~"Distance, it can either break apart two hearts or either it can bring them so close that they can never even think of being apart, it has it two opposite sides."~

It was decided. I was going to Delhi. Everything was set. I was going to study in one of the most prestigious colleges and mom and dad had been really happy with my score and my admission that they gifted me a luxurious apartment. I mean I really couldn't have had asked for more. I worked hard to achieve it all and when dad said I did better than he had expected, it was as if I got satisfaction and success from all the hard work I had put up.
Followed by my extreme happiness, was an uncanny sadness. Sadness of leaving my home, my family, my city and most of all Saanvi. She wouldn't be near me all the time. She got admission in a good college here in Mumbai only. I was happy for her and more than that she was happy for me and my achievement.
She never showed me that she would be sad or she would miss me. All she said was I have a great life ahead, I just needed to be on the right track. I wish at that moment I could tell her that she is my path and whenever I will lose my way, she would be there, my guardian angel.
My last few days were busy packing and collecting stuff I would be needing there. Mom was with me. I got less time to spend with Saanvi.
Damn!
I was gonna miss this girl so much. I wish I could marry her at this moment and make her mine officially and take her along with me. But I couldn't. I sometimes used to laugh at my helplessness.
Very often, we had some talks and she used to give hints how she was going to miss me and my presence.
My silly girl!
She never said that directly but the way she used to say it, I got what she meant.
And she often teased me about now falling for any punjabi girl over there and that spark of jealousy for her, it used to make me fall for her more and more.
And before going, exactly one day before, I called her to *Our Place* which was near the water tank at the terrace of my house. It had been our place since we were little kids. It had our special memories, we were connected to it.
And when she came there, I wish I could have her with me, forever. I looked into her eyes as she tucked the strand of hair which was falling on her face.
How pretty she was!
And she finally confessed that she was going to miss me. And all I did was big her tight. It was like a breath crushing hug. We didn't want to let go of each other and I promised her to get back soon.
And to my surprise she had brought a gift for me. It was a diary. She told me to pen down all my thoughts in that diary whenever I would miss her and make her read afterwards. And I promised to that and kissed her soft hands.
I was going to miss her, badly!
