Lost Love

Ahaan

Today was an exhausting day. I had to help my parents with their chores till noon. My brother Amit is asking me to accompany him to an exhibition hosted by our uncle. I don't understand why he is interested in those things. I literally hate these things. Anyway I can't let him go alone so, yeah I'm gonna go with him.

Amit went to explore that boring exhibition while I stood at a corner watching these people. Just then I noticed a girl staring at an artwork of a night sky. She's been standing there, staring for 10 minutes. I decided to walk up to her. I stood behind and said "Hey, little girl." And she turned.

To my surprise, she's my junior at school. That quiet girl who barely take her eyes off the books. I saw her for the first time when she was in 4th grade and I was in 5th. Even then she was immersed in books.

Today, she looks so beautiful. Oh god, she is beautiful.

I think she's a bit angry with me addressing her as a little girl. Her reply was that she's not a little girl. I paused for a second. I think I fell for her. I even told her that she looked alluring like the magnificent night sky. And she walked away. No way, she thought that I've gone mad or something! Most probably yeah, she might have thought that. I can't lose her. I ran behind her. I grabbed her hand and pulled her close to me. I got to know that her name is Ishita. Even her name is so beautiful just like her. I told her my name. Also, I told her that is was nice meeting her. I heard her murmuring that it wasn't that nice. But just out of curiosity I asked her what was it and she told me that I'm still holding her hand. Just then I realized that I was holding a bit too tight. Is she hurt? No way, I can't hurt her and I won't. I will never let go of that hand. After I released my hold she walked away but I grabbed her hand again and told her to meet me at the café tomorrow. I totally forgot that we had class tomorrow. I hope she will show up.

I can't even sleep at night. I am thinking about her. She looked so pretty. Her eyes, smile, hair, everything about her is beautiful, even her name; Ishita.
