If only they had said the Sorry word!

Anaya, the popular college girl with an alluring personality, had once been a wallflower. But today when you look at her she is the most Frank one! So what brought this change, one needs to see the flashback. In the summer days of the year 1993, she was just having her regular jog, not like she wanted to but she had to. It was an Hobson choice for her. Her overweighing body had caught the eye of every one in existing her environment. She was a brilliant student, a plain Jane and hence was bullied by all her classmates and seniors. But as they someone somewhere is made for you, I know this is a cliched line , but ya it is true. For Anaya that someone was Agastya. And the irony was he was the most popular guy, the dude, easy on the eyes personality! A Casanova and a spoilt brat were his synonyms. He would have glossed over Anaya if that day he hadn't been caught. As usual Anaya was absorbed in her books, when Agastya was stealing a kiss with another random girlfriend of his. Suddenly this act caught the eye of the librarian and as he approached the couple, they had already gone. Anaya had caught the eyes of the librarian noticing the couple, and suddenly something struck her and she signalled them by purposely dropping the books. As they say, that moment the cupid started it's work. Agastya waited outside the college to thank Anaya. But Anaya was too shy to reciprocate and just walked away. Obviously that night sleep did not give a tinker's curse for Anaya. She was mesmerized by Agastya's smile when he thanked her. Agastya was also insomniac that night, and the only picture that flashed in his mind was the shy smile on Anaya's face. Now this was the most unpredictable thing from his side. Next morning both were in school before time, but today there was something different about Anaya, she was in love, obviously with Agastya, but surprisingly this love made her love herself, and she was no longer cared about her being a little overweight, in fact she was beautifully dressed up, with a tint of make-up and open hair, these small changes had biosted up her beauty and confidence. On the other hand, Agastya was early to college today but with messed up hair and dark circles around his eyes. The love had a contrasting effect on the lovers. Anaya was sipping coffee in the canteen, when suddenly she felt butterflies In her stomach, Agastya came and said beside her. To break the ice, Agastya just held her hand and thanked her and after that moment, they both were never the same. Hmmm, this reminds of school romance💕 Numerous coffee dates, countless talks on phone, never ending staring sessions, writing poems and letters, this love story just turned cuter and cuter. But then pronto, everything changed when that incident at the party happened. It was Agastya's birthday party, the most happening, party animal kind of guy. But guess what, this birthday he wanted it to be only with Anaya. That day Anaya was on cloud nine, as if it was her birthday. Handwritten greeting cards, small gifts like keychains to a big gift wrapped, she was now all dolled up in Agastya's favourite colour that was white, and she didn't look less than an angel. She had lost oodles of weight after she had started dating Agastya. Love changes everything after all, but the question always arises why doesn't it last forever! Anyways, Agastya had been waiting for this moment, and when finally Anaya appeared he was captives by her charm. He just hugged her, which didn't prove of much comfort to Anaya, as after all these months of dating Agastya, the only far they had gone was holding hands. Agastya just backed off as he got the signal and then they started talking, exchanging stares, unwrapping gifts. But Agastya couldn't take his eyes off Anaya's beauty. He just went ahead and kissed her, this was a shock for Anaya. She just slapped him and left the place. Agastya couldn't take this humiliation and starting throwing the gifts. His birthday was ruined he felt, but actually he had ruined a beautiful relationship himself. He should have respected Anaya's No! But all this couldn't be undone. To make it worst, instead of apologising Agastya got back with his ex-girlfriend, and the news spread like fire. On the other hand, Anaya was feeling sorry for ruining his birthday had made an apology card, on hearing this news she was devastated. Both had to utter this sorry word, but their egos kept them from this. If the very next day the apologies would have been exchanged it would not have led to this misunderstanding. Their stubbornness of waiting for the other one to say sorry left them lonely and they turned grey. They never spoke, Agastya just got addicted to the worst of habits he could, and Anaya was now the popular girl with latest trending hair color, clothes and arrogance. But as they no one can stop, if u are destined to meet. These crazy heads once again shared a glance at the School reunion party. 2 years had passed by, but each moment of those years they had only missed each other. Anaya always regretted that only if she had been a little calm and had explained her uneasiness to Agastya, which he would have definitely understood, as he had respected her decision of not being too close physically while they were dating. On the other hand, Agastya had always called himself a pervert whenever he thought of that day, and wished only if he had respected her no. Such matured people, but only thing that held them back was their stubbornness of not saying sorry. Today they were meeting after 2 years and Agastya just dropped a tear, seeing Anaya this way, in that attire, which he knew she'd never been comfortable with. He felt sorry for how his actions had affected her. Anaya was speechless and teary eyed. To break the ice once again, Agastya held her hand and no he didn't say Sorry, but thanked her for being still in love with him. Confused na, but he wasn't, because he could see the pain, the love, the affection in Anaya's eyes. Anaya couldn't say anything, she just hugged him and the whispers of their tears said it all❤️
