Passing through the side of lake, he gazed to the
Ice-cream parlor. A sudden memory of her passed through his mind.
The lake was their favorite spot to hang-out. He would pick her up from near her home and they would go to the lake every evening. The lake was an attraction point for love-birds of the city. It was adjacent to the road full with road-side snacks, touts, vendors and small kiosks, the lake would shine out in evening in bright lights and glimmering youth. Opposite to the road were small restaurants, fast food centers and gaming parlors.
This was the place where he had planned his future with her. Walking by the side of lake hand-in-hand, they would talk endlessly about thousands of topics. He would gaze in her eyes that only saw him and she would keep her head on his shoulder. He was proud to have her. "Stay five minutes more.", he said to her. "Arrey mom will scold me if I get late again". He knew she would complain but would stay on his request.
"Ice-cream..?",he asked her. "Yes.", she said with her glittering brown eyes. It was their routine. He always offered her an ice-cream while leaving and she would never deny it. "Which one?", he asked with his hand on the glass cover of the fridge. He knew she would never go for anything else but Vanilla but it gave him an immense pleasure to repeat the question everyday for no reason. "A vanilla with cone", she replied. And then he would order vanilla for him as well even though he liked strawberry just to make her happy.
Everything was perfect. But one day she just left him and married another guy her parents found for her. She informed him of it on one last phone call and broke all contact with him.A tear came out of his eye with all the memories but he was quick to wipe it down and proceeded back to the parking.

There he was, at the lake again. But he was not alone this time, His parents had found a suitable girl for him and have asked him to take her out with him to have some conversation. He had already said yes to her disregarding any thought of another love in life. He looked at her again, dark long hair with even darker big eyes, face all blushing just with the thought of being with him, and a dimple on right cheek would company her pretty face when she smiled. "Do I even know her.?", a thought crossed his mind.Done talking with all the regular things, they started to walk to his bike when out of habit he asked," Ice-cream?". "No.", she said blushing. "Come on.",he said and took her with him to the parlor. As usual it was full with lovely couples, newly weds and children."Which one ?", he asked her with his hand on the glass. "Strawberry", she replied instantly. "I like Strawberry only." He looked at her with surprise and for the first time in day he smiled, for the strawberry he had found which was lost all the time in vanilla.
