What Is Love...Part 1

We all fall in love. Some girls fall for the cute and notoriously famous school delinquent guy, while all most all the guys drool over the cute and sexy chick in college. Love has no boundaries, as it does not care for religion, caste, and race…after all it just happens without any prior notice. It remains innocent as long as we can hear the tingling ring of the bell at the back of our head whenever we catch the glimpse of our imaginary love. As we grow, our love complicates and eventually, it complicates our life.  Almost all of us find to be part with our first love, which is a very troubling, hard and suffering process. First love always bring the best feelings in us. They are like the first rain in the year, fresh and enlightening. 

When a girl named Flora first fell in love…it was like a bang from nowhere. There was this guy, who was standing in her school hallway and one of her friends was talking to him (actually he was asking her something, which she couldn’t really remember through the years). He was smiling and gently gesturing towards her. She heard the ring at the back of her head and at the very instant her ears were numb, and she was dumbstruck, she could not even understand what was happening. It was like the air stood still…She didn’t even notice that some of her male classmates were calling her names-”Pokémon” (and also harry potter. However, that time they missed that...I think). It was simply magical. It’s not like that he was the most handsome guy in school, but there was definitely something about him, which transpired her into numbness, where she could only sense him, herself and unfortunately her friend.  

There was a time, when her ears used to get red even with a slight glimpse of his hand, or shirt, or voice. That was a magical era for her. Time never used to pass and she kept day dreaming about them together. 

He often used to wear black shirts, which he looked extremely good in. Within a few weeks, all of her girlfriends knew the fact that she has a crush on him. But soon she got to know that he loves somebody else and that he also got dumped by that mystery girl. She was very sure that she would be rejected and never dared to express her feelings. In fact she was happy the way things were going…slowly and steady. He used to give chocolates to her female friends in his class and whenever she paid a visit to them at recess, he always approached her with candies…he was a true gentleman…I must say. She kept the chocolate and candy wrappers inside a book and never forgot to look upon them once every day. The romance between her and her imagination kept growing. In the meantime, she also had numerous crushes over other guys. She used to celebrate the birthdays of her favorite boy bands, which almost every girl does in their teenage. To her love was something beyond senses. She even started to provide love solutions to her friends. However, it was her best friend’s love affair which made her a bit sad, as she was now left alone. However, she did not have the courage to express her feelings on her own. Many boys of her class never even imagined her to be one of those normal girls who would fall for someone during their teenage. However, something miraculous happened...and at last she knew how it feels to be in a relationship.

Flora, a simple, a bit crazy, bookish and imaginative girl fell for the most aloof guy in her class (separate section). While having crush on him, she also came across numerous other guys, who were successful in sweeping her off her feet. Love is very complicated. It has many forms, and many names and they all remain in your small and tiny heart all at the same time…forever.
