他跑到学校饭堂，希望她在那里，但她并不在。找了三个小时，还是徒劳无功，于是他自己一个人去车站了。就是那时，他意识到自己想和她共度一生。当她不在身边时，他总会特别思念她。当他走到车站时，丽塔也在那里，和赫曼特一起。她走过来，朝谢瑞什笑了笑，为刚才那事向谢瑞什道了歉。然后赫曼特走了，谢瑞什和丽塔也回家了。
Later, Shirish sent Rita a friendship card, which expressed his feelings for her as a friend. Rita was happy. Days passed into years and they were in their last year of friendship when Rita knew that unknowingly she had started liking Shirish but didn’t have the 5)guts to tell him fearing she may lose his friendship forever. After college, both parted ways—Shirish didn’t take his graduation examination and lost a year. Rita took her examination and later took up a job, which kept her busy throughout the day.
后来，谢瑞什送给丽塔一张友情心意卡，表达他对她的友情。丽塔很开心。几年又过去了，一转眼，他们的友谊走到最后一年。这时丽塔才知道自己不知不觉中已经喜欢上了谢瑞什，但她没勇气告诉他，她害怕可能会因此永远失去他这个朋友。大学毕业后，他们各自过着自己的生活——谢瑞什没参加毕业考，耗了一年时间。丽塔参加了毕业考，不久就找到工作，每天都忙忙碌碌。
This went on for two years. Rita had been keeping her distance from Shirish. She wanted to get Shirish out of her mind as she was sure their relationship wouldn’t work out. Rita’s parents found a match for Rita and Rita agreed. She called Shirish one day and asked him whether he could meet her. Shirish met her. They both were quiet for some time. Shirish broke the ice by telling Rita that there was something he wanted to tell her. Shirish poured his heart out and confessed his feelings for her. Rita was open-mouthed. All she could say was, “Shirish, why did you express your feelings so late?” and she got up from the table and left.
这样的情况持续了两年。丽塔一直刻意和谢瑞什保持着距离，她不想再想着他，因为她确信他们不可能在一起。丽塔的父母为她物色了夫婿，她也同意了。一天，丽塔联系谢瑞什，问他是否能和她见面。谢瑞什去见了她。有那么片刻他们什么话都没说。还是谢瑞什打破了沉默，他告诉丽塔他有些话想和她说。谢瑞什倾心尽诉自己对她的爱意。丽塔惊呆了。她什么话都说不出来，只说了一句：“谢瑞什，你为什么这么迟才表白？”她从桌边站起来，离开了。
Rita and Shirish didn’t meet for 4 years after that. Rita heard about him from her mother that he had become a poet and writer and was 6)penning a book. Later, Shirish met with an accident and wanted to see Rita. Rita came to the hospital in a 7)crisp white 8)salwar kameez, looking as gorgeous as ever. Shirish asked Rita whether they could be alone for some time and she agreed. “Rita I want to know before I die, did you ever even like me?” Rita had tears in her eyes and replied, “Shirish, I’ve always been loving you but didn’t have the courage to tell you. I was frightened that if I ever disclose my feeling, you may go away from me.”
那以后，丽塔和谢瑞什有四年时间没再见面。丽塔从谢瑞什妈妈那得知他成了一位诗人和作家，并且正在写一本书。后来谢瑞什发生了车祸，提出要见丽塔。丽塔穿着一身亮丽的白色纱丽克米兹去到医院，她看上去像从前一样美艳动人。谢瑞什问丽塔他们能否独处片刻，她同意了。“丽塔，我想在死之前知道你有没有喜欢过我？”丽塔满眼是泪，回答道：“谢瑞什，我一直都爱着你，但我没有勇气告诉你。我怕对你表露我的感情，你会离开我。”
Shirish and Rita realized that just a matter of words drifted them into different worlds and now it was too late to change it. A few days later, Shirish died and left her his entire earnings from the sale of the book, which was dedicated to her.
谢瑞什和丽塔意识到，不过是几句话的事，把他们分隔在了不同的世界里。现在想要改变一切已经太迟了。几天后，谢瑞什走了，他把所写一书的全部收入留给了丽塔，而这本书，正是为她而写的。
