11th anniversary of our relationship

My 4 years old daughter ( Selden Sonam Lhasel) my 1 year old son( Kinga Samdrup Tashi)

It was one fine morning that a 15 years old boy comes across a simple, shy, innocent and of course a beautiful girl of same age, wearing soft machine made kira with pink wonju and green tego, in his life. It was an opportunity for everyone to interchange and have a new look at new faces every Saturday with colorful dresses. It was really a great time that students come together on every Saturday to have assembly together (primary and secondary students). They are in same campus but they are bound to be in different because of the separation primary and secondary.
Uhm…….. the story is very long and interesting that clearly comes to my mind. I have problem of putting it on. Okai….let me begin. The boy was just 15 years old and was studying in 7th grade when he come across a girl that mentioned in first line of the story. He was little bit lost in her. And he didn’t had chance to see her because of some of the reasons. She was in primary (6th grade) in which the system is different from secondary, the class schedule, activities area, dining place and many more were completely different. Moreover, she was day scholar. Love is something that comes and goes away for many people. One can’t say true love until one self’s nurture it. May be for that boy, it was not….. and love developed within himself.

Now, this is very interesting part of story. A year later after having seen that girl for the first time, the boy had constant watch on. He was in 8th grade which we call senior most in school at lower secondary level. It was lucky for boy that he can see her once a day because she was in 7th grade, which means she was also in secondary.

“Lama dang Gyenpo ji tsen Jampel Yang la cha tshelo” was Morning Prayer that every students mourns every morning closing their eyes and praying to the God of wisdom for his knowledge. But whereas this young boy eyes was wide open searching for his lover where she stands in a line. Sounds funny right!!! But that was true and heartbreaking story.

A month after starting the classes, the boy got home work to do. What kind of home work do you think??? He got to do proposal that have to submit to his lover.

Dear sweetheart,
I don't know why i love you so much, my heart always want you. Words are not enough to explain my love to you. and many more.......
Your X

His friends were very kind and helped every help that he asked. Proposal was handed to her with the help of his friends. No dam! No smile, No talk, No see, No hear, No ….No ..No…..nothing from her.

It was really a sad time that boy went through, “Do I really love her? Am I in position to take her love? Am I ready to accept whatever she does to me?” the series of question asked himself. Answer is Yes, Yeah! And can.

“Okai, Pema, go and see my lover, take this letter which speaks my true feelings. This is last help that I will seek in my life for this reason”. The boy said to his friend. Pema, helped in many ways and convinced her to be his friend lover. Noting in positive bro! Nothing seems to work! Then what else boy have to do to win her love?

This wasn't surprised, a week after sending proposal, the acceptance letter came in. Boy opened it fearing that it may contain No again. But it was very sweet, short and quick note written back stating “I love you too!”

Now, question comes in his mind that how much she love him. what she have written to him was really a true feeling of that young girl. ha ha....she was just turned 16 years old that time and they are of same age. This is not end of story, in love..one have to take risk and assure, promise and commit to each other, respect and obey each other.

As i mentioned above, the story is very long. I try to make it short though it is not sweet. The true story is very sweet, sour, painful. The boy knew that in true love, love is not always smooth and doesn't flow as it want to be. It is very good to know that things turned to be good memory for them (couple).

This story is not long time back; it is not in other place other than Tshenkrala Lower Secondary School in Trashi Yangste. And also story is none other than my own memory of love that started in year 1999, when I and my lover attain age of fifteen.

Saturday, April 29, 2000 was our first day that we promised to be together, committed to each other. This is 11th anniversary our relationship. We have learned to live; we have learned to sacrifices. We have learned to love; we have learned to share, and many more. Life is not easy as we all think or it’s not difficult too. It’s all how one makes it. 29th April of every year is a day where we cherish our love. It is good memory that we have come across many difficulties things at very young age.

This post is dedicated to my hubby back at home. Though i am away from you, i still remember and pray for our success. " I love you my Hubby".
