The Propose

Story of two very good friends Anjali and Aaditya. They met four years ago and now its time Aaditya to make a decision, a decision that will change his life forever. But he is confused as to how he will declare his love for Anjali. Anjali being a very energetic and jolly kinda person, makes friend very easily and a very easy going person with not a lot of ambition in life. On the other hand, Aaditya was also a very nice and generous person and a bit simpler and quite than Anjali. Its Saturday night 7:00 PM, Aaditya and Anjali is sitting together for dinner when Anjali asked:
Anjali: Hey Aaditya, is something special today? If I remember, its not mine or your birthday today? Also none of our friends and if so also, then nobody apart from you is around? Whats the matter? Something personal, haaaan???
Aaditya: Hey hang on, hang on. I can’t answer so many questions in one shot. My memory is very terrible.
Anjali: Ok I just want to know whats special today?
Aaditya: Nothing special, can’t I call you for dinner just like that?
Anjali: Yes you can, but we used to go along with our group on weekends, and we used to have dinner or lunch together in office whenever our timings matches.
Aaditya: Oh… so you are feeling awkward along with me?
Anjali: Hey I didn’t say like that and please don’t start assuming things like that. You know I never ever feels like that.
Aaditya: Okay… I believe you J
Anjali: You are a moron.
Aaditya: Yes I know, and please don’t praise like that in public, I tries to keep my fame from common man. Ha ha ha.
Anjali: Very funny, and God gimme a break.
Aaditya: Ok now to be serious, I ….
Anjali: Serious and you? Are you kiddin and that too on a Saturday night. Ha ha ha.
Aaditya: See this is the problem with others also. What you think I always behave in a cool and idiotic manner? Can’t I be serious anytime?
Anjali: Hey Aadi, I was jus kiddin… Ok please tell me, I am listening.
Aaditya: Ok you were correct, I called you here to tell you something, but before I start, I want you not to interrupt in between and say only when I am finished. Promise???
Anjali: Ok baba promise, tell me soon, I am feeling worried…
Aaditya: It’s being almost four years that we know each other, we have share many things along this way. Don’t know about you, but I have enjoyed every moment of that whenever you are there around. Today I wanted to say that “I LOVE YOU” and I want you to be my life partner so that I can have you along with me to the entire life. I want you to hold my hand and guide me in this long journey towards achieving happiness for you. I don’t promise to you that I will have the Moon and Stars for you. I also don’t promise to get you all the worldly possessions, I also don’t promise that I will make all your wishes true, to give you everything that you want. But yes I can promise you one thing; I will love you to the most in this world. I will try to give you all the comforts in life to the best of my capabilities. I will keep you safe from this world. I can’t bring the sun and the stars for you, but I will promise to create a small universe around you. I will always try to keep you happy and all your sorrows and sadness needs to pass from me and I assure that not even a single parentage will come to you. If happiness comes to you, I will increase to 1000 folds and serve you to my entire life. I promise to give you a simple life full of love, emotions, faith, trust, responsibility and of course me. I will never ever make you feel lonely and lower than me. You will always go along or ahead of me and if any difficulty comes then I will be ahead of you to face it. I will give up my anger and greed for you. I will give up all the things that spoils me and our relationship as I want to live with you. I want to give you everything and I want………………. I want you………………
I love you Anjali…………………. I want you to be my partner for the rest of my life.
Aaditya took his hand in pocket and took out a small box and keeps that in the centre of the table between him and Anjali.
Aaditya: Now if you want to say something, then you can. But I only wanna say last thing. If you are happy with this relationship, then please allow me to open this box and give that ring pleasure to be decorated in your hand. If your answer is ‘NO’, then please say ‘NO’ I will leave the table. In this case, I am really sorry if I have hurt you and ready for any kind of punishment from you.
Anjali: (In a surprised look) Aaditya as you said that I need to be very frank, so being a good friend; I say I always liked you as a friend, but never thought like that. I knew that you always had a soft corner for me, but I never expected this from you.
Aaditya: Well I need your answer…
Anjali: Please let me finish. I know what you said just now, you will give me the same, but life is not what we expect to be and hence because of this twist and turn, it’s called life. I really love you Aaditya, but as a friend with whom I can share my feelings. I ……..
Aaditya: Thanks Anjali, I got my answer.
Anjali: No wait, pls……
Aaditya: (Keeps the box in pocket) I understand Anjali and I am really glad that you told your point of view as it’s not the decision for an individual. I hope that you will consider me as the same Aadi, what I was an hour before. Wish you a very best of luck and All the Best.
(Aaditya leaves the table and a drop from his eyes can’t stop and got into the plate. Anjali puts his head down and must have recalled what all happened. Its 8:30 PM now)

Well you might have thought initially that it must be a very happy ending story. I too thought the same, but it’s not only a story to make everyone happy in the end. Everyone needs to taste the bitterness of life and that will make them confident and give courage to fight with difficult times. Life is full of ups and downs and if the person finds the way to live upto the mark in downs, the he can fight with any situations in life. Take care………… Love is not easy
