Just for twenty days (A romantic story)

Once upon a time, there was a boy called Amir who was sixteen years old. The boy went to his maternal grand parents' home without his other family members where there were his maternal grandpa, maternal uncle, aunt and their four little kids of almost two, four and six years old.

During those days, a sister of that boy's maternal aunt had come to visit them and was utterly familiar with the boy. The boy always dreamt of being with any sister of his aunt, so he got that chance. Both the girl and the boy started talking to each other like friends on the very first day and on the following days that friendship became so strong that they got closer to each other. The boy began to sit in the kitchen when the girl used to cook something.

There was an orchard of mangoes near their home. The grandpa of the boy was very fond of eating raw mangoes, so he said to the boy to pluck them from the orchard to make their jam. The boy plucked and brought the unripe mangoes daily and both the girl and the boy sat in the kitchen to make the jam. While making that, they would start gossiping with each other and one day when they were having raw mangoes the girl snatched one of the slices from the boy who suddenly fell in love with her but unfortunately, the boy went to visit his relatives living in a village called Kot which was at a distance of 3 km from the village where the boy was staying. The boy was very anxious to meet the girl whereas the girl was also upset for him.

After a few days, the girl got so happy to see the boy again in the home. Now, their conversation started on different interesting topics like "love", "love marriage" etc. But unfortunately, the day came on which the elder brother of the girl arrived to take her back  home. The boy got too much shocked and wanted the girl to stay with him forever but as she was summoned by her family members so she was completely helpless to stay with him.

Afterwards, the time came when both the girl and her brother left for their home. The boy remained upset for a few days and never thought that could happen to him. Now, he was totally obsessed with love of that girl, but as we all know that the time heals even the deepest wounds. Therefore, the boy, too, understood and began to spend a normal life never caring about the girl who left him all alone.
