The Better Place

As my eye lids slammed wide open and My Dream vanished all away, I even dont

remember what was it all about? Strange huh, well got to get ready to the sameboring college. Better I get ready before I get a shout from mom saying why the

hell are you taking this much time in just dressing up? But moms u gotta know

that your Baby isnt taking time at all, unlike all those girls in those fancy costume

Babes in my college. Im Just a star who doesnt need such stuff; even a piece of

cloth can make me the queen. Ah!!! Enough of boost up, Time for shower oops

forgot about the brushing first.

Off to college trying to skip my breakfast coz its definitely gonna be some kinda

crap. And Wish me safe journey coz its my bike. Let me get back after college

experiences as there would be lots to tell.

Let me say now got over with one complete day and now its rest time and recap

time as I always like to remember though it was a really bad day.

Humiliation is a so normal thing which can be occurred in everybodys life at

times. But its kinda extreme in my case that I always get stuck in such kinda

circumstances. Well I know you might have guessed already that theres been an

incident at college today. As like I was lost in my dream world which pulls me

towards it has caused all this humiliation. Well to say I wasnt paying attention to

what educational stuff Mr. Lecture was teaching about so he asked me to stand

up. You know automatically questions Fire upon you, and then I started to

stammer, shiver and couldnt answer that was quite universal then he came in

asking about my assignment marks which turned out to be three outta ten whole

marks. Actually it was bad about getting three marks but dont know why some

chemical reactions happened inside that I felt like I was about to faint. Reallyweird sir thought that like I didnt listen he was kinda roughly repeating that thing

but I was almost fainting I could see white borders, total silence and only one

kinda angelic feeling that somebody has come to take me to some heavens. Felt

like this is your last second on this earth baby Ive come to take you away. But as

soon as a few seconds got through I stood still everything vanished except the sir

standing in front of me. Actually I couldnt bear looking at that Lecture that I just

ran out of the class saying that I really need to go to the wash room. Dont really

know why I ran through the corridor totally in tears on the way to the wash room.

I swear this was the worst experience ever. May be people face such experiences

or not. I really dont care. Though I do care a little bit about what people think

about me and I do face humiliation but that doesnt mean all these things are

gonna matter a lot to me. By the way, what dream was I thinking about when all

this shit happened? I can say the start of the day was only a total bad

chronological day. I was in some dream which I really dont remember even a bit,

and suddenly there was a huge sound I felt it was kinda ogre and I just got up at a

stretch. But it was that glass fish tank broke though it didnt contain any fishes it

was too loud when it fell down. And I felt it was in my dream, so strange, even

though I got up still my pulse rate was surplus.

Sometimes it happens like that even though you feel that you are looking good,

people dont like you that way. I do know its only according to ones own feeling

but its evenly important to know how others feel about you. Well I dont think I

should pay much attention to gossipers though. Of course Im great however I

look and I like the way I am. I guess all what matters is just your confidence in you

that you are the one best among everyone and you can make a special corner for

everybodys heart when you talk. Such simple it is when u just talk about it, But

when you actually land in reality of practicing such silly things you land up to

nothing and u cant just change things so fast. It isnt a Childs play though.

May be to say today wasnt that awful about my dress, but some said are

exposing, these girls get on pricking even tight leggings which seem obscene to

college. But like I've got compliments from guys, isnt that rocking. Even like I've

told those guys that girls in our class didnt like me today, they were like a girl

cant appreciate another girls beauty. That isnt true; girls arent that jealous, Iagree sometime you dont like your crush or boy friend complimenting other girl

but you. But it isnt that we dont accept other girls beauty. But my day was

totally fine. I like it. Huh!!!!

Sunday tomorrow so no college no stuff, may be Sundays are just meant for

normal gloomy sleepy hours running away leaving so fast that you get a Monday

as soon as you open your eyes and you land into college with total unfinished

projects. Sundays are always meant to be so boring until you catch up for some

movie or so, but that happens only with your family cause in mine its meant a

family spending time. Ah!!! So boring duh!!! Thinking of tomorrow itself is

making me sick, I better not do that.

Crossed away with that Sunday but landed into this so stupid mourning Monday

morning, and now its just 6oclock I'm awake. Isnt that great, as usually I dont

get up till 8oclock that coz I just need to reach college by 9am. May be today

theres gonna be something special that made me wake up that early. Is it so?

