It's okay to be Imperfect

Little things down the road.

'And so all cool right?'
'Yeah. '
There conversation carried on for 3hours and finally after so many days although both did not get answers to their questions but they were happy.
Next day at school Aneri was chosen as the Stage Volunteer of their Annual School Programme.
'I'm overwhelmed. Thank You all for thinking I deserve it. I'll do my best! '
Little she knew about the efforts Rohit had put to convince everyone to vote her. Aneri did not have much demands. While they were dating she told him that 'This year I wish could be one of the stage volunteers you know.'
7days were left for the function. She was not getting enough sleep as she had the responsibility of a lot of things like talking to costume designers, participant, teacher, make up artists, technicians, etc.
On the day of the Annual Function, Rohit went backstage for asking about the schedule of his guitar performance.
It was more or less empty as the dance crew left.
She saw a lady wearing a beautiful orange saree and her hair was loosened up.
By the time he could control himself to look away he had already uttered :
'Aneri? '
Aneri turned around with a clipboard in her hand and pen in her mouth.
'Oh Rohit. What're you doing here? You have your performance in like 15mins.'
'Performance? oh yeah! sorry it just, I mean you just kind off, you know.. '
'What? '
'You look really bea.. i mean nice. '
'Oh, nice? thanks. Go now you have 13mins left. '
He sighed turned around and started walking.
'Rohit? '
Rohit put his guitar on the floor, ran back to Aneri, held her tight and kissed her. He said,
'Yes I still love you too! '
'Oh i mean, I called you just to wish you luck for the performance but.. '
Rohit loosened his grip.
'Oh.'
He stormed out of the place.
'Rohit! I wanted to say, I said but i liked whatever just happened. ROHIT! '
Aneri shouted but it was of no use.
Rohit lined up for his performance but he was already extremely distracted because of the awkward moment he had 5minutes ago.
'How could I be so stupid? ' Was the only question he asked himself at least 10times since that happened.
'You're not stupid. And yeah, i love you too. '
'Aneri? You? Now? From where did you.. '
'Chup, see they are announcing your name, i gotta go. Best of luck. '
She left.
Rohit was still startled about all the things that happened within the last 15 minutes. But somewhere inside him, he was the happiest he could be.
After all, first love hurts but it is out of the world.
