If only...

7 years, 6 months and 21 days had passed since last time Ajay met with Nazia and 3 years 10 days had passed since he last spoke with her. Ajay marvelled at his talent of remembering dates and that too so specific. That evening, the cold January breeze was blowing across his face, and he remembered the moments he had spent with nazia. He became very nostalgic about her. So he decided to write a letter to her.

“Dear Nazia,
How are you doing??? How is USA treating you? Well I know that I haven’t spoken to you since 3 years, and you as usual never tried to call up. Remember the day we had first met in the train and you for strange reasons came beside me and sat and we chatted the whole night and you kept on repeating that Im such a different guy...Well you will happy to know that I have left drinking and smoking . Also I have kept another promise which i made to you, I am still single, I did not marry. The entire world told me to forget you and move on in life, but I asked them to move where?? They told me not to remember you , but is it possible to forget breathing?? Nazia , it is not that I could not find another girl but I could not stop loving you so where is the question of loving someone else. You only knew that I loved you but today I will tell you about my feelings. Still today thinking about you fills my heart with a wonderful feeling. Just the moments I shared with you I realized what a beautiful thing the love can be. I am always indebted to you because of you I realized what love is....
Nazia if you have ever loved anyone with the kind of passion and commitment I did, you will realize what I went through when you said NO to me, You are far away from me, but let me assure you 1 thing that no distance is too great because our memories will live along, and You and I will live in each other’s dream till death do us apart.
Regards
Ajay”

Tears came down from her eyes after she read the letter. She realized that IF ONLY she had understood his love for her, which was so pure and without any expectation. The divorce date was nearing and within 1 month she will be separated from her husband. It was only a year that she had married the love of her life. She looked up in heaven, closed her eyes, but could not control her tears and uttered “GOD bless u Ajay, I Love you too.......” At the same moment while Ajay was praying in the temple, a flower fell on his head and his unconditional LOVE had won.
