Sibgha a Treat For You:
It was a
glorious evening, the sun seeming to
hesitate in the process of setting, as if it couldn’t
bear to end the day. It was teetering on the horizon, throwing ribbons of pink and
mauve across the sky
like life ropes, and the air was sweet with
jasmine. In such attractive environment, I and him were strolling by the side of country road. He bought ice cone for me. I was talking with him while licking the ice cream time to time. Abruptly he asked me, “Naina…………,” he used to call me Naina, because he was in love with my kajaled eyes more than me, “Naina, do you know how love is ‘valued’?” I being
straight forward, didn’t give heed to his question, “What do you mean, it is just in assessable!”. He smiled at my silliness, downed his gaze, then he
said in a very soft tone, as was seeing somewhere else, “the value of love is assessed how a beloved or a lover is devoted, honest and faithful in their love. As much as the
devotion, dedication, honesty and faithfulness is there in love, the love will be as valuable. These qualities are the soul of love. How much the soul is pure the love will
also be pure, without them the love is dead soulless. I was staring at him with blinking, I who never take all these emotions seriously, just understood, I was standing, and how he was higher. “Hey, your Ice cream is melting.” He was shaking my shoulder, I looked at my ice cream, it was melting, so was my
heart.
