The Unresolved Dilemma

3.

As I went on reading the diary. I came to know that Rihaan was extrovert but he needed to get comfortable. Tanishka was bold but was weak inside.  She had some own issues but never shared with anyone. She used to show as if she was very strong and could bear anything. Aksh was smart one around here. He was extrovert and would share anything with anyone. He usually won't be able to keep any secrets. Till now,the school was usual. No unusual incidents would occur to Rihaan. He had made some friends in the class . They used to help him in his work and to copé up with the syllabus. He wasn't sure of was he making good friends or not but like it's said, a bird in hand is worth than two in bush. He was making his name and place in his class. He topped his school exams and thus made a statement and showed his place in class. Now he was liked by his classmates,his teachers and principal. This went on for 2 to 3 months. The monsoon set in and it was late monsoon. And on that day, 7th September and unusual incident occured.

7th September,2014
Time 10.00pm

Today it wasn't a usual day for me. In the morning the sky was already making arrangements for its grand appearance. Clouds were positioning. Cool breeze made its pace suitable and all of a sudden , it was steamy hot day. Earth was releasing so much heat. It was all necessary for to make apperance classic. So I went to school. Our lectures started and the usual day started. I forgot about the morning scenery and was indulged in studies. By the end of the day, the rain already had made its apperance,it was raining cats and dogs.  It occured to me that I had forgot my raincoat . My mother kept it out on table but I guess it's still waiting for me on the table (!!). My house was at  15 minutes distance from the school. So I took a decision that if I drove little faster,I could make it in 8 minutes and that way I could get home without catching cold. So I put the key in ignition, started it ,took a deep breath and drove towards home. Little did I knew the condition of drainage I wouldn't make such decision. After about 4 minutes of driving amidst downpour, my activa got stuck and water filled up the silencer as it seemed to me . The active became heavy and it won't move easily.And it broke down amidst the downpour. I looked around for help but I couldn't see anyone. So at first I drove under the shade by pushing the vehicle. I stood there in hope of someone coming for help. Suddenly, Aksh showed up from nowhere. He asked why was I waiting under a shade. I explained him the situation and he was kind of went into his thoughts. Then amusingly offered me lift to home. Now it was my time to go into thoughts coz I made up my mind on the first day that I won't be friends with him and now that I am in such a dreadful situation,should I accept his offer or should I want here for someone to show up ? The answer was very clear, I should accept it. And that's what I did. I accepted his help and sat on the back seat. And we drove towards my home.

On the road,we would talk about hobbies,cars, food around the city and the boys stuffs. He was a cricket player. He used to open for the school team. So he was sharing his experiences of his cricketing career and how his family didn't allowed him to pursue it. I was no good in cricket so I nooded and agreed to all that he told. As the traffic grew much thicker , we knew we had to support each other to survive this. So I told him about my football experiences and how I had goaled 4 times against the champions team and we won the game.  He did the same thing ,nooded and agreed. He then started telling about his girlfriend's. He had total score of 8 girlfriends till now. And when I heard that,my respect for him got escalated. He used to date girls since 8th division. He was kinda master in that all. So he would tell all this funny incidents of how close he was to get beaten by his the girl's brother and it happened not once but thrice with him. He wouldn't  even boggle to tell his intimate moments with his girlfriends. He had once dated his computer teacher who was 4yrs older than him. He was a stud. He turned to me and asked me if I had any girlfriends or not. I nooded in denial. And he called me boring. What ? How could someone call boring coz he never had a girlfriend. For next 5minutes he was blabbering ,I don't remember about what because my mind was lingered on the last thought.  So finally I was home and I thanked him and invited for nasta. But he was in some hurry so he didn't come in and went to his home. In the evening , I went with my father to collect my broken down vehicle and repair it. And what I found was confusing as someone put up a nail in the back Tyre of my vehicle deliberately. For all know ,it was rainwater that broke down my vehicle in the midst. But for that instance I ignored it and we came home.

At night,I am left with some thoughts. First of all , I think I was too early to judge Aksh. He is a fine person. He helped me and is fun to hang out with. Secondly, I don't have a girlfriend and I am 17. I am getting old and I still don't have a girlfriend. And the last thought but important, who would put nail in my vehicle to make me suffer. I am wondering all this at once. And I am startled at me as how such small and stupid thoughts are distracting me. I want a girlfriend but how I am gonna do that? I had no idea but I want a girlfriend and that's all it matters .
