Dear Diary

Being happy is a feeling which only fortunate people can get. I'm blessed that god bestowed his kindness and mercy on me to make me happy. Another day of my life passed normally today with the people I admire and the work I love. All the happiness which I have achieved during past three years is a result of the support from my family and my extended family. I am happy to get a person like Manav in my life. For justice, he breaks all the ties from his best friend and supported me like my own family. I wonder if there even exists a way to repay his debt. Everyone is supported by their family, but only few are blessed enough to get such true friends. I can take a bullet for Manav for what he did to me. I just pray to almighty to shower all the happiness of this world on him, and keep blessing my peaceful life by keeping my nightmares away. See you tomorrow with a new day's story.

I started writing diary when I lost all hopes of getting good friends. This diary became my good friend, it never complains, neither expects anything from me except 10 minutes of attention to it daily. My worst and best days are stored in this diary, and I hope this will continue to be my mate for the rest of my life. With this I slept hoping for another good day tomorrow.

It has become my daily routine to spend sleepless nights thinking about the random stuff. Myra has consumed all my thoughts. I don't know why I feel happy when I'm with her. She makes me complete, she makes me sane. She is so down to earth; never try to take advantage of me, like other girls do. She always has solution to all my problems; don't know how ever I would be able to live without her. But wait; is it really necessary to live without her? I'm sure she also likes me somewhere, and we are best friends, so why can't we take this friendship to the next level. But I can't talk about it directly to her, should I call any of her friends? But she doesn't have any good friends, she never share anything with anyone except me.

Knock knock

"Who's it"

"Beta, can I come in?"

"Ohh mom, what's the need to ask, it's your son's room, you don't need permission."

"But it seems that my son is not my anymore. Where are you lost these days, you don't even talk to me, don't come at dinner table for family dinner. Is work bothering you a lot."

"Ummm mom, it's not about work. Actually I'm just a bit confused about life."

"What is it? Tell me. Is it about any new deal? I'm sure it can't be about a girl, because my workaholic son can never think about bringing a beautiful wife for accompanying his old mother."

"Mom, you are too dramatic. Actually it's about Myra, you know, I think I have started developing feelings for her. I feel so alive around her. But I don't want to lose her in any case. What if she sense it and leave me?"

"Beta, Myra is a decent girl and she knows you well. She knows you are not a pervert or a selfish person like the ones she had met earlier. She knows you and she idealize you. Give yourself a chance, before she figures out herself, go and confess, that's what friends do. I'm happy with your decision; I already like that girl since I have known her. Just take care; friendship is something bigger and stronger than any other relationship in this world."

"Ohh my lovely mother, you just cleared the mess of my mind. What have I done without you? Love you a lot"

"Love you too beta, now sleep and confess before it gets late. Good Night"

"Good night mom, you are the best mother."

My mother really is something. The problem which had occupied my mind for so many days was solved by her in just few minutes. But she is right; tomorrow I'll confess all my feelings to her leaving her decision on god. I want to pour out my heart to her. I quickly messaged my driver to pick up Myra from home tomorrow as I have to make arrangements and again drifted into her memories for whole night.

The night seemed so long to me. It was the biggest night of my life. Today is a very big day for me. I hope everything goes well.

Waking up with my mother banging on the door, I sit up still yawning. I checked my phone only to find Manav's message

"Hey! Sending my driver to pick you up. Have and urgent meeting, have breakfast, see you later :) "

What was the need of this? I can reach office on my own. He is just too much sometimes.

I got ready for the office, since it's a Friday; we are allowed to wear smart casuals instead of business formals. Getting ready I had my breakfast and leave my home for work. The driver was waiting for me outside as told by my idiot friend. I hurriedly got inside the car and started rechecking my today's schedule. We reached the office and I started with my day. The day went boring without Manav but he was nowhere to be seen. He didn't tell me about this meeting, don't know what's happening. The lunch time started and like usual, I planned to avoid my lunch. I do it every time Manav is not with me, I don't like eating alone. So I continue doing my work, suddenly my phone started ringing, It was Manav

Me: God Manav, where the hell are you? You didn't even tell me where you are going. You never do such kiddish things. Grow up!

Manav: Look who's talking, a childlike brain is telling me to grow up. Hahaha

Me: So you called me to make fun of me? Go to hell, I have a lot of work. I don't have time to talk to you

Manav: Ahaan, angry Myra calm down. Tell me, did you have your lunch?

Me: Why do you care? Go and enjoy your business meeting which you even didn't bother to tell me.

Manav: Wow wow, seems like someone is very angry. How can I enjoy any party without you baby? Okay listen, I called you to ask for help.

Me: As if I have an option to refuse my boss. Tell me what's it?

Manav: listen Myra, I have a meeting with some foreign delegates. But I need your help. You'll have to come here, Driver will pick you up. Also, I know you've come in casuals today, but since the clients are fascinated towards our culture, you need to be dressed in something ethnic. I'm sending a saree for you with a stylist who will help you get ready. Be ready and come here by 5. These clients are very important so please be here on time.

Me: But why saree, I don't know how to handle it. You are just too much. Would you care to explain your orders in such a short notice? Call your secretary, she is already very hot. Why do you need me for this

Manav: I would have called my secretary only if she has a little brain too, I don't want a live mannequin to impress my clients; I want someone who can make the clients trust on this company. Now I have a lot of work to do, see you there darling. Bye..

