MINE ONLY

Chapter 25. What is Love 🍁

Isabella

Next morning came early, i stayed in my room they didnt came to bother me either, so done search on various sites give various different answers, but i cant find any site giving me satisfactory answer, is it that difficult?,  these many variety of information and the more time i read it the more i am gettng confused and irritated. I switched off the tab, and decided to go out,may be a walk will refresh my mind.

I dont wanted to disturb nathan and liam ofcourse, so went out through the backdoors which led me towards the barn, yup i strolled towards where little beetroot was getting her tummy filled, she was too cute. i saw a old lady maybe around grandma's age was stackng the hay, so i went towards her, and sat on the hay stack, she smiled and i reciprocated. Meanwhile a old age man entered the barn, he was older than this lady, wearing a cowboy hat and pants and shirt, the lady smiled towards the oldman, he went towards her and kissed her lovingly.

"Pam, had your breakfast?" he asked her, while helping her in her work.

"Hmm-mmh yes Darlin, what about you have you?" he gave her a nod

"Go seat i get it done" he said she smiled and went towards beetroot, and seperated her from her mother and tied her away, and placed some fodder for Mamma-cow.

"I told you go and take some rest darlin" the old man sternly commanded, she giggled and said

"Ohh is it an order?" she teased him, he pinched her cheeks and said yes, and pushed her go.
she came and sat next to me. he resumed his work again, but she was watching him adoringly, and she even forget that i am seating next to her. She came out of her trance and smiled at me.

"How many years? i asked

"Ohh its been 50, we have been married since 50 years. I was around your age when i met him, but i never connected to him instantly"

"Is it love or arrange:?" i asked i dont know why asked but i wanted to understand, she smiled and looked towards his husband, who was cleaning the sattered hay on floor.

"Is it matter?, Arrange or Love, the thing which matters is atlast you both find each other, in one you find Love before and in other you find Love after. In our case it was after, our parents were close friends, but even then i never had ever seen him that way, he was always a rude and commanding jerk back then" on this we both laughed she continued

" O and i remember when my parents decided to marry me to him, i rebelled and went on hunger strike, because first thing i never known this person whom am going to marry, even though we were neighbours, but being 5 years older than me he use to play with his friends, and never ever we crossed our paths, but my mother intervened and tried so many ways to make me understand, but i stood my grounds and never yield.

Then one day he himself came to meet me, at my place, he took me to a nearby river in the village,so that no one can disturb us and said
" Dear Pam, i know you are afraid of going further with this marriage proposal, i would have done the same if i were you, but on one point of life you have to marry someone, am not saying that you are weak, no i never find womans weak rather they are more stronger than any man, but marriage is not all about expanding your family, its about having that certain someone in your life who will stood beside you in all your ups and downs, when you feel out of the place he will bring you together, he will help you stood strong and hold you in place when you cant have faith in you. If you dont want to marry me its okay, but in future marry someone,which you feel deem worthy of your companion, take this as friendly advice" these were his words, for which i fall for and after a month of meeting each other like 1 month courting period. I decided--"

"That am deem worthy of her, and she said yes" the old man came and completed her sentence she giggled, followed by my snickers.

"Grandpa, can i ask you something?" he looked at me and smiling he said yes

"WHAT IS LOVE?" this is what i was searching on the internet site this whole morning, and failed to understand, he and the lady exchanged a look and he said

" Love , there is no specific defination for it, some say its a chemical mishap, which makes your heart and Mind rivals" We laughed at it " but eventually mind scumm to defeat and follows the heart, some say its a beautiful thing to fall in Love it makes you strong more confident to face the world, you cross all the hurdles to achieve what your loved one desires"

"Meaning?"

"I would give you an example, if you love someone, and that love of yours desires something not from you but desires some thing in life, then your own soul will make you gain it for him. Love cant be defined little one, to understand Love One must fall in it, and feel the depts of it..." he smiled and they both went away living me with my own thoughts. 

I walked back to house, and heard liam and nathan laughing , they were playing their video games, i went and sat on the oppposite sofa, the old Grandpa's words about Love were in loop echoeing over and over again, ('To understand Love one must Fall in love'), i stared at liam he was smiling, and jumping like kid, while playing v-game. His smile was contagious, and my heart beat accelerated i stared at him foolishly like he is an icecream van. As if he noticed my stare on him, his eyes met mine and am DEAD!!!
