IN LOVE 7 TIMES
This book is about falling in love. Actually, about falling for the right person no matter how many love affairs you have gone through. We meet so many people in life. We make friends we love. The one who accepts you the way you are is actually the one for you. I have written this story in parts.
I am in my wedding dress about to marry a stranger.
Why is it so?
In India, parents prefer arranged marriages than love ones. Thus, we also have to.
It is bit time for the ceremony to begin. Standing at window I am just thinking about the quote I once read, "IF I FALL FOR YOU, WILL YOU CATCH ME?” Closing my eyes and imagining that I am falling from somewhere high and.........
Nooooo it wasn't a good thought. I opened my eyes.
Am I falling for the right one?
Huh!
AAAAAActualllllly the story is not about my marriage. It is of the idea of love that I carried throughout my life.
It began in 4th std. I read a quote somewhere, “If I FALL FOR YOU, WILL YOU CATCH ME”. After consulting some experts I got some idea that it says about falling in love. I started thinking if someone will be there to catch me too. Those Disney fairy tale stories are the reason for sowing the seed of thought that a prince charming will come and will give you the kiss of true love and you will be living happily ever after. Is it going to happen? I am not sure.
LOVE STORY 1
My eyes were on the stairs. He was about to come.
Who?
My first love.
“He is so cute” my friend said.
“Yes he is” I said sighing.
He passed crossing us through the corridor. We watched him till he entered into his classroom.
His name was Sushant. He was in tenth std. “Age doesn’t matter what matters is love “I told myself. My best friend and I both had a huge crush on him. We most of the time used to skip our lunch for watching him. In house meetings too we would rush earlier than anyone else for getting the first bench in the center row. He used to stand near that desk. I took part in so many competitions, debates and so he could notice me. Watching him I would close my eyes and would imagine that I am falling from somewhere high and he is standing down there to catch me. I fall on his arms and…….
The kiss always remains. As always someone would woke me up.
“Hey hey Ammy” my friend was whispering.
“Yup what happened?” I was annoyed as she interrupted in between.
“Shushant is calling your name” she said.
I found him looking at me.”Ammy I am writing your name for the upcoming debate competition. Is it ok with you?” he asked
I didn’t wanted to agree but “yes it’s ok” I said
Love makes you crazy sometimes. You just forget everything but beloved.
Suddenly an idea struck my mind. I thought why not to meet him regarding my debate topic.
It was a good way to spend little time with him. So I headed after school towards his classroom. I heard him talking to one boy in the morning to meet him in class for any assistance. I knew he was there. I was happy too as we may b alone there. I reached door and was just going to open it. I saw him standing there from the half-opened door. My heartbeats were fast and slowed down quickly as I saw a girl coming towards him and they both kissed. I could not feel anything for a while. I turned around. A tear rolled over my left cheek. I do not know why I felt extreme pain in my heart. I took my bag from my class and run towards home. I locked my room and cried on my pillow for about 2 hours. It was first time I felt such pain and heartbreak. With closed eyes, I felt I had fallen but he instead of catching me was kissing that girl. I stopped thinking of him. It took some time for me to get out of that. Next year he passed out from the school and my first love story ENDED.
