Love - As She Dreamt It

Teenage is an age full of dreams and that day , One of her dreams had come true  . Finally, she was going to her dream college. She was really excited and couldn't wait to start a whole new chapter of her life.   Aakriti , A girl who believes in true love and lives in her own dream world. With the dream of going to college ,  She also saw the dream of finding love in college and enjoying  college life with our partner . In every college , you will find a boy who is most popular and every girl has a crush on him . Every girl in the college dreams about falling in love with him . She felt the same when she saw him for the first time . After entering college , Aakriti went to the dance practice hall where she saw Aarav for the first time . His handsome face was shining with sweat beads and his hairs were all wet with sweat . The charm in his brown eyes and the happiness on his face while dancing made her heart beat faster .

“He is so handsome . I wish I could get a chance to date him.” A girl said .

“You know that  he will not date an ordinary girl  .” He is the only son of his rich father . 

In the afternoon , Aakriti went to the canteen. Aarav was sitting there with his friends . She took a seat behind them . 

“Aarav , look a fresher is sitting behind us . She is so beautiful.” His friend said to him . 

“How many times , I have to say the same thing to you ?  Don't trust girls and don't talk about their beauty in front of me .” Aarav said in anger . 

“Come on Aarav ,  move-on. Every girl in this college wants to be with you and you don't even look at them .” His friend Harsh said to him . 

Aarav was betrayed by his girlfriend in school . After that, he stopped believing in love . 

“She looks like a studious girl . Aarav will never date a girl like her . ” His other friend said . 

“I just want to focus on my passion and that is dancing not  these stupid girls .” Aarav said and went out . 

One day , Aakriti saw a notice on the board. It was about a dance competition . She wanted to participate in this competition because she also  loves to dance . Both Aarav and Aakriti started practicing hard for the competition . Finally , the day of the competition arrived . Girls  were  excited about Aarav's performance . When Aarav was performing girls were  shouting and cheering for him . He didn't care about them but when Aakriti started her performance, he couldn't take his eyes off her . He was mesmerized by her moves and expressions . Soon , it was  time for the announcement of results . Everyone was expecting that Aarav would win it as he won it last year also but everyone was in shock , especially Aarav . The winner of the competition was Aakriti . Aakriti happily walked towards the stage to collect her award . Aarav went out of the auditorium in anger . Harsh went after him .  

“Aarav , Stop .” Harsh was shouting his name aloud . 

Aarav stopped at the playground and Harsh went near him . 

I am trying to stop you . Why are you not listening to me ? 

Just leave me alone, Harsh? 

Bro , just talk to me . 

I used to hate girls and from now on , I will hate them all even more . How can a girl defeat me ? Akriti , now you will see my love full of hate . I will make your life a living hell . 

Bro , What are you going to do? 

Just wait and watch . From now on , she will be a loser in everything . 

The next day , Aarav was finding Aakriti . Finally , he found her sitting inside an empty classroom . 

Thank god , she is all alone . This  will make my work easy . He thought and went inside the classroom . 

Hello , Aakriti . I am Aarav . 

Aakriti was surprised to see him there. 

I know, hello. 

I wanted to congratulate you. 

Thank you . 

Welcome . Would you like to go for coffee with me ?

I am sorry but I have my class .

Don't tell me that you want to take a class . It's just so boring. 

Aarav had never attended a class . He is perfect in everything except for the studies. 

She thought for a minute and agreed . 

They both went to the canteen and ordered two coffees . 

Do you like dancing ? Aarav asked her . 

Yes . You also dance really nice .

When did you see my dancing? 

You were backstage on the day of the competition. 

Actually, I saw you performing on my first day here. 

Oh , I didn't see you there . 

You were busy in your practice.

Sorry , I didn't think it that way.

I must say you are really popular among girls here .   

It's the only thing I don't like .

Why ? 

It's because those girls are after my looks . I want someone who can fall in love with my heart and soul . 

That's beautiful . I can understand . Anyone can love  your beautiful face , but it takes someone really special , who can fall in love with your beautiful heart . 

I don't know about someone , but you are making me fall in love with you with your words . 

Aakriti blushed after hearing this . 

Will you be my best friend , Aakriti ? 

Sure , I would love to . 

Great . So now you're my best friend . 

After finishing their coffees , they both got ready to go home. 

How will you go home ?

By Bus . 

No , you can't travel by bus . It's late and it's not safe for you to travel alone . Come , I will drop you . 

“Thanks .” She said and got into his car . 

“I haven't even thought about it , not even in my dreams . The most famous boy at the college is dropping me home .” She thought inside her mind . 

She didn't even have any idea that the things which are making her happy now are going to give her lots of trouble in future . 

At night Aarav He sent her a text . She got  excited after seeing his name flashing on her mobile screen .

Hey , why are you still awake ?  

I can ask the same question from you , 

Mam . I am missing you that's the reason I texted you this late .  

Really . 

