Suhana sat in her balcony sipping coffee in her favourite mug which Aarav had gifted her seven years ago.

"Life moves on,with or without you" said Suhana with a faint smile to herself as she stared Aarav's picture on the mug.

How much annoyed he was that day..Rains spoiled his date with her. Still,when she said him to teach her driving,he didn't said no. And when Nayan did a video call to her brother,he made faces like this. Suhana completed his life.

Sometimes it becomes difficult to live without a person who gave you endless memories to live with. Life never remains the same,though it hurts her often but Suhana doesn't share it with anyone even if it's her sister Aahana. He always wanted her to be on his side but as fate would have it,he left a great void in her life.

Getting even with the person that broke your heart will never give you peace. The only thing that will heal your wounds is believing that God loves you enough to bring someone else into your life to respect you and love you in the way you deserve!. It was Kairav's mistake which killed her love,her soul and her everything which rested in Àarav. But,she is trying to forgive him.

Sudden remembrance of Kairav made her turn back to those unusual proposal days of Aarav in her college time.

Flashbacks (in Suhana's point of view)

"STOP!!!!!!"

"Guys I found a perfect song, totally romantic and perfect for the moment"

So 1... 2... 3... LETS GOOO
MAIN RAHOON YA NAA RAHOON
TUM MUJHME KAHIN BAAKI REHNA

And this ladies and gentlemen is called life.

I had a huge grin plastered on my face. It was a girl's day out; Priya, Krishnaa, and I decided to have some fun and we are inside the forest on our little adventure. We are trying to find a lake to settle down and open our picnic basket. And let me tell you it gets a little tiring after you walk for a while.

Im all the time trying to balance myself walking between these huge rocks and slippery ground, guess that's what you get for being so clumsy. My energy levels re-boosted when we decided to sing our heart out, we sang every possible song we could remember in the loudest decibel possible. Thanks to our not-so-awesome singing skills, we've not been attacked by wildlife creatures. Yes, we're that bad. Hahahahaha

It's drizzling and the cool breeze is kissing me. I love this weather, I could live here for the rest of my life, it's definitely better than the hot and humid city weather.

At times like this I wish Aarav was here, it would feel so nice to keep holding his hand, resting my head on his shoulder and his arms wrapped around me and we could keep singing songs and walk through the forest.

I mentally slapped myself for the thought, stupid Suhana, stupid...

Don't think about him, it'll just distract you further and you promised Priya and Nayan to spend the day with them. You can have Aarav all to yourself later. But damn, I miss him though. I sigh at the helpless state of my heart.

"BOOO"

Our singing is interrupted by some noise. Oh-my-god is that some animal, or a vampire, or a werewolf or some ghost. I knew it! I knew they do really exist; my friends should have listened to me. Oh god, now what? I don't want to die so early, I didn't even say my goodbyes. What if...

I turn around and start shouting

"AHHH"

I sound like a dying cat, good, atleast they'll run away. Yay

Im trying to run, but my face collided against a hard chest. I close my eyes out of fear.

Happy thoughts. Think about the happy times Suhana, yes that's right. Just go to the happy world. Suddenly I hear the sound of laughter entering my ears. Wait what? Why is this who-ever-the-hell-they-are laughing?

Do I look funny? AM I TRAPPED?????? But the last time I remember I didn't fall on my running-as-fast-as-possible mission.

Just breathe Suhana, its nothing. Ya right, it could just be some ghost, a harmless vampire or werewolf. There's nothing you can't fight. Yes, now that's the spirit. Open your eyes and fight.

I slowly open my eyes, and my eyes are met with the sight of a familiar smirk. I see the person infront of me rolling hard on the dirty-forest-mud and laughing.

I thank god the person in front of me is not someone like I imagined. But... that someone is my BOYFRIEND. How dare he?

