My Belated Valentine….
“Do you love me just like I do?” Those beautiful deep eyes asked while handing me the card.
I took it without answering, opened the white envelope and out came a red heart shaped card which read “Be My Valentine”.
Gosh, this is June and I was getting a valentine card four months late.
Those eyes were eagerly waiting for my answer and I was relishing every second reading it.
As I looked up to express how my heart felt, my valentine said ” You haven’t looked in the envelope properly, there is more.”
I fished through the envelope like a child who has been told there is more chocolate, just dig deeper.
There they were, a few neatly written colourful notes. No poetry but absolutely heartfelt beauties.
”I love you ” said one , ” Do you love me?” asked the other one.
How could I say no…my heart was heavy, I was overwhelmed.
I was leaving the country in a couple of days and all of a sudden this.
”I love you too and will miss you loads ” I said and we cocooned in a tight embrace.
There were tears in those eyes…and some in mine too…
After all, how often do you get a valentine card from a six year old?
It was my neice Aditi who melted my heart. We had met during my recent trip to Yankeeland.
She had known me for half a day when she decided to shower me with that card and her affection..
She has taught me to keep saying those magic words often…And I am still practising…
I think you can never say enough of those words ever.
Bless her…..
Awwww!! chuch a chweeeettt possshhhtt !! ;=)

U r absolutely rit,” I think you can never say enough of those words ever.
”
but, wt we do, v jst try to please othrs & take forgranted those, who love us..
i am rajib
we do hesitate to confess our love for the other…. children as so without inhibitions… moving tale.
All children ARE smaller, real versions of GOD. Be with them and u can get closer to something we may otherwise never get - pure, unadulterated, unconditional love!
nothing can match the love of a child!
Sweet post!

I am all for banning Velentine, it is against our Kulchar. Why dont we celebrate World Heart Day instead.

children speak what comes to their minds, unlike we adults who practise our words. i see the genuine affection here, as your little niece said those words…
little children teach us more about what love is - and how beautiful is it- because it comes from their heart. have a safe trip
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice :)))))))))))))))))))))))
