“I love her” is all Solva have in words, Solva and Cute, were more than friends but never uttered their love, for each feared that their friendship would be lost. Cute who is the best part of Solva’s life, Solva moulds with all the bad habits and bad company but his heart was pure without hatred and foes and that quality have attracted everyone, and he always parted his smiles even in his greatest pain, Solva have always hidden his sorrows and pain in his smiles, and his love was impossible to be expressed in words.
At first Solva thought it was his infatuations, but as time passed it was not an infatuation but his love for Cute. Cute who too loved Solva from her teenage years, but always feared that he would probably be in love with someone, since she was completely on the dark side regarding his love. Solva always said that he is completely clean like Cute and also agreed that he is being touched by his sins, but Cute found it hard to believe since their were many beautiful girls who were in love with him, but Solva always said and answered their proposal with, ‘it is easy to love someone but to love someone till eternity, that is the task, and solva is one of that task’ and gave his best company to Cute. Cute was so blind in Solva’s love and Solva with the same opinion. Solva was so sure that if Cute loved him she would surely reveal her love to him, but she did not and Solva thought that she did not love him, since he was a sinner man, and she was the best with a clean character, and he was the only male friend of Cute, they always hid their love for each other and always gave their best smiles and the greatest encouragement. Now they were in the final year of graduation, and almost two sessions of a men’s life passed, and their love grew thicker than the woods. Solva and Cute’s love was the greatest pain for both of them, they were so deeply in love with each other but were not ready to confess their love, and lost their friendship. And finally Cute walked her path towards the journey of life.
She decided to make her love a legend and wished to be a Nun, where she would restore her love alive. After graduation Solva and Cute met for the last time at their childhood spot near the hills, Cute said, “ Solva now I wish to be a nun and conquer happiness with my deeds”. Solva was worthless and with the best grimace said, hey you have missed one thing in your life, Love, Promise me Cute you will always be with me, will you? Cute smiled and said “I will” Solva lastly said, ‘you always wanted to know my Girl friends name, let me tell you my girl friends name starts with your name and ends with my name’, Cute said, thank you and requested with a smile, ‘Solva ask me a wish and I will grant it’, Solva said, ‘I will one day on my grave, and you have to fulfill it, with your heart and soul’. Cute did not understand, and they were separated.
Nearly after three years later, Cute returned to her home, she was now a complete Nun, her parents were happy, their only child had followed the path of Christ. Cute inquired about Solva and their Parents said, ‘in the hills, your childhood place,’ and handing her an envelope said, read it when you find Solva, go my child “first pay him a visit”. Cute was very happy and when she reached their, she saw a beautiful small garden, she did not find Solva, and so she decided and entered the garden. She saw beautiful lily flowers covering a triangle stone, she was surprised and thought in her heart, things have changed a lot. After waiting for nearly half an hour, suddenly she was reminded of the envelope and she was so eager to read it and finally she opened the envelope. It was a black paper written with white ink:
“To Cute! Solva’s Sun have set in the clouds of fear and Friendship, so true the dreams when dreamed in deep innocent sleep, so real the thoughts poured from the “Heavenly Stairs” to a sinner, Solva woke from the sleep by Cute, so sweet memories shared and all new started for tomorrow’s day, but never uttered the Swain words, for friendship higher than high than else! Solva never changed nor his love, but with a question to “thee”:- would it be like the wonders of the world! Or, would it be like the untold stories! Or would it be like the unsolved mysteries! Or would it be like rags every corner! Or would it be within ‘earth and sky’! Or what would it be? Solva’s love page remains unturned. And now Solva have decided to make his love a legend, and Solva is waiting for Cute on the mid way of “HEAVEN” and returning back to Solva’s sleep! With you always: Solva (without kingdom)”.
Suddenly Cute turned back and removed the flowers from the triangle stone. She was astonished to see a grave, on the stone of the grave it was carved, I LOVE HER, “WISHING YOU A HAPPY LIFE” with you always: Solva.
Tears rolled down from her eyes and down her cheeks, when it was time she did not know and now she is left all alone with tears, and the only companion was Solva’s love on the grave, so friends when it is time just utter the words to the one you love, “I LOVE YOU” and forget about the rest.
