NOSTALGIC

He.

I had my running trousers on, a hoodie and my hair was tied in a high ponytail. Mommy was still asleep. It was 4:00 a.m I put on my addidas shoes and my headphones. I was ready for facing another day.

As I came out of my house, I looked at the sky and inhaled the air. Then I started running. "Hall of Fame" was banging on my ears.

"You can be the greatest, you can be the best, you can be the kingkong banging on his chest,
You can be the world, you can beat the world
You can talk to god go banging on his door......"

"Ouch!" I screamed. Someone just had pushed me. As I turned to look who that was, I found a handsome young man standing right infront of me.

"Sorry! Are you hurt?" He asked.

Not after I saw you, I wanted to say.

"No, I am good" I smiled.

"Okay, see you then and yeah, nice to meet you" he said and continued his jogging.

I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Yippee! I have got a new crush, I wanted to shout but I didn't. I placed myself on a bench in the park area. I looked at my watch and it was just 4:30 a.m. Well I had enough time to recall my teengae days. Oh! I am still a teenager, I am just 18.

*******************

What I know now, I wish I had known back them when I was 16 . All the mistakes that I had commited wouldn't have ever happened. But its because of those mistakes, what I am today. Well, I am a better person . Better than what I was before. I miss the long hair of mine. Now, its just a little below my shoulders. Many things have changed, Many things.

He used to call me 'Melon' . He never gave me a reason for that but he said he loved calling me that. 'Alles', my best friend. He was quite good looking, I have to admit that but he was irritating as f***. We were together most of the times, especially in school hours.
I still remember the time when the rumor of us being a couple had spreaded in the whole school. I was so mad, mad at him, mad at myself and mad at everyone else. I didn't talk to him for a whole week. He tried but I somehow ignored. I ignored, though I loved him, I loved him as my best friend.
Seven days of not talking to him felt like years but I never showed it. I even thought, we would never remain what we used to be. But there he was at my door on a Sunday morning.

"I don't want to see your face!" I lied.

It felt like heaven to see him infront of me. That baby like face, that face of my best friend, the one who always stood by my side.

"I don't care but I want to talk to you" He said in a serious tone.
His hair looked messy as if he had just woken up but his eyes were telling a different story as if hadn't slept for a whole night.

"Speak up!" I said folding my hands.

"Who's there?" My mother shouted from the kitchen.

"Aunty, its me Alles!, Namastey!" He replied back from the door.

"Oh! Why don't you come in, come in I have made some breakfast"

"Aunty I would love to but here's a security guard that won't let me in" he was teasing me.

"Security guard? How dare you call me that"

"Melon is a security guard, you know what it really suits you alot"
He said giving me a teasing smile.

F*** his dimples! I said to myself trying to stop staring at him. It was such a good feeling talking to him.

"At least I look like a security guard, you look like a toilet cleaner, why don't you get yourself a new job, Mr. Alles the toilet cleaner!"

As I finished he laughed hard and hugged me and whisphered in my ear,
" I missed you so much melon"
I could feel his breath through my ears.

I missed you too, I wanted to say but I suck at showing emotions.

"Get out of my way now, I want to have some breakfast , I haven't ate anything properly in a while" He said getting himself off of me .

Mother equally loved Alles as much as I did. She knew, our fights were never strong enough to last long and that wasn't the first time we fought.

Well, these two were the only thing called as happiness in my life and All that was enough to complete my universe.

I also went to the kitchen to join them. Alles and mommy were on the dining table. He was eating and my mother was busy asking him about the food.
When I picked one of the biggest piece of sandwich, Alles said

" Melon, you eat so much but you never get fat, must be a very greedy girl, shame on you skinny girl"

" I don't listen to toilet cleaners"

"Aunty, she needs a ear check up"
He said and both of them laughed.

" you both are one of a kind, I am going upstairs, call me when you need me"
I said staring at Alles with an evil look.

As soon as I reached my room, I shutted the door and took off my pant. And laid myself on the bed.
After a few minutes I heard someone running upstairs. I was too lazy to get off and I thoughy I forgot something. Well, I was too lazy to think about that as well.

"Oh you are hiding here" It was Alles.

'Oh oh! Where are my pants' I finally remembered.
I got myself up from the bed and covered myself with a blanket.

"Alles, can't you knock?"

"I would never knock in your room melon, so better wear your pants from now on"
He laughed.
There ware my shorts on the basked right beside where Alles was standing.

"Hey toilet cleaner, pass me that short"

"Oh! Sorry mam, how can I touch your things" he said teasingly.

"Alles please!!"
He smiled and threw my shorts towards me. I wore them keeping myself inside the blanket and as soon I wore it I got myself out.

"No matter how short you wear, you are always going to look like a potato " he laughed.

"Old habit of yours. You really don't know how to appreciate good things. Poor toilet cleaner"

Suddenly he came towards me and tightly grabbed my waist with his arms.

"I know it" he said and then something happened that shouldn't have.

I felt something warm, something warm on my lips . It was his lips on mine. His hands were rubbing my back. I was standing on the bed and he was below me . I tried to push myself away but he had held me tightly and I couldn't. Maybe that was just an excuse I was giving to myself. I was loving what his lips were doing. I slowly opened my mouth to let his enter in mine. We were kissing.

"This is wro.." I was trying to say but he interrupted with his kiss.

Then he got his lips apart and looked into my eyes and said

"You don't know how much of you I have missed and I have realized more than what I had known"
