Nine years ago in a college bar in a small university town, Nandini's POV

Uh, I wanna be on the cover of... Forbes magazine

Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

"Wow, man! Talk about being drunk and happy in tipsy-land." Rinky my friend comments looking at the guy on the stage.

His eyes gleamed with a strange delight as his friends were cheering up for him. He must be around 20-21. He was wearing a pale blue rugged denim shirt and white pants and he looked like he'd been partying for a while now. His shirt was untucked with an open neck and he was singing the song like he really meant it. He was holding the mike in one of his hands he raises his other hand in air as he was gently tapping his foot on the ground.

It was karaoke night at starbusters, the college club of the university. And it was jam packed as tomorrow is the start of classes.

"He is kinda hot though." Navya remarked raising her eyes to check him out - That means a lot. Navya is a no-nonsense kind of girl. She is beautiful, smart and knows what she wants from life. She doesn't take shit from anyone. And looks don't do much to her.

"Really?" I looked up the guy of the stage again. The first thing that catches my attention is his smile and the way his eyes had a tiny spark in them.

"He is ok." I tell Navya.

He was actually pretty fricking hawt. But, I didn't say it out loud. Because they will tease me with this guy whose name even we didn't know, till the end of time. I am not kidding. They still tease me with the guy I had my high school crush on - Brady. Obviously because, that was the only time I had feelings for opposite sex. I had never gone out with him nor did I never even talk with him. Well, except for this time when it was raining and he offered to drop me home just out of a basic humanity towards a lonely girl on a dark deserted road - it was nothing. But, that was my closest interaction with boys, period.

Navya says I am a dreamy girl and I am terribly delusional because of all the romantic novels I read and all the romantic movies I watch. She has more experience than me in relationships department and all her experience made her deduce one single fact and she keeps saying it over and over again - GUYS NEED SEX AND GIRLS NEED ROMANCE.

Could things get any more crude? - Sorry, but I humbly disagree.

When I was riding home with Brady that night, I had felt my heart race. The stars in the sky were brighter and the wind that was blowing through my hair had some strange magic in it - it made my skin all tingly.

When he stopped his car in front of my house, I hadn't even notice that we had arrived or the fact that my amms standing in the lawn waiting for me. My whole brain was focused on making the time stop and freezing the moment. I must have fumbled to open the stupid door at least ten times, before I managed to climb out of the car.

And when he said bye, that single three letter word was like a death sentence to me - it broke my heart.

Two years later, when I ran into him, he had asked me out at that time. Apparently, he had heard from my friend's friend's brother's friend that I had a crush on him. Weird thing - I didn't feel the same anymore. In short, the 'moment' was gone.
