Dusk Till Dawn

Chapter 2: Moving on...

So moving on with the story, we started becoming good friends. His shyness, sportiness, his physique started attracting me towards him. Before I even knew I started falling for him, until then, only as a crush. You know dear readers, I said in the previous chapter that I think I remember him from somewhere well that night itself I figured it out where I first saw him. 2016( that same year) Navratri. He was with the same group of boys, wearing a white kurta and covered in sweat from the dancing.

Oh my god! This start of the story is filled with STD games. I think god needed one last STD to make me realise....things.

We were all tired from playing and running around. So again, this time a larger group sat down to play STD. It was his turn and I and Aneeta asked the question together, "who is your crush?" He didn't answer and went away. I chased after him, I was getting sure that the answer was me, he was so kind to me all the time and gave me so much attention. So I pressed on and asked what her name was. He said that she was in his school and that's when my hopes went down. So that he doesn't see my disappointment, I told him to tell me the name and he answered, "Muskaan". That rage and jealousy of listening to her name was unbearable. I knew at that moment that I was going to hate that girl for all of eternity. The most painful thing was teasing him so that he wouldn't doubt me. The teasing names were- Mushi-mushi, musu and so on.

I still remember that start of a beard on his face, the speed with which he used to run, his muscles, the way he used to pull-ups and push-ups. Oh god! I was falling so hard. He used to always say that he took her name only because I asked him and she was the most recent one and he doesn't have a crush on her now but then too I hate her.

But I never gave up. Dear readers, you will learn ahead that I am all about never giving up.