I groan loudly when Aarav stands in front of me

"Yo...y--y---o"u-u"u-u   s"h-o"ul"d   hav"e    se"en y-o-u-r f-a-c-e" Aarav manages to say in between his laugh, trying to keep a straight face.

I could feel the heat and my anger levels were rising.

"YOU STUPID GOOD FOR NOTHING JERK, URGHHH. I. HATE. YOU." I said emphasizing on each of the last words.

I stomped my feet hard on the ground and started walking. Now where are Priya and Nayan? I could see Kinshuk, Karan and Krish standing with Priya and Nayan. Nice way to spoil our plans. Way to go guys. I headed towards them.

"Soha"

He kept calling me but I refused to look at him. I kept my face down and started walking cursing Aarav in every name possible. I didn't know when I lost my balance, thanks to my clumsiness and I prepared myself to kiss the ground and closed my eyes.

It's been 10 seconds, why can't I feel the ground? I slowly opened my left eye. I see Aarav's face right in front of me, only a few inches away from my face. I take a look around my surroundings and see that Aditya's one hand is around my waist and the other one was holding one of my hands to prevent me from falling. My knight without a shinning armour ofcourse in rescue. Awww.I blushed at that thought.

"I know im incredibly handsome and I feel honoured that im the reason for the redness on your cheeks" Aarav grinned.

Stupid arrogant jerk.

"Must you always be so self-conceited?" I smirked and astonished by the confidence at my comeback.

I pushed him but his hold became stronger. Why was he so strong? I pouted.

"Just leave me" I struggled more to get out of his grip.

"Soha you should know, the more you struggle it's going to be more difficult. You should let me handle, you know?"

I wanted to wipe of that stupid, evil smirk off his face.

I pushed him harder and finally I felt his hold loose. Yay, and that's how you win. Ha!

I was going to walk away when he held my wrist and pulled me back. Now our faces were just inches apart.

"You're annoying" I tell him

"You're so stubborn"

"You always tease me"

"You're always making fun of me"

"I love you" and that cut my insults to him. I felt breathless. I could feel my heartbeat and it felt like time had stopped. You think I would get used to him saying "I love you". No! I still felt nervous. And he always says it when I don't expect him to say it, like right now. Im shouting at him and he's listening to me silently. And now, all of a sudden he says "I love you"

His one hand rests on my cheek and the other wraps around my waist pulling me closer to him. I can feel my cheeks burn.

"Stop blushing Soha, I'm right here"

This made me blush harder.

I give in and hide my face in his chest, wrapping my arms around him.

"I hope you know I hate you" I mumble into his chest.

"Naah you love me, I don't think you can live without me" and he hugs me back.

I giggle, "Your wish Aarav"

"I know Soha"

He breaks he hug and his lips linger on my forehead for a while before we start walking towards the rest of them.

"About time that you two decided to come back" Kinshuk smirked.

"As much as I love to be in your company, will you please elaborate why did you'll crash our girl's day out? Now which part of GIRL'S-DAY-OUT did you not understand?" Nayan yelled

Priya and I looked at the boys with pity; Krishnaa was going to kill them with her own bare hands.

"Come on Minnie, you know this trip will be a lot more fun if you will have our company" Aarav tried to calm her

"But we decided on the NO-BOYS-RULE', you can't intrude our plans bhai just like that" Nayan cried out loud

Priya and Karan were lost in their own lala world; they didn't bother paying attention to Nayan.

Nayan threw angry glares to Samar, Krish and Aarav, when Karan threw her over her shoulders and started walking.

"LET ME GO" Nayan started hitting Samar.

"If not the other way, it's my way babe" Samar smirked and continued walking with Nayan.