Who knows? Coz your future can never be perfectly planned as they say, as you

cant think of the next second. You may be alive or may not coz no one can stop

the death, if Rachel was here she would have yelled at me will you keep your silly

philosophies to yourself. But they arent that stupid huh!! I think so.

I guess its all according to your thinking and your localities you fix up your

mentalities to such a different extent that two people can never be with the exact

same mentalities in a single home of same blood only, though they grow up in

same atmospheres. Enough of mentalities now though I aint that into Humanpsychology stuff. Guess If you think observing new things is only a study and write

about them in your own way, may I could be a researcher searching what is this

term of thinking in humans and what are these feelings? I would definitely wanna

know.

May be sometimes I really feel my life is so directionless that I dont know what

should I be doing? It isnt the matter about right now. Its all about my future. Is

there a thing like that for me? Though I'm into mass communications and media

which all my parents, uncles and aunties didnt want me to join saying you are a

bright kid why dont you join in some good course like engineering or like all the

other kids look at them theyve got all those ranks. And totally bug me up. Though

I know this isnt that good field where you dont get hundred thousand for a

month but it will make me happy and I wouldnt feel like I'm working. But why the


4/42

hell do parents think that its their responsibility to get their child married

especially girls, and I'm fed up. I wanna live on my own, for my own ability and

talent. And I really have too many desires on my life why dont people understand

that I dont want to share my life with someone and keep on taking permissions

for everything I do from some other person. I want it all my way with no one

telling me behind. Even though its wrong I want to know my mistakes. Because I

dont want others keep on telling me I dont want it to be overprotected. I am

what I am and mom thinks that someday Ill get in love with some guy and then

these things would take a flight. I know I keep on changing decisions but I cant

bear anyone else but me in my life as I just love myself. This is true. Anyways its

too late let me get to sleep got to get to college again tomorrow.

A NEW CRUSH CRASHED OFF

Guess what today at college it was the best day ever, ask me what I did. Let me

start from the morning as I parked my bike at the stand in the college and just

came into the path way a guy, whose quite handsome and good looking came onhis Blue racer bike and then just went on too fast and tried to park it beside mine

and dropped my bike on the ground. I went on total rage on him, he and his blue

goggles. I shouted at him for dropping my scooty, I swear I would have totally

killed him then if Rachel wouldnt stop me. Though I was yelling at him that loud it

didnt affect him even a little, what does he think of himself? Is he some Prince of

Washington or what? Well as Rachel pulled me to the class I didnt say much and

then after that he entered right away to the class, as he came in all girls were

staring at him, because he was looking better than every guy in this whole

college. Then we got to know he was a transfer student from St.Anns College

which is a pretty famous among all which is in a metro like Delhi. And he came

here cause of he has to stay with his grandpa and stuff; he showed a story to my

English mam she kept on listening. Why would I care if some guy came into this

college, and all other girls were like bare tongues I didnt taught of this much

catchy he was. After that to my astonishment madam started to say from today I

want groups. Or I can say pairs working on a project especially between a girl and

a boy.

I dont mind whether its about love or friendship or any other thing you got to

enact a little story. Its just to make you feel free but not to create love stuff like

guys you always try to take advantage in these cases, so Ill keep an eye on you.

Now I want all your names written in a piece of paper and put it in these bowls. I

want you people to form four in a group. Make it like 3 boys and a girl. How

would that be as there are girls few in number? Miss Honey said it.

As we wrote the bowls got full with those bits of paper, and mam started listing

out all the groups. Everybody finished I guess it was about last 5 to 6 names left.

Then came from the guys a name was Neel my best buddy, wished even mine

would come out, but it didnt instead Lilly the nerd got there. My luck didnt

turned that bad ever that everybody got over except me and that Jay (New Guy)


6/42

at school was linked up with me, Only we both nobody else. I didnt want this to

happen. Every girl in my class was kinda jealous about me that only me and him,

Even English madam was like you are only two people so you could try working

out Romeo and Juliet of Shakespeare, Me and Juliet never. That too with Mr.

goggles never. How am I gonna bear that arrogant, attitude guy out there. Just

hate him. But no other option at least my favorite subject where I could get an A

cant be neglected because of some specimen paired up with me. When I said this

to Rachel and lovely they were like it sounds like some filmy stuff, a girl who hates

a guy in the starting and falls in love with him in the end, Happy ending. But it aint

any Film to happen like that. Moreover he is just a classmate who is quite a little

arrogant but you neednt fear cause you know how to deal different mentalities

all you got to do is take a little patience and dont over react about all his stupid

show case. Its that simple babes I know you can do it. Huh!

