Meant To Be

Crazy Effort.

Troy somehow is gonna meet up with the girl. The thing is that how he does that. It is revealed in this chapter and they get to know each other better.

I woke up with the rays of sunlight entering into my eyes straight through the window. It was 6 am and I got ready as fast as I can to catch our college bus.

I got into the bus. With my very first step, everyone in the bus were astonished and they were all sending vacant stares at me. They exchanged few words to each other. I felt so awkward and I sat in the double seat, beside my friend Allen.

"What a surprise? Even your bike's tyre got punctured?" , he yelled in excitement.
"So you came in bus, because of that?", I asked
Then he narrated his adventurous story, which he thinks it is, of running and catching the bus at the last moment. Then he again asked me ,"Your bike is more perfect than the brand new one. It's the only vehicle in the whole town, no no , whole world which goes for service at least once  in a week.How the heck it went off?"
"No, my bike is alright, perfect as it always is.I just came in bus for a change."
"What? Change? Well I have been noticing it since yesterday."
A serious silence filled the air and I was wondering if he found about my concern for the girl.

We reached the college, and the gossips were very strong there than in the bus. Some girls rubbed their eyes to see if it's me coming to college by bus. No one could believe at first sight. I felt rather idiotic. " Man, I'm just a human and I have legs to walk" , I wanted to shout out. 

The college was completely boring and Sheera never turned up even once since she was damn busy with her new boyfriend,Peter Willams  . The time was passing very slow and almost felt like the hours hand got stuck at the same place. Finally it was four and I walked all along to the park, wishing she would be there even today. She was sitting there, on the very same bench, having the very same book and talking to herself, having those leaves in her hand. I took the other bench, far from hers, so that she would not notice me. This time before she started saying her dialogue about the leaves, I started and she too was saying that at the same time. It was fun predicting the words she would say, and mumbling to yourself. It almost matched and finally in the end, she got a yellow leaf this time. 

She played with the kids and a little later, came back to read the book. I tried to gain her attention by talking with my friend in mobile about the homeworks, assignments, new model cars, etc. But she was busy in her book that she almost hid her entire face inside it. Only her raven black hair was gracefully falling onto her shoulders. I walked by her side and dropped my wallet on the ground, hoping she would pick it up and give to me. But I didn't hear a single voice calling me behind and some creepy feeling filled in my stomach. I walked much faster than before and sat in the bench opposite to hers which was about 10 feet away. I found her still burying her face inside the book, as before. She didn't seem to know about the dropped valet. I was wondering what to do. My valet had all my pocket money and I felt like silently going back and taking it before any one runs away with it. Before I could think of another stuff, that same street dog, I was about to hit the previous day, came and took my valet in its mouth and started tearing it. Without my knowledge I shouted like hell and tried to pull my valet from it. It was nearly like a tug off war. My girl saw me for the first time and she started laughing her heart out which made her chocolate brown eyes turn misty . I felt ashamed, flirty, shy and angry all mixed up at the same time.

She got up from the bench, walked up towards me with her hands covering her lovely smile. I left the valet. The dog was having it in it's mouth. She patted the dog ,saying, " Please dobby, leave it. Give it to me." And..... It did.. " What??? "I said with my eyes filled with surprise and I sent shocking stares from the girl to the dog; and then from dog to the girl back. " Good boy", she said to the dog and gave the valet back to me, " Here take it. Better keep it safely from now on" said she, with her graceful smile. I took it from her with the brightest smile of my life showing all my thirty two teeth. 

"Thanks a lot. Is that your pet?"

"Hmmm... kind of." she said and the dog went away form us and started to play on the blue side in the kid's play area.  That was my best chance. I sat with her on the same bench with some amount of bench space and the book in between us.

"Hi. My name is Troy, and nice to meet you."

"I'm Evangelin . Nice to meet you too.", she said laughing for what happened between me and the dog,dobby.

"Do you like Harry Potter, so much ?"

"Yes. that's why I named him dobby" 

"Wow, even me I love the magic. I love fantasy books and movies. The friendship." 

Actually I never saw Harry Potter or read the book, even for once in my lifetime.

"Oh. Is it? My favorite part is the chamber of secrets. What about you/"

"Uh.... I love almost each and every scene in that. I'm a big fan. "

" Well, I can see it " she said in her sarcastic tune. I guess she found out that I don't even have a single clue on what she's talking about.

And then we talked, we talked and talked and that went so long. But I never knew that the time passed very fast and its almost 8 now. 

"It's very dark now.I'll walk with you till your house. By the way, where is your house?"

"It's okay I can go alone. It's in Willow street." 

"What? That's too far. I'll come with you"

And we took a taxi to reach her house.Then, she invited me to come inside.
Her house wasn't that big. It seemed a little old. On her door , it read, 
"SMILE - Cuz it is the best you can wear."

That of course, brought a mischievous smile at the corner of my lips.

"Thanks. It's too late. My house is in the opposite direction. I have to go to Berin Street. So I'd better leave now. Tomorrow's Sunday. Will come for sure. See you. Good night"

" Thanks for coming along. Take care."

And then I left. While coming back to my house. I suddenly realized something.Oh damn. How the hell I forgot to ask for her phone number ? Ok my first mission tomorrow is a straight adventure to willow street, but not with my bike. I want to know if she values me for my own character and not to take me as granted for my money. The lesson I've learnt from Sheera.

I reached my home by 10 and my mom started shouting , " Allen, Sheera, everyone. I've been calling to ask where you have been. You never attend my call alone. Where have you been?"

"Got a new friend mom. The girl who looks exactly....uh.. her name is Evangelin." I didn't want to mention about her old friend,Renna. Because, that brings something very strong into her heart.

"Green Tea? As usual?"

"Yep."

And I went up to my room, trying to find Evangelin on Facebook, Twitter, google, orkut, etc. But all my efforts failed. After having my green tea, I slept with a satisfied smile. It is really great to sleep with good thoughts after a lovely day.
