If love was a curse!

5

Well although we were in the same Pre-university college. His was science stream and his class was the opposite block. I was in arts.

I couldn't concentrate. Not even in one class. My thoughts completely tracing him. I mean, how could someone so perfect like him, love me?

He was a hotshot in college. Every girl drooled over him. He was the man of dreams for any girl.

He was so perfect. He looked handcrafted by god. A Greek god in disguise. The perfect facial proportions. The half grown beard. The sharp jaw line.

I was distracted by few whispers behind me.
"She is not to be touched. She is with that science crap.", I heard a few guys say, seated behind me.
I sigh. A feeling of pride churns in my stomach. I could feel my insides blush.

Lunch hour was the worst. Not one person came to talk to me. The two friends that I made during the previous week I attended college, I saw mixed emotions in their eyes- jealousy, pity. Not sure what.

Anyway, ignoring everything I just gulp down my lunch.

Two girls, not sure about their names, walk past me. They were whispering, definitely trying to mock me, "what is in her that he fell for her?"

This question hit me hard. I really needed answers.

"Oh shoot!, What does mum know? What did she have to talk to me?"
I thought as the morning scenes flashed to me.

I waited impatiently for the last Bell to ring. Two reasons mainly, mum and aarav.

After the last Bell, as I stepped out of class, disappointment hit me hard. I was almost burning. I was angry. My fists closed hard, my nails piercing into my palm.

He wasn't there. He didn't turn up. I gave up on searching for him. I run home directly. Tears rolled down. Maybe I was expecting too much from him. Maybe he was just thinking of me as a friend.

I reached home. I barge into the front door. Mum and that godly man sit there in the couch laughing away to glory. I rushed to my mum.

"You didn't tell me anything Myra?"

"Tell you what mom?"

"Myra, I love you with all my heart!
Will you be mine forever?"

I was taken aback. Just an hour ago I was overthinking him not being there near my class for me. I'm definitely hallucinating. I look at mom. She was happy, surprised, excited, and every other emotion related to happiness danced on her face.

"Say yes Myra!!"

"Maaaaa"

"Just say yes! He loves you truly. Trust me!"

"Ma, he proposed to me just 1 hour of getting to know me! How is it possible?"

"Actually I saw you even during, admission. I was at the office. I fell in love with the childlike innocence you have! Have been waiting for college to start from then!", He said looking at me. A year rolled down his perfect now red cheeks.

I looked at mom, confused!

"Tell me what are you thinking Myra?"

"Yes!", I let out a whisper.

Flashback ends.....

"Myra, what's taking you so long?", I heard him knock the door.
That's when I realized I was completely lost in thoughts.
That was the beginning to my love story.

In these two years we have had our differences but we couldn't stay without each other as well. My life seemed completely normal untill my parents divorce came up a few days ago.

I quickly put on some clothes and get ready to go out with aarav for shopping. I needed some books and clothes for the university next week.

Aarav was waiting for me by my bed side. That man never fails to amaze me. His charm is something I can never get over.

"Shall we go my queen?"

I just kept staring at him.

"Myra".
"Myra".

I snap out of my fantasy.

"Aarav, can I ask you something?"

"Yes of course!

"Why did you love me? You had much better choices!"

"And how many times do I tell you that if I had to reason, it isn't called love! I love you, only you and will continue to do so till I breathe last!
Now shall we go? Need to get you back soon too!"

I couldn't answer anything to that. I just follow him silently outside and into his car.

"Myra, I need to tell you something!"

"What is it?", I asked tensed.

"Well you do know that my med school is 2 hours from here?"

"Yesssss......and ....... So?"

"I'm planning to rent a flat, near to my college!"

"What?????", It came out as a scream while I just meant it to be in shock.

"Baby please, calm down! Don't cry. I really can't see you like this!"

I didn't realize I was crying until he told me!

"I promise to meet you every weekend! I ll come down for you! I ll call you everyday! Please just don't cry!"

"It's alright Aarav! Just don't leave me! Without you I'm nothing!", I say as I wipe away my tears.

Wow!!!! My life just keeps getting worse by the day.
