As crazy as it may sound, the very guy who at some point of life was
completely against the seating of boys and girls together in the
classroom would end up having a love story. And what a story it had to
be. Nothing less than filmy. Nothing less dramatic than a theatrical
hit. And the worse part, nothing as sad as another historical loss of
love. This is how, a school kid changed into a hardliner college
student, with nothing but a smile to fake, and left with nothing but
memories.
It all started after a long long summer. A new city and a new place. A
new school, with a lot of new people to know and adjust along. All
solace lay in that one face, that one smile, he would prod upon with
his eyes, and be lost in thoughts of. It all started with a smile, and
a smile, was what stole his heart away. A few months into higher
secondary school, the so called last step in the decade long journey
of schooling, he came across that smile. She was his angel, in his
thoughts and his dreams. Someone he longed for but with the cutest of
intentions. All he wanted was to sit and stare at that smile, for as
long as eternity.But would his voice actually muster up the courage to
speak to her. Well, it seemed to fail him as much as he tried. But no,
like they say, "When you want something, all the universe conspires in
helping you to achieve it." Friends, friends of friends..its a never
ending chain. And well the chain did carry his message to his
sweetheart, or was she to be his sweetheart?
In the absence of Facebook, Orkut and hi5 were his carrier pigeons and
the "yahoo messenger" was like a god given gift. And it all started
with a email id. The magic of how a person is elated with a single
"hi", can never be understood by anyone but the person themselves. The
curiosity to log-in after every 5 minutes , just in case you missed an
offline message. You don't want to exchange phone numbers, that might
be too desperate, but you so need to hear her voice. Her voice calling
out your name. So there it was , hour long chats on messenger. As soon
as he got back from school, till the time he had to leave for his
tuition classes, and back again till late at night. Thoughts, they
have no stop sign on them, neither do they listen to you. They dont
even care that they might just cause the very heart that lets them be
born , to collapse in false hopes and submerge in the darkness of ever
failing love.
Days , then weeks, they flew by, not knowing what was going to be the
outcome. Will it be a yes or a no. The hardest question ever. The
toughest decision and the even tougher thought of rejection and
depression that may follow. But he didn't know that it will be
depression and sadness, but after a long long magical night. That
would last for a really long time.
wait for LOVE STORY PART 2 :D
I HANG UP ...
