Short Story Contest. (Genre-Love)

First Prize 
The Last Kiss. (By Nisha Sharma)

11/01/2014- My b’day

 Our love was perpetual but we were not destined to be together. He was getting married and we were together for the last time. I was sitting beside him letting the chilled air touch my face and dry my tears. “I loveyou so much Aman. I can’t see my future without you”. I Said. Tears rolled out of my eyes as I embraced him. I felt helpless and closed my eyes giving him permission to award me with the most pleasant and the last b’daygift. He held me tight and planted a kiss on my left cheek; I held him tighter as if I wanted more to come. Slowly his lips moved towards mine. He leaned towards me and I shivered out of excitement as he kissed my upper lip. Leisurely the moment I slipped my hands inside his shirt, he rewarded me with the most pleasant gift of my life.

“We kissed each other.” I hugged him again and couldn’t stop myself from breaking into tears. He knew the reason behind that and allowed me to rest on his chest for the last time and then he left forever.

Second Prize 

A Wish (By Ayesha Adhikari)

“I wish to stand facing you; our fingers locked, our eyes lost;

 I wish to lock your lips with mine feeing the love divine; I

wish to rest my head on your chest listening the story your 

heart narrates; I wish to tell you,

‘I love you’  making you feel it’s true. -Sarika”

It’s the 4th-time Sameer’s reading this letter which he’d 

found while cleaning his age-old college-bag. 

It’s been two years of his marriage and today he found this letter addressed to him by Sarika, his college best-friend. He searched Sarika’s number and called her after two years. She hadn’t changed her number. “Hello,” she said. “Hello Sarika?” Sameer enquired. After long quiet minutes Sarika answered, “Sameer?” “Sarika? Do you love me?” Sarika laughed a strange laughter at Sameer’s question. “What…?” Sameer dragged. “It’s a prank I wanted to play on you. I thought it’d never workout. But… See!” They both laughed. After a friendly-talk they hanged up the phone. In this long run of friendship, it’s the first time when Sarika lied to Sameer. Yes! She loved him… But, it’s a wish now. Tears soon filled her eyes. And there, Sameer’s still answering his wife’s doubtful questions about Sarika…
