Heartstrings Reattached

"Bro you sure, you wanna come?" his best friend asked. "Yes, of course I want to come, stop asking me the same question again and again." Aman replied. "For that, you need to stop asking me about Riddhi's arrival to the school reunion." Yes, Aman just couldn't wait to see his first love all over again in person that too after a prolonged wait of ten years. It was their school reunion which brought out so many hopes for them again. The two were highly strung. Somewhere inside, both were a bit patchy without each other. Did they want this to happen? Maybe yes.

So, finally it was the day of their reunion. Aman was already in attendance. In that very moment Riddhi arrived in a black saree and Aman just couldn't get his eyes off her, she was looking just charismatic. The feeling of love at first sight came along with him this time as well but who knew that he has got this feeling after a prolonged wait of ten years. In the moment a mutual gaze took place between the two. Aman taking the initiative, went up to Riddhi and uttered in a timid voice "Hi Riddhi! Remember me?" Riddhi, looking at Aman thought to herself "How can I forget this face and voice!" In the moment, Aman again said "Riddhi?" Riddhi trying to hide her delight said "Hi Aman! How are you?" This time Aman thought to himself "Was good till now, became better just after seeing you." Breaking Aman's mysterious thought, Riddhi said "Aman, do you wanna go outside for a while?" Aman showed his assent as naturally he was also waiting for this very moment only. They both stepped out, meanwhile Aman asked her "How are you?" Riddhi replied "I am good and what about you?" Aman said "I m also good, just got better after seeing you (whispering)" although Riddhi catched it but pretended as if she didn't.

Walking in a sauntering manner, cherishing each other's company, recalling their school romance, Riddhi asked "So, what's going on, how is life treating you?" Aman said "Quite good, left smoking", he was about to bring up a bit more but Riddhi just stopped him there only and said "Wait, what? You! Mr. Aman Verma left smoking, how is this even possible?" To which Aman replied "the thing that led to our separation is worth giving up on I believe", Riddhi didn't have a reply to it, she just smiled and had a sense of relief as it was a complete rejoinder from him. Aman asked her "You tell, how is it being the CEO of the big 4 you always wanted to work in?" To this Riddhi said "And what made you aware that I am working at this very post in my company?" He said "No! Nothing just learned that, so yaa". Though Riddhi was aware of the actuality that she was being stalked by Aman, she said "Its evenly how you feel after being a businessman and doing so great in life". Aman also got the sign that Riddhi was stalking him so he said "By the way you look enchanting in your new Facebook profile picture".

The two chuckled. In the moment out of curiosity, Aman asked "So, married yet?" To which Riddhi replied " Didn't you get any update on this as well from my Facebook profile?" Aman said "I suppose that even Facebook knows that you still like to keep your life private, that's why I couldn't manage to get any update from there." Herewith their endearing, uncomplicated and sarcastic ten year old talks returned back. Meanwhile Riddhi started feeling a bit chilly, so Aman gave her his jacket and Riddhi couldn't just resist herself from saying "Someone is seeking to be the romantic hero of a movie." To which Aman replied "This romantic hero debuted today only mam, as he has someone so mesmerizing beside him", Riddhi blushed this time. Aman stopped Riddhi, held her hand, looked into her eyes and asked "Do you miss me?" Riddhi said "Am I supposed to?" To which Aman had a single reply "Yes, I believe so, because I miss you" Although Riddhi also longed to see him but her heart never allowed her to confess this to him. She replied to Aman by saying "I don't know" to which Aman said "You don't need to answer this any longer, your eyes said everything that I ever wanted to hear." They both became a bit mushy. By then the reunion was over. Aman asked Riddhi "Can I drop you back home?" Riddhi couldn't just deny him. Was that the beginning of their incomplete love story once again? Let the answer remain silent. But the saying that "There is no end to love" was the perfect suited for those two at the moment.
