Manan OS~ That Mysterious Smile

That Mysterious Smile~

Vihaan's Pov~

"Vihaan? Vihaan? Hey! You there?"

I could hear her voice calling out for me. But I couldn't say anything. I was hurting. I could feel myself breaking into pieces. My legs gave up, I slid down the wall and sat leaning against it. There were no tears but the pain was uncontrollable. I never realized when the call ended or when two days passed.

That one phone call had turned my life upside down. I want to cry, shout and scream but I am emotionally exhausted, I cannot express my agony even though I badly want to. There is a lump in my throat, my eyes want to shed bloody tears but I just can't. It's like someone is caging whatever I am feeling!

I have just one question. Why me? Why always me? Why?

With this everything that happened a few months ago started playing in my head.

"Listen, I'll be back, I am going to buy something I am hungry," I told my friend.

He muttered an okay in his half sleepy state.

With this, I got out of the train! It was 2 AM and as it should be, all dark, my train was somewhere in Gujarat station, it was all deserted except for one or two people sleeping on the platform!

"Damn! it was so easy to fool these idiots, who go out at 2 AM just to buy something to eat, when not even a single shop is open. So, finally Manik you have completed your one of the darkest fantasies to catch a moving train by running after it, just like heroes in movies!" I exclaimed with a mischievous glint in eyes and a victorious smile on my face.

When the train started moving slowly I stood there and looked at it with an amused expression but after looking around myself for a moment, I got scared when I saw barren station, my feet automatically moved towards the train and leaped for the door! I took a deep breath and went to my coach where I saw that my friends and teachers were still sleeping but there was no ounce of sleep in my eyes, I was all excited for this Trip!

Little did I know that this trip was going to change my life forever.

"MUMBAI! HERE WE ARE" every Student sang in unison as the train had finally reached the Mumbai station!

The teacher instructed the students to gather their luggage, it was a 7-day school trip and the tourist guides were there to help them to explore all of Mumbai's famous places!

As I saw the tourist guides my eyes stuck at a certain someone, who was smiling sweetly looking at the students!

"Is this Girl a tourist guide too? But isn't she too young for that...", I thought while admiring the girl's smile, I found her smile painstakingly mysterious.

"What are you even thinking Dude, that too about a girl?? This isn't you, I am here to enjoy with my friends, these girls are just plain pain". After thinking all this and trying to brush the girl's mysterious smile from the head I moved towards the guides, I wished them along with the other students and with that we moved to our hotel where we were supposed to stay for 7 days!

The next morning I woke up and did my daily routine. When I went towards the dining table my eyes again found that girl and there she was smiling beautifully while chatting with others! Without even my knowledge I started thinking about her!

"What could be her name? Why I am even thinking about her? She can be anyone, why do I even care?" With the constant fight between my heart and mind, I ate my breakfast!

The first day was normal nothing more exciting happened except my dilemma!

The next day, I don't know why but I fought with my friends. This made me upset and due to this I went and sat by the sea with my earphones plugged in and started admiring the calm, serene beauty of Mumbai seas!
