THE 7 YEAR'S PROMISE

Chapter 01

Sherya was looking at some photos on her phone. Suddenly, Sherya saw a picture that featured a cute picnic photo of Samir and Sherya. This brought back a memory

~~~when Sherya was 8 years old, Samir was leaving for New York for his education. Before leaving, he went around to meet everyone.

Samir said, "Aunty, since I am leaving, I won't be able to eat the food made by your hands. What will happen then?"

Ms. Jain replied, "Don't worry so much, Samir. First education, then everything else. You go now, and when you return, we will all get together, hang out with the whole family, and I will feed you lots of food too. Alright?"

Samir said, "Ok."

Mr. Verma said, "Alright. You have to leave now, Samir. Mr. Jain, the day you come back, we will have a great time catching up."

Mr. Jain said, "Yes, yes, we will."

Both of them laughed, and everyone was talking. Right then, Samir said to Sherya, "Sherya, listen carefully to everything I am about to say, okay?"

The innocent Sherya nodded her head in agreement.

Samir said, "Listen, I am going to make you my wife. I am leaving now, but I won't belong to anyone else; I will remain only yours. I will definitely find you, and you must promise me that you will find me too."

The innocent Sherya said, "Alright. I will find you."

{Sherya in mind} "I will find you. And I will tell you that you are my dearest friend. And I don't know what this feeling is? It only happens when I am with you. That's why I will ask you yourself about the cause of this feeling."

Shreya said, "Samir Senior, I want to tell you something that has been on my mind for a long time."

Excitedly, Samir urged her to speak, saying, "Tell me, tell me! What is this thing that's been on your mind for so long?"

Sherya said, "Not now. When you come back and find me, then I will shout it out loud and tell you."

Ms. Verma said, "Well? Aren't you going? You might miss your flight."

Samir said, "Just coming, let's go. Aunty, Uncle, I'm leaving."

Then Samir, Mr. Verma, and Ms. Verma all got into the car to head towards the airport. Samir said goodbye to Sherya through the car window. Sherya waved back. A strange ache touched Sherya's heart. Suddenly, a few tears welled up in her eyes. Sherya was very young back then, so she didn't know what this feeling actually was.~~~
