The stranger in Shimla-Short story

"Love is a feeling.To feel love you don't need to fall in love,you just have to think about falling in love.When i think of love,the first thing which comes into my mind is the stranger whom i met in Shimla.
That was a cold evening.Walking through the snow made me cool.But that stranger was getting irritated.I went to him".
"Why are you getting irritated?Snow is so beautiful.Shimla's beauty is snowfall.It is pure white like love",I said.
"His reaction was unexpected".
"White like love?Love is black.Devil's colour.Being in love is devil's game".

"I felt pity for him.Because his misconception about love made me crazy".
"No,you are wrong.Love is white..Angel's colour.Being in love is so nice",i replied.
"Being in love is horrible.I also loved a girl sincerely.But she ditched me when i became pennyless.I hate being in love.I don't trust lovers",he said.

"His eyes were full of pain.I felt his pain.The blood which flowed from his torn heart entered my heart.It was so painful.But i realised that i have fallen for him.That is why his pain became my pain.I confessed my love to him as i don't believe in prolonging to join your lover".

"I feel the beauty of love.Love makes your face shine.Look at my face.My face glows because i have fallen in love with you",i confessed my love to him.
"He was shocked.He bursted out".
"Are you mad?You saw me only a few minutes back.Then how did you fall in love with me?"
"You don't need hours,days,months or years to fall in love.Love happens in a moment",I repied.
"Rubbish".
"He was trembling.He did'nt digest my confession of love.He tilted his head to a side and walked forward ignoring me.I felt the pain of negligence.It is so strange that i have fallen in love so fast with a stranger.
Walking through the snow was very difficult.His legs slipped.He fell down in a pathetic way.He was rolling down.My heart beat very hard.My tears were very hot.It rolled down.But he did not see it.I extended my hand to him.But his attitude was cold"
"Hold my hands tight",i told him.
"Let me be in danger.But i will not touch you",he was stubborn.
"Don't be insane now.You use your sense now.I love you and i want to save you.Because i want you to be with me for the rest of the life.Snow will cover you.It is dangerous.",i could not control my tongue.
"His ears could not believe what i said.I felt that his eyes were sparkling as he realised how much my heart long for him.
He must have hesitated to hold my hand.But when he caught my hand i felt relieved.I was holding his hand.But when he caught my hand for the first time i felt secure for the first time.That is the magic of love.I pulled him towards me.We both fell down miserably.For some time we were unconscious.We did not know what happened later.But when we opened our eyes we realised that our arms were not separated from each other.We were sticking together through out.That moment he realised the strength of my love.He felt that his heart is longing to touch my heart.His anger melted like snow.His wet lips began to smile for me.He held me in his arms.I felt so calm and nice.That was the most beautiful moment of my life.
The stranger whom i met in Shimla is no longer a stranger for me.He is my husband who shares happiness and sorrows with me".