Well Got over with this English period thinking now gotta go to my stupid stinky

subject of economics. I just hate economics dont really know why though its all a

economical based world I just hate it. Hope I just get away easily today. Going to

enter it now, Rachels got to be in the other batch far away wishing her roll

number was closer to mine. But shes happy about her number closer to her best

friend turned crush Rocky (Rahul) they both are hot together but still say they are

only friends and dont want any other stuff. May be being close friends is cool. In

case of mine in this class among boys of course I've got Neel with me, my best

buddy but even his roll number is far away. Anyways, have to be going on with

these stupid numbers now I'm thinking too much. Sometimes it happens like I

keep on staring something when I'm actually not staring but thinking and that

turned out like I was paying too much attention to some guy out there that he

came near me and asked me out, I know this extreme thinking would someday

get me into total trouble. Oh boy! Mr. Jay is closer to me; I guess he was trying to

tell me something. Why is sir walking near me? Let me check.

What are you doing? I told you to write all those assignment about the recession

and the calculations what have you done miss? And I can see you even didnt

write last class assignment, I think you have to meet me in the detention centre

miss.

Ah! Humiliation in front of that Jay I didnt want this to happen. Disgusting I just

taught of trouble, and here I am. I wish this was just a hallucination. But it isnt

because I'm in the detention class which is getting over in 10 minutes. Finally got

out and now here he comes now to depress me even more. I dont want to hear

from him now.

Hey! I'm Jay, I'm sorry for what happened in the morning to your pink Barbie

thing and I didnt do it wontedly. I wanted to say this to you before itself but you

were totally yelling at me that I dont know why it seemed so cute that I kept on

staring you as no one scolded me like that. And maybe it was preplanned by

destiny that you are my English project partner but hope you dont yell at

everything even while we do this project because it will make it a little tough. I

tried to tell you about that in the class he was watching you but you were lost in

some land that I couldnt distract you at all, so you have to pay for it now. Well if

your pink thing got any damage dont worry ill pay for it cause its really flimsy like

you All this by Jay, and I just kept staring at him I even didnt open my mouth.

Total tight lipped, but why did I listen to him when he kept on treating me that

low. I really didnt know why I couldnt even say a word. God only knows how I'm

gonna do this project, and now I gotta see his face for all these three years of

college as his roll number is been given near me. Awful! I just didnt want this to

happen. Rachels coming, Oh so babes, How is he? Hot, Stylish and talks really

great Is it cooking there?Rachel. What? Are you mad? No way, me and Jay

never. I just hate him. I dont like him at all. It can never turn in Like, I hate his

arrogance and attitude. Like he is the only person on the earth who knows

everything and everybody else is dumb heads. Dont ever take his name near

me. I said and the Rachel gave me the weirdest look ever. As soon as I turned

back Neel was coming to talk to me, and he was giggling that I went in detention

and making fun of me. I ran behind him to beat him. And we had a great time as

after that he had to come with me to Caf and we drank Milkshakes even Rachel

and Rocky joined us. Then rode till home and got into normal routine.

RACHELS FISHY PHONE CALL

As dinner got over with a little talk with mom and dad as always when I was

talking to ma in the kitchen my phone started buzzing, texts from Rachel and

Rocky saying babes you got to come out now we need you. I didnt know why

both were texting about 10messeges altogether; mom had a stern look at me

thinking that even though she comes home she always gets hooked up with her

friends. She never studies and doesnt even have time to talk to us. A small look

could express so much where you dont need any words. And even words get less

to describe some expressions. As I turned to mom keeping the phone a little aside

asking her Ma can I go to the corner of the street as Rachel wants to talksomething to me, and she wants me to be there now. Can I go? I asked her as

sweetly possible. Then she said Why is it that necessary that you cant deal with

it in the college tomorrow? Why not ask her to come to our place? Anyways go if

its that important but make sure you be back by a half hour or so. As soon as

she said that I rushed to the door with my bike keys, phone and my wallet. As

soon as I went out I just called her up to conform where she wants me to come.

Then she asked to come to continental, I was like babes I aint dressed up. Do you

want me to enter a 5star hotel in my night suit? She said its alright, it doesntmatter much as this aint any costume party. But dont tell me its gonna be

another humiliation again, I dont want that to happen. Wish me Luck.

