A modern day love story, which just struck me and I just could not help myself putting in words for it just gave me such a big big biiiiiiig smile on my face.

SO there lived a princess. In a far-far-far-away-land. Oh oops. That’s a modern story, right? Silly me. Hence, she lived here only. Among us. Who thought she can never fall in love. Why? For the simple reason her parents are going to find for her a prince. And she continued to lead her life in a fairy tale sort of state with lots of friends around. Just like a sparkle everywhere. Cheering everyone up. The apple’s eye of her friends. Who they loved to tease her. For one thing or the other. And she was like. Always smiling, smiling and smiling.

Not that everyone loved the princess. There were few who were intolerant of her. May be jealous. For she had guys lined up for her. Oh again, my mistake. My wrong choice of words. Her friends in guys were like loving her like “just a kiddo”. Just like a baby. Just like a ‘chhoti dibiya’. And did she ever get angry. Rarely so. After all, she is human. But still, anyone could cool her anger or tension or whatever was troubling her. And turn the story back into a happy happy, super happy fairytale.

So that was how it continued. Years after years. And she flew from school to college to next college. Away and away from home. With caring people all around. With the charm to always have people just there for her. But till now, just as a friend.
Oh, but that’s a love story, no? And till now, it’s just a character sketch of her. But then, how can a love story be there without the princess being all too pretty. The girl to walk on the ramp. But still so simple. And sweet too. Anyway, to come back to the main plot and to do away with these interruptions of author’s commentary all the while.

Ok. So this princess got a job. Hey, that’s a modern story. Everyone needs to work for inflation going so high :P OK ok, enough of this tit-bits of in between. So. A new city. A new place. New people. All around. New experiences. And she got these two new amazingly awesome friends. But one already has a girl friend. So let’s leave him for this story. It’s just a story of two people. He and she.

And she met him. And our princess was just so gorgeous. Who could have resisted her. And he fell prey to her. Her simplicity. Her tinge of childishness still left in her while still being so grown up. Her state of vulnerability at times when she could not cope with too much big people kinda stuff going around her. And he was deep. Deep in love with her. And she was like. As usual, confused. But let’s not talk about all this confusion state and how the situation was turning more and more into his favor. Let’s jump to the final day I want to talk about here. And ya, one thing I missed out. Now, both of them are working in separate cities.

He was talking to her on the mobile all the while when he came to meet her. So soon. Within a fortnight of separation. Loves grows more fonder by distance naa. And his flight landed. And he was so so engrossed on call with her or was so super-excited that he actually. Matlab actually forgot to pick up his luggage. Oopsie. Ekdum total jaisa filmo mei hota hai. Big screen. Movie theatre. Heroine waiting outside the airport just for the special surprise for him. Her heart leaping in big big bounces just at the first glance of him at the airport. And hiding again behind a pillar to give him the best-est surprise possible. And the hero going back the airport bewildered. Coming back up again. Still on call with her. Booking up the cab.

And poof. He vanished. She kept on searching for him where he went. Oh, he was just behind this pillar. In the line of sight of her. Where could he go? Totally disorientated, she asked him where he exactly was. And guess what, he had already driven away from airport. Such a laughable situation. However can love see it like that? Of course, not. Finally she had to reveal her the big secret. And lo and behold he turned his taxi back. And there he was. All in full form. Physical form. And the way he pulled her into his arms. The carefree hug. That was all that was left to make her realize that oh, this is the guy. And she wants him. And for this prince of hers, she is finally going to talk to her family, which she never assumed was even a far-far-away possibility for her.

And that’s how things just felt back into place. The princess leaving such a carefree life of not taking care of herself, actually metamorphosed herself into an amazingly beautiful persona just to meet his parents. And he came to pick her up and was so very amazed to see her all ready. Just for him. And the evening was great. Incredibly spent. His father instantly taking a liking to our princess. And his mother too opening up little by little to see her son finally going to get the right girl for him.

All that is left is her parents approval. But then, if things have been so smooth like this, it will progress like this further along, right? All that is needed on her side is luck and lots of courage. And that she is definitely going to show. After all that’s what love is all about – changing people, challenging people, to do anything for the person they love!
