Was it 2 weeks or 3, he doesn't really remember. That is how long it
took for him to woo her. Or in fact, for him to be truly, deeply, in
love with her. He would lay his eyes on her and forget the world
around him.
People would say its exaggeration, but dear friend, that's how love
works. It is strange but it is how it is.
And finally, after a lot of hints from the PRINCEZzz, he did get on
his knees. On a cold wintery evening, with nothing but a bud of rose
in his hand, and a few words up his mind, he let it out. That felt
tougher than a surprise test, but yes, he did it. The fear of
rejection, well it stayed there , but for just about 5 seconds, that;s
how long she took to answer his fears, thoughts, questions, anxiety,
and a lot of other feelings.
They never knew who was what. Was he shy to hold her hands, or was she
shy to talk to him freely. They were hesitant, they were young, and
they were in love. And was it beautiful. They were happy beyond
imagination, beyond the materialistic world, beyond fights, sorrows,
miseries .
They were beyond all and everything, they were just into each other.
That is all they cared and thought about.
Days, weeks, months pass, again, but with that ever so profound
feeling of belonging, love, care. All was good and great but where
there is happiness, the devil gets around the corner. It was just a
few months and the first upsetting moments were soon to come. A
misunderstanding of sorts, or was it a failure of trust, or maybe just
a figment of thought that went way too off the track. Well whatever
happened, it was not really meant to.
It's raining outside, and he looks at his books. The music from his
phone, shakes him back to reality. Its almost 2 a.m., and there will
be an exam tomorrow. Why do those thoughts linger around, even now,
even after 4 years. It's been a while, a long while. The randomness of
his life is now replaced by the monotony of a college going student.
Stuck between being a child and an adult at the same time. Trying to
make firm decisions, making sacrifices at the same time. It's not easy
being in college, and even difficult , being in a society, that will
not leave you for 5 minutes of your time.
The phone rings. Who could it be at this late an hour. I lazily pick
my phone, and look at the screen through sleep deprived eyes. For a
moment its a stupid feeling in my head, but then i realize it's her
calling..
"Hi, hwzz you?" , she asks. The way she makes it sound so normal, it
shouldn't but it hurts. "Hi, am good. How are you? Pretty late. All
k?", i reply. "I am fine. Yaa yaa, all is fine. Just wanted to tell
you something". What does she want to tell me this late, all of a
sudden after no calls or texts in ten odd days. "Go on", i say. "
Rohit , we can not talk anymore." Now, that is surprising, cause we
hardly have been talking for quite sometime now. I wish to talk to
her, hell i do!! For as long as possible. But, anyways, the world
doesn't run how you want it to .I have sarcasm coming down my head,
but i restrain it. She continues, " Arjun asked me out today. And i
said Yes. So we can't be in touch anymore. No texts too please. I dont
wanna be….".
I hang up.
