Flood
“I love you… What are these pains in comparison with the pleasure of the love that is in my heart?”
He gently looked down…
“Tell me how did your exam go?” She wanted to know all about everything around him.
“It went well. I solved all problems.”
“Nice…” “I wish you get your job soon. So that we can marry”. A smile floated on her lips and in her eyes.
He dropped a piece of stone in the water. Some fishes came to check it out and went back again.
“Today was my last paper”
Silence…
“My parents will not allow me to marry you”. His eyes had not seen her for long. But seemed they had to wait for more…
Her throat started to become dry… Eyes were ready to burst into a flood…
Few more moments in silence…
“I will die without you”
These were her last words that his ears heard. For his heart and soul kept listening to her forever.
When results of the final exams came, he had stood first in his high school. But he didn’t reach to collect the mark sheet. For he saw his mark sheet of life as blank…
This year, the village witnessed flood. There was water everywhere. Their favourite place – the pond – no one could see where it started and where it ended. It had become one with the water. There was water everywhere.
A body floated. It kept floating for hours and gradually moved towards the east. There, it reached and stuck up with the top of an Ashoka tree. After some time, another body came floating from the east. It stopped near the very same place.
Death had made their bodies unite. For the life would not let them meet. But their souls were connected forever. The world never saw the connection…
