There was a boy... Rahul, optimistic and always looking forward to make something big out of his life. And there was a girl... Meera, studious and trustworthy. Her eyes were so true that nobody would have dared to tell her a lie. Those eyes would have taken out the truth even from a lier. It was difficult for Rahul to live without seeing those eyes. When he looked into those eyes he lost into them. Yet he was firmly grounded with the realities and his dreams of becoming big, he couldn't stop himself from loving those eyes. Rahul started loving Meera. Though he knew every moment that he is going suffer, when he wouldn't be able to see in those eyes. Still he continued..and one day they parted there ways. The boy remained silent and the joy in his eyes was gone from that day.
Rahul found it difficult to survive without Meera, but he has to...owing to his life, to his dreams... promises that he made to himself. He turned his love in positive energies and made use of every opportunity coming his way to make something big. But deep down he was never able to forget those eyes. Whenever he was alone or whenever he was happy he remembered those eyes. He cried when he was very happy..everybody thought these are tears of happiness, nobody rarely knew that Rahul was missing Meera at that moment. Thus passed the days and nights and Rahul's heart grew fonder each passing day.
Many years passed since Meera left, but Rahul was still the same...still his heart beating faster, whenever he dreamed of looking into Meera's eyes. Rahul knew by this time that, it doesn't matter how much he love someone... his stars and the lines on his hand should also support him. The Destiny. He wasn't believing into any such things but the reality forced him to at least think over it.
Rahul was now at the peak of this career, living his life happily in the thoughts of Meera. Least that he knew that the world is full of surprises. He has made a promise that he will never ever attach his feelings with someone. But the heart is not a suitcase to lock and keep on attic, it beats every second. And every beat needs a electric spark. Heart will not survive in absence of this spark... so does a human. Somewhere here lies the connection of heart and love. The one who ignites the sparks, becomes the love of your life. Isn't it difficult to stop yourself from being attached to a person who makes those sparks fly across your body, mind and soul. Rahul was not aware of these things when he mate Disha. She was like just another girl for him.
Rahul was still holding on to Meera's thoughts, though he knew that she will never come back into his life. Rahul and Disha were in similar circumstances and they were meeting often. Togetherness forms a bond,..nameless... yet strong enough to hold two persons together. When a name is given, it becomes a relation. Rahul was not able to believe whats happening, but the joy that he had lost years before was slowly started to come back in his eyes.
The heart which never allowed him to spare a single though of Meera, now started beating with unknown sparks. Rahul knew that, still his stars were same and even the lines on his hand were same, he also knew the pain of every moment, passed without Meera. So he decided to be true to the relation of friendship and not let the sparks fly across. He though it will be easier to guard against these sparks, but he could barely insulate himlself. Even though he enjoyed every moment spent with Disha, he never though of being a part of Disha's life. Disha was a confident and bold girl. She always knew what she want from life.
When the circumstances ended, Disha and Rahul headed for there lives, Rahul was no longer the same when he mate Disha. At that time when he closed his eyes he could see his heart full of love for Meera. Now when he closes his eyes he could only see Disha, but at this time for a different reason. It's not love all the time, it's the memory of caring togetherness that wasn't allowing Rahul to forget Disha. It's the same togetherness that slowly made Rahul to forget about Meera.
Rahul was alone in his life, but when someone as caring as Disha came in his life, he thanked the same stars and the same lines on his hand. Rahul was free now.
Rahul always knew that Disha will be his best pal.
