The venue began.
Nila and yash went to stage all the others sat down in the seats below the stage.
Riya and Georgia sat together everyone was literally staring at riya.
Well need to say she looked stunning after all.
Riya replied to some important texts regarding business.
"Georgia the meeting after 2 days in Hyderabad Can you call ask about the details?"
"Yes mam"
Georgia went outside to call.
Riya glanced at lakshith once and felt something was wrong.
Even though it was so many years she can tell whether he has happy or not by just seeing his eyes.
Even though he smiled there was some untold pain in his eyes.
Georgia returned and sat near riya.
"Mam!"
"Yeah?"
"The meeting was postponed madam due to some family problems of chairman"
"Why?what happened???"
"We don't know it yet mam"
"That's great riya you could stay with me for few more days"
"Uh...so you're excited about important meeting get cancelled?"
"Well.... If you're with me then it's okay my friend"
"Ok come let's go and eat"
She went to dining hall with nila.
But lakshith wasn't there.
"Nila,where is lakshith?"
"Come on riya he doesn't even spoke to you since you came back and you still worrying about him?"
"(Bitter smile) You know me the best nila I will always worry about him"
"Do whatever you want anyway you're not going to listen me Atleast come and eat"
"You eat I will go and look out for him"
She started to run
"Riya...wait....Riya...Riya damn this girl never listens to me"
She went and searched him in all over the mandap after an half an hour she finally found him in the upstairs balcony.
He was just staring at the sky.
For others this may look normal but she can say something is wrong he is sad.
She slowly walk towards him.
Finally after 8 yrs...
She spoke.....
"Lakshith...."
He was shocked to hear her voice.
He turns towards her.
She was still catching her breath.
"Come let's go and eat lakshith it's already late pls..."
"Uhmmmm...Ok"
As she was turn and about to go ,
"Riya!"
"Huh!??"
"Where were you all these years?"
"Somewhere I want to..."
"All this because of me??? I feel so guilty riya"
"It's not like that you're not responsible for anything "
"No...Riya I know "
"No it's not because of you there is no need to feel guilty"
"Then tell me one thing why are you concerned about me this much??Why do you always look for me even though I don't???Isn't this happening since school???Even now nobody else came here to search for me why you came??
Tell riya cmon ..."
She got tears in her eyes.
She really want to say it for long time but she can't in the past but now she finally got courage and situation for that.
As the tears flowing down from her eyes to cheek she began to speak ....
"Because ....Because... "
Her words stuttered for first time in 5 yrs...
"Coz I love you.... I love you....I love you lakshith as the expanse of this universe "
For others it may be just a confession and words.
But for her it was her feelings that she held for more than a decade.
As think of that it's been nearly 17yrs of her love...
She finally said that.
She wanted to say this to him as a person for many yrs.
Finally her dream come true
She collapsed to the ground and began to cry.
Lakshith stood there stunned and unable to speak and do anything else.
How can she hate the person whom she want to remember till the death....
