In the early Saturday morning, when the whole world and universe were vibrating and echoing far, birds on the branches of cozy trees shadow were chirping, the city got its life back and the streets light turned off and sun won at game against moon and the breeze and cool air passing through the river banks at the time where everyone bursts into happiness, excitement and their heart filled with joy for a gift of God that had already seen the beauty of earth and burst into cry,  a pretty boy was born.

The boy was name as Luwang. In his childhood when he started to study in a school, he saw many children studying in school, he got many friends in his class where he plays together enjoyably with all friends. Luwang was a hard-working boy, did his best to his studies and helped in his father’s work, and in leisure time he used to play game in phone.

While exam was knocking at the door, he was waiting for it. He fell in love for the first time when he was eight. Her named was Sadiya her home was near to Luwang’s home. On      the first day they walked together to the road of school. Luwang started to share his story of his first day of school and his experience when he started to study in school. They continued to walk sharing the stories of each other. Finally, they reached to the school, the best part of their day was those moments spent going to school, moment of sharing their story, laughing, with the sun beating down. Then she was walking fast and with trying his hardest to keep up.

The days were passing as usual. Luwang who spent a lot of time in reading and writing to become a popular man, and to please to his parents and where only other distraction in his life was gaming in phone. When he got a girl, he left both reading and game. He suffered greatly and found the day far too being simply because they allowed his life and thousands of hours to spend thinking about her, imagining how good it would be if they could meet and talk.

Then it happened,

After some days when Luwang and Sadiya met each other in market with her parents, Sadiya was very ecstatic to meet him and the market was full of people like a rainbow gathering. They wandered in garden of nearby market, and Luwang was also happy too. Finally, after a day of enjoyment he came to home to prepare for the exam and she also went to home with her family. 

Finally, they appeared in the exam and both got victory in the exam.

One day, when Luwang turned into ten years and his parents wanted to send him to other state for further study far from his friend as he had left everything even studies. One night, his parents came to Luwang to meet him. ‘Luwang you should go to Lucknow with your brother Salim, to study well’’ his father said.

‘No dad! I can’t go Lucknow to study I’m very small, to go their alone. How I can live without you and my friends.’ He stopped listening and said to his parents briefly.

He cried loudly, and his mother took him to calm him down. His father never minded him  because his father knew that Luwang will not study there in his home town. So, his parent and his uncle with his brother went to Lucknow by flight, that was first trip in flight he ever travelled.

They reached in Lucknow in a vast school. Which a fateful encounter teacher awaited them. He wondered whatever he saw and he heard in the school. Because he doesn’t know Urdu, and English. But his father admitted him in the class five. After then he passed the interview, and they stayed some days with Luwang. His father told him to study well and become a popular man from this school. Then his parent left them and went to home.

He started to study with his brother. His brother was very honest and peaceful person. Who care his younger brother and look after like a mother and father, who never let him feel the absence   of his parents.

On the following days after some month he remembered his love, and then he managed make a call to her father to talk with her. Fortunately, she attended the call and talked with him. And she said, ‘you left me alone in Manipur and you are in the Lucknow to study well far from me’. With an emotion filled in her soft voice.

‘No, it’s not my fault; my father just wants to see me a popular scholar from Lucknow. He went on, ‘I’m studying here if you want to study then come, I will handle’.

She said ‘No I don’t want to go there’.

‘Then I will go to you some month later with my brother and I will go and meet you first, ok’.

‘You continue your study, and Luwang I want to say that leave me now. We can’t meet again. Sorry good bye’. After she ended up the call.

Luwang became upset, that she broke up with him. He never did upset before such like that. When he spent some days and months the great festival Eid came. In school the principal announced the vocation for three weeks. Then he and his brother went to home.

Luwang became happy when he met his parents mother father and sisters after a long time. They all welcome them.

Then one day passed since they arrived from Lucknow.

Luwang went to her home but he found empty house. Then he asked to her neighbor.

‘Uncle, where Sadiya’s families has gone?’

‘I don’t know absolutely but I can say something about her family’. Her uncle went on. ‘One day she came and told me, ‘uncle I will go with my family in Hyderabad to settle there. will you accompany us there?

‘I said no after then I went to do my business and my company is ready to export some goods from Imphal to Delhi that time. After two months later when I came in my home, I found their home was empty, and another family has settled there. I didn’t know who they  are. Sadiya’s father was my big brother. So, I made call to my brother but they didn’t attend my call. So, I don’t know. Please forgive me’ if they make call then I will call you.

Then Luwang thought. ‘Quitter will not win and winner will not quit’ and he also pray for her God please give her peace and make her honest and glad.’

But he never can forget her in his life. ‘Whoever forget their first love, its mean he loved only to get joy not for long period’. On the contrary ‘whoever never forgets their first love’ its mean he loves forever but she doesn’t want to live with him forever’

The vocation was completing of his school. He celebrated the Eid festival joyfully with his family and his friends. After that his family prepared the Luwang’s bags. His father booked the flight ticket and he enjoyed with his friends in the whole day of last day from his vocation.

In the next day he and his brother and along with his father came to Lucknow pleasantly.
