Tony and Dana had grown up together in Zurich, and both attended St. Thomas Public School. The city was serene, tranquil, and stunning—much like the childhood they had shared. Right from the start, they were classmates, playmates, and the type of friends who appeared to be inseparable.
Tony was a kind soul. Shy, contemplative, and always courteous, but painfully shy. The small space between his teeth made him self-conscious, and he seldom smiled. Once, he had been teased about it, and from that point on, he bore the weight of that insecurity. But despite all of that, school was still home for him—for one simple reason: Dana.
To Tony, Dana was not only his best friend. She was the most gorgeous girl in the whole school and his first crush. His affections for her started in the 8th standard. By the 9th, he could no longer contain them. With a quivering heart, he asked her out. But Dana, taken aback and uncertain, refused. The rejection soon turned into a rumor in the school, and it hurt both of them more than words could express.
Years passed, yet Tony's emotions never dissipated. Until the 12th standard, Dana was the sole girl in his heart. He kept pondering if she had ever recalled that cringe-worthy confession long ago, yet he couldn't muster the courage to ask. Unnecessarily, friends, exams, even the most challenging situations—none of them intimidated Tony. One thing did, though, and that was Dana.
At home, Tony was fortunate. His parents trusted him to the fullest and left him to himself, knowing he would never take advantage of it. Yet, despite their love and openness, Tony never discussed Dana with them. Some emotions, he felt, were too delicate to be uttered.
Then there was the day everything shifted. Tony sat down with Dana at a coffeehouse. His heart pounded in his chest as he sat across from her, mustering all of his bravery. And then—after all these years—he spoke the words he'd practiced a thousand times.
"I still love you, Dana."
This time, Dana did not turn away. She smiled, her eyes sparkling as she whispered, "Yes.
They spoke and laughed for hours as if the world beyond was not present. For Tony, it was like a dream that he did not want to end.
As night fell, Tony escorted Dana home. Just as she was about to step onto the street, he embraced her and whispered farewell. His heart felt lighter than it had in years. But then—fate was cruel. In a flash, a speeding automobile struck Dana as she stepped onto the street.
Tony stood paralyzed in shock. His whole world came crashing down in one moment. Yet, without delay, he ran to her side, picked her up in his arms, and sped off to the hospital. He phoned her parents, and they arrived in a flustered, panting state.
Years passed in what seemed like hours in that waiting room. At last, the physician emerged with words that lifted the burden off Tony's chest: "She's safe."
When Dana opened her eyes, the first thing she sought was Tony. She offered a weak smile and spoke, "Hey, what's up, Tony? Something happen?"
But Tony's heart fell. She didn't recall. Not the coffee shop, not his proposal, not her stunning "yes."
He pretended a smile, concealing his pain, and slipped out of the room quietly. Outdoors, tears flowed freely. That day, Tony learned happiness is as fragile as glass.
But despite the heartbreak, his love for Dana remained intact. He bore it silently, not as a burden, but as a vow. A vow of love, patience, and hope.
For in Tony's heart, Dana was always his forever.
This is how Tony loves Dana.For next two year he becomes depressed in this case. After two years Dana recovered all the things that she forgoted. Then she went to Tony's house to see him. That time his mother told her that he went to himachal pradesh 2 years ago he didn't come back.
