A Fall in Love

The girl was recently married to a handsome & cheerful guy. She was now a proud wife and he was his loving husband. They stayed together but they could not know how deeply they loved each other. They shared a house, a bed but both of them were unsure of their feelings for each other.

Most often the means and manners to express our love fall short in capacity and range and depth. Many a time we love so intensely but we cannot or will not express. And sometimes we express but we express reluctantly and the natural spontaneity of our feelings of love gets curtailed. So it is always a perplexing question-“How to make someone feel your love?”

‘The deeper the love is, the dumber it appears’- And so it happened in their case. The wife loved her husband intensely but she did not know how to communicate her love. Likewise, the husband also loved the wife more than he loved himself but he did not know how to express all his feelings for her. A thin wall of some hesitation was perhaps there.

One day, they went on a motorcycle ride. The wife sat behind the husband. The road was extremely bad with a good deal of potholes and crumbling edges. So the guy had to maneuver a lot to maintain the balance. The situation still worsened when the clouds above gathered their fury and a violent and sudden rain lashed at them. The speed of the bike reduced considerably but the young couple did not stop. Now the potholes on the road were filled with water and made biking more dangerous. Before they would stop, there was an unfortunate slip and the bike lost its balance. And the wife, who was sitting behind, did not care a fig about herself but held her husband tightly and helped him to maintain his balance. The bike had now slipped to a distance and was laying flat with one wheel still rolling. And the wife was fully covered in mud and somewhat injured. She suffered the injuries because with her soft hands she wanted to hold her husband in balance and, as a result, she fell on the muddy and rough road more severely. The husband was saved from falling down but her wife was still on the road looking like a deity made up of mud. She smiled most complacently when she saw the man uninjured and unhurt. But the husband was on the verge of crying. With his both hands, he lifted his wife from the muddy road with utmost concern and deep love. He asked, “Hey! Are you alright?” The wife had crossed his hands around his neck and gave a nod and a smile with contentment and serenity. The husband felt that there was a violent explosion of love and he was lost in the deepest sense of gratitude for the lovely lady. It was a public road and the mini accident had already gathered a good number of onlookers but he did not care. He had forgotten himself in the avalanche of love. He held his wife tightly in his arms. His eyes were now closed and his voice was chocking when he uttered, “I never knew that you loved me so much. Now, I cannot live without you. You are my life, dear.” The wife heard those words, with her eyes still closed. And her face beamed with a heavenly happiness.

One fall from the bike had resulted the most beautiful fall in love.
