A Love So True

Fight For Love

Several months has past since  her sister death and it also has been three months since we were dating each other then one day i was sure that she would despise me for running away. Namira would have no idea that I was doing it for her. I did not want to be in the same school as she anymore. I had a lost and Shafayet had won.The best thing for me to do was walk away. I was surprised at  Shafayet though. He knew I was crazy about Namira. The whole thing started out with him helping us with our studies , since we were not so good students.

When I saw him with her in coaching, I  was flabbergasted. I did what most man would done; I dropped Shafayet from my list of my friends. Then when he pretend he had done nothing wrong,i told him to his face what I thought oh him. That riled him. Now Shafayet wanted a fight after the lecture next evening. Why? Apparently he wanted to impress her. I was tougher and would have cracked his skull with my bare fists, but I was not going to bash up a friend. I felt that would be uncivilised. I decided to run.

The teacher was surprised at my decision to quit the course in the middle of it. I explained that I would continue the course in some other evening class. He nodded after he realised that my mind was made up. That very day, I enrolled a new coaching center, on the other side of town. Everyone must have disappointed that the fight did not take place. Atom called and told that  I was a coward. I said "OK," and hung up on him. A few others rang up too to tell me how disappointed they were over my running away. I just scratched them off my list of friends.

Still. I could not get her off my mind . I had imagined my life with her for months . I tried to distract myself with my studies and spend  lot of time with Rubaia , my childhood friend. Then a week later I saw Namira near my new coaching center. I stopped dead in my tracks,to let her go ahead. The lecturer was early and looking at his transparencies . I sat down and began to read the notes. I was feeling uneasy though.

I was deeply absorbed in my thoughts when someone touches my shoulder. I turned casually and found myself looking into the face of Namira. I started "Hi," she said and sat down . I was shaking from head to toe . I did not know what to say."Iam glad you ran away,"she said gently."You have enrolled in this class?" I asked, throwing grammar to the wind . She nodded with a cheeky smile. " I wanted to be in the same class as you,"she said  shyly. I looked bat her quizzically. "Shafayet wanted to fight with you because he was jealous. I told him I was not interested in him and that I became his friend only because to be close to you then before."Evening became clear now."

The lecture began and I looked up at the screen . I felt a soft shoulder leaning on mine . I leaned back to feel more the gentle shoulder and the gentle soul that owned it. That was the only night that I did not understand even one word of what the lecture was all about.
