Sukh's POV:

I had nearly reached the college gate when

Bang!!

My books launched their flight and safely landed on the floor!!

Ouch! I yelled

But my curtsy filled mind automatically stimulated my mouth to apologize.

"I am really sorry! I didn't notice you".

I apologized without looking at him, as my brain had stimulated my hands to the task of picking the properly landed books !!
The person didn't reply

I picked my head up and found a handsome dusky complexed boy. His bright eyes captured me in it's deptness for a moment!!

They were the beautiful pairs I had ever seen. While the cherry on the cake was his muscular body.

For me exercise and workouts were a foreign contaminant which my immunity " laziness " took care of.

Surely , gym might be one of his favorite destinations! I chuckled on my thoughts ,a small laugh escaped my mouth.

I was sure the boy had noticed my chukling but he didn't react.
"Thank god!"

The boy was behaving strangely he looked tensed and was continusely mumbling something "234..."
Probably someone's number??

It was true ,a part of my unstimulated brain wanted an apology from him . Maybe the behaviour showing, curtsey of a gentleman.
Probably, a little help in picking up the books, but all my desires went in vain when he passed by me as if nothing happened.

"Hey!!" This was the reaction I came out with as using slangs was not my way. Okay ! sometimes but that too secretly.

But again that boy never replied! He was surely busy in his thoughts and mumbling. Strange are
"God's creation!"

Wait! who was that boy ?? I kept on thinking,as he somehow looked familiar to me but never reached a conclusion. So , I decided to let it go!

I reached my house and parked my Activa in garage.

As I entered in the house , I was greeted by a curious face
" mom".

"So, how was the day?? Tell me did you make new friends?? What about teachers?? How was the atmosphere?? Did you like teachers?? "

She kept on throwing questions as if it was the doomsday and her last chance to know everything.

I breathed slowly and answered her queries one by one hoping for a cheerful reaction from her side but again my all desires went in vain!!

"OK!" That was all she said and went to her territory 'kitchen'.

I sighed, that was all I could do.

******************
After few days:

Sukh's POV:

Few days have passed after the introductions. Our classes ran as per schedule. Meera and I have become very close friends. Such was the case of Shantanu and Aroop. Only Deboleena kept herself preserved. She never spoke with us , unless it was important.

We named our friendship (stealing the name of a fiction movie) " fantastic four"! Everything around me was perfect.

But "he" was no were to be found!!
Yes, the boy I bumped into.
Not even in the canteens which usually turned into a place of small gatherings. Strange! Very strange!!

At college:

It was Monday as usual the
"working day" in anticipate to every individual Sukh even considered Monday's to be her enemy.

She was in her classroom chatting with Meera about a new movie actually arguing when Aroop entered grinning.

"Hey beautifuls ! Stop arguing about me. I know , I am precious enough to fight for but both of you can't go on a date with me" he paused and spoke

"As Jiya is reserved for tuesday, Oindrila for wed, Jigyasa on thurs,Tia on Fri and Sat for Sheena while Manisha and Farah are on waiting list and Sundays I take an off".

"Moreover taking Sukh would create a hole in my pocket ." He kept on chuckling with every sentence.

Meera and Sukh were stunned momentarily forgetting there argument they bursted out laughing loud enough to catch everyones attention.

"No, actually they should jump of the windows instead even for bringing the thought of dating you!" Shantanu spoke from behind.

In their conversation they never noticed when Shantanu had come there.

Aroop saw him unbelievingly as if Shan( Nickname she gave to Shantanu) was speaking in alien language.
Why? a why? whywhywhy?? Aro (again her nicknaming) literally rapped the question.

Oh Aro Aro rororo!! Because we don't have a certificate of insanity. Neither a membership in Agra's mental hospital!
Meera rebuked highfiving Shan.

While Sukh only giggled.

Aro's jaw dropped!! It made a big circle while his eyes narrowed. His expression made him look like an "Amoeba" ready to engulf "us"!

Which made us laugh more!

Sukhs POV:

As we were laughing , Mrs Madurima entered accompanying a boy.

Wait!! Actually him, "weirdo".

Now it was my turn of jaw dropping.

Mam instructed him something and he just nodded and moved towards the back row and sat there. Weird!

Meera had noticed my reaction , she moved her brow in question.
I replied "nothing"
"Ok!"

Mam started her lectures on Anglo Saxon poetry. "Beowulf was the first poem written....."

But my whole concentration was fixed on that boy. He was scribbling something without picking his head up neither was looking at the board. 'Weird!'

I tried to concentrate hard on board but a strange force was blocking me. Suddenly he turned his head!

Busted! Oops! Our eyes locked but my guilty brain forced me to turn my gaze.

Somehow the class ended. As the commotion started I quickly turned my head and found him watching me again. I smiled and hoped he would reciprocate but...
( I need to stop having desires!)

He kept on looking at me with his special feature "weirdness". I started to feel uneasy now and was about to leave when Shan asked me to accompy him to library.

"Thank god!!!"
