I cant impose my feelings on her...... I don't want her to force her in any way....... I want to marry her only after she agrees with her whole heart....... Not because i am her best friend......... or not because for her family ........

Tara : yes chote.... Give her some time...... I am sure that she will accept your love........ Because i have seen the same love in her eyes that i see in yours..... So don't u dare lose hope...... If u both are meant to be together then no matter what you will end up being together..
