PART 1 :

      Rishi Khurana, a boy brought up into a wealthy family, enjoyed a luxurious life. He was down to earth personality with a 'Heart of Gold.' His day started at 5 am with a morning walk, by 7 am he used to get ready for his breakfast with his family and after 9 am he used to get back to his work. On weekends, he used to spend some family time and sometimes he used to party with his friends. He was a very straight forward guy, his mind and heart reflected on his face. Rishi was very much intelligent and smart, so, he plans to study MBA in Canada. He flies to Canada from Mumbai International Airport.

      Yuvika Malhotra was a stubborn, full of attitude and egoistic girl from a rich family. She got this attitude from her beauty as she was very beautiful. She enjoyed staying in foreign countries, so, she planned to complete her master's studies in Canada. Even Yuvika flies to Canada from Banglore.

     Their (Rishi and Yuvika's) flight reaches Canada Airport at the same time. While collecting the luggage, their bags get exchanged. When walking towards the luggage missing counter the both coincidently see their bags and exchanged it by themselves, as they are in a hurry to reach the college. On the first day of college, they meet again at the college auditorium for the inauguration ceremony. Rishi looks Yuvika at once but Yuvika states that "I think I have seen you somewhere?" Rishi thinks how forgetful someone can be and replies to her that, "We met at the Canada Airport while exchanging our bags at the missing counter." After the inauguration ceremony, both of them go out for dinner and chit-chat while dining together. Rishi asks Yuvika where is she going to stay in Canada. Yuvika replies that she'll be staying in the hostel and asks the same question to him. So, Rishi answers that I have my own house in Canada so I'll be staying there. Rishi being straight forward guy, directly asks Yuvika, "Would you like to stay with me at my place as we are from the same college and we have become friends as well?" Yuvika at once replies to Rishi, 'OKAY.'

      As they both become very busy with their studies they just meet in the morning during breakfast and in the night during dinner. This routine continues for more than 6 months. After completion of their semesters, Rishi and Yuvika plan to go on a college trip to Paris. On the way to Paris, Rishi and Yuvika come to know each other like's and dislike's as they talk a lot. They get so much lost while talking that they don't even realise that they had reached their picnic spot. Rishi's tall and dashing personality attracts Yuvika towards him, but her egoistic behavior stops her from saying him that, "She is interested in him." At night, during the bonfire, while enjoying with their friends Rishi questions Yuvika, "DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE?" She stubbornly replies, "NO, LOVE DOESN'T EXIST." After hearing no from Yuvika he starts briefing a love story to Yuvika.

     21 years old, Mr.Kuldeep Khurana after completing software engineering from Mumbai returns back to his hometown Haryana. He asks his parents to seek their permission to go back to Mumbai for his further studies. His parents grant him permission only on one condition, before going back to Mumbai he has to get married. He agrees with his parents' condition. The next morning, his parents say him to get ready, as they had planned to visit the girl's place to whom Kuldeep is supposed to get married. Kuldeep sits silently at the girl's place, looking at the girl playing in the balcony. Kuldeep is mesmerized by the girl's beauty, her messy hair tied into a bun, her flicks covering her brown eyes, sweet voice, and her kiddish behaviour. Looking at that girl he thinks that he'll be getting married to that girl. But when Kuldeep returns back home he comes to know that, the girl whom he was supposed to get married didn't come at his place and who he saw was her neighbor Naina Khanna.

     Kuldeep insisted to his parents that he wants to get married to Naina as she is very beautiful. His parents try to explain to him that Naina is a nice girl, but from a middle-class family, so they won't be able to give us anything. But Kuldeep in pleasing tone convince his parents and says, "I just want Naina and nothing else because she is the one who can be my better half for the whole life." Finally, his parents talk to Naina's family and confirm their marriage date. Kuldeep can't take away his eyes from Naina as she is looking gorgeous in red saree. She is like a princess ready to marry her prince charming.

      After marriage, Kuldeep returns back to Mumbai along with Naina. Kuldeep and Naina didn't get much time to spend with each other as everything happened very quickly. But Kuldeep made sure that he spends some quality time with Naina as most of the time he is busy with his work. Kuldeep made sure that he adds a new saree to Naina's wardrobe collection every month.

     On Naina's birthday, Kuldeep took her on a 'DREAM CRUISE,' for dinner. Before dinner, Kuldeep proposes Naina and surprises her with a Solitaire. While dining together, Kuldeep is so much engrossed in his wife that he doesn't care about what's going in the surrounding. After dinner, they danced together. Naina blushes to look at Kuldeep. While dancing with Naina, he recites a poem for her,

" The apple of my eye,

The gem of my heart,

Nothing in the world;

Can ever keep us apart.

