One Love

My attempt at writing a story... take a look

One love


The first time I met him, I was buying fruits from the supermarket. He was just across the aisle assessing the weight of the apples with scientific precision. Suddenly his eyes met mine across a sea of faces and he smiled, the most beautiful and serene smile. His smile was enough to make me go weak in my knees. I think it was Love at first sight for me!

After paying our respective bills, we introduced ourselves. He was named Parihar- the victor. He worked for a scientist who stayed just four houses away from my master’s place.

After that first meeting, I met him often while I did household chores or took my masters son out to play. Parihar would often wave or come across to have a chat while I was out. He would have me tongue-tied like a lovelorn teenager out on a date with his first crush. His gaze was enough to send a jolt of electricity through me. The tug of physical awareness was too strong. Maybe he felt the same.

Months passed by and we often met and discussed everything under the galaxy except love. Parihar was very dedicated to his master and would often go on difficult missions commissioned by him.

I connected with him at a different plane. I was physically attracted to him too. I never knew of his feelings as I never talked to him about it. We could have been true soul-mates if we only gave ourselves the chance!

I heard Parihar died in a freak accident that took place in his master’s laboratory. I mourned his demise for months. I felt half dead. My master and his family could never understand my preoccupation with a dead humanoid! Humans can never understand us and never will.

Years have passed by and today I am a companion to an attractive 50 year old human. But Parihar will always remain my one and only love!