Aakriti was feeling excited and she wanted to chat with him . 

Yes . Are you not missing me ? 

I am also missing you . 

I knew it , that's why I texted you . 

I am going to sleep , Aarav . We will meet tomorrow in college . I hope you will understand . Actually , I am sleeping with my mom . 

Okay , no problem . Good night. 

Thanks , good night . 

Aahna's home had only one bedroom . 

“Sleeping with mom . Today , you are not talking with me  because you are sleeping with mom and after a few days , your mom will not talk with you because after a few days , you will sleep with me . Just look Aakriti , you defeated me in that dance competition , I will defeat you in this competition of life . ” He thought . 

The next  day ,  He was sitting with Harsh in the canteen . Their college was going  to organize a music concert and the preparations for the concert were going on. 

When is the music concert ? He asked Harsh . 

In the upcoming weekend  , why ? 

I have to do something special on that day. 

Harsh got excited . 

Really , What are you going to do ? 

You have to wait . 

Aakriti also comes there . 

Hello. 

“Hello Aakriti , Have a seat .”Aarav said . 

She took a seat beside him .

“Is something going on between you both?” Harsh asked in confusion . 

Yes , Something . Actually , there's nothing to hide from you . I am dating her .

When did this happen ? Harsh asked in surprise . 

You told me to move-on . So , I moved on. Aarav said smiling .

I can't believe this . You are really amazing Aakriti . All the girls are going to be so jealous of you . 

Aakriti was also confused . She was not able to say anything but from inside she was feeling happy and smiling. She got lost in deep thinking . Aarav was also feeling happy . Her happiness was soon going to make her cry . At night , She was dreaming of becoming Aarav's girlfriend . She was dreaming of having a beautiful future and to make beautiful memories with him . On the other hand , Aarav was planning to destroy her future . He was planning to change all her happiness into sadness . He wanted to ruin her life .

Although , Harsh knew that something was wrong . With this sudden change in Aarav's attitude , he thought that Aarav was planning something against Aakriti and this all is a part of his plan but he was not able to say anything because he was not sure . 

On the day of the music concert , Aarav took her to the playground . Suddenly ,  lots of rose petals fell on Aakriti . Aarav went down on one knee.

Aakriti was surprised . For her,  it was like a dream coming true . 

Aakriti, will you be my Girlfriend ? 

Are you sure ? 

Do you still have any doubt ? 

Yes , the thousand times yes . 

Aarav hugged her. 

After that magical night , Aakriti started spending more time with him . Day and night , the only person she thought about was him . He dialed her number . 

Hello , Sweetheart . 

Hello , Aarav . How are you ? 

I am very happy . 

Is there anything special ? 

It's my birthday . I need you to be here with me . Can you come ? 

Happy Birthday . You haven't told me about this . 

Sorry. Now , will you please come ? 

Aarav, your parents will also be there. 

No , they are going that's why I need you here with me . I am alone and I need to prepare for the party . 

Okay, I will be there soon. 

She reached his home in the afternoon. She hugged him. 

Happy Birthday . 

Thank you. 

He kissed her on the lips. 

Aakriti felt uncomfortable. It was the first time a boy was kissing her . 

What's wrong ? Why are you not coming inside ? 

Nothing. 

Aakriti, I kissed you and that made you uncomfortable, right. 

Yes.

Come on , you are my girlfriend. This all is normal .

Let's start the preparations . 

They both started with the decorations . Aakriti was standing on the ladder and putting balloons on the wall . Suddenly , the ladder started  trembling and Aakriti was about to fall but Aarav held her.

“Can this moment stop here?” She thought.

You need to be careful. 

Thank you. 

You should've harmed yourself.

Nothing can happen to me as long as you are with me. Her words made him feel guilty. 

“Why do her words  make me feel guilty for whatever I am doing? I can't have feelings for her .” He thought . 

Everything is almost done . We should get ready now. Everyone will be arriving soon .

Yes, where is the bathroom?  

Just come with me. You can use my bathroom. 

Okay. 

They both went to his room. 

Aakriti, I bought this dress for you. 

It's beautiful but I can't take it. 

You have to. I want you to look beautiful. 

She went to change inside the bathroom. 

Aarav stared at his bed. 

“Aakriti, you will sleep with me on this bed.” He thought.

Aakriti stepped out of the bathroom finding that Aaron had also changed and he was looking very dapper . Aarav moved towards her and removed her hair strand from her face. 

“You are looking gorgeous .”He said and kissed her forehead. 

His friends arrived in the evening . 

Everyone was surprised to see Aakriti there. Harsh wished him. 

Happy Birthday, Bro. 

Thank you. 

Congratulations, Aakriti. I can already hear the wedding bells ringing. 

“It is too early .”She said looking at Aarav.

I have found my true love but I just want to take things slow.

Sure brother. 

Aarav, everyone is dancing and enjoying. I think we should cut the cake. 

Yes but before that I want to raise a toast for my beautiful girlfriend . 

