The Boy who loved...! by M

Upon hearing a lot of requests about reading a very simple narrative love story, I have decided to write one, which I have seen among one of my friends.

There was a boy who led a simple life, very realistic and no poetic and cinematic feelings. His father was a farmer and his mother a house maker. He had two brothers and all he know was to take responsibility of his family and sleep at night wanting to look at their heart full smiles. He was an omniscient being and also a quick learner. He never felt that the world that he awaited, that could make his parents and brothers smile would be far from them. He received a letter from one among the good universities far from the place of his living. His parent's couldn't read it, not being able to afford to the expensive education, as they have mentioned the fee structure in the joining letter, he tore the letter into pieces weeping internally and burnt them to ashes, which replicated his dreams.

A Girl from the North

Far away from the Place he lived

There was a girl who lived in the north, spreading smiles and joy wherever she goes. One day, she met through a strange vision of dreams that disturbed her living, so she decided to visit the place of her dream. She painted her vision on the Canvas, and searched through the Google Lens, and one image matched her vision on the canvas. It was a place far away from where she lived, so she left a word with her parents and envisaged the possibility of bringing back something more valuable than they already had.  

Back to the Place of the Boy

There was another letter that has come, from the same address but this time the boy went to the library to return some of the books he had been going through for the last few days. As his father received the letter, he took it to one of his friends, whose son was a graduate and visited the place for a holiday. As he read the letter, he felt jealous and conveyed that it was something related to a real estate and the brochure was useless. The father of the boy took it back and kept it hidden in his locker.As the boy returned, he worked with his father to bring back the crop that they have been harvesting and helped him sell them in the market and gained a good amount of money. They came back home and had their dinner and as they were about to sleep, there came someone who knocked the door. As his mother went to attend the knock, it was a girl and her attire conveyed that she didn't belong to the place. She mentioned that she was a visitor of the village and as it was the only light in the village that had been so lately glowing, she thought that she would talk to them. As they heard that she was a visitor, they offered their hospitality for the girl and the boy with his brothers slept on the roof of their building. As it was summer, the cool breeze made him sleep within minutes of their closing eyes.

The Next Day

As the girl was about to leave, the parents of the boy offered her with a cup of tea, prepared from the milk straight from their Dairy. It tasted delicious and as the girl was about to leave, the parents offered her a Saree as a gift from them, as it seemed to be the village's tradition. She smiled and accepted the gift and thanked their hospitality and left the place. As the girl left the place, the boy woke up and came down and had a cup of tea and helped his mother cook the lunch for them, As he helped his mother, she started speaking of a girl who has knocked the door the previous day. He wasn't anxious or curious but loved listening to his mother the most. As she narrated, he heard about her and what they have been speaking about that night. His mother mentioned him that the girl had a vision and that she came to this place searching the vision she had and that she had shown them the painting that she painted on the canvas. It was a Waterfall with trees surrounding it. He knew the place and he also knew that it was dangerous for anyone who doesn't know swimming there could be risking their lives.

The Boy and the Place

His father asked the boy to visit his friend's place which was nearby, to deliver him the cheese which was freshly prepared from the Cow that delivered a Calf. As the boy went to them, the son of his father's friend spoke,

"So, you're the one the whole village speaks about! The one with a lot of love and smiles while talking to people!"

"That is their modesty sir! And I am Gowtham by the way!"

"I am Mr. Veera. A graduate from the college you got a letter from!"

"Sorry sir! I didn't understand what are you saying!"

"Shut up! Okay. I know you got through the entrance and you have received a letter from the college. And I also know that you cannot afford the fee, hence you gave up your chance on it! So, I mentioned your dad that it was a brochure of a real estate venture. He must have burnt it by now."

He silently gave the cheese and headed back home thanking them. So it was another letter from the University. Anyways, I cannot afford it as he rightly said. I should actually thank him for not letting my Dad know that I got selected for a great university, he thought. Suddenly there was a hand on his shoulder. As he saw who it was, he saw his uncle, asking him to assist someone who was speaking something he couldn't understand. As he saw, it was her. The one who took hospitality at his home and the one about whom his mom has been talking about. She saw her smiling at him and mentioned his uncle that he would help her.

The Girl and The Boy

As they started moving towards the place, the girl was asking, the girl's silence made him awkward. As he saw her, she has been observing him and looking at the other canvas she drew. As they headed to the waterfall, the silence broke when someone asked them to get down at the spot. He took her hand and moved as the guy tried to touch the girl. It was one of drunken bastards of the village who teases girls the most. The boy didn't utter a word but as he took her to the waterfall, his hand was holding her all the time. The touch motivated the girl, the most.

It is the boy whom I envisaged in the dream. It was him! She giggled and enthralled in her. The vision seemed strange, it was a rather peculiar one.

