I've had a huge crush on a neighbourhood boy since I was in 5th grade, but he's never known about it. He is calm, like a peaceful valley. I feel hard looking into his eyes, like looking at the sun. So I mostly bow my head before him. He used to inspire me; he was like a fantasy boy with a handsome look. He is the school's topper. I am the dullest student in the class. He is my school's senior too. I would hide myself somewhere and watch him. I remember him leading the assembly, so I am never late to school because I wish to see him for a long time. He assumed I had a crush on another boy, but he was mistaken because he had no idea of my feelings. The majority of the girls tried to flirt with him, but he was uninterested. He is the most attractive boy in our school. So I never even tried. His smile is like morning dew; it refreshes my soul. I used to go to church on Christmas and New Year's, not to celebrate but to shake his hand and show him my new clothing. I'm the one who waited a year for Christmas, only to get a chance to touch his hand with a handshake. He grew up well, became more handsome, and had a good girlfriend. We relocated our home to a nearby place. He got good marks and got a chance to study at a famous school, but at that time I hadn't even completed my 10th grade. I missed him; he went to another city to continue his higher education. I missed him and am longing for him. Whenever I saw a cycle bell sound, I ran out and checked on him, but everything was like an illusion. I noticed his presence after a long time, so I immediately changed into some new clothes, washed my face, and hurried towards him; he didn't notice. I walked silently in front of him; my eyes flooded up with tears, so I turned and walked away from him and disappeared. I'd never seen him with a female before, but that day he invited her and her friends to his home. Again, I watched through the window and cried for a whole day, and I started to hurt myself. Days pass like a wind; he haunts me in my dreams. Every year, I look forward to Christmas. I saw him. That makes me want another Christmas. I prayed a lot for him. I completed high school and college in another city. It is rare to see my sunshine, yet it is always exciting to see him. I used to look for his account on every social media network, but I never found it. I grew up well and worked for a good company. He is continuing his education. I went out to a pub with my friends. I am trying to reach out to my colleague to join us. I called her, but she didn't answer the call, so I tried another number. So I dialled another number. I called her, but she did not respond, so I dialled another number. My surroundings are really noisy, with rap music playing and people shouting, dancing, and smoking, and she eventually answered the phone. Unfortunately, I got scared and frightened when I heard a strange male voice. This is the sound I've been longing for....To be continue
