It Just Happened - 1
The first day at school,
love, at first sight, you might say, they knew deep inside what it was.
life went well, joy-filled.
so serene it seemed...
so inseparable they were, two bodies but one soul
till one day, life had something in store for them...

"What the... you look like shit Hameed," I told him, shaking his shoulders vigorously.
"Long story," he said as we walked towards a shop.
On seeing him the shopkeeper pulled out a pack of Marlboro and tossed it. He pulled out one from the pack looking at me.
I hurled the lighter at him. It hit his head as he stood there motionless.
"Kya hua bhai," the shopkeeper asked him laughing.
It was our usual smoking joint, where once a horde would sit together emptying packets after packets. Now it was just us left.
He picked up the lighter and lit his cigarette without a bit of reaction.
"Let's grab a seat", I said pulling out another from his pack, it was my fourth cigarette from past half an hour.
"What's going on?" I asked as I looked at him. His eyes were a window to the storm that his soul was dealing with.
"Who is that girl?" I asked him laughing.
"Asra" he replied.
Tears rolled down his eyes as he sat there smoking quietly.
One might tend to forget the number of people they've been with but never the first love. Though time passes by, the treasured memories seldom leave the mind.
Feelings, fate's favorite past time. It is something that always ends up getting played with. There is always a heartbreaking story behind every happy face.
It would have been better if we would've been warned at birth. When a child comes out of a mother's womb the first thing told should've been, "Welcome to hell, soon you will fall in love and die each day."
Love is a beautiful term which holds many meanings within itself. People fall in love knowing the consequences and live with false hopes.
Not everyone who falls in love gets the person, not everyone who gets the person they love is able to spend their life together. Sometimes things are worse than one can even ponder.
"Asra" she was his world, his first love. Their meeting was not something that would stand out but their love sure was.
