Daya woke up in the morning and was making breakfast for himself when he heard the door bell.

"Jarur ye shreya hi hogi firse. Ye ladki sunti kyun nhi hai meri" saying this he moved towards the door to open it. He found shreya's parents at the door. He was shocked. He welcomed them, made them sit on sofa and asked for tea or coffee.

"Beta hume bas apni beti ki khushiyon ke elawa kich nhi chahiye" shreya's father said.

"Mai samjha nhi"

"Beta hume pata hai ki tum sab samajhte ho par jatate nhi ho"

"Agar aap us baare me baat karne aaye hai toh main pehle hi shreya ko bata chuka hu apna faisla"

"Beta tum khud se aur duniya se kyun jhoot bol rhe ho" shreya's mother said.

"Mai koi jhoot nhi bol rha hu" He said trying not to meet their eyes.

"yhi baat apne dil se puch kar batao" shreya's Father said.

"Akhir kya kami h humari beti me jo tum usse nhi apnana chahte ho?" shreya's mother asked.

"Kami shreya me nhi h, usme tih koi kami hi nhi hai wo toh bahut achi h itni achi ki kabhi kisi ka bura nhi soch sakti, kabhi kisika dukh nhi dekh sakti, sabke sath pyaar se rehti h, wo toh sarvagun sampann hai, uske jaisa koi nhi hai" His eyes lit up while talking about her.

"Toh phir kyun nhi apna skte use" shreya's father asked.

"Kyunki mai uske layak nhi hu. Wo har khusi ki haqdar hai par mai use kuch nhi de sakta, yaha tak ek pariwar tak nhi. Har ladki ka sapna hota hai shadi karke ek pariwar basana par mera toh koi hai hi nhi apna kehne ke liya. Mujhe dar lagta hai kisiko pass aate paakar kyunki aaj tak jo bhi mere pass aaya hai wo dur chala gya hai. Shreya ko mai kush dekhna chahta hu jo ki wo mere sath rehkar shayad puri tarah se khush na reh paaye" He poured his heart in front of them.

"Tum kaise decide kar sakte ho ki shreya ki khushi kisme hai"

He looked at them shocked.

"Use sirf tum chahiye aur kuch nhi, aur rhi baat pariwar ki toh wo hum hai na, hum sirf shreya ke maa baap nhi h tumhare bhi h"

Daya's eyes Filled up with tears. He felt overwhelmed with their behaviour.

"Tum batao kya tum shreya se dur reh paaoge?" Shreya's father asked.

He down his head.

"Nhi reh paoge na. Toh tum kehte kyun nhi?" Shreya's mother asked.

"Haa thoda muskil hoga mere liye par mai reh lunga kyunki mai shreya ke liye best chahta hu" Daya said

"Shreya ke liye best tum hi ho" Shreya's mother said

"Par...." Daya started to say but was interrupted by SM

"Par var kuch nhi agar tum usse pyaar karte ho toh rok lo use" SF said

"Rok lo use? Kaha ja rhi hai wo?" Daya asked getting curious.

"Wo ja rhi hai humesha humesha ke liye ye sehar chod kar, tumse dur" SM said

"Agar tum usse pyaar karte ho toh rok lo use aur keh do use apne dil ki baat" SF said.

Daya was now guilt stricken. Because of him she was leaving this city. He loved her. Yes he loved her but wanted best for her. He thought that he was not good for her. He thought that he was thinking good for her to keep himself away from him but he was wrong. Their parents made him realize that he was wrong, he was not only harming himself but that poor girl also. He decided to stop her from leaving this city and especially him. He decided to confess his feelings today only. Yes he will tell her how much he love her. He took information from shreya's parents and left for airport to stop her.

When he reached there he saw Shreya on the gate. He didn't waste time and rushed to her. He grabbed her wrist and took her in side.

"Shreya I am sorry maine jo bhi kiya uske liye. Please ye sheher chod kar mat jao. Mai pagal tha jo soch baitha ki tumse dur jana hi tumhare liye acha hai. Please Shreya mujhe chod kar mat jao" Daya requested shreya looking into her eyes.

"Kyun na jaau aap hi toh jana chahte the yaha se isliye maine socha problem mujhse hai toh mai hi chali jaati hu"

"Mai pagal tha shreya, magar ab nhi ab mai tumhe kahi jaane nhi dunga mai tumse dur nhi reh paunga"

"Kyun?!"

"Kyunki mai tumse pyaar karta hu Shreya. Haa Shreya I love You. I love you Shreya. Bas keh nhi pata tha kyonki dar lagta tha ki kahi tum bhi mujhe chod kar chali na jao. Par ab nhi ab mai tumhare sath zindagi bitana chahta hu. Mai tumhe chahta hu" He confessed. Yes he confessed his feelings to the person he love the most. Tears formed in Shreya's eyes. She just hugged daya tightly as if she left him he will vanish in the air.

