was with Anitha. Anand was leaving to Delhi for selection and that was the last time he was in train and also that was the last time they were in love.
His train which should have started at 11.30 didn’t even start to move when it was 12.30. Anand went out to enquire what the problem was. There were cops allover with bomb-squads. He was clueless. He went back to his seat. Suddenly a group of cops and bomb squads reached his compartment and were searching. Their alarm broke out when they were hitting Anand’s suitcase.
“Whose bag”? One of the cops questioned.
“That’s mine sir” replied Anand. He was asked to open it and Anand opened it immediately to find a huge messed up “integrated-circuit” like thing.
“RDX MN15 4.5 kg sir” one of the Bomb-squad members said and removed its connection.
Anand was shocked! Someone has kept this suitcase in place of his. He had no idea how his bag was replaced. “Sir I don’t know how..” Anand was pleading. By the time he received a huge blow on his face from one of the cops. Anand was arrested. He was pulled out of the train and was dragged to the jeep which was waiting outside. Within a few moments Anand was behind the bars. He was totally helpless. He might lose his entire life if he is proved. His career was lost. His family members would never wish to live after hearing that their son was a terrorist. Anand was helpless. All he could do is telling the cops that his bag was replaced. But no one was ready to listen to him how much ever he cried.
A few hours later he heard some woman’s voice heavily arguing against the cop. He stood up to find who it was. There was a man who seemed to be a politician. With him was a girl whom he recognized as Ananya. She had come with her dad.
“How did you decide that Anand is a terrorist?”. Was he having the suitcase with him when u caught him?” Ananya’s dad asked.
“No. But he said it was his suitcase.” Replied the cop.
“He even said he did not know about the RDX”. “His bag was replaced!”. “Anand is our relative, now u better release him..I think you know my power.” Ananya’s dad gave a stern reply. He was one of the top Industrialist in the city.
The cop had no other choice other than letting Anand out. Anand was released. “Don’t worry son, everything is fine” replied the man. Ananya had saved his life once again, but this time even his family was saved by her. Anand never wanted to see this face in his life but he had to. He had no other go. He thanked Ananya and her father for rescuing him.
“I saw u being dragged by the cops at the railway station and was stunned. I could not have cared but since I already knew you I didn’t want to leave you as it is. So I called up my dad and said my friend is in a problem.” The last few words surprised Anand. “Friend?” he asked. “Yeah..but from now. Isn’t it?” she askd. “Yeah..sure” replied an clueless Anand.
From then on Ananya used to call Anand frequently. They talked about their work, Anand’s life in Madurai, his cricket craze etc. But Anand never revealed anything about his past as he thought Ananya was not such a close friend to share his sorrows. He said he was removed from the Cricket team due to some politics that was done over the selection. Ananya used to ask him whether he had any affair or does he have anything at present. Whenever she asks, all that Anand would answer is “I don’t have any fucking thing like that”. “I neither had any love nor I will have one”. It just screws up your career”. When he asked her the same she would say that she had an affair when she was in school but later she realized that it was just an infatuation. But Anand wasn’t interested in listening to her at all.
It was a Sunday morning. Anand woke up late realized that Ananya had invited him for lunch at their place. Anand initially refused but Ananya’s repeated calls made him agree. He reached their place around 12pm. Ananya’s house was extra-ordinary. A multi-storied building that would definitely resemble a top Industrialist’s house. He was welcomed by Ananya’s parents. They had lunch in sometime and Anand was about to leave.
“How is your job going on Anand” asked Ananya’s dad
“Going on fine sir” replied Anand.
“You must be 25 or 26 right now. Am I correct Mr.Anand”?
“Yeah sir 26”
“What about you marriage plans son?”
“Nothing sort of it now sir”.
“We actually called you here to talk something about Ananya’s marriage plans. And we think you would be the right choice for Ananya” said ananya’s dad without any hesitation.
“What??? Sir I don’t .. She is my friend. That’s all! I can never think of anything like that”. Please let me go now” replied Anand and left the place immediately.
The next day Ananya called him but he never picked. He didn’t want to talk to her after that. Anand could never think of any relationships right now. But his phone kept on ringing. It was for the 15th time. Anand picked it at once. “See I don’t wanna talk to you anymore. I would never have come to your place if that you had told me about it before itself.”
“Me too Anand, I didnt know why dad spoke to you like that. Even I was stunned and left speechless. Believe me Anand please” she pleaded.
Anand now had no other choice but to believe her.
“But I don’t think there is something wrong in what dad asked you”.
“Hey what are you talking about? What do you know about me?. I have many dreams in my life. My family depends on only me for their living. I can’t even think about marriage at this time” . Anand didn’t want to think about any girl other than Anitha in his life. But he didn’t want to tell anything about her to Ananya.
“I know, but why do you think u cant accomplish your dreams if you a are married?”. “Dad even said he will arrange for your place in the cricket team if you agree. You can play for the country. And moreover I will be a good life partner and will never let you down at any point of time in life” she explained.
Anand was speechless. He was in a confused state. “Think about it Anand. I will call you later. Have a great day!” she said and cut the call.
Anand was very much confused. He didn’t know what he should reply to Ananya. His heart was filled with thoughts about Anitha but on the other hand he even thought Anitha has dumped him and she is now happily leading her life in California. He thought he should get a life for his own and so wanted to say yes. At least he can achieve his dream of getting a place in the Indian Cricket team.