As I entered to the lobby and was heading to the restaurant in the corner one

called sushi, I came across Jay and he was surrounded with total delegates and in

tuxes and he was seriously discussing something, wish he didnt notice me. By the

way why does this happen whenever I just dont want to get noticed by some

particular person I just land into them right away.

Guess what, why Rachel called me here, its nothing she just wanted to eat sushi

and wanted all of us to be there as she was bugged up with that Hostel food. I

taught that there was something dangerous and wrong going on with Rachel. Oh

Boy! I gotta end up with these imaginations. But sushi tastes good. Well Ive never

liked it that much but today it isnt that bad. As soon as I finished, we went out to

the parking Lott and its strange I found Arshika and that Hunk Jay talking to each

other. How come they both knowing each other? I didnt think about this, are

they hooked up? Why should I care? Its alright. If they know each other, love

each other why should I think about them? Anyways, stop thinking about them.

Ah! Forgot I didnt tell you about Arshika right well to say she is the daughter of

our colleges trusty and she thinks she is the sexiest girl in the whole college. Even

guys think she is sexy and she is the most popular figure in college to my bad luck

she is in the same class of mine. Hell! Rocky is staring at me to know what I am

thinking. I got to leave for home now or else I will get into trouble, its already

crossed 2 whole hours.

Ah! Moms calling gotta leave you guys meet you at college tomorrow.

Finally reached home and now I neednt change my dress even just gotta fall flat

on the bed. Totally tired and gotta be going to college tomorrow. Good Night

Baby!!!

NEW DAY NEW PROBLEMS

Morning seems so fresh today, even didnt feel like I wanna sleep some more

time on my bed. And today I woke up all by myself, mom didnt come to wake me

up. There is so much time left to get to college I dont need to hurry up today.

May be today I really dont want to go to college feel like going somewhere else

where I there is a lot of cool air great wind and me singing for myself and to the

air. That would be so nice. How about going now to the corner street near that

bench would be a cool place and there wouldnt be lots of sunshine but mildly

needed and no one around that I could sing for myself. That sounds great. So let

me get ready now. And go faster so that I could get more time before college.

Well I reached here on this bench all alone away from the world, in to my world

where there would be me, only me. May be its sometimes good to be alone. But

not always, as it can scare you or like even make you feel low. When someone

hurts you or when someone leaves you deserted you get depressed and obviously

you tend to be alone. But why am I thinking about sadness when I'm in such a

good mood. Let me start singing now, my own tune that hums right in the air.

When these breezes touching me feels like you are whispering to me, whenthese cold drops gliding my feels like you are feeling me, and these sweet flowers

showering down me seems like the perfume is spreading around me. Though I

think I see you everyday but still you are like my shadow behind me, when would

you show up to me, when I see the mirror wish I could see you behind, why do

you think I'm waiting for you.

May be few words went in through the tune that its alright not bad. But why was

I thinking about someone to come in towards my life? Was it true what mom said

that one day ill share my life with someone I like and he gets in control of me, I

dont want such disaster to happen. Never!

Got to get to college its late again will have to rush, bye bye bench, flowers and

my dear lake.

Just reached college crossed the parking Lott cant see anyone nearby. Why is it

so empty I cant see anyone?

Well my phone is ringing; its Rachel why is she calling me now?

Rachel: Hey Babes where are you? Did you forget that today we have got the

college restoring of art committees meeting, and you have to be here as you

are one of the member. They are finding for you, they told you would be dealing

with the speech of the greatness of arts in college with academics, and you

arent here. Where are you? Be there in the Indira Stadium within 5minutes.

Me: Ah! Fish! I totally forgot about it today, you mean I should be dealing with

the speech, can there be any substitute. I just cant do it now. Ill be there by

5minutes talk to you there. Bye.

Rachel: Bye, get here fast.

Ah! Man, problem I totally forgot about the speech, I even dont know a word

what should I be saying. The speech I wrote is in my room. I even didnt bring it

with me so that I could manage at least by giving a look to it. Ah! God help me!

Hey forgot why not I ask Arjun to mail it to me ASAP so that I could manage

reading it out, may a little safe side. Good Idea! I didnt know my brain could workthis sharp even when its this much tensed. Hats off! Let me call him 1

st.

Ha done baby, we can say technology is the best if it wouldnt have been there I

would have been totally undergrounded as the committee and meeting was

totally proposed by me. Anyways reached the door, got to get in, why is it always

with the doors I hesitate going in, these always scare the hell out of me.

