Sunshine

Chapter 1

Piyali

I had not expected to end up in a love story. In fact, I was one of the quietest persons and considered a nerd by everyone, that I had always thought I will not get into a romantic relationship. My plans were to just study well, pass exams, get a job and get married to whomever my parents find for me. That was what I thought will happen to me. But then, HE happened.

He shined most brightly than anybody else. He was someone who could make everyone smile and spread happiness around. You know, there will be some people, who when they are with a group of people, they join everyone together. The person will act as a sun, and as the centre point that all other people like planet revolving around. When they are there as the central point, the scattered planet will become the solar system. And, hence...he was like the sun. Breathtakingly bright... And someone named him just too right. His name was Aditya.

I met Aditya when I was last year of my college. I did say that I was sort of nerdy, right? But I was not friendless. Thanks to my best friend Esha. Esha and I became friends on the first day of college. She was a nice girl with a bright and naughty personality. First, it was just Esha and I hanging around all the time. Then Esha got a boyfriend, Rohan. And Rohan brought Esha and me to his friends' group, who were a lot. So soon, I became the popular nerd in the group, whom everyone will turn to if they need notes or have to ask doubts in studying. And by the way, Esha does not like me calling myself a nerd. "You are one of the sweetest persons I have ever met." She says, "Don't disregard yourself. And everyone loves you."

So well, I do have a lot of friends. And they love me... But no one had loved me romantically. Nor did I expect anyone to. I actually have never romantically liked any boy. Never... I never have felt my heart race, or have ever wished for a boy to look at me. I have heard my female friends say that when they were with some boy, they wish to be with him just a few minutes longer, even if that's just for 5 minutes. I have never felt so. Nor did I think I need to feel so.

But then the bright sun came into my life. Even if he might say that I was the sun who came to his life.

Aditya was Rohan's friend. But I had never met him in the 2 years Rohan and Esha were together. Esha has met him. Also has some of our other friends. And all who had met him was a fan of Aditya. And I was told about him a lot. SO I had just heard about Aditya. Never actually met him... Until that day.

"Adi is at the campus. He is coming here now." Rohan hung up the call and told us.

"In Campus as in here? Our University campus?" Esha asked.

"Or else what?" He asked back.

"He is coming here now?" Sachin asked.

"Wow, I really wanted to meet him again," Tanu said. "He is such a cool guy."

"You're drooling," Hari complained.

"Shut up. And what if I do? He is such a darling. I have never met such a cool guy in my life. If only he could see, I would not have let him go anywhere and made him mine... Such a waste."

I saw that Rohan gave Tanu an angry look. Rohan is really protective of Aditya. He does not like when people look down on Aditya because of his blindness.

"I was giving him compliments. I love Adi too." Tanu said.

"Here he is," Hari said, looking in the direction of the door. I looked up to see a handsome boy dressed in blue jeans and a white shirt walk up to us. And yeah, he was good looking. And he had a wide smile on his face. And from the way he walked, it was hard to believe that he could not see.
