I had a call from my House owner Izakaya. She informed me that my roommate have settled in my house, i mean, it's our house from now. I really not being happy to have a roommate for me. I like to live alone but... I couldn't able to afford full rent.
And the house i stay now is literally super safe. And i have no idea to leave it. That's made me a decision to have a roommate. Hopefully, that roommate should be good enough. I got up rage on Mrs. Izakaya for not informing me it before. If she informed i would taken a off to office. Now, i need to ask half day permission from my team leader. So, that i could reach there arround 7pm atleast. And i need to fetch the public bus to go my house. Which takes a hour to travel. I would have reached my house in 15min. If, I had my scooter with me which my younger brother borrowed two months back.
Finally, i reached my house by 7pm. I am really nervous to meet my roommate. I saw Mrs. Izakaya at the entrance. She smiled at me. I ran up in the stairs while yelling at her,
"why did you not inform me that my roommate have arrived, early?"
She catches up with me to my house,
"wait, let me come and introduce you!".
She pulled me back while i came to unlock the door. She opened it for me and i couldn't see who is in as she covered up. She said to that person while she pull me infront to show,
"Here, she is your roommate Keyite."
I gasped as it was man and he was Kish Keyite. We both look at eachother surprisingly,
"Avantikaaa" he shouted. I gazed at him, "Kish??"
I had never expected, that i would meet him again. I still remember him. As he was my first love.
During my highschool, when I was at class 10. He was arrived to my school as a transferred kid. He gazed like a foreigner. He had more girl fans. To be truth he was popular and handsome. Most of my girl classmates had crush on him just like me. But i don't like his attitude as he shows of himself.
Before his arrival, i was been attracted to the whole class with my micheveous. So, i literally hated him. Because he caught everyone's attention which was on me before.
Whenever i gave glance at him. I can see his eyes falls on me instantly. I literally try to avoid eye-contacts that happens unexpectedly with him. At the end day of my 10th. I was playing truth or dare with my friends for a last. I end up dare. And i asked to propose kish. Do you know, i used to denote him kish as everyone calls him Keyite. I literally want to show differ from others by calling him kish. So that he would note me, but he never did.
I went to school ground in search of him to propose. According to me, this dare is excuse for me. I had never thought to propose him. But this dare gives a opportunity to do it. With that, I could know his intentions. I found him hanging with his friends. I came near to him. He noted me and came towards me. I was totally nervous at the moment but he was looking casual. I closed my eyes, "I'm in love with you!" I yelled. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He not gazed at me stunningly. Because i know he had more proposals and mine is one of them.
"How can you expect? A boy like me can have a girl like you as a girlfriend?"
He gave a attitude laugh. He looked at his friend,
"see, this cherie wants me as her boyfriend."
He always calls me as Cherie. Insake of bullying me. Only, he denotes me with that name... As, those days, i often use the word Seri (means okay).
He bullied me more....
His friends laughed and made fun of me. I came from there. I cried whole night for that. I have never cried overnights for a boy but I did for him. I decided to not be in his sight.
So, i went another school during my class 11th and got graduation in University. Had a great job now. I started to go on for my life, but the memories lasted with him overnights. After these many years. I thought i had moved on. The moment I saw him, I realised. I still have feelings for him. To be truth, i lost interest on other boys after him. Now we both stared at eachother. I really want to act like cold to him. As, he changed me totally. Now I 'm being introvert and lack of confidence in social communications.
I'm no more a social woman.
