I was sure that everything went to its place as he didnt called for two days ,it was as if I won but then at the same time it was sad ,because maybe I was expecting him to call but then he called

I freaked out for a second but then picked the call

can we meet tomorrow ,at 3 p.m. ,usual coffee shop

umm.. Yes

do you still have that bracelet ,the one I had given you

No ,no I have no idea whether I still have it or misplaced it and I have to wreck my whole house to find that , still I said

yes, I will bring it

After the call first thing I did was to calm and tell myself that he asked to meet because he was going to say no and maybe he wanted his bracelet back and nothing more but even if just by one percent he said yes ,then after listening to my conditions he wont agree. After telling all this to myself the search operation for that bracelet began ,

literally my whole room became a mess and after a lot of efforts I finally found it .once new but now old looking ,the color of the beads faded , its elastic became weak also it was small as it has been made for child

Next day at the college I was mentally preparing myself to meet him, like telling arnay its ok I understand that you dont want to accept conditions type of things in a relation or to tell him my conditions. I couldnt ask my friends for some advice because they were already suspicious after looking at blue rose and if by chance they got to know that he proposed me ,preparations for my marriage will start

During break time while waiting for my friends ,I heard a familiar voice so just went in that direction only to see the face I never wanted to see in my life and the next thing I did was hiding so that she cant see me . All these years maybe I kept praying to never cross paths with her or to meet her once just to ask her the question which till now keeps on haunting me but then when she was there i couldnt gather strength . After she left I went to the prescription counter to know whether she would come again or not , telling her name at the counter that I couldnt forget not even in my dreams and asking her next appointment was easy then confronting her .

your friend has to come after a week for her tooth cap insertion-the person on the counter said

friend , this word stings but anyway I will have one more chance of gathering my courage and asking her something I wanted to ask for so long.

And in all this I forgot about the meeting with arnay but thank god he texted me

you are coming , right???

yes

When I reached he was already there and maybe my distress was so evident that he asked

is everything ok??

yes

And I faked a smile . We went to one of the table and the first thing he said after getting seated was

I am ready

huhhh..

I mean , am ready for accepting for conditions ,whatever they may be

even without knowing what they are??

yes, but here is the thing ,accepting your conditions would make it more like a contract rather than a natural relation out of love , so lets try it for six months

and then??

either you will remove the conditions because I will make them useless or I will accept your all conditions for lifetime.

why are you so sure that it would work out?? I mean it can be like neither of us would want to continue it after six months.

maybe ,instincts. So tell me will you agree to give it a try.

yes

He was amused because he must have thought I would refuse , I wanted to but then after looking at her I wanted to prove something even if not to her than to myself and ended up accepting the proposal.

honestly ,I thought you would refuse -he said

initially I thought that too ,but lets say today stars are in your favour -I replied
