Writer's POV

Shreya: Dev.... I ..... I love you .

She said and closed her eyes tighly.
Dev looked at her shocked. She slowly opened her eyes.

Shreya: I'm really sorry dev...
please don't let this affect our friendship....
I loved you since we were kids... but as I shifted I couldn't confess to you....
but there was noone I could love like i love you .... I'm really sorry for hiding this from you.....

Dev: Aadhya was talking about you?

Shreya: She told that I love You ?

Dev: No she said there's someone who loves me immensely...
she told me to go and find her.

Shreya sighed.

Shreya: I told her about my feelings.

Dev: Why didn't tell me shreya?

Shreya: Because you were with Zoya.... I saw how much  you loved zoya.
She is your first love afterall.

Dev: She was not my first love ..... my first love was someone else.

Shreya: What? Who is she?

Dev: It was you Shreya.
You were my first love.
I loved you since the first day I saw you... but I couldn't confess to you.... after few years , you shifted and I lost contact with you.....
then only my parents got me Zoya's proposal...
I fell in love with zoya as I thought you and I will never meet each other again, I thought that you never loved me.....

Shreya was crying,
She hugged him ,even he reciprocated the hug instantly.

Shreya: Oh god, it's such a mess.....
why the hell we were so stupid then..... non of us would be in this situation today if we have confessed each other before I shifted.

They broke the hug and dev nodded agreeing with her.
Dev took Shreya's hands in to his.

Dev: You were my first love Shreya.... I loved you a lot... you made me realise the felling of love....

Shreya smiled with tears.

Dev: But,

Shreya: But ?

Dev: But I'm not ready for a relationship,
I moved on and I loved Zoya truly....
I need time to get over this ... I'm sorry.

Shreya: I understand dev... That's ok....we .....can....Still be....best friends....

Dev: No!!!! We can never be best friends now Shreya!!!!
That's not what I meant,
Can you wait for me ?
Bcause I know , you will be my future.......
I know I will fall in love with my first love again ......
I just need time Shreya..... Can you wait for me ?

Shreya smiled and cupped his face.

Shreya: I waited for you more than ten years dev....
I can wait for you till my last breathe.... you don't have to tell me to wait......
take as much as time you want dev....

Dev smiled with tears too.... He kissed her forehead and hugged her....

Shreya was more than happy, because now the person she loved more than anything gave her a hope .....
she knew that he is her future.
