First Love

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"....
