Riti and Himesh had shared a deep and affectionate bond
that had grown through the years. They were inseparable,
their laughter echoing through the quiet streets of their
small town. Their love story was one of innocence and pure
affection.
It all began when they were children, their friendship
evolving into something more meaningful as they grew
older. Himesh was known for his enchanting voice and
loved singing for Riti under the moonlit sky. Their love was
like a song, sweet and melodious.
But as time passed, something changed. It was a warm
summer evening when Riti suddenly stopped talking to
Himesh. He tried to reach out, to understand what had
gone wrong, but she remained distant, her eyes avoiding
his gaze. He was baffled and heartbroken, unable to
comprehend why their perfect melody had suddenly
turned dissonant.
Riti began spending time with someone new, a stranger to
Himesh. It was painful for him to watch her laugh, listen to
music, and share moments with another person. The
emptiness in his heart grew with each passing day. He
wondered if he had done something wrong, something to
drive Riti away.
In the depths of his despair, Himesh decided to confront
Riti. He found her one evening, sitting by the river they had
once frequented. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears,
and her voice trembled as she spoke.
"Himesh," she began, her voice barely audible. "I never
wanted to hurt you. I met someone else, but it's not about
love. It's about a promise I made to my mother."
Himesh listened in disbelief as Riti explained that her
mother had made her promise to marry a boy from a
neighboring village, a decision made when she was just a
child. Riti had tried to resist the arranged marriage, but the
weight of her promise was too heavy to bear.
Tears welled up in Himesh's eyes as he realized the truth. It
wasn't that Riti had fallen out of love with him; it was the
pressure of a promise she couldn't break that had torn
them apart. He knew he had to let her go to fulfill her
mother's wish.
Months passed, and Himesh watched from a distance as
Riti married the boy from the neighboring village. He
attended the wedding, his heart heavy with sorrow. He
knew that their love had been true, but circumstances had
forced them onto different paths.
Riti's eyes met Himesh's one last time at the wedding, and
they shared a moment of silent understanding. It was a
melody of love that couldn't be erased, a tune that would
remain in their hearts forever.
Himesh continued to sing, his voice carrying the bittersweet
memories of their love. He knew that sometimes, love
stories couldn't have the ending you hoped for, but the love
itself was always worth cherishing.
And so, Riti and Himesh moved on with their lives, forever
carrying the memory of a love that was as pure as the notes
of a melody that lingered in the air long after the song had
ended.