Daya broke the hug and placed a kiss on shreya's forehead and asked "Ab toh tum mujhe chod kar nhi jaaogi na?" He asked her innocently.

"Mai kahi nhi jaa rhi thi" She answered him making him confused.

"Matlab?" He frowned his eyes.

"Yhi ki mai ye sheher chod kar nhi jaa rhi thi mai toh bas yaha apni friend ko chodne aayi thi toh yaha se ja rhi thi mai nhi" She chuckled a bit and continued "Aaapko kisne kaha ki mai ye sheher chod kar jaa rhi hu?"

"Tumhare mammi papa ne" Daya answered.

Suddenly shreya's phone rang and it was her mother's call. She answered the call and put it on speaker.

"Haa mummy" Shreya greeted happily.

"Beta sab theek hai na waha"

"Haa mummy. Daya ko aapne jhooth bola ki mai ye sheher chod kar jaa rhi hu?"

"Haa aur kya karti, wo maane ko tyaar hi nhi tha"

"Thank you"

"Thank you aunty and uncle. Aaj aapko wajah se mai himmat juta paya hu. Thank you so much" Daya said.

"Thank you toh hume tumhe kehna chahiye jo tune humari beti ki khusiyan wapas lauta di. Aur ha ab aunty uncle kehna chod de mummy papa bolna shuru kar do" Both Shreya and Daya blushed at this.

"Acha theek hai mummy rakhti hu"

And she hung up the phone. Daya again hugged her and said

"Sorry Shreya, I am really sorry maine us din jo tumse kaha. Ab mai tumhare bina nhi reh sakta, ab mai tumhe apne se dur kabhi nhi jaane dunga. I promise" They were in embrace for few minutes when Shreya said

"Daya sir"

"Hmm?"

"Daya sir mujhe na bhook lagi hai toh kya hum lunch karne jaa sakte hai"

"Haa chalo"

It was already afternoon and returning home for lunch will take around 2-3 hours. So they decided to do lunch in one of the restaurant nearby. So officially it turned into an unplanned date just after the confession. They did lunch their while talking about their feelings for each other. After lunch they started to return home but due to traffic they were late. After 2 hours they freed from traffic. This was the time she noticed that he was not on the way to their home. He turned their car in a different direction. She was curious to know where they are going but kept quiet. He stopped the car near the beach and they stepped out of the car. He took her hand in his hand and started moving on the sand. They almost spent 1 hour only walking hand in hand with each other speaking nothing. He stopped and turned her to face him. He took her both hands in his hand caressing her hand with his thumb and said

"I am sorry Shreya maine jo tumhare sath suluk kiya. I am really sorry..."

"Aapki ye sach me aadat hai kya?" She asked.

"Kya matlab" He frowned.

"Are matlab ek hi baat ko baar baar dohrana"

"Kyun?"

"Who kya hai na pehle aap ye baar baar bolte rehte thi ki 'Shreya mai tumse pyaar nhi karta' aur ab subah se sorry bole jaa rhe hai. Are maine aapko maaf kar diya aap kyun itna tension le rhe ho" She chuckled.

"Pakka?"

"Are haa baba"

"I love you shreya"

"I love you too Daya sir" and she hugged him tightly forgetting the surrounding near them. After sometime they broke the hug. They stared at sea for some time then daya broke the silence.

"Shreya mai puri koshish karunga ki mera pyaar tumhare liye iss samundar ki tarah ho jo kabhi bhi khatam na ho"

"Mai wada karti hu ki mera pyaar is asmaan ki tarah hoga jiska koi ant nhi hai" Then again the silence prevailed as they were staring at the sea together. They walked a little more and then walked towards their car. There was no one around them. She broke the silence and asked him

"Waise aapne mujhe bataya nhi ki aap mujhse dur kyun bhaag rhe the?"

Daya was little hesitant to share but when she took his hand in her to assure him he took a deep breath and started.

"Shreya jaisa ki tumhe pata hai ki mera is duniya me koi nhi hai mai akela hu. Mai humesha se tumhe pyaar karta tha isliye tumhare liye humesha best chahta tha kyonki mujhe tumhare liye mai perfect nhi lagta tha. Mai humesha se akela tha na koi maa baap na koi bhai behan, sirf mai tha. Pehle bhi do ladkiyan mujhe dhokha de chuki hai isliye darta tha ki agar koi mere pass ayega aur phir dur chala jaayega toh mai tut jaungi. Mai darta tha isliye mai tumhare pass nhi aana chahte tha. But now no going back. I want to be yours forever. Will you be mine forever?"

"Yes Daya sir I will be yours forever" She confessed looking into his eyes. The next moment she attached her lips with his and tried to vanish all his insecurities. He was surprised at first but then responded to her with same passion. They broke for oxygen. He attached his forehead with hers.

"Ab jab humne ek dusre ko apne dil ki baat bata di hai toh tum mujhe ye sir bolna band karo" Daya said

"Bilkul nhi" She laughed and ran towards car before he could catch her. As the sun set they started their new journey of their life with each other.
