Love isn’t about swooning over each other every day and it isn’t about grand gestures and over the top declarations–it’s about the little moments. It’s about the tiny things you do for each other, it’s in every ‘hope you have a great day’, ‘stay on the phone with me till you get home’ or ‘my boss yelled at me can you come over I need a hug’ message. At the end of the day, that’s exactly what we’re all living for right?!
So for the Bollywood romantic in you, we’ve got seven short love stories for you to go gushy-mushy over. You can read the full thread here.
1. Love Is In The Tiny Moments
She: Those laddoos are not for you..put them down.
He: But..one laddoo won’t cause any harm..
She: No..I said..
He: Please..
She: No means no..
He: Huh..why are you so dominating?? It’s my life..
She: Yeah..so do whatever you feel like doing..Why don’t you understand???
He: I don’t want to talk to you..
She: See..we are not young, hale and hearty..as we used to be before..and thanks to these diseases, attacking our health every day…we have to take care of ourselves..
He: ok..ok..you are right…but I don’t agree with you on one thing.
She: What??
He: I am still young…and you still look the same…beautiful…though your hair is changed from brown to white..and you got the few more wrinkles…you are still the most beautiful woman.
She: Oh..I am flattered..nice try though… I still won’t be giving you any laddoos..
He: You are still so stubborn..I hate you..
She: haha..and you are still so cute..I love you..
Even after 60 years of marriage, their love remained unaltered.
2. Heroes Come In All Sizes
Two 7-year old kids, a boy and a girl, were very fond of each other. They were best of friends and were in the same class. The little boy secretly liked the girl and always thought to himself, “I will marry her once I grow up”.
Once, both kids reached very early to the school. No one from the class had come till then. Roaming around in the campus, the little girl said she wanted to go to the toilet and went. The boy followed. Waiting for her outside the toilet, the boy had a small bottle of red color in his pocket. He started playing with it(throwing it in the air and catching it) and accidentally spilled some amount of it on his dress and some in his mouth. The color falling from his mouth looked like as if he was bleeding.
The little girl came out of the toilet and seeing him in this condition asked, “What just happened?”
“3 guys came here and started peeping in the girls’ toilet. I fought with all three of them violently just for your sake and they ran away after getting beaten”, said the hero, chest out in pride, trying to impress her and whispering to himself, “Well done Romeo, you could not have come up with a better answer”.
3. Sweet Nothings
“It’s 10 PM, do you want to walk me home?” Kavin asked.
“Are you afraid to walk alone?” Marrie replied.
“No one is alone after talking with a beautiful girl,” He answered.
“How come?” She questioned with known eagerness.
“Thoughts occupy the fragrance of smile, the nose smells beauty, eyes see wonders and tongue starts to speak never heard poetical lines..”
“Hey, stop flirting. I will walk with you,” she cut him cutely.
“We already reached the destination,” He replied.
“Now, do you want to walk me home?” Craziness came out of her words.
“Of course!” He answered with a sense of bliss.
Both smiled.
The same thing continued for the next few hours.
There shall be showers of blessings this is the promise of love.
4. One Phone Conversation Can Change It All
It was 4 am in the morning, he was sitting on the roof of the boy’s hostel, she was in her room in girl’s hostel, he was staring at girl’s hostel which was on a higher level and was 2-3 km away. The temperature was in between 10-15 degrees and they were talking continuously since the last 5 hours.
Suddenly
Boy:- blah blah blah ‘I Love You”…
(he tried to say in an encrypted way because it was paining him from a long time, always wanted to say, but was not sure enough from her side.)
Girl: Absolute silence for some 5-10 seconds.
Boy: (just to hide, what seemed like a silence bomb on her, he tried continuing the sentence to lose those 3 words in oblivion)… is a very nice song from movie Bodyguard, you should definitely listen to that. Listen I am getting a call, we will talk tomorrow. Good night.
And he disconnected, his heart was pounding, he was afraid thinking that she won’t talk to him now.
He received a message after some time.
Nobody calls you at this time, and if someone has, if that is a boy, ask him not to disturb you at this time, and if she is a girl, I will kill you. Because blah blah blah I love you too can also be a good song in a movie. Blah Blah Blah 🙂
5. True love is worth fighting for
A boy was dating a girl who always hurt him. One day, she broke up with him and told him, “I don’t ever want to see you again.”
A few months later, the girl had a change of heart. She realised that she loved the boy, so she went back and said to him, “Give me just one more chance. I love you and I need you. I promise that I will never hurt you again.”
But the boy just laughed and said to her, “Only a fool would take back someone who hurt them so much.”
The girl felt hopeless and began to cry, but the boy put his arms around her, held her tightly and said, “…and I am one of those fools.”
6. Love, Innocence And Everything In Between
A young boy and girl were crying. Someone asked, “Why are you both crying?”
The girl said, “My doll has broken.”
The boy said,” My doll is crying.”
7. A Little Mischief And Bucket Loads Of Hugs
“Can’t this thing go any faster?”, I quarried.
‘Yeah, if a PSLV engine was attached”, replied Raj with a hint of sarcasm.
I had always liked his one-liners. Impressive sense of humour was his trademark and one of the reasons I had decided to spend my life with him.
“But we can take a short-cut”, I suggested.
“Sure if you wanted to reach maybe at the beginning of the next century. Shortcuts are narrower and have lots of turns. It would have less acceleration and more brakes. Meaning you would bump into me more and I don’t know why I am resisting this idea. Let’s take shortcuts.”
“Shut up and keep driving”, I said trying to wash the smile off my face. I tightened my grip on his waist and smelled his hair. It smelled like beer. So this was all the fuss about the beer-shampoo.
We reached my sister’s house just in time. It was my niece’s birthday. It proved to be a cumbersome task to find Nisha, our 3-year-old birthday girl among all the similar looking same height children.
My sister Neha and her husband seemed to be the happiest couple in the world. Raj also seemed quite immersed in the waves of children hopped-up on sugar. After making small talks with Neha and other mothers, I felt like taking some fresh air. I walked out into the balcony and stood against the railing.
I got lost so much in my thoughts that I didn’t notice Raj coming through and standing beside me until his hands touched my cold fingers. He had spiky black hair that complemented his pale skin so beautifully.
“Why do you want to marry me Raj?”, I asked looking into his eyes.
“Isn’t the reason I love you enough’”, he replied holding my hands.
“But why do you love me? You know very well that I can’t have children, ever”, I tried holding my tears back, but it was never my forte.
“Why wouldn’t I love you?
“I love you because it feels like paradise when you put your fingers through my hair and there’s no other place I want to be.”
“I love you when you call me in the middle of the night to tell me the silliest of the stories, while all I want is to wrap you around me like a blanket.”
“I love you when you secretly sniff my hair while I’m driving or sleeping and smile as if you have plucked a star from the sky.”
“I love you because all I can think about is your caterpillar-like perfectly shaped eyebrows in the middle of a fight.”
(He reached out and wiped my tears)
“And if you are concerned about the child there are other ways, beside the conventional hotdog & doughnut method”, he continued.
“Come on guys we are going to cut the cake”, shouted Neha from inside the room.
“Or maybe we could sneak out a kid or two from here. Wanna give it a shot?” he said. We burst out laughing like crazy.
“I knew I loved you for a reason”, I said as we entered the room holding hands.
