The Guy And His Bi-cycle (LOVE IN ROAD)

Chapter-1 Mission love to hate

"Isn't it obvious that they like each other? If so, why are they not confessing? Their caste is the same, their religion is the same, and both families are well off, then what's up with them?"
Said Granny Mandy to Grandpa Bubbly.

"There must be a reason. We just don't know"
"If they're gonna repeat the same mistake as us, they'll regret it. We realized it late and  now we'll die in a few years"
"Don't say that Mandy. Let's  cherish the time we have"
said Grandpa Bubbly.

Grandpa Bubbly's and Granny Mandy's love story is world-famous. It took them 50 years to realize their love for each other and in a blink of time you know they became pretty old.

But this is not their love story.it's about a guy and a girl sowing seeds of love as they pass each other every day. it's unfortunate that they're oblivious to each other's feelings.

In the backdrop of the burning red hot sun, he let his cycle move forward. He's tired from practice sessions and riding a cycle seemed more tiring. But he had to.

He wanted to see that one girl who from the outside seems nerdy and serious but is cheerful and talkative in real. He alone knows that her dimples become more visible as she talks and smiles more.

"Smile man, smile"
He said to himself. He's not forcing himself to smile he's just reminding himself, not to show his tiredness in front of her.

"How can he be so handsome ".
Said Anna to herself. The guy who's riding opposite her is her classmate Leo (high school+ Sunday school+tution center classmate).so sad that he rarely attends the three. When he does she never forgets to take a glimpse.

It's a known fact that Leo is busy with his matches and practice sessions. His sleeveless t-shirt merged with his sweat-dripping body is more than evidence. With a shoulder bag adding to his look,he's just like a Bollywood superstar.

She knows very well that he's smiling at her. But she swore not to smile back." control Anna, control".

                                  Caste, religion, and family- a ten out of ten match and even their parents are close friends. But here comes the all-time ignored deciding factor "age".It's not unusual to start school early. Her cousins were just like that. Who cares about such things? she thought at first. He cares, her parents care, whole society cares.in India or any country marrying a guy under her age is never considered great.

Anna was all set to confess her feelings a few weeks ago. But eavesdropping on a very confidential talk between her tutor and Leo's best friend changed her decision for eternity.

"He looks 20 somethin' right?" Said Jain.
"Isn't he? I thought he was late admission"
"He's just 17. shocking isn't it?"

From that day onwards she made a promise not to flirt with him. not to mention flirting she will never talk to him. She will make him hate her. Then he will make her hate him back -A meticulously woven plan of love to hate.

Day number one.
Step-1.
No smiling back.
mission  completed successfully.
She was proud of her achievement.
But holding her smile back unleashed something else.
Something dangerous.if let out, she is done forever.

No more beating around the bush. Now she's suffering from intense blushing. Her crush on him is as clear as a day.

"Is she shy?" She is not smiling today but he's one hundred percent sure that she is blushing. nobody else is here meaning -"Is she blushing because of me? Maybe Jain is right she does have a crush on me. I should just go and tell her that our feelings are mutual".

Somebody once said that we should never attempt riding two boats at the same time. And I believe that somebody's right. How can one possibly think, ride, and love at the same time? Of course, he's bound to crash into the car in front.
