It was a sunny day approximately 2 pm in the afternoon, i have just finished my meeting in the office and as i was about to start the engine of the motorbike i found the girl (saru) that i have lost a year back ago.

It was the girl (saru) that i have loved her since those past years and i lost her and since then i am still wandering for her being single.

Well it so happened a year back ago, i used to work in the cafe as a waiter and she used to work in a boutique shop. The shop and cafe was next to each other so the girl (saru) and her other staff members from the shop used to come and have lunch during the lunch break. As i was the new staff in the cafe so i didnt knew anything about her at that time and as she was the long serving staff there so she comes to the cafe, orders some food, she haves the food, she pays the bill and go to the shop for her work. Well during those moments i had fallen in love with her, its like love at first sight. The most interesting part is i fell in love with her on my 2nd day of my work, it was like one sided love which i loved her secretly. As the days passed by this process went on until i finished my one month working in the cafe and it was the festive occasion in our country so we have to close the shop, cafe, office etc for 2 weeks so we were ready to go to our home for celebration on the festive occasion. The most annoying part was i am gonna miss her so i didnt have her cell phone number nor i knew her address and i didnt even have her any social network accounts where i could tell her secretly that i love her. The whole day during the celebration of festival went on thinking about her, once my ancestors told me that if we fall in love then we dont like to do anything like no sleep, no hunger, no work just thinking about the person we fell in love, thats what happened to me during that occasion. My siblings and my relatives used to ask me the reason about it on the festive occasion as this festival is about eating, dancing, enjoying with the families but my situation was like thinking about her, missing her, waiting for the end of the festival and going back for work to see her. One day as i was scrolling my social media account i thought of finding her through the account of the shop where she has been working and while i did that with full of surprise i found her, then a smile appeared on my face the expression some kind of excitement and feeling so happy, then i started exploring her profile on every social media so i would like to mention something that i didnt even know her name during those past one month but when i found her account then i knew her name too. So as days passed by i started exploring her profile everyday and seeing her updates on those social medias and enjoyed every moment with my families until we came to the end of the festive occasion.

I was so excited and happy to go back for work and see her but unfortunately she came back to work after 3 days, i missed her during those past days of festive occasion and so during my 3 days work but i was so excited and happy to see her.

Then i made up my mind and thought of proposing her that i love her so i couldnt tell her in a person as i was a shy person and an introvert so i thought of proposing her through text messages, then i text her on social media telling her that i love her.

Then she replied me, "who are you?"

i replied, "i am the person who loves you"

she replied, "do you know me"

i replied, "yes i know you so i love you"

she replied, "did you see me"

i relied, "yes i saw you and fell in love with you"

she replied, "but i dont know you so tell me who are you"

i replied, "well i am the guy who works in the cafe next to your shop"

she replied, "i am still confused there's lots of staffs working there so can you tell me in detail"

i replied, "the person who delivers food at your shop and even for you too"

she replied, "but you are like a shy guy so how did you fall in love with me and got my account"

i replied, "well i fell in love with you when i first saw you and got your account from the shop"

she replied, "how can someone fall in love without knowing each other and whose that person from my shop who gave you my account"

i replied, "well its love at first sight so love can happen anytime any place with anyone and i got your account from your shop official account on social network"

she replied, "alright its good that you fell in love with me but i am not ready for it right now"

i replied, "why arent you ready for it"

she replied, "i cant tell you its personal"

i replied, "well you can say whatever you want but i love you and i want to marry you"

she replied, "i dont know so stop texting me like this"

And so our conversation ends but i didnt give up so everyday i used to write a message in the packing box and deliver food at her shop to give her and see her and sometimes she comes to the cafe to have some food but she couldnt do eye contact with me while paying the bills as she knew that i love her and sometimes she comes to the cafe and asks about the message in the packing box.

Time passed and days passed, so finally another festival arrives the festive of lights and on that festival we dont go home but we stay at our work and enjoy the festival so on that day she dressed in traditional costume and my goodness she was looking so beautiful that i was jealous that other people were praising her beauty on that dress so i couldnt control myself and texted her,

i replied, "you are looking so beautiful on that dress today and i know you wore that dress for me because i told you to wear that dress on this day"

she replied, "thank you for the compliment but sorry i wore it because its our tradition to wear this sort of dress on the festive occasion"

i replied, "i know whether you wore it for me or for the festive occasion because i know i mentioned it and you wore it"

she replied, "you can think whatever you want but its for the festive occasion"

i replied, "alright lets forget it, i need a favor from you"

she replied, "what favor"

i replied, "do you how to make rangoli, as we dont know how to make rangoli"

she replied, "yes i know how to make rangoli"

i replied, "wow thats great so can you come in the cafe and make rangoli for us"

she replied, "ok i will come and make rangoli for you all"

As she was ready to make rangoli for us so as for pretense i could see her while making rangoli in the evening. So finally that time has arrived so i was waiting for her to make rangoli but as time passed she didnt came so we made it by ourself then later i saw her busy making rangoli at her shop so i just have to see her making rangoli but one thing i couldnt take my eyes off from her so i just enjoyed looking at her until we went back to our home.

