When
she said, “Come on, dear. He’s going to come today. Get ready.” Well, that was
enough for the girl to jump high in the air and scream and shout. She kept on telling
everybody who came across, “you know, I have seen him once, but I am going to
meet him today, personally”. She was in the seventh heaven. She started
imagining things about him. “How will he look like?”, “Will he even regard me
as his equal?”, or “Am I even fit for him?”, “Will he love me?”, and what not!!
The
destined hour came. He was standing at a far corner waiting for her to touch
him, to monopolize him, to love him and above all, breathe life into him. She
saw him, her body refused to obey, showing signs which were alien for her. They
were near now, near enough to touch each other. Her hands moved involuntarily
towards him, touching him. The sense of touch was enough for both of them to
feel, to feel what their heart ached for, all these days. The magical moment
grew longer and longer, their heartbeats synchronizing with the movement and
the she felt at ease with him forgetting all her fears, prejudices.
They
came, they met and he left, promising that he will return soon to her. She was
still red with excitement. Her mother came in and asked, “What’s the matter,
dear? You look very changed.” She couldn’t hide her thoughts and she blurted
out. Her mother listened patiently, remained uninterrupted and thought about
her child. “How time flies… it is like,
as if, it was yesterday only, she said her first word, it was yesterday only,
she had her maiden walk, it was yesterday only, when she came in crying for her
toy whose head got severed and today, she’s a big girl”, she thought. She
was just a child for her, but her little girl found her true love, rather her “First
love”.
The
bird is ready to fly from the cage, breaking all her protective sheath for her “first
love”.

Well, i am back again after more than a month. "First love" is close to my heart. I just can't say how it is like, when i felt it. Magical, like the wolf imprinting in Twilight series. It was almost the same and remembering it, the same feelings comes in and that's what i have tried to "write" here. "First Love's always the First"....
