She looked at him trying to take in every bit detail, tomorrow she would be gone.

"Are you okay Anika?" He asked as she stared at him strangely.

She nodded and smiled."As long as you are with me, I will be okay!"

He smiled and kissed her forehead. "I will always be with you!"

Hesitatingly, she asked him whether he would love her the same tomorrow.

"Anika, what are you saying, I will love you no matter what!" he spoke softly, caressing her cheeks.

"What if I do something bad?" She asked her eyes growing moist.

"I know you won't !" he said in a crisp confident voice, now wondering where the conversation was going. He assumed her fearful insecurities were speaking.

She smiled and extended her finger towards him-"Promise Me you will never hate me! I can't bear your hate!"

He looked shocked, why was she behaving in this manner?
The Fear, he reminded himself.

"No matter what, I will always love you, even if you want me to hate you, I will only love you!" He promised, his eyes teary.

Dil Se Dil Ka Ye Mel Sanam

Jo Kal Ho Jaaye Kam

Haalat Bigad Bhi Jaaye Agar

Hum Bicchad Bhi Jaaye Agar

Yaadon Ke Chaand Shikaare Par

Main Tumse Milne Aaunga

Main Phir Bhi Tumko Chaaunga...

She hugged him placing her forehead against his chest. She let the tears stream down, and stayed in his arms, wishing the time stopped. He hugged her back, a smile of contentment on his face.


Not aware of what the new morning would bring him.

There Love Was Eternal.!
