The Sweetest First Love

2. Echoes of memories!

" Pehle bhi main tumse mila hun,
Pehli dafa hi milke laga
Tune chuwa jakhmon ko mere, Marham marham dil pe laga.."

Jisha's POV

"Mumma, when will Sarthak bhaiyaa come from school ? " I inquired in a sweet tone.

" Aa jayega, beta. It's his first day of school. Eat first." Mumma replied.

( He'll come.)

" No, I'll only eat with Sarthak bhaiyaa" . I responded, while frowning my eyes.

I was only 5 years old, an innocent kid patiently waiting for my brother to come home, so that I can know everything about his first day. I was super excited, but I didn't knew that I'll never be able to forget this day.

" Jishaaa!!! I'm home." Sarthak bhaiyaa shouted.

" Bhaiya aa gye, bhaiya aa gye!" I sanged and ran toward him.

( He's home, he's home.)

" Aaram se beta, Sarthak change first, I'll serve food." Mumma shouted.

" Bhaiya, how was your first day of school? How was your school? Was it like Nobita's school? Did you made any friends? " I asked in one go.

" Relax, Jisha! How can I answer all this in one go?" Sarthak bhai laughed.

" Please bhaiya, jaldi btao na"

"I loved it, Jisha. It wasn't like Nobita's school, but it was so big. There was a big playground. I was scared at first, but then I met Kian. We sat together and immediately became good friends. We even played cricket." He said enthusiastically.

" Kiyaan?"

" Kiyaan nahi Kian!" He chuckled.

( It's not kiyaan it's Kian.)

" Kiyan" I said again.

"Nah, it's Kian. Leave it." He Spoke while laughing hard.

" Offo, Kian, ye sahi hai?" I spoke
irritatingly.

( Is it correct?)

" Yes, ab sahi hai ye." Bhai smiled.

(Yes, it is.)

" Kian, it's a beautiful name isn't it?" I chirped.

" Yes, it is princess."

....

No, no no...

Stop thinking! Stop!

I can't let it happen again...

Breathe, Jisha, just breathe, don't think about it.

You don't know him, just ignore him please, you can't let it happen with you...

" Jisha, are you okay? " Aaru asked worridely.

"Y-yes, i-im okay. "

Just breathe Jisha, just breathe!

"It doesn't seem like it, you are stuttering, are you really okay?" Aaru asked again concerned.

Hold yourself, Jisha. You can do it.

"Ha Aaru, I'm perfectly fine, I just need fresh air." I lied and ran away from there.

I need to calm down.

Just breathe,

You can do it, jisha

You can't get a panic attack not now!
