Oh!!It was some thing the
same, the same evening after rain that flashed out in his memory. That was a huge compound of Nawab of a small state.Surrounded
by residential houses on two sides. A cemented tennis court in mid. There was a
small fountain too and a small garden having mango, Kathal, Chikoo, guava, papaya and a grove of
henna plants at one corner a tube well
and water tank at one end of garden.

Boys of the
Compound were standing at drain and enjoying the turbulent water flow.Some boys
prepared paper boats and left in drain to flow completely without anchor, at the mercy of the wind and
waves. Small kids were collecting velvet mites in small glass bottles. This came out in large
numbers after rain.

Arshad proposed
his friends to cross the drain in one jump. Every boy would get three chances to
show the skill. Ok, it was greeted by 8 boys with cheer. There were small stone
pebbles on both bank of drain. Drain was not deep, if foot didn’t touch ground
at other bank; chances were to fell in water with some injury.

Arshad turned back
to leave challenge, suddenly he glanced Farhat in black scarf over her head.She
was sitting at cemented plate form under heavy shade of old Banyan tree with her
sisters. “It means she is watching him” He thought.

The magical Arrow of first
glance was pierced.He was
drenched with a deep feeling of oneness, world suddenly seemed warmer, brighter and more welcoming.Now
his resolution was to win.The dullness sublimed and a magic was inside him. Presence
of Farhat was meaningful for him.Pehli Nazar Keya Asar Kar
Gayi. Alluring gaze has intoxicated him.

He again
prepared himself to jump over drain.He took away his wet shoes striped off
shirt, folded pants over, took a long running start up, bounced in air. With in
a blink he was at other side of drain.He cried “I did, I did…I have crossed
drain” and laid flat on earth. Farhat was unable to understand, why he is so
overjoyed.He has simply crossed a drain in one jump. Arshad burbled himself “I
won because she was here’’.

Arshad entered
in court room and glanced the audience in court. Ouch!!! Black scarfed
Farhat was in them “his symbol of strength”. She did’t waved her hand.There is a saying, “Eyes
are the windows to the soul”.True
love doesn’t need proof, and the eyes told what heart felt”. Only in the eyes
of love you can find infinity.”
