One Picture And One Story Week #74

I wish all the admin, moderator and all of my Steemian fellows of this community are very well and healthy by the grace of Almighty Allah. The reason I’m here today to participate in ''Contest Alert ⚠️ 1 Picture 1 Story Week #74''. I would like to thank @suboohi Mam for announcing this week every week and allowing us to share and also an opportunity to read many untold stories of my Steemian fellows. Today I’m going to share an incomplete love story. This is an unfinished love story where two people, despite their strong love for each other, do not get recognition or respect for their love.

In an ancient and noble and beautiful city, there lived a girl named Zaina. The girl was the daughter of a noble family, she was very beautiful, polite, civilized, and very fickle. Her father was a rich businessman. Despite being from a very noble and sound family, Zaina did not have any personal freedom. Her father arranged her marriage with an old and rich man whom Zaina did not like at all.

Far away from Zaina's huge mansion, there lived a sculptor named Kashif. Kashif was a poor, gentle, quiet, friendly and kind person. He could create very beautiful and unimaginable sculptures with clay, stone or marble. Everyone was very impressed by his incredible work skills.

One day, Kashif was walking along the path of a large garden. While walking, he saw a girl playing with some flowers, butterflies and birds. That's where he first saw Zaina. Kashif fell in love with Zaina's beauty at first sight. He stood behind a tree and looked at Zaina with fascinated eyes for a long time, enjoying her mischievous activities. Suddenly, Zaina noticed Kashif at the sound of his footsteps. Zaina liked Kashif very much at first sight and she also fell in love with him.

Kashif often waited in the corner of the garden to catch a glimpse of Zaina. He would wait all day long when he would catch a glimpse of Kashif. They both loved each other deeply. One day, Kashif proposed to Zaina and she agreed to the proposal and accepted it happily. Both Kashif and Zaina used to meet secretly and they used to spend very beautiful moments together. One day, Zaina's father saw them together and decided to separate them. He locked Zaina in a room and arranged for her marriage very soon. Meanwhile, Kashif did not know what to do. Kashif roamed around in front of Zaina's house every day and tried to find out how she was doing. But the guards never let him enter the house and did not tell him any news about Zaina. Then they beat him severely and kept him away from that mansion. The injured Kashif returned to his house with a heavy heart.

After going for a while like this, one day, Zaina gave one of her rings to a housekeeper and asked her to give it to Kashif and ask her to come to the place where they would be buried at the end of their garden. Zaina shared a plan with her trusted housekeeper and requested her to inform Kashif.
Zaina had planned to take a medicine that would make her unconscious for a while so that everyone in her family would think she was dead. Then her family would bury her. Then she would take this opportunity to escape from there and go to another distant village with Kasif.

Zaina wisely took a medicine that would make her unconscious for a while so that others would think she was dead. But she inadvertently took a little too much of the medicine. Due to this she was unconscious for a long time and her family thought she was dead and they planned to bury her. At one point, all the people in Zaina's family left her body behind a heavy stone door.

It was very late for Kasif to go to the housekeeper. As soon as he heard the news of Kashif, he went to that place crying and disappointed. He broke the stone door with great difficulty. When he touched Zaina's body, he saw that her body had become completely cold and was therefore motionless. Seeing this scene, Kashif cannot hold himself back in any way. By holding Zaina's body Kasif screamed and cried a lot. Later, he decided to sacrifice his life as like Zaina. He leaves a chain of his next to Zaina and moves towards a high mountain. At one point, Kashif jumps from that high mountain and sacrifices his life.

After a while, Zaina slowly opened her eyes and found herself in that tomb. She looked next to her and saw a chain of Kashif lying on her neck. She looked at the end of the mountain and saw Kashif’s muffler was dropped on the ground. Slowly, Zaina realizes that Kashif sacrificed his life for her. Zaina cannot accept this cruel truth in any way, she also immediately jumps from that mountain and sacrifices her life.

The next day, all the people of Zaina's family come to that tomb and see that the room is open and Zaina's body is not there. They searched here and there and found the dead bodies of Zaina and Kashif lying at the bottom of the hills. This scene brought tears to everyone's eyes and shook them all from within for their mistake.

Later, they buried the bodies of Zaina and Kashif side by side in the same place. All the people of that area and all the surrounding areas have this unfinished love story of Kashif and Zaina etched in their minds.

The moral of the story is love should be free and it should not be controlled by the society or for the discrimination of wealth. Any kind of discrepancy could not be bigger than our life. Our lives are very precious and making impulsive decisions in grief can lead us to unpredictable tragedy.

Before ending today's post I would not like to miss the opportunity to invite some of my Steemian fellows - @max-pro, @kalidsyfulla, and @mueeinislam to participate in this amazing contest.