With this he disconnected the call. How can he do this to me? Now I'll have to wear a saree for this meeting. And he didn't even tell me the details of this meeting. I'm not even prepared. He really needs a lecture from me now. Soon after, my thoughts interrupted with a call from reception saying that someone was waiting for me over there, I called that stylist into the common room, she had an amazing saree in a box and styling equipment in her bag. She worked a lot on me. And after 2 hours, I was looking as if I'm going to be a show stopper for some fashion show. The saree was too pretty for a business meeting. It looked as if I'm going to my engagement function.

The driver came and asked me to use the back door to exit the building because of my outfit. We secretly exited the office and drove for our destination. Soon after reaching there, I get out of the car, it was a 5 star hotel and a person was standing at the gate to escort me, I was escorted into a VIP area, I thought it to be a restaurant but it was a long passageway leading to a balcony. The balcony was mesmerizingly beautiful because of its view and its rare decoration. The view was a beautiful one but what confused me was a table kept over there having a seating capacity of only 2 people. The path to that table was covered with rose petals and fragrance of the environment was luring me to the heaven.

"Manav.... Manaaavvvv.. Are you there?" I called but no one answered. The escort who took me here was also not there.

"Manav Sir, I'm just 5 minutes late due to traffic. Are you here? Please reply" I tried again but no reply

Suddenly the lights went off and I was frightened. What was happening? Where is everyone? Am I at a wrong place?

"Anyone here?" I called again

"Yes here is a person without a heart who seeks an opportunity to express himself to the person who has his heart. May I have the permission?" Replied a voice which I know is of Manav

"Manav, stop hiding and come here. Who have you given your heart? Who's the unlucky girl?"

"Hey, don't call her unlucky, just turn back." came his reply. With this I turned back to see the most shocking view of my life. Manav was sitting on his one knee, dressed in a beautiful black tuxedo having a beautiful bouquet of red flowers in his one hand and other hand resting on his lap. I was initially shocked and then I started laughing

"Manav, which girl is going to faint today. I got it that there are no foreign delegates. You just want me to help you with a girl. Tell me who's she? If she didn't fall for your cheesy ways then I'll make her understand. Okay?" I said it while trying to suppress my laughter.

"Will you just shut up now, otherwise I'll fire you." He said faking anger

"Okay Okay boss, now continue" I said still giggling. He unexpectedly smiled and continues.

"Myra, it took me too long to understand my feelings, but since now i have understood, I won't step back. From a long time I was thinking why I feel so alive when I'm around you, why I want to spend more and more time with you. But yesterday night, my mother helped me to understand what it is. I then understood that I'm too dumb to understand my own feelings. Myra, I have known you for long now, and I respect you and your decisions. But as a friend, I believe that I should not keep anything secret from you, so today I want to confess my feelings towards you. I love you, please be mine. I know I'm a bit weird, but I'm handsome too at the same time. I think we can be great together, and I promise to take care of you with my life. I cannot bring moon and stars for you, but i promise to give you all the happiness in this world. I will never disappoint you. Please give me a chance. But even if you don't want to give me a chance, and then please tell me, we will forget what is happening here and resume our life as true friends. I promise we will never discuss this topic if you are not comfortable, and I will never force you. So please doctor, help me with this disease. It is killing me. Being a doctor, cure my disease, being a police, find my stolen heart, being a judge, and give me justice against my heart thief."

I had tears in my eyes. No one has ever thought about me in this way. People have used me for their own good, and here this guy, who has everything in this world, is praising me with all my heart. I was so shocked at his commitment that I had nothing to speak. I was feeling overwhelmed. He truly loves me, and never in my wildest dream can I think of hurting him, so I decided, that I would never let him down, I would give him whatever he wants. He has been my life from the past 3 years, and I will give him everything he wants for the rest of my life. Thinking this I immediately accepted the flowers and he embraced me in a long and passionate hug.

I was shocked beyond my wits. She said YES. The girl of my dream said YES. I am on cloud nine. Now, no one can stop me from making her mine. She is my now, and I'll make her happy. From now on, it's my duty to care and protect my girl, and I'll happily do it. After she said yes, I hugged her and asked her for a dance which she accepted. We danced and she praised my preparations and speech. My heart swelled with pride after listening to her words of appreciation. We had dinner and then I dropped her home. Her mother was so happy about this news. I asked her for a date for the next day as it was a weekend and she accepted. I was feeling the happiest man alive on this planet. May god bless us with this happiness for whole of our lives. I don't want to lose her at any cost. I reached my home and hugged my mother. Our families decided to meet on the coming Sunday to authenticate this relationship. My parents were very happy with my decision. I climb my bed and typed a message to the love of my life

"Waiting for tomorrow. Thanks for saying YES. Love you <3"

With this I drifted into a peaceful sleep after god knows how many days.

Dear Diary

Today Manav proposed me and I said yes. His proposal was like a dream, with a lot of flowers and happiness. I know that I don't love him right now, but I will develop feelings for him. After all who can resist him? He is good in every sense, and after all what he has done for me, I want to give him whatever he wants. I'll try to give him all the happiness he deserves. Our families will be meeting day after tomorrow to take this relationship to a next level. I hope everything will be good in this new phase. But I'm sure that with this YES, I have buried the past and that past will never come again. I'm happy with it, I'm happy with everything, and I hope this happiness stays. Tomorrow, I have a full day date with Manav, my first date. I hope everything go well. See you tomorrow J

I closed my diary and headed to my bed. I saw the message sent by Manav and replied

"Good night. See you tomorrow :)"

With this, I slept in an uneasy sleep. I just want everything to go smoothly. Ohh god, please don't let anything bad happen now.
