Nina

He is late. I don't like waiting very much. It seems like its going to snow and just this very idea is making me so happy. I just love snow and everything about winter, after all I was born in winter.

                                                                                       ****

Alex

I'm half walking and half running. I can see her waiting there, tapping her feet out of impatience.

"you are late Alex" she says as soon as I stop

"I know, I'm sorry" I manage to choke out. I take several deep breaths to calm myself down. Okay! This is it.

" So are we going somewhere today or are you gonna just stand there, Alex I don't know what you are thinki-"

"Nina" I stop her mid sentence. She stiffens, all serious.

                                                                                         ****

Nina

Something in his voice tells me he is nervous and tensed all at the same time.

"Nina you have to know why I came here, Its just not some stupid official tour but I came here for you!"

I gasp. I think I'm out of breath.

"Nina I wanted to talk to you so badly when I first came to know that you had a crush on me back in 9th grade, I-"

"Wait, I wanted to talk to you too but I never knew until after the incident that it was you who wanted to meet me, I thought it was Danny playing tricks" I burst out, my voice rather loud.

"Oh!" he takes deep breaths before trailing off again.

" That is something I never knew but anyways I was angry at you,angry at you for not coming to meet me because as a popular boy I was not used to people disobeying me especially a girl, so I never approached you a second time the entire time in high school" His voice sounds harsh but I guess I deserve it. I knew it, Deep down inside me I always knew that he was angry at me but then I was a coward, I just wouldn't approach him nor did I tell any of best friends about it.

"It was in college that I realized that I was desperate for you. I realized that you had changed me because even though we never conversed, I remember doing good things to impress you. That's what I hated most about myself then, I hated the fact that I was being good, that I wanted you and only you!"

He sighs.

But me, I am just too scared to say anything. I know there is more to this story so I remain silent watching him as he slowly regains himself and continues-

"So I started drinking more than ever and having 2-3 girlfriends every week hoping to forget you once and for all, but in the end I couldn't. Then I started contacting you on Facebook and decided to start a conversation on FB but you just blocked me" The last few words are spoken a little too loudly. I look at his face and can see the remembrance of those painful days in his eyes.

I had a reason too of blocking him,

"I blocked you because I thought that since you were in college now there would be no chance for us and just looking at your texts made it unbearable for me. I knew I had to forget you to concentrate on my studies" I speak up.

"So did you forget me?" he asks, his face expressionless.

"No" my voice barely audible," I didn't, I just pushed your memories deep down inside me, out of reach"

He closes his eyes for a few seconds and then without acknowledging what I said he continues-

" After that I got even more enraged. when I got a job after graduation I decide to track you down and tell you how much pain you have caused me but coming here and meeting you changed my plan's" Alex finishes off.

Change of plan's, I don't know what that means but I certainly believe that I screwed up big time. I mean he did love me but now? I don't think so.

I've lost the love I loved the most

His face is peaceful now. He firmly but cautiously wraps his arms around me. What? what is going on?

"I love you"

Just then I feel a sudden cold prickly sensation on my face, then on my hand and I can see so does Alex. Both of us look up-

Its snowing

"I love you too" I say back. Alex's face snaps back to me and the most beautiful smile that I've ever seen forms in his face.

Snow is falling

He leans in, so do I and our lips meet.

Snow is falling

We are kissing, passionately and deeply.

Snow is falling

Everything inside me breaks apart and I start crying. I bury my face in his chest suddenly shy of the world. He smells so good.

Instead of consoling me, he pulls me more closer to him and kisses my hair and whisper's in my ear " I'm yours forever"

Its still snowing

This winter our lives have changed in a big way.

It has been like the different magnificent parts of a sonata.

It has been like a

Winter Sonata

It is dedicated to dizzygirl43 for being so wonderful and good.

I got the idea of this story from daydreaming about Alex.

Finally, I would like to borrow two lines from my best friend Reema826's poem 'Silent love-heard' and dedicate them to the lovebirds Nina and Alex

'Little did she know he would come,

Little did he know she would wait'

So this is it guys, Please stay tuned for me next short story 'Elliot' which I'm going to update soon enough.
