Well, 'The Gift of the Magi' is a popular one. It's about a young couple who are very poor but deeply in love. The wife cuts her long beautiful hair to buy a chain for her husband's watch, while the husband sells his watch to buy combs for his wife's hair. It shows the selfless nature of love. Also, 'The Blue Umbrella' has a subtle romantic undertone. Binya, the little girl in the story, has an innocent admiration for a young man which is a form of budding romance in a simple village setting.
One great Indian romantic short story is 'The Postmaster' by Rabindranath Tagore. It tells the story of a young postmaster who comes to a rural village and forms a special bond with a young girl named Ratan. Their relationship is a mix of kindness, loneliness, and a touch of unspoken affection. Another is 'Love in the Time of Cholera' which is set against the backdrop of India and shows a complex love triangle filled with passion and longing. And 'A Pair of Mustachios' by Munshi Premchand also has elements of love and social commentary intertwined.
There's 'The Broken Wings' which is a poignant Indian romantic short story. It follows the love story of two young people who face numerous obstacles in their relationship. Their love is tested by family differences, social norms, and fate itself. The story beautifully portrays the pain and beauty of love in the face of adversity. Another story could be 'The Hen and the Golden Eggs' which uses the concept of greed in a relationship to show how love can be overshadowed by material desires.
