Their names said it !

~~ हर आहट तेरे आने की दस्तक लगती रही
चाँद भी तेरे इंतज़ार में आसमान से चला गया~~


Staring through the window for past three hours, the glass started appearing hazy but the view across it remained the same. The street preceding her apartment , as busy as ever seemed deserted to her. Drinking a glass of water, she tried to explain herself every possible reason as to why couldn't  he show up.
Maybe he has actually left and wont come, or maybe he is there on his way, stuck in heavy traffic, he loves surprising me, I must wait."
The flickering mind of a human and the hopelessly hopeful heart of a girl, she decided to call him once more but got the same recorded heart breaking answer.
"The number you are trying to reach is switched off. Please try again later. "
With a sinking heart she opened up her diary to a page that had a letter written by her almost a month ago and a photograph.

Dear  
Amber,
I have lived in this city for some three years but its only after you came here, I feel I belong to this place . I never believed that the sunset on Juhu beach was any different from what I saw from my terrace until one day you took me there, that day with the light getting dimmer I could see more and more into my own heart and believe .With my shadow coalescing right into yours  I wanted that moment to freeze there and then. You've made me learn to smile at every little thing around and now I do because you say that makes me look prettier. I used to hate surprises and you love astonishing me with your plans.. "plans of happiness" as you call them. I also used to hate planning and like every other birthday I had planned a lot nothing about how would I spend the day but right with zero hour you made me  celebrate it. That day looking at you I thought to myself about how much you make me happy, weather you know it or not. You gifted me this diary to write down everything that is somewhere inside me because I don't speak a lot. I have written a lot since then but nothing suffices enough to say what I feel about you.
~~ रास्ते बिखर जाते हैं रास्तों में 
खो गए हैं हम तेरे दिल की राह नहीं मिलती ~~
I've thought a lot about confessing this to you, like a many times but I am scared of not ending up with you, I am scared that you would go someday leaving me alone here in this city. I have started loving surprises as long as you are the one who has planned it. I have also started planning . On this new years I've planned of giving you back this diary, to let you get acquainted with what I'v dreamt about us. Its a beautiful dream and I don't want to get up. I am scared of what you said about our names the other day, I am scared that  we don't belong together. 
Leher

With the strike of 12 o clock when the whole world stepped out into the new year she pulled her blanket over her face and with another letter under her pillow she went to sleep to come out of the dream.

Dear Leher
I will never be able to express in words what these three months have given to me , so many good friends , a wonderful experience of living and loving this city and of course  the memories  that you gave me. I know you love writing and that is why I am giving you this last message in written. Since my project has completed I'll be leaving  for London on 31st December. I know you had plans for the new year but I am really sorry I have to leave on that very day. Stay as charming as you are and have a great year ahead.
Amber
