memories to live

THE STARTING PHASE

Its October, the strike ended. With a lot of effort, I got into the bus, by luck somewhere in the middle I got the seat. Since it's a journey of an hour I always used to listen music. The day is not different, quite cold because of the season. I reached the college around 9am. My friends are already reached, we are not close yet. As usual the days went on.

The thing is that I always used to cling to phone, I wish I can meet him. Since he is of another branch I couldn't see him daily. But that day we completed our lab quite early and sat in the park. I saw a tall guy with nice physique is coming with Sushant. Yes, its him(Mridul). He saw me but didn't gave any clues that he felt happy, as usual I just bid a hi to Sushant and then they disappeared.

The next day while returning to home, we are on chat.

Mridul: did you recognized me yesterday?

Me: of course, I did, but got disappointed because you didn't smile back.

Mridul: I thought you were smiling at Sushant, but sorry.

Me: it's okay, but do smile, you look cute.

(I don't know whether he find my message as I felt, but I felt it's too early.)

Mridul: can I have your number?

Me: it's my pleasure.

I sent him my number.

Surprisingly I didn't get any messages but a call. I didn't receive it.

On chat,

Mridul: is there anything that avoiding you from me?

Me: nothing like that, I thought you will just drop a message, so it's a shock.

Mridul: its ok, can you do it now?

Me: yes of course.

Then he called and this time I accepted, it was a conversation which lasted for an hour. We talked much about our school days. I couldn't talk freely with him, because Kriti was beside me. Sometimes we used to travel together. I felt he was not comfortable, but since she was with me I couldn't make him comfortable.

The days went on, now our conversation shifted from messenger to WhatsApp. He had asked me to go out to eat pizza. May it feel crazy but I felt happy. He used to ask about my family, my likes etc. He is becoming much closer to me, just to avoid it I said him the truth.

Me: do you like me?

Mridul: yes, ofcourse. You are good at handling things.

Me: then you should know that I'm also good at handling my boyfriend.

Mridul: is it mean you are engaged or a hint for me to be your boyfriend?

Me: I have boyfriend.

Mridul: okay, bye. Take care.

Me: bye.

He said me that I'm good at handling things, but I guess I went wrong just a few minutes back.

Sometimes you can't do what you want, and some other times you can't accept what had been done. The life gives unexpected twist just like traveling in a hill station. Life is just a roller coaster.
