The two met at a traditional Manipuri festival, where Nungshi's dance troupe was performing. Irom was immediately smitten by Nungshi's elegance and poise on stage. As their eyes met, the air seemed to vibrate with an unspoken connection. Nungshi, too, felt an inexplicable pull towards Irom, with his rugged charm and fearless smile.
As the Manipuri proverb goes: "Eikhoigi khongthang nadani, phajana leire" - "The moon may wax and wane, but true love remains forever."
Nungshi smiled, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "You scored long ago, my love," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
One fateful evening, as they sat together on the lake's shore, Irom turned to Nungshi and said, "My love, I want to play a special polo match for you. If I score a goal, will you be mine?" Nungshi's heart skipped a beat as she nodded, her eyes shining with tears.
As the days turned into weeks, their paths continued to cross. Stolen glances turned into lingering gazes, and casual conversations blossomed into deep, meaningful talks. The language of their love was a subtle blend of Manipuri and heartfelt emotions.
