STORY - ROSE

Rajvir and shikha, two love birds madly in love in each with each other went out on a vacation leaving their home behind.

They ran to kakadpur, a small village situated between hills in the north. The legend says that, this town is blessed with a gift. The gift of Love, never ending love. There is a hill in kakadpur with a peculiarity. A Rose plant is there on the hill. Who so ever plucks a rose from that plant and gives to her beloved, they can never be separated. But that rose is on the peak of the hill and its a dangerous path going there. Along the years many have tried and failed, breaking bones and even giving up their lives. It is said that the rose decides who comes near to it.


Rajvir and Shikha are so much possessive in their love that they can hardly be away from each other. They are so much greedy about their love that both would cross any limits to achieve and to be with each other.

One day Rajvir decides to goto that hill and pluck her the Rose. His greed for her makes him determined to pluck the rose. Even Shikha doesn't stop him as she too is greedy to get that rose and show to the world how much they love each other.This makes Rajvir so much determined that he decides that he will not only pluck a rose but will bring the entire plant to her.

Determined like rock , he set his journey towards that hill. He started his journey early in the morning. going through the rough bushes near the foot of hill and after getting kissed by many small and large insects he reaches the point, where he needs to climb up. The sun was rising just as the same pace at which his enthusiasm was rising. He started climbing the hill and by the time it was evening he some how managed to reach the plant by nearly getting himself killed a few times. Now he reached the peak and found the plant. Red blood  roses giving shine like velvet and mild lusty glow due to fading sun made his heart feel that the greed and efforts are worth even seeing them. But instead of getting the rose, he started plucking the plant itself, as he had promised his beloved. The roses had chosen him


After taking the plant in his hands, he started his journey back. The thorns on the plant pierced his hands leaving a blood trail behind. But now it was getting dark and soon when he was half way it was dark enough to hardly see whats two feet away. While coming down he bruised and smashed and slide many times. When he reached the bottom of the bottom he again came through the bushes and met her. She saw the plant and felt all love was for her.

The greed of their love was just about to be fulfilled.

When the girl saw the hands of her beloved she felt sympathy and love. But what she saw next devastated both of them. The plant had came along the boy with thorns piercing his hands. Both of their hearts broke down. The next thing they saw was their parents coming from behind. They slapped Shikha and took her away from Rajvir and so did Rajvir's parents took him away with them. They never saw each other.

What devastated both Rajvir and Shikha was this, Rajvir did brought the plant to her.
But there was not a single rose on it.

The roses faded away......