What else should I be doing now? Got to get there till the stage Ah! I hear them

announcing my name now, got to reach there within seconds. Hey made it.

Rachel is here, Let me Tell her Its ok ill do with the speech, I got the rough draft I

can manage. Is it time now can you give me 2seconds will have to be opening the

mail. Oh Baby! There is the whole college hope I dont mess up.


12/42

As soon as I got on the stage guess what I hit the step and would fall down, my

entrance itself was a great humiliation. And after that as soon as I started to

speak everything was a bit ok, even the people started to like what I was saying

about but suddenly dont really know why I said crap in between. Overall

everything was quite cool. Anyways now that the meeting got over I gotta get out

of this stage and auditorium too. Well as I was going down, Rachel followed me

and then we slowly went out of that stadium. After that we met Rocky outside, all

of us were like kinda talking and me still shivering for all the blunders I made on

stage. Though I'm capable enough I dont know why Ive really got this pre-time

nervousness which goes to much hype. May be if that wouldnt be there I would

have been the best among many people. Like everybody doesnt have everything

may be this would be my weakness. Especially the fear of getting humiliated is the

1st

weakness among all, though I say I dont care it doesnt actually mean. Well

some things can be decreased but very gradually. Anyways, let me join the

conversation of Miss Rachel and her dear Rocky.

Me: Hey! What are you talking about?

Rachel: Nothing about your speech, thinking that did it make any effect on our

principal and the committees cause that would be the base for our new room

allocation. But you were good at making an interest in the speech towards you,so that like you were attracting the total members. Babes gotta agree that you

are good at it.

Rocky: Well do you think we gotta discuss all that stuff now, Why not get to

some caf or the beach side Restaurant and talk there. Because its too clumsy

in here, and as you were best among all the people out there and your speech

did rock so you gotta be celebrating babes.

Me: Alright sounds cool lets go!

As soon as we got to an end there came The Hunk Mr. Jay. Let me say his words.

Jay: Hey! You were good; I liked the way you tried to motivate. Marvelous,

really I seriously appreciate you.

Jay: Actually Arshika is my family friend and business partners. I didnt meet her

from past 3 years I guess. Before that for holidays I used to meet her. She is

kinda arrogant, she has that from her childhood only it doesnt matter to me a

lot.

Me: Alright lets move on now, Rachel get on my bike. And you both would be

coming together.

Thank god called Rachel to my bike or else that Hunk would have taken the

advantage. But he aint that interested in me though. Now got that fishy thing out,

they are just childhood friends but who knows about the relationship. Well on the

way to the beach yippee my favorite place in this whole world is the beach. No

matter what time beach always looks beautiful. Especially in the full moon light it

glows amazingly beautiful. Well reached it now. Even guys reached, now going to

get in the restaurant. As we sat down Rocky started,

Rocky: So how was your old college any cool chicks out there? So how many

relationships were you in dude? Well if you think that I'm asking in front of

these girls you neednt worry as they arent chicks anyways. And you neednt

worry at all.

How dare he say that, not now let this Hunk go and then Ill give him both left andright.

Jay: Actually no one will believe me but I didnt even kiss any girl, and about

relationships none. Many girls had crush on me but really dont know why most

of them use to keep distance from me they think I show attitude cause I'm

looking good. But I dont think that I look good.

As he was speaking Rachel was looking at me and showing weird expressions that

look at him how nice he is. Ah! Fuck! That isnt true he is just bluffing Mr. Bluff

master. Well this Rocky hasnt got any other work expect interviewing this hunk

and asking him stupid questions. As they were talking I dont know why I felt like

going into the waters of the beach, and may be my instincts told me before only

that in the morning I got myself an extra pair. So I just interrupted saying I'm

going. And these people didnt pay much attention, so I just left and was


15/42


16/42

As he said that he started to remove his clothes, oh gosh! He was looking damn

hot, Hes got abs and even his biceps are looking hot. I guess he works out in the

gymnasium every day. Oh man! I think thats the reason all these girls have crush

on him. Well As we slowly moved into the waters, where as Rocky and Rachel

enjoying in the sand. Well then Jay started to move a bit closer, didnt know why

some kinda reactions were taking place in my body, it isnt that I have a crush on

him. No way! That isnt possible.

Jay: So Do you come frequently to the beach?

Me: Ya most of the time.

Jay: to me you seem like you have a total hatred on guys who flirt and you dont

like people trying out for you.

