Diana was very simple and elegant in spite of being rich and famous. The upscale society and aristocratic family background speak volumes of her dignity and sophistication. However, she possessed a heart which has preserved a picture of Sameer in her subconscious thoughts.
His humble background has out-smarted many rich and famous lads of wealthy and aristocratic society. He possessed a gift of gap and a perfect sense of humour. He was intelligent and knew the art of stealing the heart of many feminine genders. What was transpired and inspired between Sameer and Diana has its sanctity and purity of love?
It was September, and the birthday lad was on his own and lonely, strolling down in the park. The evening twilight was continually exploring his feelings and simplicity. It was making his personality most attractive and enchanting. He went inside the café and fetched a coffee and sat down in the cosy corner. He was totally engrossed in his thoughts, when a soft yet a melodious voice interrupted him. A charming young girl stood in front of him and politely asked his permission to share the same table. At that moment, Sameer has become dumb founded and speechless. He recovered quickly, and with a broader smile stood and bowed before her. It indicated his permission and magnitude of mannerism.
The moment appeared lasting and unending. The time encompassed the two strangers and their sincere love into its magnanimity. They looked deep into each other's eyes, and their passion of love transformed them into sublimity. They were totally unaware of their attraction and attachment to each other. They remained mute for reasonably longer time until the steward broke the silence and enquired into their requirements. Sameer asked her if she liked to share a cake. She nodded in affirmative, and the steward departed to fulfil the order.
Diana and Sameer exchanged their basic information and suddenly laughed in unison. Diana complemented without exaggeration about his dreamy and intoxicating eyes. It appeared to her that his eyes have read all about her personality. Sameer thanked and reciprocated her compliment in expressing her overall personality like Rebecca's statue.
The waiter placed their order on the table and wished him happy birthday. Diana felt a pleasant surprise and enquired; how did the steward know about it?
Sameer replied, "He always celebrates his birthday alone and in the same restaurant."
They shared the cake and after sometime they left the place and decided to walk down the carriageway towards the park.
Diana expressed her love and wanted to spend her holidays in Venice. She formally invited him to join her on her trip to Venice. She requested him to prepare to leave by the following weekend.
Sameer smiled and expressed his unfathomable love through his eyes, which has enveloped her in totality.
The seven days of the week were appeared, most memorable not only to Sameer and Diana but also to the entire neighbourhood. Everybody appreciated and admired the couple. They spend most of the time together exchanging their thoughts, feelings and subtle sense of humor. Diana informed him that she will be visiting her grandma along with her parents, and they will return in a few days. They departed to their respective homes and promise to meet on the eve of departure to Venice.
Sameer was off to the neighboring town to fulfil his unfinished task. He returned in a couple of days and settled down in his home. On the appointed day Sameer was proceeding towards Diana's residence and noticed something very unusual. Everybody was giving a strange look at him. It appeared that they wanted to tell something but refrained from doing so for some unknown reasons. Finally, he reached her home and noticed a tragic scene. The coffin was resting on the hearse and everybody, including Diana's family members were in black robes barring Diana. Her absence made him frightened and confused. He was in a dilemma, whether to enquire about Diana or wait and watch?
He remained silent for some time and decided to approach her parents. Her mother came running and hugged Sameer and broke down hysterical. Other family people took charge and tried to pacify her. Sameer was shivering with fear of an unknown danger. Diana's father took Sameer in the corner and informed him that Diana has died in her sleep. Her sudden demise has shocked everybody with same magnitude. Sameer broke down and could not control his tears. He touched the coffin and kissed.
After the funeral ceremony was over and everybody departed to their respective destination. Sameer walked down the path to the café in a melancholy state and sat in the corner. The waiter approached him and with all sympathy expressed his condolence and remembered the departed soul in very high steam. Sameer looked at him and expressed her absence by reciting an Urdu poetry couplet:
"The memories of the past are tormented oh! Lord,
Snatch my memories from me."
