A Young Love Story...

Part 7 - Confession Day

The last day of the celebration week was here. Many people were writing long and short notes of CONFESSION... Some were confessing love, some were confessing their hatred.. Some were confessing secret crushes, some were confessing their mistakes... And Ananya was walking into the campus. She was looking around, for Vishesh. Her eyes were searching him, but not with an expectation. She wanted to confess something to him. She looked around but could not find him. 

She went into the class. She saw Vishesh. He was sitting at his regular place, with the boys gang. Ananya was happy he had followed the first step of keeping distance, she smiled at him. He smiled at her and was happy that she at least acknowledged him. She signaled to him, to wait back after class. After the class got over, Vishesh stood at his place. Ananya walked to him, and gave him a letter. It was a thickly folded one. So Vishesh knew it was long. "Read it. I am not expecting any reply. I know your answer already. Thank you, and sorry!" she said and left from there. It was break time. The class was empty. Vishesh decided to stay back in the class and read the letter. 

"Dear Vishu,

Today is Confessions Day. I want to confess something to you, so this letter. You were smart and simple, and decent. So I always liked you, right from our 11th Std. But I belong to a family where friendship with boys may not be appreciated. So, I kept my limits. Even now, after all these years, when you approached me, I was elated and all, but I have my own inhibitions as well as limitations. 

I loved all the attention that you showered on me this week. I suddenly felt like I have a boyfriend. I used to dress up, this entire week, only so that I could see you complimenting me. But just when you proposed to me, I realized all this is going too fast. May be you really do love me. May be you don't, how would we know? That is why I asked for both time and distance. 

If you really love me, then this distance will bring us closer. But if not, then out of sight will throw me out of your mind too. So also for me, if I love you, I will wait desperately for these 15 days to get over. But if I don't, then at the given date and day, I will let you know my decision. 

Even if I love you, I want to be very frank and tell you one thing. There is no future of this relationship. Because my parents will never allow me to marry someone I choose. And you are a Bengali. I am a Marwari. I see no match. But trust me, I will not think of all these things. I will only wait and watch my feelings... Love or just liking. Will update you. Can't promise you anything more. Take care. Hugs... XX ;) Winking because this reminded me of our chit-chat that day. And I still maintain no XOXO okay?Haha! You are a great guy, I hope you are not fooling around. 

Ohh...completely forgot about the confession.. LOL. Crazy me!

Yes, so the confession is... I think I like you, but I am not sure. And I want to confess to you that I am going out with Rishi today for coffee. I had promised him yesterday. And now, don't wonder why I canceled our lunch. I would not have canceled it, but you rushed things up. And I got worried. 

Second confession.. I have suddenly developed trust issues with you. The way you have lived up all events this week, suddenly felt too planned to me. I have my doubts, and I am being frank enough to confess this. Sorry! 

Hugs to you, at least as a friend I am sending you hugs. 

Your friend, 

Anu."

Vishesh was shattered... She did not trust him! Plus, she was going out with Rishi. He was angry at her. How come she could trust him? How come she went out with him at the first try itself? He was very angry and upset. He kicked his leg against the desk, but he only got hurt. He just sat down. He decided he would maintain his decency and follow what she had asked him to. If she really loves him, she will come back, else he would let her be!
