Love Story - Chapter 11

Chapter Eleven

May 17th, 2005.


"I am coming to USA" Priya said when I called her.
"When and where?" I asked.
"In a month" She said.
"I got admission in Harward University""That's great" I said.
"Harward is in Boston which is only one and half hour drive from here.
""Cool" She said.
I did not expect that golden days will come so soon. Priya is coming to USA. And that too, she is coming to Boston which is very close by. I could not believe it. I can meet her every weekend. Even I can meet her everyday. Its just one and half hour drive from my place. I am the happiest person in the world. One month passed by like one second. I went to airport to receive Priya. I saw her after five months. I cried with happiness.


We went to Harward School of Business. What can I say about Harward? The hostel, the classrooms, the library, the canteen, each and every building of Harward is simply amazing. The students who are studying seemed to be like future CEOs of multi national companies. And here, my Priya is going to be one of them. May 17th, 2005. It’s the first weekend for Priya in USA. I took her to the New York City. New York has always represented United States for many years. Even a small kid can identify USA by seeing the picture of Statue of Liberty. There are many places to visit in New York like Empire State, Brooklyin bridge, Times Square, Madame Tussade museum, Intrepid… The list is endless.


But Statue of Liberty always stands high among the attractions.
"It’s the right time for expressing your love" Vinod said.
"But…""Don't think. Just say it to her. Everything will be fine""Thanks Vinod" I said.
"Today I will tell her. You need to help me in this""I am always there for you. Tell me what you want" "How shall I propose her? I have not made any preparations" "Don't worry. Just listen to me. If you love someone truly, there is no need of any preparations. Just tell her what you want to say. Just tell her how much you love her. Just be yourself. That's enough. Your heart will speak for yourself. There is no need of any preparation"


Vinod's advice filled me with courage and confidence. For the first time, I felt that I am not going to fail in this attempt. Love needs patience but at the same time Love also needs courage. If you don't have enough courage to express yourself, your love always remains incomplete.
Priya is taking the photographs of Statue of Liberty.
"Priya.." "What?" she asked.
"I want to say something to you today which I should have told you long time ago""What is it?"I took her hand in mine.
I kissed her hand."I Love You" I said.
"Please don't ask me how much I love you. I cannot explain it in words. I can only say that I love you more than myself. I love you more than anyone can love you" I said and closed my eyes.I waited.


There was a long silence. I opened my eyes slowly. Priya is not there in front of me.
I looked around. She's standing at a distance. I went to her and saw that she's crying.
"Priya... What happened? I am sorry if I hurt you..."
"You idiot... Why did it take so long for you to say a simple three letter word?" she said and hugged me.


That's the most beautiful moment in my life that I will never forget. I have accomplished my mission. Now I have no worries in my life. I have Priya with me.
Suddenly Vinod came running to me shouting "Aaryan... Aaryan"

This is what love is all about

This is what love is all about It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman in his 80’s, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat,knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got theneeded supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation I asked him if he had a doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a whi...

Love Story - Chapter 16

Chapter Sixteen – Vinod Speaks: I am Vinod. I was Aaryan's room mate. I know how much Aaryan loved Priya. He always talked about her and cared about her. But unfortunately he could not able to tell her the same. He remained silent. He was a coward. He always feared that Priya would leave him if he expresses his love before her. He waited and the wait costed him a lot. 26th of June was an unfortunate day in the life of Priya and Aaryan. Priya met with an accident while driving back her scooty to home from an internet cafe. The owner of the internet cafe said that she was in a bad mood and was crying before leaving the internet center. She was admitted into the hospital immediately. She wrote a letter to Aaryan: "Hi Aaryan, When I first met you in the multiplex theatre, I never thought that we would come this far. We have become very close friends in no time. You have been a very good friend of mine. In fact you are my best friend to whom I can look up to whenever I need any thi...
