You Belong To Me

Chapter 21 : My First Love -- II

After talking about pete and others for a while, we were working together to set up the place for fire

camp. Then we both settled in a place after completing the work, i find Disha always doing some funny

mischief things.. She was doing something in zacky's tent, i went near her and asked, " what are you

upto".she jumped in fear, " oh my god!! You scared me, okie dont tell zacky, i'm going to put this toy

spider under his bedsheets".

After completing the mission, we went back to the lake,

Four years back,

Me and charles were walking to the lake, on the way we were making fun of zacky, after reaching the

lake we went in separate ways. I was busy taking some photos, after a while i sat near the lake and

started to clean my camera lenses, then charles came to me and said, " hey Disha, are you free now"...

I smiled and nodded, he was standing there without saying anything but i can see that he has

something on his mind so i asked him, " do you want to say something, Charles"...

Charles : hum yes!! No!! I mean Nothing..no.. Am sorry.

He walked away from me, then he again came back and asked me, "why do you love photography this

much"... I turned toward him and said, "This is what you wanted to know"... He looked at me with firm

look and said, "if you dont want to tell me, fine i can understand". ... I asked him to sit next to me and

said, " you know you can ask me anything right not only zacky you people are my friends too" ... He sat

next to me to hear about my past...i started to tell him the person who gave me this passion.

Disha : After my parents passed away i came to live with my grandparents, i felt so lonely, hated

everything and everyone around me... So oneday my granddad took me to this lake, we traveled for

hours to reach that place, i dont know why he took me there, with confused look i asked him, "what you

gonna do here". He knelt down and said, " not me, its you who gonna do something here".

16 years back,

Lil Disha : Me!! Why!! What!?.

Granddad : Tell me what can you see in this place ( showing the near meadow).

Lil Disha : Grass!? Some insects!? . Really. Dont tell me you took me here to show these grasses.

Granddad : Ha ha ha... You are just like your Father. ( Taking out his camera). Wait!!

Took some pictures of the grasses,

Now tell me what you see?? ( showing the pictures he took).

Back to four years,

Those pictures my granddad showed me that day changed my life completely.... Charles asked with

curious look on his face, " what did you see".. I smiled and said, " he showed me ants taking food,

some insects fighting with each other and the last picture he showed was really breathtaking, he

showed me a droplet,, inside that the mirage of sun was captured and a small grasshopper was trying

to drink it" . After showing me those pictures he said, " i took you to this place because i know your

angry with your parents, i know you are sad since they left you, but my little Disha, whatever you do

please don't hate them, you said they smiled when they left you, but just like the medows you saw

earlier, you had only seen their smile but deep inside they loved and love you more than you can

imagine ... So please dont carry hatred and forget their love ".

To the present,

Natalie : so you fell in love with her after that.. I mean i fell in love with her granddad after hearing this,,

seriously!! .... I wont be surprised if you did too..

Everyone glaring at Natalie..

Charles : ha ha ha!! Not because of that, but because of the words she said after that..

Natalie : what did she say??.

Cassy : Actually she didnt said to us, she asked us.... She asked us back,, when we asked her, " what

was her own reason to love photography".

Pete : I still remember them.. she asked us, "Do you guys know that there is no one in this world who

doesn't smile when a photo is taken,,,, atleast to act or to show himself or herself happy infront of

others they smile, they laugh....Thats the power of a camera....and i want to use this power to make This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Natalie : God!!! Now i understood. Why you love her.... (pointing at charles).
