7 year old chandhni ran after 7 year old dev but he was too fast for her. she couldn't catch him. she stopped and lied down on the floor. Dev jogged back to her and asked what happened?
Chandhni you are too fast I can't play this game anymore. My legs hurt at night. Dev lied down next to her. want to fly a kite?
Chandhni happily said yes and got up.
A 12 year old dev angrily stormed into chandhni room. ''why didnt you come to the school trip? I had to spent whole day without you.''
Chandhni looked niserably at him. ''It hurts dev. I got periods. I hate being a girl.'' Dev's anger deflated.
''Oh.Is it too painful? I will make herbal tea for you. dad makes it for mom.'' He went to his home to try his first attempt at making tea.
A 15 year old chandhni held dev's hand as they walked side by side at school. Dev handed her the ice cream cone. Dev took a bite and gave it back to him. greedy dev murmured to her.
A 19 year old chandhni tried to get away from Dev but he managed to pull her in corridor to steal another kiss.
Dev,'' just one kiss.''
Chandhni, '' class will start in 5 minutes and you always say one kiss but...''
His lips swallowed rest of her words. They missed the whole class.
A 23 year old chandhni was quickly getting ready for her engagement with dev. she hid her blush and just kept a straight face as beautician tried to hide the love bite near her collarbone.
After make up was done. she left for the hall with her mother and waited for dev to arrive. He never did.
The car stopped in front of mandi and chandhni got off. Her legs felt weak. It's been four years but she finally found him or she hoped so. She went up the stairs and looked around. There was a tree in corner under which a man sat. He was wrong orange colour robes which were patched at different places. He had a fully grown beard and his hairs were shoulder length. They were matted with dirt. She slowly walked to him and sat down in front of him.
Who is it? the man asked.
Chandhni looked into his open eyes which stared passed her. A tear rolled down her cheek. He could not see. she just sat there crying until a hand came and touched her head. Chandhni he whispered.
Dev she cried brokenly. He tried to pull his hand back but she grabbed it and kissed it. She didn't minded he was dirty. he was dev and that was enough. She held his hand close to her heart. She will never leave him.
P.s. I originally wrote this for another couple.
