" I can't wait to finally propose her " He whispered to himself and rubbed his heart softly. Breathing out slowly, he blushed thinking of her, his love, his Ridhima.

Vansh: We have been best friends since years, I can't wait to make you my wife.

He said to himself and smiled looking at the ring in his hands. A beautiful platinum ring with a star and moon embedded on it.

Vansh: I know, how much you love stars and skies so hopefully, you will love it.

He looked at his watch and frowned slightly, she was late.

"Vansh!" a beautiful smile appeared on his lips and he turned around.

Dressed in a beautiful white dress, she ascended the stairs, looking like an angel to him. The effulgence fell on her face, making her look like a mundane dream.

Vansh froze for a moment, his heart fluttered at the sight. He breathed out softly, gazing at her intently.

Ridhima stood in front of him with the charming smile never leaving her face.

Vansh: You look gorgeous riddhu

He whispered, still lost in her. Ridhima smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, muttering a thank you.

She looked around and gasped in excitement. The beach was adored beautifully with fairy lamps and fake fireflies.

The måganta looked ethically beautiful with the shining crescent, the white sand contrasted beautifully against their dark night.

Ridhima: Wow....

She muttered, complete awe of the decoration. Twirling around, she looked at her best friend who was gazing at her intently.

Ridhima: Do you want to say something?

She asked, sensing his nervousness and Vansh flinched slightly.

Breathing out slowly, he looked into her eyes and sat on his knee.

Vansh: Ridhima.... We are best friends from years, every moment spent with you is a beautiful memory. But, gradually you made a special place in my heart and slowly, you took that away from me. My heart resides with you. I didn't fall in love with you but walked in love with you, with my eyes wide open, cautious of every step I took.

He said, gazing at her as if she was the only star in his dark night. Holding her hands softly, he planted a soft kiss on her knuckles.

Vansh: I want to witness the world with you, I want to be by your side as a life partner. I want to share my home with you. I want to share my hope with you. I want to grow old with you. So, will you, miss ridhima, make me the happiest man alive by saying yes to my proposal?

He said, tears rolling down his cheeks. His eyes which were shining under the starry night reflected his hope, the twinkle of excitement, the nervousness he carried.

Ridhima was numb all this while, she couldn't believe her ears. Her best friend, Vansh raisinghania, was asking her out!?

Not getting any response from her,Vansh nudged her slightly making her come out of her trance.

Ridhima: Vansh...

She whispered, lowly. Taking her hands away from his hold, she hurriedly made him stand.

Ridhima: You love me?

She said, still not believing his words. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she shook her head slightly, trying to assure herself.

Ridhima: I mean it's not any prank, right?

She asked and he frowned. Why would he prank about something like this?

Vansh: I really love you ridhima.

He said again and she gasped. Running a hand through her hair, she gazed at him with tears in her eyes.

Ridhima: I am sorry, Vansh.

She whispered, looking down. A sharp intake of breath was heard by her but she didn't had guts to face him. A lonesome drop of tear escaped from his eyes.

Vansh: So you don't love me?

He whispered, gulping down the lump that formed in his throat.

Ridhima: I love you!

She said immediately and cupped his face in her tiny hands.

Ridhima: But waisa wala pyaar nahi jaisa tum chahte ho. You are my world, you are my best friend. My strength.

She said, choking on her tears and he held her hands which were holding his face.

Vansh: Why ridhima?

He whispered and she looked at him confused, entangling their fingers together, he looked into her eyes.

Vansh: Why can't you love me?

He said in a mere whisper and she gasped audibly.

Vansh: Kami Kya hai mujhme, huh? Kya kami hai mujhme? Aakhir mai aisa kya karu jo tum mujh se pyaar karne lagogi? Bolo! Speak up damn it.

He said and she flinched slightly.

Ridhima: Tumhare andar koi kami nahi hai Vansh, you are perfect. It's just, I can't love you.

She said and grasped his fist in hers. Taking a step closer to him, she wiped those pearls that escaped from his eyes.

Vansh felt his heart going heavy with each passing second, he could feel his heartbeat rising at her angelic sight.

Vansh: why?

He whispered and ridhima closed her eyes with a sigh.

Ridhima: Nahi hota mujhse. I love you as a best friend, I don't to love you as a lover. You are my strength, I don't want you to become my weakness.

She said, her voice reflecting sheer helplessness. Cupping his face with her hands, she looked straight in his eyes and said

Ridhima: Ishq junoon hai Vansh per dosti.... Dosti sukoon hai.

Vansh's body trembled slightly, all he wanted was to seek peace from the chaos.

Ridhima: I didn't wanted to give you false hope and hurt you more. Truth needed to be told. I can't see you in pain, Vansh.

She said, tears rolling down her cheeks and he looked at her with a hurtful look.

Vansh: It's fine that you don't reciprocate my feelings. It's really fine. I just don't want to lose you.

He said, looking at her with pleading eyes. Ridhima smiled softly and tiptoed to kiss his forehead.

Wrapping her arms around his torso, she hugged him tightly, providing him the much needed warmth.

Ridhima: You will never lose your best friend. She is always there by your side.

She cooed and his body relaxed with her touch, ruffling his hair softly, she rubbed his back.

Vansh: I am sorry if I hurt you.

He mumbled, still holding her tightly.

Ridhima: You didn't. You can never. I would have been hurt if you would have taken this rejection in a wrong way and went overboard with it. I am glad you didn't. You are very strong vansh. Very strong.

She whispered with a small smile. They both pulled back from the hug and Vansh sighed.

Vansh: so Kya lagta hai, mujhe kabhi koi dulhaniya milegi?

He joked and she smiled softly. Looking at the stars above, she whispered

Ridhima: kahin to...... Kahin to hogi wo, duniya jahan to mere saath hai.

~♥~

Let's admit that I forgot writing and there's always some shit coming over. I really miss my old self who was able to write something so romantic and dreamy.

Now, I wrote this because I have seen, many people take rejection in a wrong way or take a 'no' as 'Yes'. That's totally wrong. And every love story don't have happy ending, Vansh and ridhima will be forever together but as best friends.

Learn to take rejections and learn to respect others feelings.

OK so no target because wo to kabhi pura hone se raha.

Till my next update take care, stay safe and stay healthy.

Byeeeeeee
