" ALL MYSTERIES "

I'm a young guy and every time I walk around, my eyes go on searching for someone, someone special! "Am I that crazy?" I question myself, but without a reply. I don't know where she is or even what she is but my heart, only my heart, knows her. It doesn't tell me; that's the reason I'm helpless. She's a complete mystery for me. Is there anything in the world for which I'd have gone so crazy? I know my heart more than anyone else does. Still the very mystery of whom it has been eagerly waiting for has been striking my mind time and often. I visit different places to find out what thing I see might evoke the response in my heart. "This mystery is never going to be solved," I think.

I have my fiance and she's so lovely. But what on earth would be more beautiful than her to me that my heart is so infatuated with? We had our engagement a week ago and next month we are going to marry and she'll be my missus. Four days ago, I had a date with her and we had gone out in a park. I had noticed that she was not in her usual mood that day. We had not sat there for more than five minutes when she said she had to go. I didn't object to what she said; instead we drove back. I felt awful that day. The next day, early in the morning, she called me and after a long pause said that she could not marry me. She gave no reason.

I was shocked. I was restless. I felt bad, so bad that I began thinking ill of her. What had I not done for her? Had my love for her been so less? I had kept my faith in her and now she turned away from me. I was totally furious and tragedy struck right on my head. `Love bites. It stinks!' I cried. Now it was the time for me to write my emotions in my diary. As usual, whenever I had any sweet or bitter emotions, I jotted them down in my special diary. I found it missing from my room. I started searching and at last I found it lying on the table in the drawing room.Then I sighed with relief. I had solved the mystery why my love had left me, why my fianc?had refused the marriage.

The next day after our engagement I had invited her for coffee. I'm sure she read the diary which she took from my room and left in the drawing room. Perhaps, she read all about my infatuation with the unseen charm which I had written about in my diary. She mistook the charm for another girl and so she went away from me. I made up my mind to go to her and tell the truth. I explained to her how much I loved her. At the same time I told her all about my emotions, my feelings and infatuation towards the unseen charm. She understood me and my feelings: after all she was my love! And now there's nothing else in this world that can turn me away from her.

Nevertheless, I was still searching for the thing, that very mysterious thing. The next day was our marriage and we were so happy that we were getting married. So, we decided to go to the suburbs of the city. While walking there, my heart leapt up when I saw the thing down on the small pond: so attractive, so heart throbbing, so liliac, so fresh and so fragrant. After all, it was my craze. Guess her name or rather its name.
