I was just thirteen years old when I fell in love with a boy four or five years older than me.It was the most ecstatic feeling and I still cannot get over it, as they say when a woman falls in love, she can never fall in love again, although I was a teenager then, but I still have vivid memories of that boy and how I felt for him.I was a smart, bubbly and  a cute little teenager, who enjoyed life and was living life to the fullest, when suddenly life changed for me. I had set my eyes on him the first time when he had come to the colony park and he was chatting with his friends. I found him so handsome, his curly , dark brown hair and large dark brown eyes! I was floored! Though now when I look back , I laugh it off as mere infatuation, but I don’t know why I felt an instant connection with him, when he looked into my eyes, my heart fluttered and I used to feel so nervous and excited at the same time.You won’t believe it, but I never spoke to him, but still I felt a strong connection to him, he was so handsome and so good looking, that whenever I used to look at him I could not stop myself from staring at him and he hardly bothered to even turn around and look at me.For him I was insignificant as I was much smaller than him, therefore he hardly even tried to take any interest in me.Each day when I used to go to the park I used do up my hair differently and wear my best of dresses to look nice lest he spots me there, but everyday he used to be so engrossed in chatting and playing with his friends that he hardly took notice of me.I was so mad after him that I used to stand in the balcony for hours on end, just to get a glimpse of him and sometimes I used to keep peeping out of the window, so that I could see him playing in the park, but I would spot him only a few times, rest of the times I would just just sadly retreat to my studies or doing some other work.As days passed things remained the same when slowly and gradually he started noticing that I stare at him all the time, when I am around him, in the park or in any shop nearby. Once I remember I was standing in the neighbourhood Bakery and he suddenly walked in with his friends, probably to buy something. I turned around and as usual started staring at him and he was standing opposite me when suddenly a lot of people came in between us and it was a funny situation and I could see just one half of his face and I caught him staring at me with one eye!I was shocked as it was so sudden and the depth with which he was staring at me cannot be explained in words.There was admiration and tender love in them! I then left the Bakery feeling very shy and till now I cannot forget that look of his in the Bakery.Another time I felt very shy was when we both passed each other when I was coming back from school.We were walking on the side of the road and he suddenly saw me walking down the road, swaying my bag along my side.He was chatting with his friend and when I passed him,  I stopped swaying my bag and I quietly tried to pass him and then he turned around and looked fondly at me! I walked away feeling shy and embarrassed at the same time. Anytime I came in direct contact with him and whenever he looked at me I always felt a soft tenderness in his eyes and the warmth of his heart touched me deep inside.This boy was very tall and fair and had the loveliest hair and a very smart moustache and whenever I looked at him I went weak in my knees. I used to dream of him being near me and talking to me and we spending time with each other, but I could never muster enough courage to ever stand in front of him and talk to him.I was too small and too naive to even think of it! Things went on in this way for a few months and nothing happened till one fine day when he smiled at me! Just imagine my prince charming smiled at me, finally he took notice of me, and I must tell you, it was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen!I was coming back from school one evening and he was sitting on his bike and waiting for his friend.He saw me coming and when I passed him he did not do anything, but  when I went  a little further and turned around as I heard some noise behind me and I looked at him, he smiled at me, I was too shocked to respond in any way.I turned around and went to my home.I did not know what to do ,but I was mesmerised by his first smile.It was so sudden that I was at a loss of words as to what should my next step be,but fate had other plans for me . Just imagine my bad luck, that when I could think of having a relationship with him, as he had finally acknowledged my presence and smiled at me, I had to go, I had to leave the city for goodMy father was transferred to another town and I had to leave the very next day!I had to travel all alone, as my father had arranged for school admissions in that town and so I had to leave.I could have had a beautiful relationship with this boy whose name also I did not known.......................................,..........

