Dating for a Camera

I had been in an international shopping mall of another country, looking for a particular model of camera from an international manufacture.

I searched for this one model in a number of shops wide along a number of countries..

In this mall I saw one. But it was slightly defective.

On searching I saw another one hiding in a rack. I asked for that one. The sales lady told it was selected by another customer.

On my compel she handed it over to me.

I looked through the view finder. I saw an amazingly beautiful girl and I clicked.

She came fast to me and asked for that camera. I told her I like to get that camera. She had told that she want it. Then I offered “I shall take both”.

She smiled.

I took her to a nearby restaurant for a cup of tea. We chatted for hours. On departure she gave me her cell number. We were on contact for more than one month.

One fine morning I landed on her town. While returning after three weeks she was with me. And now I am using that camera and the first lady in the snap of that camera is also with me.

After so many years she gave me three beautiful children also.
