Altar Bells

When I was in my 6th std, I usually used to go to Sunday schools and had only one companion with compassion and care; aleena....we used to talk a lot and most often about her cousins and their deeds because she had a lot........one of her cousins served as an altar boy with a chubby face.....

One serene morning, the virgin sky shed its tears with dark shabby clouds .......the holy mass went on in the altar but my full attention was towards that chubby boy whom she had mentioned earlier..there the spark of love buds and then I started to dream about him and longing for a single talk with him but had not been able to do so for the past so many years....

Nine years I had kept him in my mind...In every crowd, I searched for him even though I knew the fact that he's not there.

......All the crushes and cramps I left out when I went to Chennai for further studies but I kept his memories with me- the memory of an untold love.........love never ends.......

Then the life went by so fast ...3 yrs had gone like a galloping horse.....

Those three years I mostly concentrated on my studies only and rarely he came in my mind, sometimes I anguishedly remembered everything .......but was not able to forget him as he was such a unique one in my life....as days went by, one day I sent a friend request to him on Facebook...he actually didn't know that I had such a feeling for him.......we messaged and shared his excitement for the whole night ....and became friends more than lovers ...he messaged me regularly and talking to him was like drinking tea everyday.

On one good day, he called me on my number and tried to tell about his past that he already had a relationship and that breakup made him so down and he couldn't afford one .........so on

After that I regularly tried to disturb him by messaging or else I didn't think that it's a disturbance...but once he scolded me and told that he had a tight schedule with lots of project works and modules so he blocked me on the social media....then I felt like that I am nothing and cried that whole night and I didn't share it with anyone else...

It was over with that incident ...I regularly checked his contact in what's app but he had still kept me blocked me over there....all the days went out and I tried to sweep his memories out..

One day after my internal exams in 3rd yr..I got a message from his number and I tried to ignore it and that day me and my friends together planned to go for an outing ....I tried to not respond to his messages and he also called me many times...

When we went out for shopping, my friends were roaming inside the market but I was standing in the corner of a shop and suddenly I got a message that he proposed to me...

I WAS excited and I became spellbound by that message....from there we became love birds and from there our love story started...

It went well and we got married also...
