" Hey, Who is he ?"

"Our college senior"

"Hmm. I see"

"But you know one thing ?!"

"What ?"

"You know Alex"

"Our classmate ?!"

"Ya. He is Alex's cousin"

"WHAT"

" Hey Riya. Slow down"

Me and my two friends were chatting. Then I saw him there.

I was studying in school when I saw him for the first time. I didn't see him for a year after that.

Later I took college admission for graduation. A few days later I saw him in the college garden.

Since then I used to go to the college garden just to see him.

But never wanted to talk to him. I didn't know why but whenever I saw him I had a smile on my face.

After Few Days.

I and my two friends Tina and Jen were in the classroom.

As the lecture was off, some of them went out and some of them sat chatting in the classroom.

"Riya. What are you thinking?"

"Who else! She must be thinking about him. AM I RIGHT, Riya !!"

My friends used to tease me with his name. But I did not pay attention to them.

They kept teasing me for some time, but after a while, seeing me engrossed in some thought, they became serious and started asking.

"Riya, we were just joking."

"Don't take it seriously."

"We will never tease you with his name again. Really!"

I said ignoring them.

"You tease me with his name....I love your teasing me with his name..... I come from the garden.......just to see him every day.....But......"

"BUT......?!" They both waiting my next word

"But.....I am confused"

"For what ?"

"Umm....I love him ?.....or....I like him ?"

"What you mean by that ?"

Tina asked me confusing and Jen look at me seriously.

" I mean......I don't love him. I like him."

"RIYA ! Do you even know what you are talking about?"

She said angrily.

"Jen. I am serious. And I tell you all this after thinking it through. And my mind is set. "

I explained to them. But there was a lot of confusion on their faces. So I continued.

"I always feel like I should keep seeing him. From the time I entered the college till the time I left the college gate, I only had thoughts about him in my head. But, I never want to know more about him. Never....."

I was about to speak further when the professor came and our conversation stopped.

The professor started teaching us and I was completely absorbed in the teaching.
