"Yes, I do..."

There she is...gorgeous as ever, with big black magical eyes, and long black hair...walking graciously like no other girl on the campus...smiling enigmatically in her own style...this is what everyone would stare at...everyone wanted to treasure her smile...she hurried past everyone...her feet thumped on the ground lively with unlimited energy...her eyes searching for something unrestingly...there he is...sitting against the wall with a couple of books his beside and one more on his hand...you guessed right...hez a book-freak!! he reads, reads and reads...and writes too...writes what? beautiful poetry...his poems are one of a kind!!

She saw him...her feet started running towards him and his heart started thumping...he became so agitated...quite in an unsteady state...she came to him and smiled...he smiled back, covering his nervousness...she sat beside him and opened her bag...to pull out a gift wrapped so carefully and handed him...he opened the gift as carefully and his eyes widened...itz the thing he was searching desperately for almost a year...a book that he cherished most... and even dreamt in his sleep!! she looked into his eyes and asked
"will you say you love me now?"
his face changed... and he slowly gathered words only to say
"i'm sorry, i can't do that..."

She sighed...and said slowly,
"ok, i will make you say that very soon...anyway, i have to go now...see you later!"
and she left him...leaving him alone again...a small tear fell out from his eyes...he sat staring at her leaving the corridor...

And then his friend came to him...his trusted friend knew all this, as he has been seeing this scenerio from the past two months...almost twenty times...and asked him,
"did you say yes?"
he stared at his friend with no expression...and said
"no, I didn't..."and his friend asked,
"why? what's wrong with you? I know you loved her, and she has been asking you this thing from almost two months!! how foolish you are!! and you always say No!! tell me one thing, do you love her? or you just pretend?"
to this a shaken he answered,
"yes, I do...I love her so much..."
"then why didnt you say Yes?"
"do you really want to know?"
"yes! and right now!"
"ok, this is the time...if I say Yes, the game is over..."
"Game?"
"yes, game! do you know she will do anything if challenged?"
"yes, I do. but..."
"I'm playing a game with her...I challenged her that she can't make me say I love her...and that is the reason why she is doing all this for the past two months! and..."
"if you say Yes, the game is over...and she will no more care for you..."
"right. now, do you want me to say yes?"
"Yes, I do..."
this came from someone else...both friends turned their heads, to see who...and there stood...
She!! the love of his life...and the words are from her!! and she stood with tears rolling down her eyes...
she came to him, held his hand and said...
"you really thought I'm playing game, didn't you? but I knew you loved me...and you didnt know that I did too..."
he couldnt believe this...he stood in shock...he didnt know what to say...
she took again...asked
"will you say you love me now?"
to which he answered....
"yes, I do..."