THE GIRL AND THE MOONOnce upon a time, in a small town surrounded by a forest, lived a curious little girl named Luna. Luna was vibrant and loved to explore the enchanting forest around her home.Luna was not an ordinary child. She had a special friend whom she loved to chat with every night - the Moon. The Moon, always glowing in the sky, marveled at Luna's stories."Tell me Moon," Luna would ask, "what's it like to be up there among the stars?" And the Moon would softly shine its light, casting enchanting shadows around Luna.The Moon, although speechless, had a way of communicating with Luna. It would change its shape and brightness, making Luna understand its feelings. This was their unique language.One day, the Moon seemed to be in distress. Luna noticed the Moon's strange glow, and her heart was heavy with concern. She had to find a way to help her friend.As days passed, the Moon remained uneasy. Luna decided she must journey to the stars to ease her friend's pain. She had always wished for such an adventure.Luna began to plan and prepare. She was courageous and bold, ready for the journey ahead. She understood that it won't be an easy task, but she was ready.Days turned into weeks, and weeks into a month, as Luna worked tirelessly on her mission. She was finally ready to set sail into the night sky to visit the Moon.Night fell, Luna climbed aboard her aircraft. She looked at the Moon and said, "Don't worry, dear friend, I am coming." Then, she launched into the star-studded sky.Luna was enchanted by the beauty of space. Stars sparkled like diamonds, and the sky seemed endless. But her eyes were fixed on the Moon, her dear friend.Her journey was long and full of challenges, but her determination was unyielding. She navigated through the Milky Way, past nebulae and other planets, getting closer to the Moon.Finally, Luna landed on the Moon. The Moon was happy to see her but sad because it was missing the earthly green fields and blue oceans. It felt lonely.Luna understood the Moon's feelings and promised to bring back a gift. A piece of the Earth that could replace the green fields and blue oceans in its mind.With a new mission in mind, Luna began her journey back to Earth. She traveled past stars and galaxies with determination. She was eager to help the Moon.Luna arrived back home and started her search. She wanted to find something that would capture the essence of Earth. Something to remind the Moon of nature's beauty.After days of searching, Luna found a beautiful seed. It was said that this seed held the power to grow plants that shimmered with all the colors of the Earth.With the magical seed in her hand, Luna once again embarked upon her journey. She was eager to reach the Moon and share the gift she found.After a long journey, Luna finally reached the Moon. With her tiny hands, she planted the seed. The Moon watched curiously, not knowing what to expect.As Luna poured her love into the seed, it began to grow. Soon, a beautiful tree sprouted, covering the Moon with shades of green and blue.The Moon sparkled with joy. Though it could not speak, Luna could feel its happiness. Her heart filled with joy as she saw her friend gleaming brightly.Luna then returned home, leaving the Moon with its own piece of Earth. As she looked out her window, she could see the Moon shining with gratitude.Day by day, the Moon seemed happier. It was no longer lonely. It had a piece of Earth, a piece of Luna with it. And it shone brighter than ever.The bond between Luna and the Moon became stronger. Luna would gaze at the Moon every night, and the Moon would shine its brightest light on Luna, sharing their silent conversations.Luna grew older, but her friendship with the Moon remained. They were the best of friends, their bond unique and unshakeable, formed out of love, respect, and care.No matter where Luna went, she knew the Moon was there, watching over her. Their friendship was a symbol of unending love and support, bound by the threads of time.And so, it is said, when you look at the Moon and see it shine bright, remember the story of Luna and the Moon. Their friendship, a tale of love and light.Luna's story teaches us the value of friendship. It reminds us to reach out to those in need, to share our love, and to treasure the bonds we make.The memory of Luna and the Moon's friendship shines in the night sky. Even today, the Moon gleams with the colors of Earth, reminding us of Luna's love for her friend.So, next time you gaze at the Moon, remember Luna, the little girl who loved the Moon. Their story of friendship as endless as the sky, as radiant as the Moon.And Luna, wherever she is now, always takes a moment to look up at the Moon. She smiles, knowing that her friend is there sharing the beautiful night with her.The Moon reflects her smile, casting a soft glow on Earth.May Luna's adventure inspire us all to value our friendships. To care, to share, and to be there just like Luna was for the Moon
