The wish

​Ananya, she has always been an extrovert who speak things out loud as it is in her mind. She too had a normal life like Varun but her life too went on a roller coaster ride which is going to change her life and not her. She is the one, who would never change her thoughts and perspective for anyone or according to the situation. She always had a single thought and would never change her character for anyone. ​Though her life is screwed still she did not change herself rather she got bumped with Varun and changed his life too with just a smile… that damned smile… the one similar to Megha but different in perspective which changed the way Varun thinks and stuff he is going through is nothing compared to what Ananya is going through. ​Ananya was a normal teen girl with the life of a normal teen girl until her life is going to be ruined by something she never thought would happen in her life.  ​Ananya too had some heartbreaks but never got stuck into that one person forever. Whenever she gets into a relationship or problem or walking out from a relationship all she had to do was to travel. The travel she made alone or with a person in both the cases she was never disappointed by anything or anyone. She just travels and gets lost into that different world… her world… that can only be understood by her. ​The life of Varun and Ananya has always seen to be interconnected, their lives were more or less the same but the only difference is that Varun takes everything into his heart and does not know a way to get out from that which makes him stuck into that different realm which no one close to him can understand. But for Ananya, she takes everything as an experience, it is just our life, we have to live it or end it, that was the way Ananya treated her life and so she never stuck into anything or stuck with anyone until she met Varun. All she had to do to get out from this bitter reality is to travel, just travel so that she can get into her own realm of life which anyone close to her cannot understand. That was the thing common between them both they were on opposite poles but can’t be understood by anyone. ​But still Ananya’s life was much happier when compared to Varun as she did not take anything personally all she had to do was to take things as it is hence she made her life happier rather than her life being happier. ​Though she made her life happier but it has not been happier without her making her life happier. Her life too was a mess before bumping in with Varun and changing his life forever. ​She was not a traveller from the starting part of her life but made into one due to love and found one true love because of her travel.  ​It was on her ninth grade when she fell in love with him, Srinath but did not get to live with him forever. She fell in love with him at the moment she saw him and did not take a chance, she proposed him as soon as she saw him. His looks and character made her attached to him and made her think that he will be the one for her.  ​It was a new day for Ananya when she joined a different school for her ninth grade for her exams and thought that she can get the change she needed from a new school however the school definitely changed her way of life and how she does things. Though it was a new day new school for Ananya but Srinath was studying there from his first grade so he was one of the most influential guy from the school but Ananya did not know anything about him so she started spending more time with him so that she can understand him better rather than just being around him until the day ends she wanted him to be with her forever until she would die but that was not the case for Srinath he was not into that serous relationship kind of thing.  ​However Ananya fell in love with him on the first day she saw him, that one smile… that one damn smile which made her think that he was and will be the one for her forever. ​As she was an extrovert she did not hesitate to talk to him like Varun did, she just started talking to him like they knew each other for long time. Though it was kind of a mixed thought for Srinath that Ananya was giving mixed signals to him but he did show that to her rather he responded to her like a normal person. ​“Hey, you must be Srinath right, my friend here said that you are like the brightest guy in the class and sports and you know most of things…” ​“Well sort of… Do I know you?” ​“You don’t know me because I am not a famous person like you. I am just a normal teen girl.” ​“Well yeah I know that you are a teen girl. But what was your name again.” ​“It’s Ananya. Well now you know me and I know you better shall we be friends.” ​Still Srinath was confused and answered her with a doubt still in his head, “Sure. Let’s be friends.” ​As Ananya was kind of sweet and an extrovert she speaks straight from her heart and not from her mind, Srinath too kind of liked her. But he needed some time too before telling this to her. Because he thought that she would reject him and would avoid him if he does propose her. But that was not the case if he would have proposed her when he thought too they could have got some more beautiful memories together but life had other plans and it is complex which could not be understood by anyone. ​Days passed and they made out of every class together. Finally the most important day of their life arrived the day they both are going to propose to each other without knowing that both of them fancied each other. ​The day they completed their twelfth grade was different they were going to be separated into different paths of their respective lives. Initially it was different and they were not really into each other. But being alone for most of the time and just being connected through call hit them hard and different so they decided to go at each other and show how they feel for each other. Still Srinath refused initially thinking that she was not into him and they are just friends. But that was not the case with Ananya she was completely into him and was ready to go into each other. So she decided to tell this to him before he proposes her and badly wanted to show her feelings for him as soon as possible so she called him and asked if he was free so that they both can meet so that she can show how she felt for him for years. ​All these years though they were together all they did was just being friends nothing much. Though they were together all these time but all they did was just being friends and all they had was just some quality time and quality memories as just friends. Still they had an invisible magical bond between them without even knowing about it. ​It was kind of awkward between them just being friends for a long time knowing that both of them were into each other.  ​Finally the day arrived and she called him for a meet so that they can get along with each other. ​Ananya called him as soon as she got this thought as she did not care about anything and just wanted to be with him. ​“Hey Srinath are you free this weekend.” ​“Yeah kind of. What is it Ananya?” ​“It’s been a long time since we met each other so I just thought that we could meet up sometime. So are you free this weekend?” ​“Yeah sure Ananya we can meet I am free this weekend. Is there something special about this weekend?” ​“Yeah kind of. Guess what?” ​“Wait let me guess. Damn it is your birthday right. Sure let’s make this a memorable one. I will be at our place. Wait, it is at our place right coz it’s going to be your day and so you should decide what we should do for the day.” ​“Yeah Srinath. It is at our place, you are damn right as always.” ​“Is there something special our friends are coming right?” ​“I asked them and they are kind of busy and had their own stuff. So it is going to be just the two of us.” ​“That’s not a problem Ananya. I will make sure this will be the best birthday you had in years.” ​“I know that you would do this for sure.” ​“Okay let’s meet on my birthday.” ​Finally, it was March 15, the day of Ananya’s birthday. She was thinking about the proposal, how to propose to him, what he is up to for her birthday and how he is going to take it when she proposes her. The thoughts were running in her head again and again, she could not even think about her birthday that she was eagerly waiting for days.  ​Life is strange right, the feelings you have for someone can make you forget even yourself. It is kind of strange the things we do. Humans, just social animals, we need someone by our side to mould our life and make us do things. The people by our side are the ones who makes us, defines us and make us do the things we do. ​On the night of March 14, Ananya could not sleep she was just thinking about the stuff that was going inside her head repeatedly again and again it was like a loop which she was unable to come out of.  ​Time was running by but she was just thinking about the next day and just couldn’t come out of it.  She was just waiting for a call from Srinath but to her surprise Srinath arrived at her house to give her a surprise which made her day so special.  ​Srinath was planning this from the moment she called her and told him to come over. He found that she wanted her friends to make her day special but their friends were unable to make it. So he wanted to give her what she wanted whether it is going to be them both or with their friends. In the end all they had was themselves.  ​It was midnight and she was waiting eagerly to get a call from Srinath. Though she was an extrovert and say stuff in her mind straight but this was different, she was not able to tell this to him and ask him as it would be awkward. ​So she waited… waited and waited until he arrived for her surprise. ​Right at midnight Srinath arrived at her balcony and called her out through the window. But Ananya did not know that he was the one standing out the window. So she got near the window being scared what if it was someone else. ​But she had a good vibe inside her so she opened the window. To her surprise there was Srinath was standing there with the best surprise she can get and had the most memorable day forever. That was the best birthday so far and will be the best day in the end too. ​As soon as she opened the window Srinath wanted to propose her but he thought that she would take it differently so he resisted but he did not know that she is going to propose him. He can’t shout as he could wake everyone in her house. So he sung the birthday song for her at a low tone and wished her by saying, “Happy birthday to you, the best girl in my life, thanks for being my side always.” with a cake in his hand.  ​Ananya was just stunned and could not utter a single word. She wanted to propose him so badly but could not as she had already prepared everything to propose him in the evening when they will be out together.  ​However this was the best surprise and best wish she got in years. After this she was completely into him. She was just flattered by Srinath, now she just wanted him and wanted to live with him forever but she could not express her feelings for him. That was the case with Srinath too, he could not think about proposing her and show his feelings for her thinking that she would leave him for good. ​“Woah Srinath. I did not expect this from you. This is the perfect birthday surprise I have had in years. Thank you so much man.” ​“Nah this is not yet over. Wait for the real surprise you are going to experience in the evening.” ​“This is the best surprise I can get from anyone that I know of Srinath. There is something special for you too in the evening my man. Just wait for it.” ​Srinath had everything planned but was confused as it was her birthday but she wants to give him something special on her birthday. It was kind of different. He was thinking about it again and again and again but was not able to come to a conclusion. All he can do was to wait and prepare something special for her birthday in the meantime. ​Ananya had the place already ready for her birthday now all he had to do was to make it more special for her. He had everything planned to make her birthday the most special one. On the other hand Ananya was trying to make the day something special for her by proposing him on her birthday. ​Finally the evening arrived, the time they were both waiting for. The place was decided by her which was just beautiful and stunning. It is the place that she frequently visits whether she is happy or sad. It was her favourite place since her childhood where she used to visit frequently. ​She had everything ready for the day and was only waiting for Srinath to come over, on the other hand he had everything set for the evening from his side to give her the best birthday she could ever imagine. Now both of them were waiting for the special day that they both were thinking of, the day which is going to change their lives once and for all. ​Finally the evening arrived, the time that they both were waiting for. Srinath was waiting to give her the best birthday she could get so that he could win her heart. Ananya was waiting to propose him the one thing which she badly wanted to do all her life from the moment she saw him but couldn’t. This was the only thing she was waiting to do stored in her mind for years. ​It was Ananya’s favourite place which she gets to whenever she is on cloud nine or deep down to earth. She was the only person to get there all time, she was the only person who knows the magnificent view one can get from that place. The other person who could visit with her to that place was Srinath that too was because of her and for her until he fell in love with that place too. This was the second time Srinath gets to go there with Ananya and alone. He did not always find time to get there. ​Finally they arrived at the place. Ananya was just astonished watching the most beautiful place she would ever know to be more beautiful because of Srinath. The place looked like it was just out of a happy ending movie. Srinath had put in so much effort to make that place the most beautiful place on earth and to give what Ananya deserves, that too was done by him alone, only by himself. It was just like a dream for Ananya when Srinath walked right into her with all the arrangements and boom she was just out of her mind. She was unable to think of anything else right now. It was completely him in her mind, fully occupied. ​Srinath came in front of her with a bokeh of flowers in one hand and a cake in the other which said, “Happy birthday Ananya”. After placing the cake on the table right next to him, he kneeled with one leg and gave the bokeh of flowers to Ananya and said…