As the festive occasion was going on so we all had to go to our home celebrating it with our families so i texted her everyday as i didnt have her number and she used to reply me back. The days passed and finally the festival was over and we all came back to our work again but she didnt came as usual like before so she came after 2 days of wait. It went on normally like other days texting her, delivering food at the shop where she works and after working for 3 months in the cafe she stopped coming to the shop for 3 days and i used to text her but she didnt replied back my messages and i was worried about her.

Finally one day she replied my message and told me that she had left the job so i asked the reason about it then she told me her mom is in the hospital so she cannot continue the job for now as it might take time, after that conversation i too decided to quit the job and so i did it. I used to text her everyday but no replies from her so i thought she might be busy with her families so i stopped texting her and thought of moving on, since then i lost her and before my love story starts it ended up in that way it was like my incomplete love story.

So today after a year i found her infront of me, well she didnt see me as she was busy in the call so i approached myself to her after her call,

Me: "hello saru, how are you?"

Saru: "my god what a surprise, where were you and what have you been doing"

Me: "well since you left i started moving on, how about you?"

Saru: "since that day when my mom was hospitalised i didnt think of anything, i just thought about my mom so thats the reason i told you i am not ready for any kind of relationship"

Me: "well i understand because i dont have my mom i lost her so i just thought of you and loving you"

Saru: "yes i know and i am really for that"

Me: "its alright i have told you before i dont have my mom with me so i needed someone who could love me like my mom so i loved you but you came in my life unexpectedly and went from my life unexpectedly, you know i was so happy to see you working there even if you didnt accept my love knowing that one day you are gonna realise my love"

Saru: "yes i understand your feelings but the situation made me do that so i am really sorry for it"

Me: "its ok so what are you doing these days?"

Saru: "well i am working in an institution and i am happy with that work"

Me: "thats great so what are you doing here?"

Saru: "i came here to deposit money in the bank"

Me: "alright you might be busy so you can go to the bank"

Saru: "no i have just deposited my money in the bank and going back to the office"

Me: "thats the same that you are busy going to the bank or going back to the office"

Saru: "yes but i need to talk to you so can we meet after 5 in the evening?"

Me: "well thats a great idea so lets meet after 5 in the evening"

Saru: "ok but you didnt tell me why are you here?"

Me: "well i am here because i have just finished my meeting in the office"

Saru: "alright thats great so meet you after 5 in the evening i am getting late for my work"

Me: "well should i drop you at your office? If you dont mind"

Saru: "alright sure that would be great"

i dropped her at her office and we decided to meet each other after 5 in the evening.

i waited her until the clocks strikes 5 and finally that time has arrived, she came and we went to a cafe for a coffee.

Me: "so saru you told me you wanted to talk to me"

Saru: "yes i wanted to talk about since we left our job i missed you so much"

Me: "thats great that you missed me even i missed you so much but you should have text me and i had texted you so many times but you didnt replied me back"

Saru: "well i am really sorry but i told you the reason behind it"

Me: "yes i know so thats you wanted to talk about?"

Saru: "no the actual reason is since we left the job i missed you so much and later i knew the reason why i missed you so much"

Me: "so whats the reason that you missed me so much"

Saru: "the reason is that i started feeling your love and i started falling in love with you, i wanted to tell you about it but later i thought you might be busy in your life or you might have found someone else"

Me: "since that day we stopped texting i started moving on but i have never stopped loving you and what did you say that i might have found someone else let me tell you one thing clear that there's no one next after you and no one can replace you from my heart and i am still single waiting for you"

Saru: "being single and waiting for me that doesnt sounds good because what if i was in a relationship with someone else"

Me: "well if i cant be in your personal life and know about it but there's one thing we can know about each other through and thats social network so i check your every social account everyday so thats how i know that you are still single"

Saru: "thats also a good way of knowing so what if i didnt post anything about my personal relationship with anyone"

Me: "i know you very well that you cant hide anything from anyone so whether its on social network too"

Saru: "well so you know me very well thats why you still love me and waiting for me"

Me: "thats right saru i love you so much"

Saru: "i love you too"

Well the story started with lost and it ended with found so i lost my love a year back ago and finally i found my love back. Some stories are not made for losing someone but its for showing love and care for years until we get back our love. As i had mentioned before my love story ended before it started and its my incomplete love story so here destiny made my love story complete and if you trust your love then definitely we will get our lost love back, overall we can say that if we love someone truly and deeply then that love never fades away nor goes from our life, its true that we have to struggle hard for that person if we love truly but we get the good result in the end "the fruit of patience is sweet".
