It was amazing, the feeling of loving someone. The shy glances, the butterflies in the stomach and the excitement of meeting again. You were a perfect gentleman. Never made me cry, never broke my heart. Always made me smile by fulfilling my every dream.

But now I wish you had broken my heart. I wish you hadn't been a gentleman to me. I wish you made me cry. I wish you never helped me achieve my dream. My dream was you. To make you mine. You fulfilled it. But never said the words back.

I wasn't your dream like you were mine.

I wish you had never gone along with my plan. I wish you never met me. I wish that you had left me at the altar.

So many wishes left unfulfilled. Why couldn't you be one of them?

Why did you play with my feelings? Why did you never love me as I loved you?

Why am I unwanted?

I was in an illusion that you made. The illusion of Happy life with you.

Why did you break all your vows? The answer to all these was that you loved her. Since the beginning. Then why did you propose?

I remember the day you proposed to me. It was Valentine's Day. Love was in the air, couples making plans. I could feel your gaze on me from time to time. I saw the rose in your hand as you hid it behind your back when you saw me. I could feel the thorns of mine as well under my coat.

I was sitting in the maths class. The teacher was teaching determinants. My mind wasn't on determinants. It was on you.

I smiled while imagining your reaction when I give the Rose to you. I looked around the class and saw the same bored expressions on their face. Nobody was interested in determinants. Why would they take a maths class on Valentine's day?

I mean- *ouch*

My thought process came through a pause when a paper landed on my head. I frowned at the handwriting. Turning around I saw Karthik smiling at me. He pointed at the paper and then moving his head from side to side forming a heart with his hand near his chest.

"This letter is written by your heart?" I asked him laughing at his antics. He nodded and then pointed his finger towards me, then his head while smiling at me.

"You know me *wink*"

If someone else saw him then they will surely admit him to a mental ward. But we always played this game of charades in between classes.

I opened the chit and saw the message.

"Meet me after class"

I turned towards him and raised my eyebrows.

He nodded and then went back to paying attention in the class like a nerd. He was a nerd you can say. But the cool type.

But Sid was the coolest. I don't know maybe I have started falling for him.

This is love, right?

After a few turns of pages, the class ended. I got up and waited for Karthik.

"You wanted to talk to me?" I asked him as he joined me.

"Yeah I wanted to ask you something," He said to me his ears red.

"Okay ask," I said to him.

"Um, there is this friend of mine he likes a girl a lot. He doesn't know if the girl likes him back or not. But she is attentive to him. So today he prepared a date for them but is confused if he should ask the girl out or not. What do you think?" He asked me biting his nails nervously.

"He should ask her out frankly. If she is the one then he should try his best to woo her. And I am sure if the girl likes him back she will understand if he is always there for her" I told him my honest opinion.

"Then I will always be by her side even if she rejects me..." He said to himself slowly.

"Who is she?" I asked him teasingly bumping my bag with his. Our conversation was cut off when we saw Sid.

"Hey, guys! How is the day going?" He greeted us. We talked for a while. Then separated after we reached the garden.

"So did you exchanged roses with someone?" I asked Sid.

"Me? No, I don't believe in Valentine's Day" He replied.

"Oh okay. Do you wanna grab a cup of coffee?" I asked him.

"No, let's take a stroll in the garden" He replied. I agreed and we started walking towards the garden.

"There is a space between the bushes where people don't usually come. Let's go there" He said to me. I nodded and he started leading me there. I heard a piece of soft music playing as the place got clearer. I gasped as I saw a beautiful tent set up with a table and chairs.

"Sid this is beautiful!" I exclaimed hugging him. I was jumping when he got on one knee.

"Rosie you are an amazing person. The type of person I will love to spend my life with. I am scared that I will lose you after college ends next month. That's why I wanted to ask you something. Will you marry me?" He asked me to remove the rose that I saw earlier from his pocket.

"Yes," I squealed in happiness. I got down on my knees as well and hugged him.

"I love you, Sid" I confessed looking into his grey eyes.

"I know princess," He said smiling adorably.

We had a great dinner after that talking to each other. Love was certainly in the air.

I chuckled at the memory. I was a fool, still am. Tossing around the bed I finally found a perfect position. I looked at his face, it was not completely visible just slightly visible with the moonlight. I smiled looking at his face.

"Did you see? I am still here, even if you broke my heart" I whispered to him. Touching my stomach lightly I smiled sorrowly as my hand found the bump. A tear slipped from my eye as I realised what my life has become now.
