Madhuri

Love is in the air

The next day was as if the sky was pink filled with lots and lots of love.
It was time and all the friends gathered in the garden . Everyone was waiting for Madhuri and Salim but they were nowhere to be seen.

" Madhuri please stay."
" No , we have to go, our friends must be waiting for us."
" But we just met."
" So?"
" Don't you think we must spend some time together?"
" We already are doing that ."
" We just met Madhu. They all can wait and even if we don't go , they won't mind."
" How do you know, I don't want them to be suspicious about us . Let's go ."
" Madhuri come on." He held her wrist. She tried to free herself but he was too strong for her.
" Salim! Someone can come! Go go."
" I am not leaving until you agree."
" Salim. "
She looked at him with anger.
" Fine . But I want to spend time with you.
People who love each other spend time with each other." Salim said.
" I know but ." She was more worried about him, if something happens again and his father does something then ?.
" You really want to go?"
" Yes"
" Can you go without your dupatta?"
Just as he said this, he snatched his dupatta from her and started running.
" Salim! Come back. "
" Take it yourself."
" Salim! I want that back right now."
He kept on running and she kept on chasing him as fast as she could.
He brought her to his favourite place, the terrace and sat on the swing waiting for her.

" Salim! God !" She came huffing.
" Come sit here with me ."
She did as he said. As she had a seat, he gave back her dupatta.
" Salim you are really very mischievous."
" I know!"
" Look at that sunset. It's so beautiful, just like you."
She blushed and placed her head on his shoulder.
" Sunsets will always remind me of you Madhu"
" I wish we could stay like this forever."
" Lets do it then ." Salim said.
" How?"
" Lets make a promise."
" What?"
" When we will get older, we will get married and be together forever."
She smiled and said,
" I would love to! I promise."

As time passed by they witnessed a beautiful sunset together.
" Isn't getting dark , I should go."
" I can't stop you now, can I ?"
" No you can't."
" Fine , meet me tomorrow."
" Yes!"
When she left , Salim muttered to himself,
" God I Miss her already."
He was madly in love with her and so was she. He could never fall in love with someone who is not her .
He was sitting alone at the swing thinking about her  when his mother arrived.

" Son?"
" Mother, you here , any problem?" He got up as soon as he heard her.
" No , I just came to see you ."
" Why , what happened?"
" Nothing just wanted to talk to you."
" Okay."
" I heard about your dancing incident from your father."
" Are you pissed off too? I swear I was just playing nothing serious."
" I know son, I don't mind it. It's Madhuri isn't she?"
He was stunned for a while .
" It's okay Salim, I get it by looking at your red face."
" Mom"
" Salim , it's okay you are young and spontaneous. At this age it's normal . And to mention, I like her."
" You do?" He was overjoyed.
" Of course ."
" Thank you so much mother."
" But please be careful. You know your father right?"
" Yes."
" One more mistake and he might take a drastic step."
" Yes."
" Come let's go."
" Sure."