The feather in my cap,

The reason for my heartbeat,

My Beautiful Wife;

You make my life complete."

     After hearing such a lovely poem from her husband, she can't control her emotions and tears roll down her cheeks. As Kuldeep can't see his beautiful wife crying, to make her smile he says, "I HATE TEARS NAINA." (they both smiled). They happily enjoyed their night in 'DREAM CRUISE.'

     The next morning, they went back to their small happy world and as usual, they started with their routine life. Naina made sure that when Kuldeep returns home from his work she would prepare delicious food for him.

PART 3 :

     As they were busy with their lives, they didn't even realise that they had happily completed one year of their marriage. One day before their anniversary, Naina comes to know that she is pregnant. On their first marriage anniversary, she plans a surprise candlelight dinner for Kuldeep. When the doorbell rings, Naina rushes to open the door and sees her Prince Charming. Naina is amazingly dressed up in a sea-green coloured gown and the house was wonderfully decorated with candles and rose petals. Naina blushes and surprises Kuldeep by mentioning that, " A new member is going to enter into our lives who'll cherish all our dreams." After hearing such wonderful news he cuddles her into his arms. During this period, Kuldeep pampers Naina and makes sure that she lives in a comfort zone.

     Finally, the day arrives when Naina gives birth to a baby boy. They both made sure that they fulfill their child's each and every wish. His parents teaching made him a kind and caring person. His parents planned a party for him as he had completed his graduation successfully. After a few days, their son says to them that he wanted to study abroad as he wants to complete his masters. Kuldeep happily agrees to his son's decision but Naina refuses because he is the only child of his parents and he is, " The apple of her eye." Kuldeep and his son try to convince Naina and she finally agrees to their decision. They happily send him abroad for his further studies.

     One fine day, while cooking food Naina faints. Kuldeep without even wasting a minute calls the doctor. After a check-up , the doctor asks Kuldeep to get some tests done. After getting the reports he visits the doctor. While going through Naina's reports doctor sadly informs Kuldeep that she is suffering from 'TUMOR' and has only a few days left with her. Hearing doctor's word Kuldeep becomes numb. On his way back to home, Kuldeep makes sure that whatever days left with his wife, he'll spend much of the time with her and make her feel the best.

PART 4 :

     The next morning, Kuldeep tightly hugs Naina and starts crying. Naina asks, " What happened Kuldeep? Is something wrong." Kuldeep in a soft voice replies, "NO, NOTHING." From that day onwards, Kuldeep becomes very much caring and protective towards her. This over-caring behaviour of Kuldeep makes Naina suspicious. Finally, the day arrives when Naina comes to know that she is suffering from an incurable disease known as 'Tumor.' On Friday night, before going to bed Kuldeep kisses Naina, smiles at her and wishes her, " GOODNIGHT, SLEEP WELL." Kuldeep didn't know that this would be his last night with his wife. In the morning, when Kuldeep tries to wake-up his wife, she didn't wake up as she had slept forever. When Naina was no more, Kuldeep realised that he loved her to the moon and back.

     When his son comes to know that his mother is no more, he returns back to Mumbai. While crying hard, Kuldeep says his son that;                     

In loving memory of my beloved wife :

" Those we love, remain with us,

For love itself lives on,

And cherished memories never fade ;

Because a loved one is gone.

Though parting brings sorrow,

Time soothes and shades,

And our memories grow sweeter ;

For love never fades."

      Kuldeep also reflects that " Your mother and I had never ever been apart from each other since we've got married and I don't think that I can live without her anymore." Saying this he went off to sleep.

"I'll just sit here and watch you walk away,

While I hold on the memories;

We've made till this day."

     As Kuldeep couldn't bear the loneliness, even he passed away while dreaming about Naina. After a few days, Kuldeep's son flies back to abroad in order to complete his studies.

     While listening to this story, tears break down into Yuvika's eyes. While wiping her tears she said, " LOVE DO EXIST." Yuvika questions Rishi, " Is this story an imaginary one?" Rishi answers, "NO." This is a real love story and I am Mr. and Mrs.Kuldeep Khurana's son. After hearing this shocking news, Yuvika gets more attached to Rishi and says to him, " I LOVE YOU AND YOU MADE ME REALISE WHAT TRUE LOVE IS."

"Like an old photograph,

Time can make a feeling fade,

But the memory of a first love never fades."

"Like an old photograph,

Time can make a feeling fade,

But the memory of a first love never fades."
