It was a beautiful sunny day and Kelton was sitting in the cafe sipping his cold coffee along with Sidd. Suddenly his eyes caught a beautiful girl wearing a cute white dress with floral prints sitting on the opposite table along with her friend. Kelton secretly admired her for a while till Sidd snaped his fingers and said 'Bro, Fell in love huh? That too at first sight' laughed Sidd. Kelton smiled and blushed.
While he was still in his dream world, the girls got up to leave.

Just then Kelton approached the girl in white dress. She gave him a stunned look. 'Hi, I'm kelton. You look so beautiful.I usually don't compliment anyone but just felt to say it to you. Yeah I know we're strangers but still....',smiled and said Kelton. The girl's friend tried to mock at him but the girl held her hand, smiled and walked away without saying a word. Then Kelton and Sidd left to their home.

Sidd was a soul who went through a painful break up in his college days and since then he lost his belief in love. He tried convincing kelton to not to fall for any girl as he didn't want his only best friend to get hurt like him.
Kelton was not in a mood to listen to him, all he could think was about that girl in white.

Few days later those girls saw Sidd and Kelton in the same cafe.
They came to the boys table, pulled two chairs and sat. Sidd and Kelton didn't understand anything. The girl started talking to Kelton.,'Hi Kelton, I'm Natasha and this is my friend Natalia. No one has ever complimented me in my entire life and I didn't know how to react that day that's why I left. I'm sorry if I'd embarrassed you and also. Thank You.' And they started to talk and a good bond was created between them.
Natalia started talking to Sidd and made him feel comfortable.They found that they had the same taste of choice as they both ordered chocolate cake while Natasha and Kelton ordered vanilla cake.
Soon the four became good friends.
Sidd too liked Natasha as a sister but he felt something unique about Natalia. He loved her friendship.

Soon then the friendship blossomed into one sided love for the boys. Yes, Sidd started developing feelings for Natalia as her presence made him super comfy and happy.Most importantly she made him forget all the pain that his first break up caused.He wished to make her as his life partner while Kelton was  busy day dreaming.

One day,the four went to a garden park for outing. Natalia told Sidd about her feelings for him.She said that he was just like her dream boy in all aspects.
Sidd just then pulled out a rose from his shirt, fell on his knees to her and said 'Miss.Natalia would you like to become Mrs.Natalia Sidd?'. Her eyes filled with tears of joy as she too sat down, took the rose from his hands and hugged him tightly as if she would never let him go.He too hugged her tightly and called her his own.
Kelton and Natasha were indeed so happy for their best friends and wished them all goodness and happiness.

Kelton was still wondering that how he'll confess his feelings to Natasha. Each time he looked into her eyes he stammered.
But all of a sudden he plucked few flowers and gave it to Natasha and bent his knees and asked 'Natasha, I fell madly in love with you, I think we can marry. Will you marry me?'. Kelton was hoping for a 'Yes' while Natalia and Sidd were pretty sure that she would say 'Yes'.
Unfortunately her reply shocked all the three.
She said 'Kelton, I too like you but it's just in the sense of friendship. I never wanted to marry and I never will.I'm sorry but can we just be friends throughout our life?'. Kelton felt a big stone being thrown on his head.His eyes filled with tears.Sidd caught hold of him and all left to their homes.
That night ,the phone rang and Natalia picked it up. It was Sidd .'Kelton is getting too low.He's drinking alcohol for the first time that too because of a girl.What's your friend thinking in her mind? Does she know how much he loves her?', he said and hung the phone. Natalia felt sorry for Kelton but she too still didn't understand the reason for Natasha's 'No'.

Natasha on the other hand was scribbling something in her diary.She hid it as Natalia entered her room. Natalia saw her hiding it but didn't bother to ask about it. She noticed the teary red eyes of her dear best friend for the first time as she laid in bed and closed her eyes.

The next day morning, Natalia called out Natasha to come for breakfast downstairs but she didn't. Even after repeated calls she didn't come. So Natalia went to her room to see if she was okay. But she saw a strange sight.Natasha was lying on the floor with blood vomitted stains on her dress as well as on the floor. She was rushed to the hospital. Kelton and Sidd too went to the hospital.
Natasha was taken to the ICU. After a long time, the doctor came out and said that she has been diagnosed with blood cancer, final stage.The chances of recovery is also very low as it's the final stage.

Natalia, Sidd and Kelton just couldn't believe their ears. Natasha had never told about this to anyone not even to her best friend. She kept it a secret all her life.

Just a few hours later, the doctor said that they could see her.
Natalia ran inside and Sidd went for her moral support while Kelton stayed outside. He couldn't see his beloved in such a condition.
Sidd and Natalia came out and said Kelton to see her. And he went in, there he saw his girl, lying with so many machines on the side of the bed.
He went and sat near her and began to talk. He said 'I love You' to her. Tears rolled down from her closed eyes. Just then she opened her eyes and said to him in a pale voice 'Kelton, there's a diary in my room, under the bed. Take it and read it'.
Just a few minutes later, she took a deep breath and her heart stopped beating. Kelton couldn't bear this. He cried and cried over. Natalia too was deeply saddened by the death of her loved friend. Sidd tried to console both of them.

And a few days later, kelton remembered Natasha's last words. He went to her room and found the diary. Tears rolled down as he went through each page.

'KELTON, I FELL FOR YOU THE VERY FIRST DAY ITSELF. I HAD LOVED YOU SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE. I KNOW YOU'RE MAD AT ME AS I DIDN'T ACCEPT YOUR PROPOSAL. I TOO KNOW YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH. BUT THERE'S SOMETHING WHICH NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT ME, NOT EVEN NATALIA. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BLOOD CANCER A YEAR AGO. AND I KNOW, IT'S IN IT'S LAST STAGES.I'M PRETTY SURE I WON'T BE ABLE TO LIVE LONG WITH YOU. BUT I JUST WANT TO YOU TO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART ALWAYS' this was written in it.
Sidd and Natalia too had tears in their eyes as Kelton said this to them.

Two years later, Natalia and Sidd got married and moved to a new home. They said Kelton to also get married to someone and forget Natasha. But his reply melted their hearts.
He said 'I love her and she loves me. Even though she's not here physically, I can feel her presence. No matter what, I'm Natasha's and only Natasha's. I can't even imagine being with any other girl'.


Kelton got a job and moved to a city.
Sidd and Natalia got a baby girl after a year. And Kelton came to visit them. He asked the name of the baby and they said 'Natasha'. Kelton was indeed happy to hear it and wished them all happiness.

Kelton could feel Natasha's presence each and every moment. He felt that she was his guardian angel and he smiled each day with the confidence that she was by his side all the time.

Even death cannot part true love even though it parts the bodies.
