A Story

"No I wont let him."
"Why not? You love him, don`t you?"
"Ofcourse I do, I love him so much that i wont put him in that situation."
"Don`t you want to marry him? I know he does." Her friend told her.
"Yes i do." She sighed. "But I know my parents wont approve it."

She loved him so much that she wont let him be humiliated even by her parents whom she adores. That was all she has been thinking about in the last couple of days. She knew that the next time they`ll meet he`s gonna tell her he will propose. She didn`t know yet how to pervent him, but she had to.

That evening in her bed, she closed her eyes and remembered the first time they met. She could feel the warm breeze of the Italian shore, the taste of the vanilla icecream she was eating and her brother`s giggles on some joke. Thats when he came into the café and sat on the table in the corner. The first thing she noticed was his chin. It was the right shape, square under the mouth, just the way she likes it. Then his eyes. He was wearing glasses, but under them there were those intelligent and honest eyes. He looked at her. She immediately talked to her brother and acted as if she was in the middle of a conversation. After that, every time she glanced he was looking at her, not staring, just looking. His friend came and sat beside him but it was obvious that he was just disturbed by him.

From that day, every time they ran into eachother in the street, he would step aside to let her pass, and look back at her untill she disappears between people. Once, he entered a shop with his sister, she was there setting behind one of the shelves waiting for the shoe she ordered. He didn`t see her but she could hear him complaining about how much his sister loves shopping and how long it takes her to buy something. She recognized his voice and smiled . His sister came nearer and he followed. He saw her and his heart raced with happiness. He sat on the other chair and started talking about how comfortable the chair is and why wouldn`t his sister try all the shoes in the shop becouse indeed it will be a shame not to buy such nice shoes! She couldn`t manage but simle. He noticed and simled back.

It has been three years.

He was a great man. His only fault was he`s not from the same region she`s from, and that, from her parent`s point of view, was a taboo.

She`ll find a way to tell him, she thought. He will be hurt, but not as hard as she will, thats something she knew but she has to be strong. She wished he`ll have a better life without her, maybe a better wife, too! The thought broke her heart, but he deserved it.

He was her first love and she decided he will be her one and only one untill she gets married.

A random thought that could happen to anyone.
