Unexpressed Love
Asim Tarafder
Arif is a very smart boy. His smiling face and very nice looking eyes can impress anybody easily. In addition he has a strong involvement in social & cultural activities. Due to his handsome figure and pleasant personality he has a lot of fan surrounding him. Most of them are girls. Some of them are very pretty and demanding. But Arif has the same feelings to all and some times it is seen that he is more interested to those girls who are not so beautiful.
In his school and college life, he used to pass his maximum time with his less beautiful girl friends. They were his good friends and all they knew that Arif is only their friend, nothing else. Arif used to get offer of love from different girls through his friends. But Arif seemed very neutral every time and avoided all these offers.
When Arif was doing his BBA in a private university, he went to visit his own village in a vacation. It was rainy season and the village was surrounded by water. When he reached their home he saw that Zeni is also came to the village. Zeni is a teenage girl of their nearest neighbors and she was very closed to Arif earlier. However, Zeni lived in a different city with her parents and has just admitted in College. She came to village to learn swimming. Both were delighted by seeing each other after a long time.
They stayed a few couple of days in the village and most of the time they passed by swimming, playing indoor games, gossiping and moving around the village by a boat. One day, when they were moving by a boat, it started raining. To save themselves from the heavy rainfall, they took shelter under a shed of a big tree in a highland. There was no any other person in the land, only those two stood up there closely, neither any talking nor any sound except rain falling. When the rain was stopped, they started to go back home. As the land became very slippery, Zeni going to fall down, but Arif held her closely and rescued her promptly. Zeni thanked Arif and held his hand tightly and came up to the boat.
Few days later they left the village and go back to their respective cities. But Arif realized a change in his mind. He felt a new type of feelings and touch of love in his heart. He tried but could not forget the moment of holding Zeni very closely. He asked himself “has Zeni also the same feelings to him?” but the answer is unknown. He mixed with several girls very closely but never feel such feelings. He got offer from different lovely girls, but never fall into love. But how could Zeni obtain all his love and feelings, he surprised.
Once Arif has completed his education and got a job in a Bank. Zeni has completed her education too. Zeni's father transferred to the same city of Arif. They met several times, talked on different topics but never could tell what is actually going on inside his heart. He sharply and wisely tried to understand the feelings of Zeni but woman mind is so critical that Arif could not receive the message of her heart. Several times Arif attempted to tell about his feelings to Zeni but he always became worried, because if she does not feel him in the same way!
Few days back Zeni got marry. Arif was invited and attended the ceremony. He silently saw to go away his dream queen with her husband. It broke his heart, broke his dream. But it could not expressed and it will never be expressed. He will cherish this dream and this feelings in his heart forever and ever.
