And in life moving from childhood to youth, it is not known when someone will fall in love. Something similar happened to me when I was entering my 15th year with a girl from our colony who studied in some other school but we both were in the same class. As soon as I saw her, my mind got attracted, she used to come and go to our house too, and whenever I used to meet her, I used to get some different feelings inside me. My mother and her mother were very good friends. And parents in those days were very strict disciplinarians.
And for this reason, it was an impossible task for us children to express our feelings openly in those days. Whenever I used to meet that girl, I used to find some excuse or the other to talk to her, and I also felt that she also loved me deeply, but due to strict taboos and fear of parents, we both were never able to express our feelings of love and but yet we were happy to see each other.
Then a very good coincidence happened and in my elder sister's marriage that girl came to stay at our house for 2 days, we both came closer by living together and helping each other in marriage preparations, we got a lot of opportunities to talk to each other and know each other.
Some friends of my elder brother were also invited on the wedding day and my girlfriend was looking very pretty in a very beautiful dress that day. Then a friend of my elder brother made some lewd comment about my girlfriend and on hearing this I fought with him and made him understand that she is my girlfriend, and I will not tolerate any misbehaviour with her.
Someone went and told all this, my girlfriend. After that whenever she met me, she was looking at me with a different look but she did not say anything from her mouth. And after marriage, she went to her home, and after that, I did not feel at home at all and I became very sad.
After 3-4 days I reached her house on the pretext of giving her a book and in that book I had put an "I love you" written note. Gave him the book and stayed there for some time and I came back to my house and kept wondering whether she read the note or not, but no response came.
-----xx-----xx-
Then in those days, my father got transferred to another city and I also had to go with him to the same city, reaching there I used to miss her a lot but there were no facilities to talk of any kind in those days.
We didn't even have access to a landline phone, and just like that 6-7 years passed and I was married off to another girl very quickly for some reason. The matter became very old, I have not had any contact with that girlfriend, nor did I know where she is, or in what condition.
Then after about 15 years of my marriage, I got a chance to visit that same city again and met the brother of that girl, and slowly started talking about that girl and asked her where she is, what she does, her marriage happened or not, if it happened when did it happen.
Her brother told me that after we moved to another city, she studied a lot and whenever she talked about marriage, she used to deny that I don't want to marry. Then she obtained her doctorate degree in Botany and she became the Chief Professor of Botany at the University of our city.
3 years ago, we got her married after very much requests to her, to an officer.
And nowadays she lives in this city after buying her own house. Listening to all these many strange thoughts started coming to my heart, and I started thinking why she didn't get married for so many days, whether she had been waiting for me, thinking all this made me very sad, and my heart started beating badly in anxiety. In the end, I decided that I would definitely meet her and ask her clearly about all things.

Thinking this, I reached her house with great courage, rang the doorbell and started waiting, then she herself came to open the door and she was shocked to see me, many colours changed in her eyes. Then he slowly took my name and asked me where had gone for so many years, and I also felt slight moisture in the corners of his eyes. I was also getting very emotional seeing her in front of me, but then both of us pulled ourselves together.
She took me to her drawing room and we both started talking about ourselves, then I dared to ask why you didn't reply to my "I love you". She said with a sigh that someone had put this illusion in her mind that she used to love the girl living next to my house and this book was also of her. In fact, another boy of my name was in love with a girl from the same colony who lived in the house next to my girlfriend's house. And this thing also became very famous. My friend thought that this discussion was about me only, and this misunderstanding changed the lives of both of us. Then she said when her misconception was cleared, she waited for me for 20 years and did not marry.
I lied to her that I tried a lot to meet her before my marriage and tried to know a lot about her but no one told me anything and got married after being disappointed. Because I did not expect that she would not marry our childhood love so seriously for 20 years.
so Just 2-3 years ago, she got married by bowing down to the insistence of her family members. She also told me that her husband is a very big officer and loves her a lot, now you please go from here and don’t come again here .
After hearing all this, tears started coming out of my eyes and she also started crying, She came out of her house to goodbye to me, and then I too went back to my house from her house with a heavy heart.
THE END or BEGNING
