It was the time of the evening, a girl was seen playing with her another friend in a park. They were laughing and enjoying with each other.

"Ziva catch me!" Ziva's friend Manvi said. Manvi started running while Ziva was chasing her. While running Ziva's eyes went on a photo of a boy who's same as the age of Ziva and Manvi who were at the age of 10. The boy was handsome and cute. Ziva didn't wanted to move her eyes from him. She was staring at the photo continuously and admiring the boy.

"Whose photo might be this?" Ziva said to which Manvi replied " Leave it na...kisi ka bhi ho... let's continue playing!". Ziva not knowing what to do kept the photo in the pocket of her jeans and started playing again with Manvi.

Now it was getting dark so they both went to their houses. Ziva opened her shoes outside the house and went directly to her room ignoring her mom who's shouting on her to wash her feet and hands. "Kya hoga iss ladki ka" her mom said in frustration.

Ziva took out the photo of the boy and again started looking at the boy. " He's so handsome and cute...his eyes are making me crazy over him" Ziva said in her mind, when a thought came in her mind and she grinned widely. "I will marry him when I grow up" she said to herself and put the photo close to her heart.

She could hear the voice of someone coming to her room, she knew it was her mom because only she and her mom lives in the house, her father lives in another city. She quickly hid the photo inside her personal diary and kept in the cupboard. Her mom came into her room and said "How many times I have to say you...go and wash your hands and feet first then enter inside the room! Now go and then I'm giving you chowmin". She love to eat chowmin, it was her favourite food. Everytime when her mom makes chowmin she become so happy but this time she didn't showed any reaction and just went to the washroom. Her mom got confused but shrugged it off.

Ziva was sitting on the dinning table and eating chowmin and was thinking about the boy. Her mind was struck on the same question that what his name would be. Her whole day passed like this while thinking about the boy. At night, she went to her room and took out her diary and she started writing the diary as it was her daily habit. She wrote about how she got the photo of a boy and whom she decided to marry.

------------------

Years passed on like this. She became so attracted to the boy just by a photo of her that too, childhood pic of the boy. She started being away from her friends and she made the boy actually his pic her friend. At night, she used to share each and everything with the boy that's happening with her. It seemed like the photo has became her life and the only thing her life depends on.

Now she was 26 and a well-known doctor even in the other cities. As she grew up and became independent, her parents wanted her to get married so that her life would be settled. She was not ready for the marriage but her parents wanted her to get married. They chose a boy named 'Aditya Sharma' for her and today they called him with his family to their house so that they could finalise the marriage if Ziva agree. They were sure that Ziva will agree as Aditya is not only a good looking boy and also a kind and good-hearted boy who'll be perfect for Ziva.

It was the time of the morning, Ziva's parents were in the hall and they called Ziva there. Ziva' mom spoke up "Ziva we have chose a boy Aditya Sharma for your marriage and today he's coming to see you!". "But Mom-" Ziva spoke up but she cut by her father's word "Ziva we know you don't want to marry now... but someday you have to! So meet Aditya... he's a very good person... he's a famous buisness man and the last decision will be yours if you didn't liked him then we won't finalize the marriage! Please beta meet him for us!". Ziva nodded not knowing what to say and she went to her room and locked the door from inside.

She took the photo in her hand and tears rolled down her cheek. She said to herself "No I can't marry Aditya. I will marry you...only you! I will refuse mom dad saying that I didn't liked Aditya! You are my First Love and last love!" Ziva said looking at the photo.

It was 11 am and the time for Aditya and his family to come to Ziva's house. Ziva was ready in her traditional outfit to meet them.

Just then, the bell rang and Ziva's mom opened the door. It was Aditya with his family. Ziva's mom and dad greeted them and asked them to come inside. They came inside and sat on the couch. They were having chit-chat when Aditya's mom said "Where's Ziva? Call her!" Ziva's mom nodded and went to Ziva's room and spoke to Ziva " Ziva they are calling you out so come out ok and properly... I'm going" Ziva's mom left without letting Ziva speak...Ziva sighed and came out of the room.

As she came out, she saw a handsome boy whose eyes were same as the boy in the photo.

She got lost in Aditya but then she remembered that she has to refuse Aditya. She came there and greeted Aditya's parents. Ziva was quite nervous now. Aditya's parents asked her to sit and they started talking with her and asking her questions. While Aditya was sitting quietly talking glances of Ziva. Aditya said in his mind "She's very beautiful...her nature also seems to be so good...the way she's talking with mom and dad! I'm getting lost in her... I'll agree for this wedding. I just hope that she too does!".

Aditya's thought got broken by his mom words "Aditya Ziva go and talk in personal! Know each other properly and then teel us your decision". "Yes Ziva take Aditya to your room and you both can talk there" Ziva's mom said to which Ziva nodded and asked Aditya to follow her. They went to Ziva's room, Ziva asked Aditya to sit down. They started to talk with each other and Ziva found Aditya really a nice person so he decided to tell him every thing. "Aditya you are really a nice person... You deserve a very nice girl... actually you know what when I was 10 I was playing in the park and I got a photo there of a boy whom I liked a lot... And I promised myself that if I will marry then I will marry only him... I am sorry I can't marry you... you'll get someone more good than me" Ziva said while showing the photo to Aditya to which Aditya chuckled and took out his phone. He showed a pic to Ziva on his phone, Ziva got shocked on seeing the pic. It was the same pic which Ziva has and which it there were many other pics too of the same boy.

"Do you know him?" Ziva asked Aditya and Aditya showed him another pic in which the same boy was standing wearing birthday cap and on his cake was written 'Happy Birthday Aditya'. Ziva looked at Aditya and asked "Is it you?". Aditya nodded and said "This is the photo I lost in my childhood" and Ziva hugged him tightly. "I can't believe this!" Ziva exclaimed, "You have to!"  Aditya said. They both kept on talking about many things. "So now also will you refuse for this marriage" Aditya said sarcastically and Ziva hit his arms lightly. They went outside and agreed to the marriage. They were very happy so were their parents.

After 2 months, they got married and the photo of Aditya which Ziva had, Ziva framed the photo and put it on the wall. "This one photo led us together" Ziva said looking at the photo frame on the wall, Aditya came and back hugged her and said "Hume toh milna hi tha...I am your First Love!
