REMEMBER ME

"Are you coming tonight?", Stella asked her eyes filled with concern for her only best friend. "Of course I am coming. I didn't come all the way from Sydney just to get locked in this room. It's my baby's bachelor's party and in no way I am not attending it.", Jenny said with confidence. "Are you sure? I mean you will feel alright around him." "C'mon Stella, It's been three years since I last saw him and I really don't hold any grudges against him. I forgave him at that very moment I left New York and the fact here is that we both never really confessed to each other and that was just one-sided love. He literally accepted the fact that he don't like me in front of Lucas that day right. So, I really don't want to spoil your party thinking about old incidents. Let's go and enjoy your last day of freedom kiddo.", said Jenny as she gave a warm smile to Stella. "I really sometimes doubt that you are a human being and how did I became your best friend.", Stella shook her head in disbelief. Both the girls laughed at each other and got ready to leave for the party.

As soon as they entered the party hall, Jenny's eyes unconsciously search for someone she didn't want to meet. "There he is! Stella squealed with happiness pointing at her one and only better half Jake. They both went to him as Jenny hugged him and congratulated him. "Alright! make yourself comfortable here we will go meet some friends and if you need anything just give me a missed call, I will be around." Stella said as she interlocked her hand with Jake and went to the other side of the hall to greet some guests.

Jenny took a drink and went to the balcony area as there were very few people there. As she was going there she bumped into someone and in the course of time her eyes met with the pair of eyes, in which she used to get drown into by the deepness they hold, the eyes which used to make her feel as the most special girl of the world, the eyes which always made her heart skip a beat. This time too those eyes didn't fail in making her blush. "Chris", unconsciously words left her mouth as she immediately looked away maintaining a good distance from him. So many emotions flowing out at that it became difficult for Jenny to figure out which emotion she was longing to see.

Love? Guilt? Regrets?Happiness? Probably his eyes were holding all these. His eyes were holding millions of emotions which Jenny took almost three years to understand because she only saw betrayal which his eyes never hold. "How are you?" Jenny slightly got startled by his voice as she zoned out standing in front of him. "Good", Jenny said as she was ready to move but Chris stopped her,"let's talk for sometime."

There was an awkward silence between both of them, finally Chris spoke breaking the ice. "So, how is life going?" "Great! just working as a doctor right now. How about you?"Jenny replied. "Good! You know Va-" "Valiant- Fashion starts with you. Of course I do Mr. CEO." Jenny cut him off. "Oh! I didn't thought you be using the brand."Chris replied flustered at her statement. "Why can't I use the brand. Everyone seeks for perfection and the brand is perfect in it's own." "Thank you." Both of them smiled each other. "So, married or taken?" Chris asked mustering up enough courage taking her aback by his sudden question. "Umm...nothing.", she replied blushing a bit hesitant.

Again there was complete silence between them. Both staring at the night sky not wanting to leave the warmth they were feeling after so long completely aloof from the party.

Once again trying to catch up with the conversation he said her," You need to choose carefully whom you marry." "Huh!"Jenny looked at him perplexed. "I-I mean t-that you need to be careful when choosing a guy for you, who can be loyal to you and care for you and love you because I can't see you hurt because I still love you." He was saying everything with eyes closed trying not to stutter but stopped when he almost confessed to her. Jenny frantically stared at him and moved towards him engulfing him into a kiss. Was it the end? Did she forgave him? Does she still love him? Was it the end to the wait of long three years? So many questions messed up his mind. Parting from the kiss they attached their foreheads. "You forgave me?" "Long ago." "Jenny I am really sorry. I didn't mean to say those things I said that day. I was just being a good friend but I completely ignored you for him. I am really sorry.", Chris said with sincerity in his eyes. "It's alright. I am not angry at you, not was back then. It's just I felt played. You really kissed me and I wanted to confess to you that day. But said you didn't love me really hurt me. You were the first boy I fell in love with.", she said as both hugged each other feeling each other's heartbeat. "Jenny, give me one more chance, I will prove I am worth for you and your love. Please, I will not disappoint you I promise.I really love you so much." Tears formed in both of their eyes. Jenny nodded her head constantly,"Yes Yes, I love you too very much." Parting from the hug Jenny said," your brand is very expensive, half of my income get spent on buying the products.I need discount." Both laughed at her childish statement. "Everything free for you baby.", Chris laughed and said, "Let's start over everything more beautifully and happily. Will you be my girlfriend." Jenny nodded shyly as he kissed her once again.

NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU GO, YOUR HEART WILL ALWAYS FIND YOUR WAY BACK HOME.
