Chapter 8 - After some years...

It was the seventh summer after Aryan left his teens. That was the time when the sun hides behind the clouds by seeing the moon.

Aryan got a phone call from Ayra. They both had a good talk over the phone. Aryan was playfully teasing Ayra over the phone. They enjoyed themselves speaking to each other. After a while, Aryan started convincing Ayra with a funny tone to accept him as her life partner as they were soon going to touch the age of three tens. As usual, she again rejected his proposal. She neither had someone in her thoughts nor thought of being without Aryan. Out of a few family-related matters, she said that she's rejecting his proposal and managed well that Aryan doesn't know her feelings about him. As the best buddies, they continued their relationship well, without any limitations by their family members.

A few days later, Aryan got a mail that his friend Sonal met with an accident and was admitted in a hospital in Mumbai. He searched immediately for the flight tickets. There was a flight available till Banglore from where he can reach Mumbai by train immediately. He told about his journey to his parents and booked a ticket to Banglore.

By mid-noon, he reached Banglore and called Ayra and told her that, he was in Banglore. initially, Arya didn't believe him but after a while, she believed him and asked him to come home. Aryan met Ayra and told her the purpose of visiting Banglore and spoke to her for about 2 hours convincing her about the advancement of their relationship. She just listened to him leaving no reply. He met her family members and spent some time in recalling their memories.

As the hours head to four, he took leave from there and went to the railway station. He made a call to his parents after the train started and messaged Ayra that the train had started. A few hours later they spoke to each other over phone and finally, they both felt tired and switched their conversation off. Aryan messaged his parents and slept.

After reaching Mumbai, Aryan met his two friends and they went to see Sonal in the hospital who was their classmate in Engineering college of Delhi. They stayed for a whole day in the hospital. Aryan's friends asked him about Ayra. At first, he refused to answer, but later he shared with them a few moments they spent together. Till then all the things were fine. But suddenly he burst into tears.

Both his friends found it difficult to control his emotion and stood there consoling him. They understand that Aryan again memorised the moment that had happened a few years back between Aryan and Ayra.

At the same time, Sonal got consciousness. the nurse informed them. One of the two friends informed this to Sonal's parents as they were depressed a lot and were unable to see their son on the hospital bed. They were overwhelmed and rushed to the hospital with a few of his friends. Even then, Aryan couldn't control his tears. Sonal's parents arrived and rushed with excitement to see their child.

Sonal's friends noticed Aryan and went to him. They enquired Jay and Aneesh, the two friends of Aryan who are with him, about why he is bursting into tears?

Jay replied," He recalled that bitter memory between him and Ayra. This is because of us, we asked him about Ayra. Till sometime he shared a lot but he recalled about it and burst out. That was only the bad moment between them".

One of Sonal's friend asked Jay about that incident but Aryan stopped Jay to answer that. Aryan said, "I was alright, I just wanna cry. I felt hard inside my heart, now I am OK! alright let's leave this matter".

Aryan took out his phone and called Ayra. They spoke over the phone for about an hour. Ayra spoke to Aryan in a lovable manner and Aryan felt a heavenly bliss. Jay and Aneesh made fun of Aryan and Ayra. Aneesh asked Aryan when he's going to marry Ayra? Aryan replied," convincing Ayra is not an easy task". They laughed at each other.

Even though Aryan looks to be confident in convincing Ayra, his friends noticed some sort of worry in him. They both spoke to Ayra and tried their best to convince her.

Finally, Ayra told them that she had feelings on him but few reasons made her not to express them. she concealed her feelings. Her sister even asked her about her interest in marriage, whether she had anyone in her thoughts or not? She smiled and said "nothing like that", then her mother asked her "what about Aryan?" She replied with a No.

Ayra said all these things to Jay and they both laughed at each other. Jay told her that "Aryan was in a different mood and upset about sonal. You better call him tomorrow and say whatever you feel to say". Ayra saying yes, closed the conversation. Jay went inside the room to talk with Aryan along with Aneesh after that phone call. Three of them planned to go out. They took sonal's friend car and went out.
