'may be someday or maybe not' was the last conversation we had.
He did not call me. Anxious I tried and tried but was passed to voicemail.
Yet i was standing here in the middle of road waiting, and uselessly hoping that he would come. Raindrops made their way to my face wetting me completely.
i stepped back and made my way to the chapel. Nowadays I prayed every single day for hours in the chapel asking god or may be begging him to make things right.
Mom called me yesterday saying she miss me and study for the entrance. Sara also called and told me to stay away from him . She is scary when mad -she actually threatened me. I don't know why she dislike him. Sometimes she acts as if i am a fragile doll but I love her.
When Aarav told me about her marriage I started imagining about all the possibilities of her getting married to Sameer. What it would be like to get married? I never thought about getting married in general and love was also not an option until today but Aarav's absence made me realize what love is.
The dictionary says Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.
"Falling in love is like jumping a really tall building,
You brain says no but your heart tells
You can fly."
Ms. Ramaya once recited a poem in the class, it was
"When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;-then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink."
As I returned from the chapel I saw Heady talking to someone. He was talking to a girl my age may be. The girl was 5'6 be with a petite frame and admirable feminine character. Her eyes were beautiful which may hypnotize you with its green gold shades. Looking at her my own insecurities made their way.
I didn't realize how long I was staring at her. So not to look as if I am a lunatic, i stepped to turn back but heady called my name.
"Yes, sir" I responded.
"Miss samyra this is Miss Aisha she will be joining our school after summer but will be staying here for a few day during the vacation to attend extra classes. So, I ask you to accompany her and introduce her to the others who are still here as she is also taking medical."
"Okay sir"
"Oh... and Miss Mittal there was a call for you from Okata. They will call again so ..urgh.. take it."
My mind started screaming 'Was the operation successful? ' I thought. I wish Aarav will be fine. He promised me to return. My thoughts were so engaging that I didn't notice that heady left and the girl besides me was calling me.
"...uhh hi!" I stuttered "My name is Samyra I am also me student."
"I am Aisha. Nice to meet you. And why are you not on vacation?"
"Oh it's nothing I just stayed back'"
We talked a bit. She was sweet but something was wrong. My conscience was making me dizzy. I showed her our library, dorm rooms (which might is now hers too) and the gym. Till the time we took a mini tour of the campus it was already 8pm I suggested her to have dinner in the mess. Sid was already sitting there, he didn't even acknowledge me. But Aisha was already jumping up and down to meet everybody.
"Hi Sid, this is Aisha she is joining our school after summer." He nodded at me and extended his hand to Aisha.
Halfway through the dinner.
"Didi". Risa was standing at the end of hall
"Didi there is a call for you from ok..oka..okata.!"
"So here goes the daily drama" Sid muttered.
Aisha gave a confusing look to Sid and asked to accompany me as she was also leaving.
As we reached the office my heartbeat increased, sweat was all over me. I took hold of the receiver and clenched it as if my whole life depended upon it.
"hello?"
There was sound of soft breathing
I didn't say anything. Neither did he.
We stood there silent as raindrops fell on the window and the clock ticked to 9.00.
Dips...dip...dip...dip.!
"Samyra the operation was successful." He said.
"Shhhshhh... don't cry." I register that I was crying till now.
"Hmmm.. Aarav come back!"
"I will come . I will."
"Are you okay ?!"
"Yeah but I miss you"
"I miss you too."
"Hmm. I have to hang up now."
"bye" beep. the line became silent.
"I love you. Come back." I muttered.
The night flew by and I was not able to sleep a wink.
