"Who goes first?", she asked when he was busy strolling through nostalgia as he scrolled into his hidden album on his phone.

"Chellama", the album that held infinite memories which was he had buried deep into his soul. Frozen bits of frames that he cuddled and snuggled on the darkest of nights.

They had shared a million memories. Some together, some apart. And this Pandora box would not just open up the best of those but also the worst.

"Neeye sollu ma", he quickly moved his gaze to bore into hers.

"I will go first", she smiled and scrolled to find a picture.

A picture of her on stage with the Maestro ARR himself on keys. Not only to sing a song for the genius himself but also being able to share stage with him in his live concert was one of those fantasies that she never thought would come to life but never stopped dreaming.

And when the moment came, it was way beyond a surreal experience.

Crowd cheering her name with flash lights, the spot light focusing on her, Maestro playing keys for her and Ani on the first row. It was a perfect moment.

"Andha oru nimisham...", she said as his eyes stayed transfixed on the picture.

"I wished you were there to see our dream come to life", she meekly confessed.

Although she missed him every minute of her life, she missed him the most when her bucket list dream came true.

He moved dangerously close and her heart instantly started to race.

"Apo andha nimisham matum dan miss panna?", he whispered into her ear and smirked with a mischievous smile when her face flushed almost instantly.

Her curls were now dancing on her shoulder blades to reach the length just above her chest and the fragrance was making it very hard for him to quell his urge to give in to his temptations.

A wave of blush hit her from nowhere when she sensed his shoulders brushing on hers.

"Apdi Illa", she managed to blurt when her nerve endings curled into a fashion that was making her whole body more sensitive than ever before.

Being in close proximity to this guy has always been a fine thread of self control that she had managed to keep intact until this moment. All of a sudden it all felt futile.

She leaned on his shoulders and he wrapped his arms around to cocoon her into his soul. A haven that was built only for her.

"Namma neraya pesirkom... Rahman sir ku paadanum... avar kooda stage la perform panra apo Neenga epovum pola rasichu kekanum nu lam...", she said with a vacuous smile.

It was impossible for her to hide the fact that he wasn't with her when the biggest of their dreams for her came to life.

"Na anga Illa nu unaku kandippa theriyuma?!", he asked and his grip tightened.
