Lover and his love

There was a person who's name was lover. He was madly in love with a girl named love. Everything between the lover and love was going great until one day when they decided to take a shortcut to their path and pass through a dangerous bushy forest.

Lover was walking in front, well guarding his love but little did he knew about the snakes of the forest. A snake came out of the mud and stung his venomous fangs on the love's feet and in no time, she turned blue. Struck by grief, lover picked up his love and started running here and there, holding her in his arms, begging for help on every door.

On every door he got the same answer, "love is dead". And on every door, Lover replied with the same words, "Love can't die unless Lover is alive".

While searching for help, an old man told him about the underworld where the souls would go after death. The lover, keeping his love's body in a far away vacant place rushed for the underworld.

In the underworld, he found the ruler and demanded him to return the soul of his love. The ruler however started laughing on the crazy lover until the lover started to sing. The song was so tragic that it moved the Ruler and he kept a demand in front of the lover.

" You shall have your love back, only if you cross the underworld, by her soul behind you. The condition being, until you cross the path, you cannot look at her. And if, you do, she would come back here, for eternity."

The lover started to walk, with the soul of his love just behind him. To make it even more difficult, the soul was continuously calling her lover, wanting him to look back.

After crossing halfway, the desire of the lover overtook his mind and he looked back, just to get a look. But to his shock, he saw his love, Rushing back to the depth of Underworld. The soul was lost in the darkness.

He came back to his sense and rushed to the place where he had kept her body and when he reached, he saw the body, disappearing in thin air, by his own eyes.

The incident turned him mad and he started roaming around in the village, asking everyone where his love was. The fact that he lost his love just because of his one small mistake mad him even more depressed.

Legends say that the lover is still alive till date in everyone person, constantly searching for his love....
