MUSKAAN

🍃Muskaan-A Short Love Story🌼

What i was told by films and novels, "Every story is bound to have a happy ending and if it isn't, then my son, the story isn't over yet". But this story had something else to say. This story never had its ending, neither the characters of this story- Ishaan and Muskaan accepted its ending. But somehow it got lost.. it got lost within the burden of our society, culture, religion and unwanted barriers of our life and reality...

The story begins as a notification popped out on Ishaan's phone,
Ishaan was a well known writer and like any other day he had a text from a admirer of his writing,
named Muskaan.

[DAY 1, 12:35am]

Muskaan: Hey there!
Ishaan: Hello!
Muskaan: Let me say you, I am a big admirer of your works.
Ishaan: Thank you!☺
Muskaan: Actually i am having some issues downloading your latest work, can you send me the link?
Ishaan: Sure.

It was more or less a casual chat but Ishaan didn't knew this was the beginning..
a beginning of a cyclonic change in his life..

[10DAYS LATER, TIME:12:12AM]

Yet again notification pops out on Ishaan's Phone on the name of Muskaan.

Muskaan: Hey man, i read your story..I loved it totally!
Ishaan: Thank you!

Muskaan no matter what, she just loves to talk, loves to interact with people.. Ishaan was precisely a less talkative, calm and an introvert guy.

[10 MINS LATER, TIME 12:22AM]

Muskaan: I didn't knew a writer isn't allowed to smile.
Ishaan: Sorry?
Muskaan: Why don't you smile in any of your pictures?
You should try smiling once.

Muskaan was someone who keeps on smiling all the time without even having any reason to do so. She is lovely, she is jovial, she is full of life.
Ishaan was exactly her opposite.

But then comes the turning point...

Ishaan uploads a picture where he was smiling.
Oh yes! He was smiling.
There was something in Muskaan's request that Ishaan couldn't ignored her.

6days passed,
Meanwhile Ishaan was waiting eagerly to know the response from Muskaan.
Oh yes! The bond between them started breathing..
But Muskaan didn't text him.
Ishaan for the first time felt urge to talk to Muskaan.
Ishaan who had so many admirers but he has some strong feelings for Muskaan.. that too in just few interactions with her..
May be Ishaan was a writer and that is why he could easily recognised that true soul among the crowd.. true smile among this imitating world.

"Her smile.. Her laughter..
Was a beginning of a new chapter.."

Ishaan decides to text her.

Ishaan: Hey, How are you?
Muskaan: Is this Ishaan?
Ishaan: Sorry?
Muskaan: I was actually not expecting you to text me.
Ishaan: Hmm.. You didn't replied to my picture.
Muskaan: And why do you want my reply for your picture?
Ishaan: I tried to smile for the first time.
Muskaan: Hmm.. Ishaan.. Why don't you smile?
Ishaan: I thought i look bad while smiling.
Muskaan: Ishaan no one ever look bad while smiling.
Ishaan: Hmm..
