You Complete Me
She is tensed and sad at the same time. This is a new journey out of an old box. She is surrounded by a crowd of people but is still feeling alone. Because somewhere, deep in the heart, she is missing him badly. She is twenty eight, wearing a yellow dress with straight open hair, just the way he likes. But he is not there to praise her beauty and look at her with all the affection. After a great struggle with her inner self, she picks up her phone and tries to call him. The dialed number is busy. People are talking to her but she is not paying attention. She is lost in her thoughts. She stands up quietly and starts walking towards her room. All the people with their words are left behind. Now there are no voices and she has locked herself up in her room, crying. She is lost in the good old memories, when her mobile rings. But she is unable to hear the voice of the mobile. After good fifteen minutes her mobile gets tired of ringing continuously. After ten more minutes, someone starts knocking at the door badly. With a jerk, she comes in the real world, her eyes have turned red because of constant crying. She tries to wipe the tears but is failed to do so. She stands up in a confused state and rushes towards the door. As soon as she opens the door, she gets shocked. She starts staring at the person as she cannot believe in her eyes. The person is a handsome hunk of almost thirty two, wearing a white shirt and blue pant. He was looking worried and tired at the same time. It was none other than Halim, the same person calling her a few minutes ago. He utters her name in a choking voice:

Halim: Aryana?

She looks at him and he grabs her hand and starts walking outside. Sara tries to inquire about where they are going but remains unanswered.
Aryana: Why are you here? What are you doing? Where are we going? (She throws a bundle of questions upon him without any break.)
Halim: Just stay quiet, believe in me, and continue walking.
They reach near Halim's car. With some eye movements he directs her to sit in the car. She silently obeys. The car is running on the road. There is a deep silence in the car. When she hesitatingly starts:
Aryana: Halim please now tell me, what are you up to? I'm unable to understand your actions right now.
Halim stops the car. Aryana is amazed to see the beautiful surrounding. There is a beautiful lake with greenery and bunches of flowers around. The seen is mesmerizing. Nature has opened its arms for their welcome. She makes a face as all her expressions are questioning. Halim comes out of the car. Opens her side of door. Holds her hand and takes her to a bench nearby. Taking their seats they look in each others eyes and get lost in each other. There is something in his eyes that is bothering her. It is pain, concern and worry. But there is something else as well. It is love. Yes it is limitless love falling out of his eyes in the form of tears. Breaking the silence he begins:
Halim: Why didnt you pick up my calls? You know how much perturbed I got? Do you have any idea?

Aryana: (unknowingly) Calls?
Halim takes out his mobile and shows the number of calls he had made to Aryana a few minutes ago.
Halim: (getting annoyed of her careless behavior) Don't tell me you did not see my calls. I have been calling you for at least 15 minutes constantly. Where have you been? Please say something.
Aryana: (starts crying) I was missing you terribly. I was not able to concentrate in anything. I tried to contact you but you did not pick up my call.
Halim: So if Im not picking up the call, you will start cry?
Aryana: (cutely) But I lose control over myself when I miss you.
Halim: (takes her face in his hands) Sweetheart but Im always with you. Why do you take so much stress? Im going nowhere. I was busy on call with Mom only. No one else.

Aryana tries to speak but Halim continues.

Look at me. (she obeys) I will never leave you. So pleasing stop overthinking and hurting yourself.

Aryana: I trust you. But sometimes fear of losing you, takes over me. You know very well why it happens.

4 months ago

Halim and Aryana were busy in their wedding preparation. Everyone was very happy. But happiness and tragedy come hand in hand. Halim was going to pick up Aryanas wedding dresses when he met a severe accident and was in complicated situation. Aryana considered herself the responsible for the accident. Because it was her who insisted on his going that day. It took three long months for him to recover. Aryana died every second seeing him in that condition. She was every time with him, taking care, and never left him alone. Every moment she blamed herself for the accident at still does in the present time. Even after the recovery of Halim, she never left him alone out of fear.

Present Day

Halim was out of city for three days for works sake. Aryana used to call him every now and then. He used to pick her call, even when he was in meeting. This was the first time when he did not pick up the call. And Aryana got panicked. She was dismayed. She cannot imagine her life without Halim. Even Halim can no longer live without her.

Though they never exclaim their feelings openly, but they cared for each other. They loved each other like no one can. The unsaid emotions are the best. When the love is from soul to soul, it is metaphysical. It does not need words to show the feelings. Actions speak louder than words.

Halim: (cleans her tears and lovingly explains) Listen to me very carefully Aryana. You are not just a person in my life. Or you are not just my love. You are part of me now. You have become the part of my soul. I know you dont want to lose me. Even I dont. But the reality is that we both work. And sometimes, for works sake, we will have to accord with the situations. We will have to live far away for a while. It doesnt mean that we are leaving each other.

Aryana: (nodes her head understandingly) I know and I understand this too. Its just.(she takes a pause) I want to get rid of this fear. Its getting on my nerves now. I cannot describe my love and feelings in words. But all I want to say is that, You Complete Me. Without you, Im nothing.

Halim: I will help you with this nightmare of yours. And as for you, same is the case with me. Actually we both complete each other, and both of us nothing without each other.

Saying this, he kisses on her forehead, and she rests her head on his broad shoulder. Both enjoy the nature looking forward to a beautiful future. A future having a lake of happiness, greenery of success and flowers of love. Promising each other to stay. Promising each other to never leave. Promising to love forever, the way they do now. And promising to never break the promises. They said nothing, but said it all.
