Four years of love

It was a stopped car by the side of the main road and a middle age man who was walking along the road. As he passes the car he just saw a familiar face, sitting inside the car and looking at her mobile phone, he knew her and that face, and for a moment his memory goes into some line of incidents which he could never forget.

It was a marriage proposal came to him through their parents, then he visits her house with the parents. He did like her as the first sight, she was looking good, fair face, looks charming. Then the affair was building up, he started to love her, so she was. He needs to see her everyday but he could manage only in weekends, she was waiting to see him and they share lots of love, they do not care other things and they live with the sweetnes of love.

Everyday has a morning, day and night, if you feel the warmth of the sunshine then you will see the darkness in the night. Then that night came, dark night, night of suspecting. He suspects her on something and then there was an argument, they needed to stop the affair. Everything was broken, trust and hearts.. there was no any other choice but be separated. So it happened.

Now after exactly four years he seeing her, lot of things has been changed, he initiated the conversation. “Hey how are you? Nice to see you again”, she looked shocked but felt happy so she opened the door of the car and came outside “Hey hi how are you” she replied, “you look same as 4 years ago” it was him, “yea the nothing has been changed but you” she said, “what about Me? Same here, only I’m getting old and bald” he said touching his forehead, he was suffering from hair falling. “I came here with my mother for her eye surgery and it’s boring at the hospital so I thought to get some drink and went to that snack bar, that one” he tried to remind the name of the snack bar but couldn’t, “milk & shake it is” she helped,

And there he recalls his memory with her when he first visits the milk & shake. She was sitting in front of him trying to find love in his eyes, of course she saw that love, eye full of love, “do you love Me?” Question from her, “yes my dear, of course I do, I will love you and simply that is what I can assure, I will not swear on Sun and moon because I’m not sure about those, I will no say that I love you like the sky or ocean because also I have no any trust on them, but I simply say these three words, I love you and accept that because I’m sure about my words and I trust them”.

That words rumbles in his ears and her too, she distracted the silence, “I heard you were married ” she did not look at his face, “Me? Oh no I’m not” he replied, “why ? You are getting older, didn’t you meet a good and nice girl ?” She asked with a smile, “girls are met, nice, good, charming but didn’t meet a girl like you, so still I’m alone ” “by the way why are you not married? I heard your parents searched a handsome and well established boy for you” she was thinking from where he got these details but she suppressed that question and said “yes, a handsome, established boy, he has everything, job, prestige and everything, but he is not kind like you, he does not expecting a love from me, he needs something else, so I said no and waiting let time to decide.

He saw she as charming and beautiful as the first day he saw her, that face and that expressions and that cheerful voice. He started again “you will not meet anyone like me and I will not meet anyone like you too, it’s been four years but still we missing each others, the day I left you is the most painful day in my life, for these years how much I suffered being away from you, I’m the only person who knows it”. Having said that he looked away, she knows his feelings and she said “that was a bad day and that was the longest night I had ever, the day we parted, I was thinking I might meet you again sooner but never thought it would take four years, but the word love has four words and I have heard many songs of four years of love, but here we have not seen for four years then suddenly you are here in front of me standing again as the first day we met, as the last day we met, but I’m waiting for this day, don’t know why it took so long” he understood her feelings and he tried to make her feel better, “some stories have long life span and some has short, story of you and me has a short version of it. It was not too easy to take my heart back which I had given you, I always pray for god but I knew love is hurtful sometimes. “Yet I have one question to ask, I think it’s fair to ask this, I have asked you this four years back but today I’m asking again, do you love Me? Well precisely do you still love me ? ” And she looked away with that question and take deep breath before the answer, “Yes” she said slowly but clear voice, “And you? Do you still love me ? ” counter question from her and that was expecting him, “Of course I do and I will promise you that I will never hurt you again”, that was enough to make her happy, she liked simple answers and it was him who taught her that simpler things makes more happy.

And that is that, story does not end if it does not have proper finish, it always ends with happy. So they met again after four years unexpectedly, they bound to each other, so they meant to be born for each others. They married one year later and having happy married life. Four year of love is uncertain, that is what I have heard, but four years without love is also uncertain, you never know what happens tomorrow and who will meet tomorrow.
