The package
There were two long distanced lovers named Aakash and Priya they were childhood friends. They used to share everything about each other. Aakash was a confident & talkative guy on the other hand Priya was shy and introverted but she was very intelligent. They both used to admire each other a lot. Gradually their friendship turned into love. They would exchange glances & go for coffee dates. Coffee dates would be there every weekend plan. They can talk about anything and everything for hours. Both were from Commerce backgrounds. Aakash's goal was to become a Chartered Accountant. On the other hand Priya's goal was to become an Investment banker. Both were focused on their goals and would work day and night to achieve their goals. Amongst this busy routine they hardly used to get time to talk with each other. The communication & the bond that they used to have with each other started to fade. One day Aakash got the wonderful opportunity to work with an abroad client. On the other hand Priya was unaware of this fact. Aakash left for his dream job in America. The communication even faded because of different time zones. Days turned into years but there was no sign of Aakash's arrival nobody knew where he was. Priya was very concerned for him. She used to call him everyday, but nobody used to pick up her call. One fine day she got to know about his job in America from one of Aakash's friends. She tried contacting the company. The company told Priya that they had a great time working with Aakash but Aakash had already left for India. One day an unknown parcel stepped upon her door. It was Aakash's first salary with a handwritten note and a beautiful saari for Priya. The note stated that,
Dear Priya, I am very sorry. I was so busy that I forgot to contact you. But guess what I got an opportunity to work with an abroad company in America. This was my first salary. I got you a beautiful saari for you. I love you so much & I will meet you soon. After 2-3 days they came to know that the plane in which Aakash was arriving got crashed due to some technical issue and Aakash lost his life. Priya was unable to accept the fact that Aakash was no longer with her. Her family tried to get her married with another guy but she refused to do so. Now Priya is still unmarried but she is living with the memories of Aakash. Their love was eternal.
