I Love You...

She leaned forward and told him, in a soft but firm voice: I Love You...

The Three words... Just three words... but he had to wait three years for just these three words...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" I love you.." , he said.

She was silent. He continued, " I'm not asking you to love me. But, I'm just informing you that I love you."

She had not said a single word to him. She had been watching him in the class everyday.. watching his smile which had not asked her to love him.. but which told her that he love her.. She felt she was as hard as rock. She knew what she wanted to become in life. She felt that love is just a fool's paradise and she would never think about it.

She was walking in the rain. No umbrella... No raincoat... She just wanted herself to be in the rain. Suddenly, she heard a voice ...

" Hi.." , he wished her, brushing his wet long hair not to fall on his face.

"Oh.. how come u r here ? " , she asked in a surprise tone.
" Well... I just saw you and thought of speaking with you."

" about what?", she asked.
" about anything... or may be .. nothing... but just wanted to talk...", he said.
"Do you like walking in the rain?", she asked playing with the raindrops.
"I like walking with you.." he told her.
She was silent... silent for the rest of their walking...


It was her birthday and he called her. She expected a birthday wish from him. But he said, " I love You"..
Later in the afternoon, he gave her a love letter. She read it and pointed out 7 grammatical errors and 5 spelling mistakes.

He smiled and she was silent.

They were standing at the bus stop. It was a cool winter evening.

She asked him: " Why do you love me?"
He said, " I don't know. There are a some things in life which you cant do by making a choice. They just happen."
She asked," What will u do if i die?"
" I will still love you..."

She was silent...
" You want a hot cup of coffee?" , he asked pointing to a shop on the other side of the road.
" Of course.." , she said.

He crossed the road and ordered two cups of coffee. She was watching him. She was thinking about him. Slowly, she felt that the rock inside her was melting...
He was crossing the road with two cups in both the hands and suddenly, a lorry hit him....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She leaned forward and told him, in a soft but firm voice: I Love You...

Three words... Just three words... but he had to wait three years for these just three words...

A drop from her eye had fallen onto his photo... and she was still silent...looking at his picture..
