The summer mornings were usually so beautiful, waking up to the bright sunlight kissing you was like the most amazing feeling to be described into a few simple words or paragraphs.
The bright sunlight brought so many rays of hope into my life about which I couldn't stop thanking the universe. I have no idea if anyone's ever had a perfect life, but right now, sitting here on my bed as I stare at the bright sunlight peeping inside my bedroom through the windows, I feel as in my life has never been better.
Everything in life has been so perfect and so good but that doesn't mean I haven't faced any ups and downs, I have, but maybe I had that magical power inside me that never let me fall.
Who on earth wouldn't be happy having such a beautiful life where you have everything, A house to live in, some food to eat, a good job, good money, so many friends, great relationship with everyone, adventure, fun and that one guy whom you crush on so hard but can't tell him how you feel about him.
Despite having all this, despite everything being so perfect in my life, it still feels like something is missing somewhere, as if something isn't right, that feeling that doesn't let me sleep and eventually I end up overthinking things.
I'm about to get off the bed when my phone rings, I just hope my friends don't have any summer plans, they are the craziest people on earth and fun is like a routine to them, they're always up to something, despite getting irritated at times, I love how we all hang out together and go on adventure and stuff.
"Cookie, where the hell have you been I've been calling you for an hour now" Arnav shouts at me.
Arnav, the name that brings a cute stupid smile on my face, oh by the way, he's the one, my crush whom I'd always think about and smile randomly and just wish he had an idea how much I liked him.
"Arnav, if you've forgotten, my name's Khushi, stop calling me cookie, someday you might mistake me for a real cookie and eat me up" I giggle
Although I love him calling me that name, well I would love him calling me anything, it's just fun fighting around with him over such funny issues.
"I'm picking you up in an hour, and before you ask me questions, you aren't getting answers so just chill and get ready, no answers for you today"
Before I can say anything further, he disconnects the call and I sit there for a couple of seconds wondering what could it be, he's never behaved like this with me, I mean disconnected the call abruptly.
The issue with me has been that lately I've just been overthinking things, there's a lot actually, not only connected to him but everything else, like why would something happen in some way and not the other way, like you know even the most stupid things.
I hear him hoot as I quickly put on my sandals and rush out, it's a beautiful summer morning and a yellow dress wouldn't be so boring after all. I take a last look at myself in the mirror before I head out, I have to look perfect after all my crush is downstairs waiting to pick me up. That excitement and the ticklish feeling is another thing I tell you.
"Hey" I greet him as I get in the front seat and on my God, I've never seen him dressed like this.
Arnav has always been the simple kind of a guy yet fun loving, I mean it's not that he doesn't dress well, but right now he was dressed in a manner I've never seen him in before and I love it, he looks perfect, well he'd look perfect in anything, but this is different.
"Where are we going to?" I ask him as he starts driving.
"Cookie I told you no questions, so shut up"
"Arnav, it's not my birthday so why the suspense? Come on, I need to know, you guys always inform me things before they why can't you tell me today?"
"Because today is different"
I sit silently and watch outside, the cars passing by, people walking on the streets and the busy life outside there, I actually don't even know what exactly I'm thinking of, I'm just lost maybe, into no thoughts, like sited there thinking nothing at all, just being blank.
Isn't it weird, the guy I like is sited next to me driving and all I can do is sit and think about nothing, and actually feel sad that I can't feel a thing, I mean I should be nervous excited and what not, but it's just not there.
"Cookie, you okay?" Arnav asks
"Yeah, what would happen to me?" I smile
"Nothing, you've just been quite strange lately, I mean more silent that you usually used to be"
"Really? I dint realize that" I say trying to brush off the thoughts.
I know what he just said is true to some point but then I also feel like it's just me overthinking things that don't even exist which is making me this way.
He parks the car outside Lavanya's house and I get the idea of what this guys are up to. Most days, Lavanya's parents are out of town and she normally calls us over to chill and talk and eat like there's no tomorrow.
"Don't tell me you guys are planning some stupid chilling session again, I could be better off sleeping at home" I say as I step out of the car.
"Cookie do you realize you've been trying to avoid all this with us lately? What's up? Don't tell me you got a boyfriend and you dint even tell us about it and worse of it he doesn't want you to be with us" Arnav says trying to make those fake surprised expressions.
"Whatever" I say as I walked in and he follows me from behind.
I find a small board on the left side of the door with my nick name written on it and I really get the gut feeling that this guys are up to something, but what? It's not even my birthday!
I turn back to look at Arnav and he gestures to me telling me to walk in pretending he has no idea of what's going on in there. As I step in, the whole mansion is in a deep silence and it's weird, I expected everyone to be here making noise and shouting like they always do.
I walk in a bit further and find Rehan holding another board with my name written on it again. But this time it's not only my name, there is something else.
"You have been the most wonderful person I've ever met" I read it aloud.
Rehan smiles at me as he directs me where to go next by a gesture but doesn't speak a word.
A bit further and I find Ishaana with another board, the same thing again, 'Cookie' written in huge letters then another small sentence.
"And I don't want it to be cheesy with funny movie dialogues or long poetry lines" I read as I follow the direction Ishaana leads me to where I find Lavanya.
'Cookie, I think I'd want to spend the rest of my life trying to make you smile and keep you happy'
By this time I can't even tell how I feel, it's so scary because I don't know who's doing it, yet there's a hope in my heart, hoping it would be the person I'm expecting it to be.
Lavanya smiles at me and stares at me as if I'm the luckiest girl on earth and actually I feel so, even though I don't know whose doing all this yet. She directs me towards the dark corner, I can see a figure there but not the face and I try my best to get a look at the person.
A light flashes and I'm overwhelmed to see Arnav standing there holding another board and I feel everything, all the feelings that exist at once. I feel numb, happy, excited, overjoyed, and what not.
'Will you let me love you like you want me to love you?'
"Arnav" I say as tears roll down my eyes.
I rush to hug him and I guess he doesn't need to hear the answer from me, but if he does, it's a yes, it's definitely a yes. I would die to spend the rest of my life with him.
Everything is so beautiful, so overwhelming, our friends are around us staring at us like we are the cutest couple ever made and it's all beautiful so beautiful... and I am supposed to be happy like crazy and I am but then there's this sadness too and I don't know why it's there.
The man I had a crush on just confessed his love to me and I am happy, but I'm sad too, I want to jump and dance like crazy but I also want to hug him tight and cry, and that's what I do, I hold him tight in my arms as if he'd run away any moment as I feel those tears roll down my eyes, and I know they aren't tears of happiness.
