A letter! It has been five days, yet undelivered." She worried, biting her nails.

"What!! Don't say you sent it by post?" He put his palm on his forehead

"Yes, I have. " She made a puppy face.

"You are mad. Total mad. Remember last time, how we drove to that village just to inquire about the post; that noon, and the hottest sun." He added.

"But, I love that way," she replied.

"Arre Pagli, you could have given me, and I would have delivered midway. And, you will kill me under today's sun," he looked up in false anger.

"But, a postman adds more charm. I'm a completely 90s era." She smiled, handing over the Scooty keys to him.

"By the way, it will take only one hour to reach there and inquire about the delivery of the post." She mixed.

"Oh God! How crazy! The address is only 15 minutes away from where we stand now, but you sent it by post, which takes the lowest 5-6 days to reach. My Suman from "Mein Pyar Kiya" keep a KABOOTAR and send letters and dance " Kabootarr Jaa Jaa Jaa...," he pushed her head a little.

" I'll dance when Aditya will be my PREM," she winked.

"I can't deny you, and you know it. I have tied the band of your friendship, na. Activa or Aviator? Cover your face with this scarf. The sun is burning." He concerned.

"Activa." She told.

He started the Scooty, and she sat behind.

"How much you love him, yaar! I don't know what to say. But, I feel jealous sometimes." He said.

"How much I do, I'm not sure. But yes, I love writing to death, and I love him a little more than I love words." She smiled.


"Is he a magician? I mean, you are difficult to be incarcerated by emotions," exclaimed he.

"I don't know whether he knows magic or not. The only thing is that he is difficult to love, but it's the most difficult thing not to love him. " Drops of emotions drenched her heart.

"He answered? " he questioned.

"Answer! To which question?" She backed a question.

"Of your three magical words," he replied.

"Is " I love you " a question to be answered? A simple sentence assembled with an S-V-O arrangement. Duffer, I stated, only not expecting his reciprocation. " She elucidated.

"Who can win an argument with a lady who is wise and full of weirdness? But your weirdness makes sense. That's the way you are different from the rest. Keep that madness blended with innocence and selflessness alive." He smiled back, she marked through the mirror.


She nodded, biting her tongue.


"Achha, listen. I'm going to bring a cold drink. Yours is a sprite ?" he told parking the Scooty roadside of the canal road.

"Yes. Sprite can," she replied.


"Come with me then. Why stand here? " he joined.

"No. I'm here. You go and bring." She denied.

"Okay. Wait for 5 min. I'll be back." He left.

She smiled at herself and her feelings.

"Without a relationship even, I'm feeling complete and living my fairy tale with commitment. No issue. Love happens at an unexpected time in this birth. But, he will be mine in the next birth. I'm happy with his refusal, too." Her mind narrated.

"Ayushi, move..." Aarav shouted from the back.

Ayushi turned to see Aarav rushing towards her and realized she was almost in the middle of the road. She noticed a truck was coming towards her with the fastest speed, leaving the shortest distance in between.

She could not react, and the truck belabored her because of its technical fault.

Within no time, a crowd gathered, and Aarav stood there motionless, tearless, and voiceless.

A phone ring made him touch the situation.


From the other side," Ayushi, I received your letter. Can we meet this evening?"

Aarav felt suffocation hearing Aditya's voice, " Ayushi is no more."

Aditya could not believe what he heard. He looked at the letter kept on his table open, and her last lines,

"I'll keep falling in love with you in every birth I take. Please, come once with the time of life to listen to what my heart speaks.

Yours always.

- Ayushi "
