Renukha...🍀

Tuesday 6. 30 pm

Sighing, I opened my rough book and began writing the imposition that our Physics mam have asked me to do so. In today's test, I wrote quite well but I had forgotten some important points. Which is why she had given me this imposition so that I wouldn't forget it.

After a couple of minutes, my hands started to ache and I just placed the pen to rest on the page, tilting my attention to the proceeding darkness on the outside.

I could see people walking down the lane of the road, a bright smiles on their faces as they spoke with their loved ones.

It must be a nice feeling to have someone by your side. I longingly glanced at them...

In school, I do have friends but...I just couldn't relate to them. I do speak and help them to my level best, but still, I could not feel comfortable with them.

Must be something wrong with me.

Nope...I shouldn't think about negative things always.

Squinting my eyes and staring at the dipping sundown the horizon, I reminisced about one of the lovely moments I had with Karthik.

Rewind to when I was 11 years old.

Karthik was in his 12th standard while I was in 6th. It was our school sports day. The whole arena around the ground was bustling.

To earn benefit from the crowd, our school had arranged a temporary stall, with ice creams, snack items and sip ups of various flavors, etc...

That day, Karthik looked so good with his blue jersey and sweat-glistening body. Literally, every girl was drooling over him. And no, I'm not lying.

He was on the football team and apart from him, other brothers were also very handsome. During their match, the audience numbers were enormous.

I was also there. I was in the red group meanwhile Karthik was in the blue. The match was between the red and blue groups. But I prayed the blue team to win and I internally screamed when his team won the match.

After their match, the guys were spread out in the arena and were just roaming around.

On the other hand, I was in the stall, squeezing myself between the students to buy a vanilla sip up before the stock gets over. It's in high demand!

Finally, somehow I bought it and got myself out of the throng. Then I happily tore open the head of it with my teeth and started to sip on it. The vanilla flavor blessed the pathway to my stomach and a grin smudged onto my face.

Then I was happily wandering around the arena like the kid I was, when unexpectedly, Karthik jogged to me.

I still remember his sweat-etched face and body, wet hair bouncing, as he reached towards me with a smile.

And before I could comprehend anything, he had snatched away the sip up which I had been sipping on and still jogging past me, he casually put that between his lips.

I turned around, stunned by his act and he just looked me over his back with my sip up in his mouth and winked at me with a smile.

Now, how could I, the little child, would have stopped herself from falling for him?
