an unconditional love

    

Roses, cards, gifts, chocolates & teddy bears- the most demanded things to express their emotions in front of their lovers and especially on Valentines Day. Though, it is believed that love has its own language. These are not the only things that can express their love for someone still these things are in the air.

            People walking on the side of the street with their beloved with their hands locked with each other, some giving roses & gifts, some sitting in the parks- hugging each other to make them feel special and sharing their heart saddest tales. On the streets from everywhere to everywhere there are stalls of flowers, cards & soft toys. This atmosphere can be seen only on the Valentine’s Day- the day for lovers & the day for shopkeepers too.

           Within the crowd of lovers, there was a couple- Ashish and Pooja- the teenagers. They have their own definition of love and that was purely an unconditional love. On this Valentine Eve, Ashish planned a beautiful date for his girlfriend Pooja. The couple walking on the red carpet with their hands locked with each other – beautifully dressed with a beaming smile. Ashish dressed in a formal black coat & trousers and Pooja walking next to him wearing beautiful red dress with a lovely bouquet in her hands. She was pleased by seeing this surprise, the lights and decorations. The white & red balloons added a cherry in the basket of their happiness. Both of them, sitting on the decorated table – having a candle light dinner with background music. After enjoying their date, they were ready to leave. While they were going, Ashish went to a shop to buy a gift for her and Pooja was waiting outside. While he was coming back, suddenly a truck hit Pooja, crushed her right leg and went away. He came running and took Pooja in his arms. He had not been able to express his happiness completely which soon got converted into sacredness. He could not accept the fact that now she lost her leg. Despite of this horrible incident, his love for Pooja has not changed. Now Ashish and her wheelchair was the only support in Pooja’s life. After some years they got married and promised to spend their whole life with each other and their journey continues.

Suddenly one day……

   The first ray of the sun wakes her up as soon as Ashish pulls the curtain from the window. Pooja woke up with a lovely smile on her face as if it would be a special day for her. And, her happiness doubles when she saw her husband Ashish with a cup of tea and breakfast prepared for her and after seeing a small gift in front of her. Excitingly, she opened the gift and that was the diamond ring. She was glad to see the care and affection of her husband towards her. After having breakfast, Ashish told Pooja that today he had a beautiful surprise for her and at evening they will go out. After listening this Pooja became excited as she is fond of surprises & finally the most awaited moment came. Ashish -well dressed in a formal coat and trousers, holding a stick to balance himself and the other hand holding the wheelchair in which her wife Pooja was sitting- beautifully dressed in black and red salwar suit with her silver locks falling on her wrinkled face. The couple walking on the red carpet went to their table beautifully decorated with bunch of flowers, petals of roses spread on the table and that was again the same candle light dinner. The lights, decorations, music & red and white balloons remind her of those days which was lovely as well as the horrible chapter of her life. Still she is glad to have a true soul-mate like Ashish. Ashish is the best gift that she could ever get. The couple sitting on the chair, looking into each other’s eyes as if they are the only one present in this world and in fact they don’t want to see anything else. Ashish once again proposed her by sitting on his knees and said the 3 magical words. Ashish believe that gifts and flowers are not the only way to express their love. In fact, their care and affection towards their lovers is the best way to express their emotions. They proved that true love still exists. They proved their own definition of love that love has no boundaries, no age. Their love is same whether they are 16 or 60…….. !!!!
