Love is the strangest thing that can happen to someone. It's like the sickness that you will love to have. Love sick people are too glad to flaunt their state. And why not, it's the best thing that can happen to someone. There are no criteria no requirements. If you have a young heart, you may fall in love. So, why not make a wish to the cupid and ask him to aim an arrow at you and at the special person who'll help you have a romantic love story of your own.
It was a pleasant summer afternoon. Taani was speeding her bicycle to reach home after tuitions and we all knew why. Yes! She was in love at a tender age of 14 years. A student of 8th and younger of the two daughters in the house, Taani was a pampered child. Rey was his name. He was a senior who visited Taani's neighborhood playground everyday for a baseball game.
This was Taani's only chance to catch a glimpse of her prince charming. Rey knew nothing about Taani and hardly paid a glance to the window opposite the field where Taani stood and watched him fondly. She would dote on Rey and he had no clue about it. Days passed, months flew and Taani couldn't express her love to the man of her life. One day Rey stopped visiting the field. Taani got anxious and wanted to find out where was he.
But she didn't know how to. She took help of her neighbor who also played in the same field and was a friend to Rey. He informed that some of his friends had shifted to a different city and Rey was one of them. Taani was heartbroken. She insisted her family to send her to the same city for higher education without telling the real reason. After innumerable persuasions too her wish did not come true. She resigned to her fate thinking that she will have to forget Rey. Fate however, had different plans. Taani and her family shifted to a bigger city. She continued with her studies but couldn't stop thinking about Rey. Four years had passed and meeting the love of her life was just a dream.
Taani joined the university and made friends but she couldn't deny the emptiness within her that often screamed aloud when she was alone. Taani somehow couldn't lose the hope to meet Rey again and this time, tell him how she felt. One day her neighbor called her telling that he was in the city and was staying at a friend's place. He said that he was staying at Rey's place, who worked in the same city.
Four years of wait and now there was Rey all over again in the same city, tickling the hopes, watering the dried soul that craved for one glance of him. Just one! Taani was too excited to plan how to make Rey know about her feelings or rather take the first step of taking his number. This is where friends help. They urged her to make an excuse and get Rey's contact number. After several attempts this was done. As days passed, Taani would just stare at the contact number but never call him.
Her friends had to now make this love struck lady to call him. They asked her to send him a text message by mistake. The mistake was a deliberate one though, it worked wonders. Rey responded to it and this is how Taani started talking to the love of her life. She met him after a year. Rey had fallen in love with her too not knowing the fact that she had waited long for this dream to come true. After a brief courtship they got married to each other. Taani's wait was worth the effort. Her love had the magic, which enchanted Rey too.
