The story revolves around two strangers whom I encountered through my mother. These two individuals helped me understand the true essence of love shared between a boy and a girl. Through their experiences and perspectives, they revealed how genuine emotional connection, trust, and understanding form the foundation of real love.
"Alright… let the story begin. Are you ready to hear the truth—
the truth behind what happened,
and the reason I spoke those words?
The beginning of this story traces back to an unexpected encounter—one that initially filled me with confusion and irritation. My first interaction with the stranger was marked by a sense of uncertainty, as if I were facing a series of unanswered questions.
To understand the context of this meeting, it is essential to first introduce the primary link between us: my mother.
Although every mother possesses unique qualities, my mother stands apart due to her involvement in the political sphere. She actively worked within the BJP party, a role that may sound unusual at first, but it carried specific reasons and motivations that I will explain later in this narrative.
During her political engagements, my mother formed a significant friendship with a fellow party member—a woman whose influence extended beyond professional boundaries. Over time, they developed a strong personal bond.
This woman had a daughter.
That daughter became the stranger in my life—
the catalyst for a series of events that would eventually reshape my understanding of relationships and human connection.
I was not calling her a stranger — instead, I was introduced to her as the stranger.
That is where it all began.
Before continuing the story, there is something I must clarify.
Earlier, I introduced only one stranger—the girl connected to my mother through her political circle. But naturally, a question arises:
"If one stranger is a girl… who is the other stranger?"
Yes, of course.
You would wonder about that.
So let me explain.
The second stranger was not someone from my family's connections.
He entered the picture through her—the girl I mentioned in Chapter One.
He was her friend, and because of that, he became a stranger in my life as well.
In simple words:
The first stranger was the girl.
The second stranger was the girl's friend—the boy.
Both of them appeared in my life unexpectedly, and together they became the two unknown individuals who would later influence my understanding of emotions, relationships, and human behaviour.
