Its year 2060 people have started to settle on Mars. Life
has come to Mars. People who were rich have started to move there. Everything
has changed except the meaning of word love and emotions attached to it. My
love story started 6 years back in 2054 when I met a girl named Mansi in My MBA
College. We both were in the same class and moreover lived nearby at
Indiblogger Apartments in Saket, Delhi. We used to sit together in the
classroom, go to canteen together, studied together prepared notes together. One
day we both realized that we can’t live without each other and decided to get
marry once we get our jobs after completing our MBA.
We both completed our MBA in 2056 and I started looking for
a job to settle. But, my bad luck I could not get one for almost one year. At
last, I got a job in a publication house as a Marketing manager not at a good
salary but something was better than nothing. It’s 22nd March 2058 I
received a call from Mansi she said that ‘I and my family are moving to Mars’.
His father was shifting his business to Mars because of excise free planet and
tax-free planet. I was shocked and said ‘Let’s meet and talk’. The very next
day we met at a place called B-bar in Saket. She said that ‘She has to go’. We both were in
tears when we left from the restaurant.
I could not meet her for 2 years as I could not afford to go
to Mars. We used to talk on satellite phones. One day she told me that her
father has fixed up her marriage with a Punjabi Boy in Mars and she is getting
married next month. She told her father about me but her father didn’t like me
as I was not very rich. It took five days to reach Mars via London through
British Airways Space Shuttle other companies took around 10 days. I started
arranging money for my travel to Mars.

Five days were left and I was still short of 1 Lakh Rupees.
I sold my gold coin which my father gave me as a good luck charm. Now I had all
the money but I was short of time only four days were left. I lost all hope as
it took five days to reach Mars. I was helpless then suddenly a news flash came
on my mobile that British airways has started the fastest Space Shuttle to Mars
which takes only two days to reach Mars from London.

Now, my route was from New
Delhi -> London -> Mars. I booked my tickets and left for Mars. Thanks to British Airways I reached Mars on time. At the
same time I received a message on my satellite phone and I was very happy. I
told her father that we both love each other very much. He said ‘My son you
don’t have a good job in your hand and you are not so rich how you will manage
my daughter expenses’? I said to him that just a few minutes ago I received a
message and I have got job in a billion dollar company called ‘Indiblogger.in’
at very high pay scale. He fixed my marriage with her daughter.
It’s 28th April 2060 and you are cordially
invited to our marriage at Mars on 2nd May 2060. Use British airways Space Shuttle the fastest
and the most comfortable experience.
