எங்கே எனது கவிதை?
கனவிலே எழுதி மடித்த கவிதை!
(Where is my poetry?
The poetry I had written in dreams!)
The time continued its never ending journey, seamlessly weaving the days into months. The board exams had concluded. But, Krishna was still attending his medical entrance coaching classes. As it was their much anticipated board exams results day, he skipped the coaching class and headed towards the school to unravel the results.
On the way to school, amidst the morning bustle, he spotted Paayal who was also heading towards school. His face immediately beamed with happiness, as it was almost one month since he met her. They never met each other after the board exams, as Krishna had full-time coaching class, though they were speaking through telephone often.
He pedaled his bicycle eagerly towards her and halted beside her with a sudden break. "Hi, good morning." He greeted.
Paayal jerked, turning her face towards him and beamed in surprise, "Krishna,"
"How are you? Sorry. I couldn't call you for the last five days. I was busy with model tests," He forced a smile.
"It's okay, Krishna. I am fine. I knew you would be busy. That's why, I too didn't try to reach you by telephone. But, I miss you a lot. When is your entrance exam? Have they announced the date?" She pouted.
He smiled warmly, understanding her. "I too miss you a lot. But Don't worry. They announced the entrance exam date. It's on the 26th of next month. Only 40 days more! Once I complete the exam, shall we plan a holiday trip to Ajay's home for a week? Let's compensate for all our separation in our holiday trip and make a lot of memories." Krishna suggested and thought, "Let me confess my love to you during the trip and surprise you."
"Okay. Let's go," Paayal nodded her head vigorously like a child in agreement, her face brightening up and thought, "So, Let me confess every emotion of mine at the same place where I realised my love. I hope, You will accept my past and accept me. I hope a new chapter will unfold in our lives after a month."
"What are you thinking?" Krishna intervened in her thoughts.
She pursed her lips and then forced a smile. "I want to tell you something. I will confess it during the trip. You complete your exams first."
Krishna nodded with a mischievous smile, and thought, "Are you planning to confess your love? Yes, it seems. But, darling, I will confess my love before you and make you stunned."
Meanwhile, Paayal's attention shifted to a nearby hawker selling soft pink fluffy cotton candies.
"Krishna, shall we have some cotton candy?" She asked excitedly.
He giggled, "Cotton candy now?! When we are on the way to check our results! Aren't you nervous?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "I am confident, I will pass with 80%. That's enough for me. Are you afraid about your results?" She asked.
"Hmm... I'm a bit nervous. Because, I have to get a medical seat. I should score at least 90% for it. I have given my best in all the exams. But the nerves are real," He confessed.
In an attempt to divert his nervousness, she giggled, "Don't worry Mr. Brainy. You will get passed with more than 95%. I know, the toppers always act as if they don't know anything. But, they will get high marks."
Krishna playfully glared at her with a pout.
"Okay, Shall we have cotton candy at least after knowing the results??" She persisted.