Everyone, may I have your attention, please? I want to say something about this beautiful girl standing beside me. 

Everyone started cheering . 

“Aakriti, ever since you came into my life. I am changed. You made me believe in true love. You are the most beautiful soul.”

He took out the diamond ring from his pocket . 

Aakriti , will you be mine for a lifetime ?

Aakriti was surprised . Everything was a dream for her.  

Yes, I will marry you . 

He kissed her on the lips . After that , they cut the cake . 

Aarav fed the cake to Aakriti . 

It was late at night. Everyone went to their homes. 

I am also getting late . Can you drop me home ? 

Can't you stay with me ? I will be alone . 

Aakriti couldn't refuse him. 

Okay , I need to inform mom . 

She went aside to call her mom. When 

She came back, Aarav gave her a glass of coke. 

Here drink it . You will feel better. 

She took the glass and started drinking . As she finished the glass , she started feeling dizzy . 

Aakriti, are you fine? 

I am just feeling dizzy. 

You can go and sleep in my bedroom. 

Aakriti went to his bedroom. Aarav also went after her and locked the door. 

He held her hand in his. 

Aakriti, do you love me? 

Yes, Aarav. 

He started kissing her on the lips. 

Aarav please, I am uncomfortable.

Come on, Aakriti. Don't you trust me? 

Aakriti could sense the anger in his voice. 

I trust you. 

He removed her shoulder strap and started kissing her neck . That night was full of their love-making . She was enjoying everything about Aarav but she forgot that Aarav was not using any protection . In the morning , when she woke up . She saw Aarav sleeping next to her . She understood what happened between them last night . She started crying . She tried to awake Aarav but he was in a deep sleep . She dressed up herself and went to her home . When Aarav woke up and saw that she was not there .

Aakriti didn't go to college for a few days. Aarav understood that his plan was successful. Her family must know about what had happened between them. He was happy. On the other hand, she came to know about the most shocking news. She is pregnant. She tried calling him but he didn't answer. He also didn't reply to her texts. She understood that her life and future is successfully ruined by the person whom she thought was the love of her life . 

She told everything to her mom. Her mom was angry and slapped her.

You just get out of my house. Now, you will step inside this house after the abortion. 

Mom please, I can't kill my child. 

You should've thought before, then. Just get out. 

She stood out of the house and started crying. She went to college. 

Harsh, where is Aarav? 

He just went to his home. What happened?

He is not answering my phone calls. Can you pass my message to him ? 

Sure. 

She told him everything.  Harsh was surprised . 

He went to Aarav's home. 

Hello, Bro. Come inside. 

You used her. 

What are you talking about? 

Haven't you heard me? You used Aakriti just because she defeated you. 

Yes, I did. 

I should've understood this. I was in doubt that what made you so nice toward a girl all of a sudden ? I was a fool.

Yes, you were.  

Why did you do it? 

You know it. 

Sure, so now you also need to know this thing. 

What? 

Congratulations, you are going to become a father. 

Nonsense. Aarav said in anger. 

She is pregnant with your child. 

Really. 

Yes. 

I didn't mean to make her pregnant. 

I am going. Please, go and meet her. Her parents have asked her to get an abortion. Only then,  they will allow her inside the home.

At night, he didn't go down for dinner. 

His mother went to his room. He hugged her and started crying. 

What happened, Aarav? 

He told her everything. 

How can you use a girl? 

I am sorry, mom. 

You should go and find her. She is the mother of your child. What if she did something wrong? 

I will go. 

He started his car and went to find her. He went to college and started finding her. 

Hopefully, she was also there sitting in the Auditorium. 

Thank god, you are here. 

She was surprised to see her there.

She walked towards him and hugged him saying “Why did you do this with me , Aarav ?”

I am sorry, Aakriti. I will lie not to you. I wanted to ruin your life because you defeated me in the dance competition but when I came to know that you are pregnant .

He looked at her belly. 

Will you forgive me, please? 

Yes, I will forgive you. 

I want to be there with you and our child. Let's get married. 

I am just nineteen years old. 

Same here but I am ready to make up for my mistake. 

Aarav, will you please talk to my parents? 

I promise you, I will. 

He took her to his home. 

The next day, he went to her home and talked with her parents.  They get ready for their marriage. Soon, they both got married. Aarav wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. 

What are you thinking about? 

I am thinking about my career. 

I am sorry, Aakriti. Don't worry about anything. It will affect your and your baby's health. I will support you. 

Our love is perfect. 

Why are you saying it? Aarav asked. 

It is my dream love. Full of care , trust , understanding , love , anger , fights and forgiveness . 

You forgot something. 

What is it? 

Happiness. 

She smiled and he kissed her. 

Aarav. 

What? I am your husband now. 

Aarav took care of her cravings and mood swings. After nine months, She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Aarav helped her and she completed her education. She was happy. After all her life was full of love as she dreamt it.