Ananya was jumping with joy when she heard Anand saying yes to her. She told her parents and the marriage plans have started. But Anand was feeling the guilt of not revealing anything about Anitha to her. He thought he should have told everything in the beginning itself, when Ananya revealed about her past or atleast when she proposed the marriage, but he had failed to do so. Whatever, Anand thought now it is not the right time to reveal anything. What if Ananya felt worse about it? What if she feels heart broken to know that her Anand has hidden about his past to her? He thought he would not tell her anything till the end. Finally the day of their marriage was fixed.
That was it. Everything seemed to be like a tale to Anand. He was disturbed from his thoughts when Ananya was seated next to him. But the guilt was still killing him inside. He thought he is playing with the life of this girl sitting next to him who is about to become his life partner within a few minutes. The priest has started chanting the mantras and in sometime their marriage was over. Anand’s parents have arrived from Chennai last evening. All the formalities were over by the afternoon. Ananya’s dad presented them a huge apartment. Both Anand and Ananya moved to their new house. Ananya seemed to be the happiest girl in the world that moment. “She won’t be so when she comes to know about the past of her husband” thought Anand. It was killing him inside. Anand wasn’t even talking to Ananya properly that day. Whenever Ananya asked him he would reply “Nothing. Jus tired”. It was late night and Ananya had slept. Anand was in the hall watching TV. Actually he wasn’t watching it at all. He was thinking about whether if he has done the right thing or he should tell Ananya everything about him. He thought it would be better if he himself tells her rather than she knowing it herself from someone else. At once he decided to tell her everything whatsoever.
He went to the bedroom where Ananya was sleeping. “Ananya” he called.
“Tell me Anand.” she replied in a sleepy voice, still not woken up.
“Wake up Ananya. I have to talk to you about something.”
Ananya woke up and sat in her bed. “Y don’t we talk in the morning? Am very sleepy Anand and so you are.” she said.
“No Ananya, It is about our life. And I want to talk to you right now” replied Anand.
“Ok tell me. Whats about it?”
“Ananya listen carefully. I know I should have told you everything in the beginning but I didn’t. And I don’t know if it is the right time to tell you but I cant hide it anymore.” Anand was feeling the guilt. He said “I was in love Ananya. It was during my college days in Chennai. Her name was Anitha. And Ananya, she looks exactly like you. You know we were the best pair ever. We used to be together always. She always used to say I am the best guy for her and that she is so lucky to have me.” By then Anand’s eyes were filled with tears. But he controlled.”It was all over Ananya. She left me. My Ani ditched me. She said everything was over. I never thought there was something called break-up in our love but she proved it wrong!” “My Ani.. She left me.. I can never forget her in my life.. My Ani..” he was fighting back tears. He realized that he shouldn’t have spoken the last few words. “ But don’t worry Ananya, I assure you that I wont spoil your life. Give me some time. Il surely try to forget her. Il forget her Ananya”. He said and was literally crying.
“I never left you Anu!!” cried Ananya.. and hugged him. “I am extremely sorry Anu!! But I never left you! And I can never leave you!!” It was Anitha herself!! Anand was shocked and surprised!
“Ani??” Is it my Anitha???”
“Yes Anu..It is your own Anitha. I never knew you loved me so much. Iam extremely sorry Anu” Anitha was crying out with tears. “I dint leave u Anu. I started missing you terribly when I heard that you were even ready to sacrifice your future for making me accomplish my dream of winning the Science competition. I realized how much I had hurt u and I was terribly depressed over the thing which happened between us. I was looking for you in Chennai but I was told that you left to some place for your work. But I never knew that you left to Madurai. I thought u forgot me as u said. A few months later our house was shifted to Madurai. My dad even had plans of getting me married to his business partner’s son in California. But I strongly denied. I dint even want to go to work as I was depressed allover. My dad got me a job in the Telephone Ex-change where I met you once again. I was surprised and stunned Anu... I wanted to come and hug u tight. But what if you were still angry on me? and what if you leave Madurai after seeing me? I was helpless that moment and you were coming towards me. Without having an idea on how to react I pretended to be some other girl whom you don’t know. I thought you would definitely find me out but prayed u shouldn’t. But even you were confused at that moment. So I thought it is better if I continue to act as some other girl and somehow get u married rather than telling I am the girl who dumped you, and make you leave me once again. From that time I’ve been following you wherever you went, I had no clue how to get to you or how to make you mine. Only then I got different chances of saving your life. And I did save you. But I never knew you too loved me so much!” she said and cried.
“How can I leave you Ani?? You could have told me everything at anytime when you were with me.” asked Anand not being able to control his tears.
“I wanted to, Anu..but not after hearing you speak from your heart. After I saved you from the accident I took you to my house to seek help from dad. I asked you what your problem was and you said you wanted to kill Anitha. You said you never want Anitha in your life and that Anitha is such a bitch that any guy would never want to marry.” She said and cried. .”But I wanted to be with you always, to see you smile, to make you happy, to be a best friend for life and to love you till death. I love you Anu!”she cried uncontrollably.
“Am sorry Anitha.. I loved you from the bottom of my heart and I still do. I was terribly upset when I heard that you are going to be married and will be leaving abroad. My heart was filled with depression and anger. I wanted to kill you and kill myself.. but I never wanted to forget you Ani!” “Don’t ever leave me Ani.” cried Anand and hugged her tightly. It was like the day in canteen when they first hugged. But this time, they can never be separated again whatsoever! They realized that A broken heart can be healed only the one who is responsible for it.