"Can you please take a look down?" he spoke

"Wow!"  she said and looked at the waterfall. It was a magnificent view from the top and as she was about to talk to him, he moved back and waited facing away from her. She was moved by his respect and smiled at him, obviously he didn't notice it. She changed her clothes and was trying to ask him to take her below, she saw something moving towards her and she slipped and fell into the waterfall.

The Dream and The Reality

This was my vision, was the only thing she could realize, as she fell into the water. When she opened her eyes, she was in a room, which seemed a bit familiar. It was the room she rested on the day she arrived the village. As she woke up, she was shivering and the warm blanket wasn't warming her up. The boy then, took her hand and asked her mom and his brothers to rub her feet and hands to warm her up and made a fire-place with the fire sticks they had in the house. She was about to speak, the boy took her into his hands, as she fell dizzy and woke up the next day. The girl as soon as she woke up, asked to see the boy. It was all a dream for her. This was her vision. She saw a waterfall and as soon as she saw someone in the dream, she fell through it, but never knew who was the boy. She now realized that it was him. Only vague details like the blue eyes, Dark hair and the touch she could feel in the dream was getting real. It was the moment she realized that it was him, just for him, she came all the way from Dream to Reality. 

"Where is the guy who... who saved me! He took me to the waterfall?"

"He... He is our son!" his mother replied her.

She immediately kissed her and said that she can't thank them enough. She then spoke everything about the dream. The Boy's mother didn't know what to say and explained everything to her husband. As the boy returned from the hospital with doctor, the doctor checked her and gave her medicines and told them that she was alright and she needed rest.

The Letter and the Girl

As she was about to have her medicines as they finished the dinner, the father of the boy spoke to her, mentioning her that they are a poor family and they can't even imagine their life without the boy. He was the most responsible son and he will always be the best. The boy has many dreams of finishing his Post Graduation, but they couldn't afford it. His father also mentions about the planning of a house in the city and shows her the letter that he received from the university as his friend's son mentioned that it was a real estate brochure. All the images that were displayed were of the campus and the hostels the students were to be accommodated in. The girl then hugged the boy's father and took him to the roof top along with all the members of the family and spoke

"Uncle, I really loved the innocence of you. You strongly believed that it was about a house. It is from one of the top 3 universities of India. Your boy had cracked the exam and got into the university, this is an invitation letter from them. He never has mentioned you about this. Why?"

"Because, I don't want to study there. I want to help my dad here. I want to see my parents smile and I love being with my brothers." the boy replied.

"If it is so, what if one of your brothers days the same answer when they get seat in such a prestigious university?"

"That cannot happen. I will send them somehow!"

"Even everyone of your family is with the same opinion. You never mentioned them because they couldn't afford the fee! Am I right?"

"I never wanted to make my parents feel low! Never ever! If that opportunity shows that my parent's are poor, I will never ever take it! Because whatever I am today, is because of them. It is them, who made me happy wherever I may be! This world seems so small when I am with them and this small world is very beautiful for me!"

Everyone hugs the boy and they convinces him to go to the university. He finally accepts on their wish upon her compelling as well. The girl mentions that he was her luck and that her father is one among the professors of the college and she never knew why she had been encountering such strange visions in her dreams. Now that she has finally realized, she took him with her, making him receive a merit scholarship for the score he achieved and he just has to pay an amount of 10,000 per year with accommodation free. He gets confused on listening to this. He then hugs all of them and cries hugging them all, they leave the village with greater dreams and as they leave, he asks her

"Why would the accommodation be free?"

"Because, you're gonna stay with me and soon we will get married I hope!"

"What?! I mean, we just met a day ago!"

"I had a dream... and then I saw you... with those lovely Blue eyes, Dark hair, I loved every vision I had and I even felt the touch real near the waterfall. The moment you gave breathe to me, was the moment I lost my heart for you. Every moment that I live now, is your love for me!"

"But..."

"Don't worry! I  never told that to anyone... Because it's only you whom I love!"

This is the story of the Boy who loved the girl from the very next moment he saw the girl, on the day, his uncle asked him to take her to the place she wanted to. To the mother of coincidence, the girl fell for him the same moment he saw him and realized that it was him whom she was envisaging. The Boy who loved was the Boy who was Loved...! Fate knew that he needed a bit of luck in his life which would push him to the opportunities which he dreamt of! That's why the Fate never let Veera, reveal about the letter to the boy's father. The girl was all he needed! The Girl was the Fate's plan to be destined as desire to the Boy!
The Visions of the girl about the boy were real and she was drawn to find her true love!
And hence, the destiny was planned by Fate with what the Boy deserved the most! His Desire strongly fulfilled. Believe in your destiny and the Strength of your desire would fulfill your wish by All means in the World!


"Fate and Destiny are two fascinating elements that play with us a lot, but finally when we need the one that we Desire for the most, they combine and get us what we need... Just at the Right moment!"

With Love,

M
