This
story goes back to the age of 17. A young fellow with passion
in his heart; the whole world is beautiful in his eyes.
And it was my first teenage affair.
Saleha
and I secretly fell in love. She was two years younger than
me and she used to be the best friend of my sister. They
were living half a mile away from our house. We secretly
fell in love. It happened all on a sudden. Our relationship
lasted over 3 years until the secret disbursed. It seems
things did not work out for us as we expected.
15
years later, I am married and leading a happy and peaceful
life. But still I cant forget those beautiful moments
that I passed with her. When I think about those days and
it gives me a different feelings. It still seems like yesterday.
I used wait for her on the corner of the road just to see
her passing by from the school. Showing her signs of love.
As we came to know each other more closely, we managed to
go to the park and relaxed under the shade of the trees,
hands tight together and eyes were stuck on each others
face. I wish I could go back to those lunch and dinner that
we had in the cozy Chinese restaurant. Spending minutes
just looking at each other. Than her beautiful touch in
my lips was amazing and it was like a dream. And all those
poems and notes, I wonder where are they now.
I think, Saleha is now living somewhere in USA, married
to an engineer. I wish her all the happiness.
Well, that was my first teenage love, my good memories.
Just good old days.
