ETERNAL LOVE

4th November,2015-
As I looked at the wedding card,a gush of memories flooded my mind.
I couldn't believe that all this was happening. Tears fell from my eyes and soon I was transported to the past.

10th April, 2010-
The first day of the last year in college. I was busy hunting a seat for myself when I saw him enter the classroom. Damn ! My eyes got glued on him and I didn't even realize that I was staring at him like an idiot, until he came right in front of me and said "excuse me?" I startled and replied "yes?"
Like any other classmate,he asked me to take a seat and went ahead.
I didn't know what was happening to me but surely kuch gadbad tha.
8th June, 2010-
"Shall I drop you home?", Rohit questioned.
While I was wondering what to reply he said," come on, sit in the car Prachi."
We were friends by now and talked to each other often. However, I still couldn't figure out was happening to me.I just kept moving on with the flow. He dropped me home and returned back.
We used to chat with each other daily for some time, eventually which became a habit.
We often met in college and at night I would wait for his text.
July,2010-
By this time I had realized what I felt for him but somehow I didn't want to accept the fact.I kept convincing myself that it's not so,but my heart wasn't likely to listen. At times when I talked to him,I felt that he also feels the same,but I remained silent.
18thAugust, 2010-
As time passed, we grew closer to each other. My feelings had now taken a different shape and it became difficult to ignore them.
Early in the morning after attending the class,he came up to me and asked,"what are your plans for today? " "Nothing much" I replied.
"Let's go out somewhere? " said he and with anticipation I just nodded.
We decided to visit a park nearby.
We generally talked while walking around when he suddenly held my hand.I looked at him with amazement but he behaved casually. At that moment I didn't say anything and after sometime he held my hand even tighter. My heart was pounding that time but I chose to remain silent.
Later that night ,as I recalled the moment spent together, I became quite sure that he also possessed similar feelings.
12th November,2010-
Early in the morning ,around 6 am we both were texting each other when suddenly Rohit called me up.
I received the call, and whispered
 " kya hua?"
"Pyaar ho gaya hai." He said.
"What?" I jumped out of my bed in excitement."kisse?"
"Padosi se" he replied.
"Accha?"
"Tumse idiot.
I love you. "
December, 2010
"But why don't you understand Prachi? We cannot be together. "
"Problem kya hai Rohit?said I
"We both come from different backgrounds and our standard of living is also very different. We cannot be together. It's of no use"
 "Don't you love me Rohit?"
"Yes I do. But I cannot get into a relationship with anyone.I have to work hard and support my family.
You won't ever be happy with me."
"I won't be happy without you either.
I know that we'll have a lot of problems. But if you're with me,I'm ready to face them all."
"Prachi you're not understanding.. "
"I don't want to understand also.
I just know that I love you and I can't live without you."
This thing went on for several days.
We broke up a hundredth times and returned back again because ultimately we couldn't stay apart.
February 2011-
By now we both had realized that it's useless trying to stay apart and it's not going to work like this.
I asked Rohit to decide finally whether he wants to be with me or not because breaking up and patching up again again wasn't the solution. I was very serious this time. After keeping all this in mind, Rohit decided to stay.
We both decided to wait for the right time until he gets settled before telling our parents.
With lots of love,understanding, fights, care and patience we walked together in our journey.
Time was passing slowly but hope kept us alive.
Our love and desire to be together helped us to overcome all the hurdles  over the years until it was the time for the last battle.
April, 2015-
We finally informed our parents about us. We got a serious response as expected.
Rohit's family wasn't very surprised since they already came to know me in the previous years but my family was a bit shocked.
At first my father wasn't quite happy when he came to know that Rohit's financial position wasn't good. He didn't reject him instantly but neither granted permission.
After a couple of weeks Rohit called me and said,"maa ko unki bahu pasand hai."
I was overjoyed to hear that but at the same time worried about my parents. I knew they're not going to agree.
Later my mom told me that Rohit's financial position is not good and in future I won't be happy with him.
To which I replied, " I know that I will only be happy with him and no one else."
"But your Dad isn't agreeing for this relationship'said Mom
" Thik hai maa,I respect both of you and I won't go against your decision. But if I cannot marry Rohit,I won't ever marry anyone else." I said and left the room.
Months passed by and we didn't speak on this topic.Rohit had been very supportive and patient and said that he'll also wait for me because we both didn't want to take any wrong step to be with each other.

4th November, 2015(present day)-
With eyes full of tears,I lifted the wedding card.
The card on top of which was written 'ROHIT WEDS PRACHI' <3
