I Would Do It for Love
Once upon a time in a far
away land, lived two families
called the Darlan family and
the Meissner family. The
Darlan family had a daughter
named Naya, while the
Meissner family had a son
named Arman. Naya and
Arman had been friends since
childhood and had lived in the
country side for sixteen
years of their life.
Unfortunately, one day, the
Darlan family was called upon
by the king as the family's
men were very fine
blacksmiths. The Darlan family
had to move to the town
because of the Kings demand.
So Naya and Arman for the
first time said goodbye to
each other. Secretly, Arman
vowed to work hard so that
he could also work in town
and finally meet Naya again.
Two years later, Arman had
mastered some skills he
thought he could put in good
use in the town. Fulfilling his
promise, he traveled to town
and started to search for
Naya. It was not a hard task,
Naya's father had been
granted the title of Duke by
the King! Hurriedly, he visited
Naya's own castle, but to his
dismay, Naya did not want to
meet him. "Maybe she is
busy," he said to himself.
His determination to meet
Naya did not waver, Arman
found work as a builder in
town. Each day, after work he
would visit Naya's castle, but
each day Naya refused to
meet him. A few weeks passed
by, Arman became sick, sick
because he could not meet
the childhood friend he so
dearly loved. He had
abandoned his work, making
his friends he made at the
working place concerned.
"Go and meet him once again
Arman! Maybe this time you
will be in luck!" said one.
"No. Maybe I was putting too
much hope for her to love me.
After all, we were just
childhood friends."
His friends decided to visit
Naya's castle themselves, to
tell her that Arman his
childhood friend, who fell in
love with her is in an ill state.
To their surprise, Naya
agreed to meet them and
heared that Arman was sick.
"Tell him to go to the forest
and find a wooden house,"
said Naya.
"And after that? What should
he do my Lady?" asked one
of Arman's friend.
"He will find the answer once
he finds the house,"
answered Naya mysteriously.
The friends came back to
Arman and told him about the
happy news. Arman suddenly
stood up from his bed and felt
refreshed as though nothing
has happened before.
The next day Arman
journeyed to the forest and
found the wooden house
Naya had mentioned. An old
lady, with hideous boils on
her face, crooked body, and
white tangled hair that was
very filthy greeted Arman.
"Excuse me, is Lady Naya
here? She told me to come
here," asked Arman.
"No, Lady Naya is not here.
But she left a message I must
tell you," said the old lady
with a croaky voice.
"What is it?"
"She said, if you really love
her, you must prove it. And to
prove it, you must marry me!"
Because of his love, the love
he had felt since childhood for
Naya, Arman did not hesitate
to answer.
"If that is what she wants, I
would do it. I would do it for
love!"
Suddenly, the old lady wailed
and ran towards a small lake
in front of the house. She
bathed her face with water
and to Arman's surprise, it
was Nayna staring back at
him. She had cleaned the
make up she was wearing and
pulled of the wig she also
wore to disguise herself as
an old lady.
"Arman, I was only testing
you. And now I know what I
must do. I will share the rest
of my life with you. Because,
because I would do it for
love!"
Arman was very happy that
Naya had the same feelings
for him. And so, they lived
happily ever after.
Moral value: True love is
very hard to find, to show it
is even harder.
