"Do I really have to go?" She asked him when she realized that it would be the last day with him in London completing her Masters in Surgeon in imperial college school of medicine. And the man, She was asking this question is a start-up person in the business world of London having India as an origin. But nobody believes him that He's an Indian. That too, With his blue and grey orbs and his white skin tone. 

"Come, Baby! You have to face him one day! Why can't it tomorrow?"  He tried to convince her for the nth time when she felt so low going back to her hometown. But now, It was intense. She held his palms tightly and tears crossed her eyes looking at him. 

"Why are you crying? Please don't cry, Everything will become alright. And I am cent percent sure, They will understand us." He said in a confidence holding back her palms. They were sitting in the dining hall of his 1bhk apartment which apparently belongs to him. He specially arranged that for her when she felt so down after her studies finally got over. They both belong to different steams and nothing between them was common, But then too, They met and now struggling to leave each other just for sixteen days. 

"What if they didn't allow me to get married to you?" she asked and He again looked at her with the same reaction. He was trying but she was not ready to get convinced, Even though he was ready to shrug off all the negative thoughts. 

"I know what you're going to say, We are in 2003, And now love marriages became common, But what if everything turns opposite to us. Don't know why! I am so negative right now, And I just can't think positive anyway." - She blabbered out. 

"Okay, I will do one thing, I will cancel the tickets and book the tickets for both of us. We will go together. Are you okay with this?" - He asked her finally, She looked at him with worries. She asked for the zillionth time but she was not ready to take him. If anyone talks any wrong thing about him, She can't tolerate and She was hell scared after getting know about the incident happened in the neighbor, How her neighbor montaged rape case to the lover of a higher caste girl who loved the lower caste boy of the same town she belongs. That girl died and that boy serving in jail for a lifetime. She can't risk his life on her. He stood up from the table in frustration. 

"Look, You are not ready for either of that. Listen, Ani. We have to face this moment. I know it has been 2 years since we met. And I was clear with one thing. Whatever happens in life, Nobody can replace you in my heart." - He said looking at her but she remains seated in her chair thinking deeply about the negative impacts. 

"Shivaay." - She called him towards her forwarding her hand to him. The frustration he had faded away leaving no trace. He was in his knees before her in no moment. And their foreheads were kissing and their eyes were close to her. 

"I love you, Shivaay. I love you so much, Beyond anything in the world. If God asks to choose between you and the rest of the world, Without thinking, I will choose you. That much, I love you. I know you love me the same as I do, In that trust, Can I ask you one thing?" - She asked him. He started to feel the fear in her heart through her words which trembled his heart. He nodded yes while cupping her face, Their foreheads were still in contact. 

"Marry me, Now. Take me as your wife. If it's my last day, I want to live as your wife." - She spoke out the word, She had in her heart for a long time. He was shocked and opened his eyes in an instant. In these two years, He never saw her in so much fear. She opened her eyes when he slightly tilted his head and tried to move away from her. But she didn't let him go away from her. 

She pulled him closer and place her lips above his lips but didn't kiss him. She patiently waited for his reaction and he stayed in the same position in confusion because she was very particular when it comes to physical contact, They shared their first kiss after been in the relationship for a year. As far she knew about her, She won't give any value to physical intimacy and she almost changed his point of view over sex and other physical stuff. She made him understand that the real relationship never depends on sex but on understanding and closeness. But when she approached him in that way, He was slightly shaken. 

"But In my mind, I got married to you before 2 years. You're my wife. Only the paperwork left! We will complete it sooner." - He said and decided to low down the stress rate in her heart. Slightly moving away from her. But she pulled him closer and kissed him in his lips. It was only her who was dealing with the fear. In a few seconds, Both started to deal with the same fear And kissing each other like there's no tomorrow. 

"What will you do if the world going to end tomorrow?" - She asked him panting, Leaving out of breath in kissing. 

"I will choose to stay with you, Each and every millisecond."- He replied almost in an instant. 

"There are no barriers today, Show how much you need me in your life. Made this night as the night as rememberable as possible. We both shouldn't forget it for eternity. Will you?" - She asked him, Over then next moment, She was in his arms and on the way towards their new step and the new change over life. His lips tattooed her soul instead of her body. She was wrong. Her perspective over intimacy as simple biology faded away when she feels him at each part of her body. She was overwhelmed due to the pleasure of the pain she was feeling. 

"I never knew I needed you this much!" - He spelled looking at the sunrise from their small window. She was laying in his chest tired looking at the sunrise. The smile didn't take the name of fading away. 

"Even I never knew that I will yearn for this one day!" - She replied to him, Both chuckled in an instant and their hug became so tighter. And they kissed again.

"Do you really have to go?" - He asked her holding her palms tighter hearing the announcement in the airport. Even she was not heartfully ready to go. But she decided, If she feels nothing seems to work, She never opens up to anyone and lets anyone know any spark about their relationships. She crossed the steel barricade holding his hand and looked at him. 

"Are you serious about me, Shivaay?" - She asked him. His facial expression changed to confusion. 

"What a rubbish question is it?" - He asked. She chuckled. 

"I know, I was just kidding. Listen, If things didn't work out, I will come back and we will elope. That's the plan. Are you with me?" - She asked forwarding her hand. He chuckled and held her other hand tighter. 

"But I want us to get married in traditional Tamilian style. You wearing vesti and I am wearing saree." - He said, Her eyes went wide when she learned about his sudden interest in wearing saree. 

"I didn't know about your secret fantasy about wearing sarees." - She busted to laugh. 

"I was about to say, Me in vesti and you in saree. Stop laughing, Look, Everyone looking at you weirdly."- He said when she turned to look around, He kissed her in her cheek and she started to blush. 

"Now, I really don't want to go." - She replied finally what he wanted to hear for a long time, But the announcement urged her to leave him. 

"Call Sneha. Tell her you're the brother of Ananya." - Anika said the way of contacting her when she's in her town. 

"What if she asks me to give the phone to Ananya?" - Shivaay asked her. 

"I told her she's deaf and dumb. So we are safe talking with each other." - Anika said. 

"Smart. BTW. Who's Ananya?" - He asked her. 

"Our imaginary savior." - She said blinking. And they heard the third announcement. 

"And one more thing," - She started. 

"What?" - He asked, His facial expression changed when his heart started to beat faster. 

"I love you!" - She said. He smiled and kissed her forehead. 

"I love you, too. Come back soon. I will be waiting for you."- He replied. Nodding yes to him, She started to move away, beyond his vision. He stayed in the airport till the plane takes off. The fear which he ignores to notice started to kill him. He don't know the reason, But he felt so weight.
