It's been three days, and I still don't know what's wrong.
Everything was right till the night we both spent in my flat, then why is she behaving so distant.
Did I do something wrong?
I must have. I must have hurted her somehow, that's why she is ignoring me.
And believe me, it feels like hell.
Her ignorance.
I called her numerous times, but she didn't pick up. I messaged her. But still I heard nothing from her end.

I had to talk to her. One on one. I'll apologize for whatever I did. Par usse aise naraz nahi dekh sakta mei.
She didn't come for one clinic and I was all mad for the day.
Her presence, it has unknowingly began to affect me so much.
(I can't see her being distant from me.)

Even today, I saw her ignoring me all the while.
At first I thought I'll talk to her right away, but then looking at her classmates and my seniors around I gave up on the idea.
I had texted her to meet me at our place, there too she didn't turn up, kyuki usne woh message dekha hi nahi.
(Because she didn't see the message.)

What's wrong?

I have to set things right. This can't continue. It is driving me insane. She has become a part of my living now.
I can't stay away from her.
I don't know what you call this. Obsession or whatever in the hell.
But.
I just can't stay away from her like that.

But, what if she needs the space?
What if she herself doesn't want this.. This all that we have?
Arghhh..

Currently, I was in sports room.
I wanted her to be here. My carrom match was to begin in moments, and I was strongly praying that she somehow comes here.

I was just done with the trial match and it was okay.
Just as I was leaning on a wall and watching the game, my heart suddenly began to pound hard as I looked up, she.
She's here.
After three freaking days, she was finally looking at me.

Is this how the earth feels when it rains after a scorching summer?
Maybe.

But, just as if something hit her, she looked away.
What is wrong Shri!
Please, let's talk.
Let's sort it out. Please.
Ab nahi saha ja raha... Taklif ho rahi hai Shri.. Teri iss berukhi se. Bohot jyada taklif ho rahi hai.
(Now I can't handle it any longer. It's paining. Your ignorance is hurting me, Shri)

I settled down, the match was to start, but I waited. I couldn't start before seeking her assurance. Haina?
And, when she finally looked, directly into my eyes, we were both stucked.
The peace. The homeliness.....

As I started, I gave it my best. After all she was watching, and I had to perform my best. Right?

Strike after strike, I won.
Damn! See I always believed that she is my good luck. She is.
I wanted to go to her. I wanted to hear words of praise from her.
But before I could get up, I was crowded by God knows how many people.
Arghh.
I shaked hands, I wanted to get over this as quickly as possible and return to her.
But as I made out of the crowd, I realized that she was gone.
