Love at first sight

“I am telling you she was beautiful and I think I am in love with her.”

“But you only saw her for a split second besides she was all clad in leathers driving a Pulsar.”

“But I saw her eyes as she turned and looked at me. And that was the moment I knew I am in love with her.”

“You  can’t be serious. Anyways you have always been mad. Now you think you are mad in love.”

That is Raghav, our hero of the story. Raghav has always been into studies and never even had a crush and he thinks he has fallen in love now.

Two days later……..

“I met her. I met her. I saw her yesterday in an acquaintance’s wedding and she came to me and apologized for speeding past me that day. She is beautiful. She is an angel and from the leather clad biker girl that day, she had turned into a traditional Indian girl in a suit. And I have fallen in love with her. Her name is Riddhima and I took her Facebook id. I have already added her.”

“Dude how did you identify her. You had only seen her eyes.”

“And I knew it was her exactly when I looked into her eyes. And then she just kept coming to me.”

“You have gone crazy.”

Two months later……..

“The next time we will not be meeting in a mall.”

“No problems Ridhi, we would go somewhere else.”

“Why do you act so nervous around me? I mean you are a chicken. Quack quack quack.”

“I am not a chicken as you always call me. I can do things which even you can’t miss rough and tough.”

“Like?”

“Like I can take my shirt off in front of you.”

“Even I can take off my shirt in front of myself and besides you have copied it from the movie Hum Dil de chuke sanam. I have seen it five times. You were way better on Facebook. All your originality and wit goes god knows where in real life.”

An hour later………

“You need to tell her that you love her. You are so much in love and I know you will die the day you don’t get to talk to her.”

“But I need to impress her before telling her that. She thinks of me as a chicken right now and as a guy who gets nervous around a girl.”

“Then why don’t you take her on a bike ride? You first saw her riding a bike only. She may like that. Take my bike.”

“Good idea. I will fix that up for tomorrow.”

The next day…….

“So do you always ride that slow? We are going below forty. Quack Quack Quack.”

“I am not a chicken and you will see that.”

“What are you doing Raghav? Eighty? I think you cant handle that. Quack Quack Quack.”

“Oh oh. Raghav now I am really impressed and I am getting really scared. Please slow down a bit.”

“No this is about my self respect.”

“Then if we die, the last thing I want you to know is that I love you.”

“What? I didn’t hear it. Did you say you love me?”

Ending one

And Ragahv said that he loved her too and they lived happily ever after.

Ending Two

And they got hit by truck.

In the accident, Riddhima died and Raghav went mad. He didn’t go insane because he lost the one he loved because living without her would have been his punishment for killing her, but he went insane because he he couldn’t reply back that he loved her too.

So which ending did you like the most?

Aren’t sad endings more dramatic?

Or the love stories should always have a happy ending unlike all the great love stories?

Imagine Jamie surviving the cancer in a walk to remember.

Or Romeo and Juliet living happily ever after.

Would have they been counted as great love stories?

Then if we like happy endings, why are stories with a sad ending so successful?

Among all these confusion, looking for the way out of reality……….
