Be in Love

In the small town of Chikmagalur, where the winter winds carried whispers of tales untold. In the month of December, the town bloomed with the winter's boom. The small hills are covered with the milky sky and fog. In a corner of that small hill, lived an English schoolteacher named Garima. The school is near the river just around the corner from her home. She had chosen a quiet life after a heart-wrenching divorce, finding solace in her literature books and the warmth of her cozy home. Little did she knows that an unexpected spark would soon ignite her world.

 

Arvind is a cheerful and diligent delivery boy. Who came across lots of struggle and loneliness. worked in a bookstore and was tasked with bringing books to Garima from the bookstore. She ordered all the literature books, and variety of novels to engage herself after school time. Every week, he arrived with a smile, a bundle of books, and an infectious enthusiasm for literature. Garima, appreciating the gesture, welcomed the familiar face into her routine, finding comfort in the weekly exchange. Sometimes she felt very happy to see him and his attractive physique with unconditional smiles and respect.

 

She knew Arvind is a graduate in English and he had an interest in higher study, but the situation did not allow him. his curiosity in remembering all the book names and authors is really impressive to Garima.

 

As the deliveries continued, Arvind and Garima shared interests, exchanging thoughts in literature, life, and everything in between. Once Garima asked, "Why didn't you take some of these books and read?" He replied with a smile "Sorry mam, I don't have sufficient time after my job, I have to take care of my grandmother, my father and mother passed away." After hearing Arvind, her eyes became wet, but couldn't resist saying, "Ok, I'll do something for you, whenever you come for delivery, I'll explain each single book within your time." Arvind felt very happy and thanked Garima for her heart touching words. She felt a little breath in her heavy heart and smiled back.

 

 

Every week Arvind delivers the ordered book and Garima waits for him to share the previous book summary. Their conversations grew deeper, transcending the boundaries of customer and delivery person. Garima, who had resigned herself to a life of solitude, found a surprising companion in Arvind, a man five years younger than her.

 

Winter descended upon Chikmagalur, and with it came a blanket of fog that painted the town in shades of white. Inspired by the enchanting winter landscape, Garima proposed a spontaneous trip to explore the beauty that lay beyond their familiar surroundings. Arvind initially hesitant, was persuaded by Garima's infectious spirit, and together they set out on a journey that would change the course of their lives.

 

The winter trip became a magical adventure filled with laughter, street foods, and quiet moments shared under starlit skies. As the days unfolded, an undeniable connection blossomed between Arvind and Garima, a connection that neither of them had anticipated. The winter air seemed to carry whispers of love, and the enchantment of the season wrapped them in a cocoon of warmth.

 

Underneath the coolest moonlight, Garima and Arvind shared a certain moment by the crackling fireplace after a day of foggy adventures. As the warmth enveloped them, a tender kiss sparked, and without words, they found themselves wrapped in each other's arms, their hearts beating in sync. Unconsciously, they drifted into a deep, emotional embrace, cherishing the profound love that blossomed in the wintry silence, creating timeless memories together. When Garima touched her lip to Arvind's chest she felt tremendous love and both the lips were adjoined with the spark of winter. The air was crisp, and their breaths formed delicate clouds as they explored the frost-kissed scenery hand in hand. Everything is soundless! Both are pleased by the pin drop silent. Arvind tried to wrap his arm over Garima, she closed her eyes in side his neck, inheal the fragrance of love. The door of the window automatically closed by the winter blow. The curtains are shrinked with shyness, and both lost with in love world where is no boundaries,restrictions and variation..

 

As night fell, they sought refuge in a cozy cabin adorned with flickering candlelight and the warmth of a crackling fire. The snow outside painted a serene backdrop for the emotions that would unfold. Both the bodies closed each other with tight hugs. Garima didn't stop him from opening her and he too. Each and every moment she felt divine with her body. In the quiet intimacy of the cabin, Garima and Arvind found themselves drawn closer by the allure of the winter night. The soft glow illuminated their faces as they shared stories, laughter, and lingering glances that spoke volumes. The chill outside only deepened the warmth within their hearts. Both understood their inner breathing and the untold emotions. Garima again looked at the genuine eyes and kissed his forehead. He smiled and held her hand the entire night.

 

However, as the trip neared its end, reality set in. Garima, in a moment of self-awareness, realized the age difference and her past. Fearing judgment and societal expectations, she withdrew, creating a distance between herself and Arvind. She explained her reservations, acknowledging the complexities of their situation. Heartbroken but undeterred, Arvind understood Garima's concerns but refused to let love slip away. He patiently waited, proving that age and past experiences could not overshadow the depth of their connection. But Garima stopped her book, she felt very bad about herself, because of her attraction Arvind troubled. But Arvind got hope and care from Garima's attachment, so he wanted to stay with her.

 

Slowly, with each passing day, Garima witnessed the unwavering love and devotion that Arvind held for her. Love, as it often does, knows no boundaries. Garima, moved by the sincerity of Arvind feelings, opened her heart once more. Finally, she concluded that she wants Arvind too, his presence is more valuable than her life. She wants to fulfil Arvind, and his dream.

 

The winter that had initially brought them together now became a testament to the resilience of their love. Against the odds, Garima asked Arvind to hold her entire life and Arvind chose to embrace their connection, letting go of societal expectations in favour of the warmth they found in each other. In the cozy town of Chikmagalur, where winter whispered tales of love, Arvind and Garima defied conventions, proving that age and past scars were powerless against the enduring strength of a love that bloomed in the coldest of seasons.
