Chapter 6 -:6:The Love tale
"Saira waited. Every night, she lit the lantern. Days turned into months, months into years. People told her Veer wouldn't return that he must Have forgotten her , but she never stopped believing in Veer's words ."
I felt pain in my heart.
She waited without expectations, just like a devotee waits for their god.
Nani continued. "One night, after many years, a storm hit the village. The winds were fierce, and Saira's lantern finally stop glowing . She took it as a sign , that it was time to let go."
I speak quietly. 'So she finally gave up...'
Nani's voice carried a hint of mystery. "The next morning, a traveler arrived at her door. His clothes were damaged , his face covered in dust, but his eyes.....his eyes were the same as before. It was Veer."
She paused again
"Nani, but why? Why did he come back after all these years?" I asked, confusion clear on my face.
She smiled, her eyes filled with wisdom. "Because when the storm covered the lantern, Veer panicked. He had been following its light every night from afar, believing he still had time. But the moment it disappeared, he realized he might have lost Saira forever."
My breath stop for a sec as she spoke the final words of the story.