All of us giggled at Nayan's poor attempts to chase them out of our little trip. After what felt like years, we finally found a beautiful lake in between the forest. The boys helped us in putting up the tents and the sleeping bags in each tent. We had two tents, one for the boys and one for girls. Fortunately the boys were smart enough to carry their own necessities when they decided to crash our trip, if not would have been on a long date with the flies. Hahahahaha

It had been late evening by the time we all settled in our camp. We had dinner and now were seated around the bon fire with Kairav in between, telling us some ghost stories. When everybody were engrossed into the story deeply, Aarav caught my wrist and pulled me out and started walking and I had no other choice but follow him.

"Aarav where are we going?"

"We're going to take a walk, come" he held out his hand and intertwined our fingers.

The touch of his hand gave me goosebumps. It was the best feeling, the love of your life holding your hand and walking. It gave a sense of protectiveness, like nothing can happen to me; Aarav will always be there to protect me. It feels so weird that being in love can make me smile because of small little things, something as small as holding hands but it makes me happy.

We kept walking and Aarav stopped. He laid the blanket he was holding on the ground and sat on it. He pulled me towards him and I landed on his lap. His arms encircled my waist and I could inhale his scent. This is what I wanted, spending every moment possible with him. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow; I wanted to make the best of every moment living with him.

"Hey Aarav"

"Hmmm"

"I love you"

I could feel him smile.

"I love you more" with that his grip tightened on my waist and he pulled me closer to him.

Aarav rested his head on the ground, I shifted to the side and I lay beside him with my head resting on his chest.

"Soha answer this"

"What?"

"Who is the most handsome and sexy guy?"

"Let me think..." I teased him

I acted like I was thinking, my finger tapping on my cheek.

"Not you" I told him with a smirk.

Next thing I knew was I was attacked to the ground, with Aarav above me and he started tickling me.

"HAHAHHA... Aarav stop"

"Now, now Soha tell me, who is the handsome and sexy guy"

"NO"

"You called this yourself Soha"

And he tickled me on my sensitive spot. I was breathless.

"Okay-okay, wait"

"I'm waiting"

"Aarav, you are the handsome and sexy guy. Now happy?" I asked him

"Very, thanks for the compliment Aadishree, I knew you couldn't deny it, I'm irresistible and I know" he had a huge grin playing on his lips.

"You're so full of yourself"

"But you still love me"

I smiled at him, No matter how annoying he may be, he could be a jerk sometimes but he was the sweetest guy on earth, a perfect boyfriend and I can't deny this. I love him a lot.

I looked up and the sky was filled with stars. I smiled to myself.

"Can you see those stars?" I asked him

"Hmmm"

"When I die, ill be the brightest star in the sky" I told him happily.

People say, when we die, we become a star. I wanted to be one and I wanted to be the brightest star in the sky. That thought made me happy.

Aarav didnt respond.

"Aarav"

I turned to look at him and I found him sad and tears brimming in his eyes.

"Aarav what happened?" I aksed concerned

"You promised you won't talk about leaving me, but you didn't think twice when you said you'll die"

Aditya hated to talk about death; he didn't want to lose me..but in present he left me.

"I'm sorry" and I hugged him tightly.

"I love you Soha, I love... I can't even tell you how much. I'm crazy about you, I can't imagine living without you. You are everywhere, in my thoughts, my dreams, and my reality. You mean everything to me. I love you the most"

At that moment I realized I hurt him with my words. I couldn't get that emotionless face out of my head. It pained to know that I was the reason for his pain; I vowed never to talk about this again.

I felt his grip tighten on me, with the fear that he would lose me.

"You want to listen to the song on my mind?" I asked him, trying to divert his attention.

"Yes Soha, go on"

"I just want to say that I don't want you to be a perfect person. I just want someone to act silly with, someone who treats me with respect and love being with me more than anything"

I could feel his smile widen.

"Aarav what about you?"

"What me?"

"Which song?"

"There's this one song which reminds me of you"

"Sing it" I pleaded him.

"Okay".

He got up and pulled me to his side. He pulled me close and put my arms on his shoulder and his arms encircled around my waist. He looked into my eyes, whispering I love you' before he started the song.
