*Forever : Love Or Friendship?* [Part-6]

~"Some ties that bind us are simply impossible to explain. Some bonds defy distance, time and logic, because they are meant to be.
But are they meant to be, forever?"~

And her smile that day, that smile was enough to ease the thousands of emotions jumping inside me, they needed to settle down, they wanted solace, and their solace was Saanvi. The more I went on with her, the better my life became. Every moment was no less than a magical spell.

"Radhika di, di, listen, I need to talk to you. Something is really strange Di. I need to share it with you. Only you can understand.", I went in her room.

"Only I can understand your love for Saanvi? Really? Is it so?", she said.

"How do you know? I never even told you!", I was shocked.

"I'm your sister, i know you very well, i am noticing this from the past few days my dear brother.

And it felt so nice. Sharing everything with someone, everything that has been locked up inside you, your feelings. I was so glad I had such an understanding sister.

Days were passing And my feelings were getting stronger. I was sure of it. This was what love was. I was waiting for a day, a chance, when I could express my feelings. And according to Radhika Di's suggestion, I was waiting for my 17th birthday.

Everything was set up. Di helped with it. I planned a little surprise for her. I'm sure she was going to love it. I had my fingers crossed. I was going to take her to the little cottage my family owned in the outskirts of the city.

I went there a day before just to do all the decoration. It had to be special, more than special. It was our birthday and one of the most important days in our lives. It had to be way special.

I decided to put up rose petals on the floor along with balloons. Dim light with candle glow, a cake which I was going to bake for her, a scrap book of our memories together. It was time consuming, it was hard, but the very thought of her smile, and it was all to take my breath away. Radhika di helped me with the gift. I bought her a pretty black dress which I decided to give her before so she could wear that on our special day. The very thought of it was exciting me to the core. I couldn't think of anything else. Everything was going to change tomorrow, and I wanted tomorrow to come soon.

I wished her at 12. We both cut a small cake that Dadi got for us. And I was trying to hide my excitement but I couldn't. Everyone was nudging me about it but I didn't know what to say. And I gave her the gift and told her to be ready by 12 tomorrow. She asked about the plan, but I didn't spill the beans.

I just said, "Wait for it Saanvi. It's a surprise."

And she was excited about it, but more than her, I was.

And indeed, it was such a good day of our lives. I still remember every single moment of that special day that belonged to us.
