The Love Letter!

26/11/2020

To Priya,

I know you weren’t expecting a letter, that too from ME. This pandemic has really changed our core lifestyle. I know, I know, a mobile addict like me has turned up to write a letter, to YOU. But there is a reason why it’s you.

I know you like history and ideas of communication in past, so I thought what’s better than a ‘Letter’. So let’s not beat the bush-

I like you!

I have been liking you for the past five years. I know you might be confused right now because we never met personally but only through our friend's circle, we barely talk to each other and if it was talking it would just be a college project or something.

But maybe you could just see my exterior, like others, just a fake face that I used to show others, but inside my heart was beating rapidly as if someone had it in their hands and were squeezing it.

Every time you passed by, my chest would constrict and my stomach would fill with butterflies or all the insects’ around the world. It was really hard to keep a straight face when you used to look so pretty.

You were so smart that I was never in your league. I used to feel maybe I am not up to your mark. That you will reject me if I confessed to you during my school time.

Now that our 12th exams are over and my JEE is done. Our results are back and I have qualified for IIT Mumbai. I am so happy, my feeling is not able to stay in one place, I shared my happiness with my parents and I would like to share it with you too! I know I could have messaged this to you and it could have been a faster way, but if I have waited for 5 years now, I could at least wait for a few days.

You must be wondering why today of all time, I was actually going to confess to you once I get my job because I was that serious about you. But I heard Rakesh has confessed his feeling for you, and I couldn’t bear this thought, after hearing about this, my heart and brain were not in one place, my brain was saying not to act and my heart was saying to act.

I don’t know how serious you are about him, but as I am telling you my feeling, my heart is relaxing a bit and excitement is going up.

But I think we would be great together. I don’t want to adore you like a princess, because I always thought of you as my queen. I want to be the one to respect you, depend on you, adore you, and many more.

You can say I am quite jealous of that Rakesh but I can’t change the past nor I can see the future, but what I can do, is focus on the present. I always looked up to you.

You were there in many circumstances when others were not. It just takes only ‘its okay, I am there for you, I still remember these words of yours, when you patted my head and ruffled my hair. I fell for you all over again. And I think I will keep on falling for you again and again.

I mean I don’t want to sound cliché, but love is not finding someone to live with; it's finding someone you can’t live without.

I don’t want to sound desperate but maybe I am but right now, I am head over heels over you. And I can’t stop but think about you. To accept or reject me is totally your choice but to love you is mine!

p.s – I don’t know if you have done with your NEET, if not all the best!

Yours,

Mayur.

To Mayur,

I really liked the idea of you telling your feeling through the letter, and I really acknowledge your efforts into it.

Yes, I was quite surprised by your letter, I was not expecting that. I thought you liked Shana because she was your childhood friend. I would admit, yes I did have a crush on you. And I too admire you for who you are now. You are brave, smart, and not only that but a guy with a good sense of humor that every girl likes.

And by the way, congratulations on IIT. I am waiting for your party. If it’s for my NEET, yes I also qualified for it, but my college is in Pune.

But the main point of writing this letter is to tell you how I feel about you. Mayur-

I too like you!

Yes Rakesh confessed his feeling to me, but I was on the urge of awaiting my NEET results, so I rejected him, but now that NEET results have come out, I realized I don’t actually have feelings towards him, how I have towards you. I always thought you never noticed me, because we barely talk, though we had common friends.

And a beautiful relationship does not depend on how well we understand someone but it depends on how well we avoid misunderstanding.

I am really happy and I can’t express my feeling through words, my feminine urge to hug you and tell you how much I like you, But now that you are in Mumbai and I will be in Pune, I guess it will long-distance relationship for us, but let that not discourage us.

I want to meet you, so give me a call once this letter reaches you, because if we continue to talk through letters with each other, I think it will take us a century to actually plan a date.

I am waiting for you, my king!

p.s- my favorite chocolate is KitKat. Just so you know ;)

Yours,

Priya.
