AT NIGHT

I was wretched all day. It was 11:30 PM, I guess. I took my phone and went on terrace. It was a cold breezy night. The sky was empty today. All the clouds did that. I was all alone. I got a text from Ananya.

' What happened dear ?? Why were you angry on me ?? What did I do ranger ?? One more thing, I'm sorry about Rose, I thought she was the one ' . I didn't reply anything.

I leaned on the edges, looking at sky and wondering...

' Hey Yash ', I heard someone called me.

' Hi ',I replied. She was Rose.

' What are you doing here?? ', she asked with curiosity. She wored a Black-T and that cute pony. She was just gorgeous.

' Nothing, just introspecting some aspects of my life. By the way you look great ', I said, removing my earplug.

' Oh shut up!! I don't look that great '.

I wanted to sing ' You don't know you are beautiful ' by 1D.

' We can talk now, if you want to ', I said.

' Yeah sure, but I can talk like, half an hour only '.

' That would do it ', I said and we started walking to and fro.

' Yash, I said you today. I'm just depressed. I have no one else to share my feelings except you. You can be trusted, that's what I think. Am I right ?? ', she said and laughed.

' Of course, I can be ', I too smiled. It was a rainy season so I could feel the slipping algae on my foot.

' I just think I should leave this bf and gf stuff. I think I can't get anyone of my own type or say frequency ', she said.

It started raining. We started running towards the shade.

' Aww.. ', she said and slipped on the algae.

I was running back of her so I stumbled into her. I just pulled her up, as she had lost her balance. She pulled me and held me more tight. It was just silence except the noise made by the lighting and the rain. She looked into my eyes and I looked in to her. I didn't know what to do. She kissed me. I couldn't stop her. I did it too. I was speechless. I didn't expect anything like this from Rose. Then I stopped. I pulled her up to balance her. We were all wet.

' I'm sorry, I just... ', I said.

' Its fine, I think I should go. Bye ', she said and went.

I came home and I couldn't sleep. It was just shit, whatever happened with me. Somehow I slept.

ON SUNDAY

My whole Sunday went in vain. I wrote my first poem after that class incidence took place. I wrote it for Rose not because of what happened last night, but because she had many break ups, 9 to be more particular. It went like this :

People come in life and go

some have faces, very few of them show

Some have masks,

very few trust and very few lasts

Some have hearts, some have souls

Most of them are egoistic which have their goals

Tears aren't the simple drops

and also they aren't easy to stop

For the pain which are shed away

like a nightmare getting no way

It's our life, It's our road

It doesn't matter even if we get bored

Because past will give you pain and pain

Also with a tension and lots of strain

Pain lasts a second, minute, hour, or an year

But it's upon us how much and how to bear

People come in life for a reason

and if they go, life becomes a prison

Some of you won't understand me

Some of you will laugh at me me

But Rose, I hope that

you will get a perfect lover for you

who will smile with you

who will cry with you

who will support you

and most of all

who will love you!!

#A GREAT POET :)

Ravi called me. We had a club match. I had totally forgotten about it. I took my black-printed jersey, my studs and went.

It was 3:30. The match was at 4. I saw Ananya's bf. He was the captain. I was in the substitutes for mid-fielders. I entered at somewhat 63 mins. The game was going great. Their team was piece of shit. They started teasing our players. Everyone kept it cool. I just missed the goal from corner kick. Someone teased me from back. I just looked right after him, and ran. The conversations went worse and worse and worse!! He just punched me in my stomach. Referee came running and stopped us and gave him a red card. He got more angry and kicked me on my leg. It hurted so bad, but yeah I could play. Players gathered around us. Referee pulled him out and he went. Soon the game was over 0-0. It was the worst game. Ravi came and asked me my condition. I said him I was fine.
I went home, we had lectures the next day.

ON MONDAY

The bell rang and at last the break was up. Ananya came and took my hand and pulled it.

' Don't do it, I don't want to talk with you !! ', I said obnoxiously.

' Shut up!! you idiot ', she said and took me to the back of stairs.

' What the hell are you doing?? Why didn't you reply me ?? Why aren't you talking with me ?? ', she said aggressively.

' I don't want to, because ...... '.

' Because ??? ', she asked.

' Because ...I can't tell you '.

' See Yash, don't just shut everyone out of your life. We have 1 month remaining for board exams and I don't want to loose one of my best friend. You know how much upset I've been since you weren't talking with me!! After 12th I don't know if we would be together or not. I just want you in my life ', she said and tears glistened in her eyes.

' I'm sorry, don't cry Anu, or I'll start crying too ', I said and started crying.

' You are mad !!! ', she said and slapped me.

We started laughing.

' So wrote a poem for me ?? ', she asked.

' No.. writing, sweetheart '.

' Me, sweetheart!! Don't kid me..Rose would be that ', she said and laughed beautifully.

' Noooooo!!!! ', I exclaimed.

' Okay, I've to meet some other friends, see you again Yash '

' Okay', I said.

All lectures were over. I saw Rose, though it was awkward to talk with her I showed my poem. She loved it. She said to write more. And together we went home. Well there was a company.