Me: But

Jay: and even now youcant admit it, I felt that. And when that day you came to

the continental you were like checking me out. You had some kinda weird

expression that why the hell is this guy here. When you saw me and shika you

had some other kind of expression. But your every expression has an in-depth

meaning. You are like the deep blue sea which shows different colors as you go

in finding out.

Me: I just cant say anything.

Jay: Even now I can trace out your expression but if I tell you what it is about,

you will definitely freak on me.

Me: Oh Gosh! I guess I can say its really tough to look at you now.

Jay: It isnt like that I just wanted you to open up and express what you feel;

though I understand your expressions they are just half way through. And I just

wanted to make it clear that I aint trying out for you. I just thought maybe we

could be good friends.


17/42

17

Me: Well I believe in making true friends, and I think to make you my friend it

could take a little bit more time. And to say about all my feelings I think you

need to get a little closer to me.

Jay: But dont really know why theres some reason that you are keeping me faraway and making a lot of distance between us. I even feel you are showing a

different stance at me that is making a gap which I'm not able to fill in. Anyways

its up to you.

Me: Hey! It isnt like that I just need a little time to get used with, and

automatically you get set up. But I think to be truthful its true that I need to tell

what exactly I wanna tell to you, maybe not now, but some other good day.

As I ended it like this and then I swam a little bit that he was too close to me

looking so sexy. I can say my heart wanted him, but dont know why all these

reactions are happening in me. Why? Dont tell me that this is all because I feel

like I like him. No way! Never can it happen. And as we finished that superb sexy

swim, I came back dried myself up and then wore my clothes and it was almost 2

in the noon. We had lunch, talked so much time. I think Mr. Jay isnt that bad. He

is nice, loving, caring and treats his friends well. The way he talks is even nice.

Well but why am I thinking all this stuff, cut it. Cut out the crap.

Rachels coming I better get home now, its kinda boring.

Rachel: Baby whatz up? How is he? Hes so damn hot baby, Im just going crazy.

Now you gotta tell me about what all did you talk? Im not gonna let you go.

Me: Well nothing so hot, I admit that he is good looking, he talks good and hes

a real eye catcher, attention puller. But still I dont like him. Is that clear?

Rachel: Ah! Its up to you babes, but I knew that he is kinda flirting on you,

might be he thinks youre sexy.

Me: Nothing like that, he just thinks I'm different.

And we actually ended up here like those guys joined us, and Jay got dressed and

was like so what are you guys thinking to be doing know?


18/42

18

Me: Lets get home now I'm tired. And just feel like sleeping.

Rocky: Can you and Jay go together because Rachels hostel is near home, so I

could just drop her and get near. By the way even Jays home is nearby your

home only I just came to know. So what do you say?

Me: Oh! Ok! Ill be dropping him. Then lets start now.

Well I'm going mad, its awful now me dropping him Oh gosh! I'm so not gonna

drop him.

Me: Hope you wont mind to sit back cause I dont like guys driving my bike.

Jay: Nah! Not a problem until you drive safe, moreover I aint that good at

driving girls bikes.

Me: So where do you stay?

Jackson: Get till the 3rd

lane of the Fosters colony, Ill tell you from there.

Me: Oh! Ok will be going.

As I started it was quite ok, I guess I got adjusted with the fact that I'm taking this

total attitude Hunk to his home on my bike. I guess I'm doing it so I shouldnt be

thinking of it. As I reached the 3rd street and then he asked me to get to the last

and there my favorite home, which looks so damn beautiful, which I always

admired and to my astonishment its his home.


19/42

19

MY PROBLEMS ARENT BIG LIKE I THINK OF

As soon as I reached that home and asked him,

Me: Is this your home? I know this home; Ive been to this area many times. I

like this house a lot.

Jay: Would you like to come in for a while just like some tea or coffee?

Me: May be next time, not now. Some other day surely I would love to come in.

Jay: But wish you would come today, like dont know when again we would be

meeting like this.

Me: If you insist so I would come in.

Jay: Ah! Love you.

Well, did he mean it? Nah! It was just an expression that Ive was going in. As I

went in the Hall was marvelous, not less than a palace. The interior too is as

beautiful as it looks from outside. And its really sweet smelling inside. As I moved

in I found an old man, about in his 70s or so. Then I gotta know that its his

grandpa. As I was left in the room with grandpa and he went to get something in

the meantime I talked to his grandpa.

Grandpa: So Girl, how are you? Are you studying with Jay? Where do you live?

Are you born here?

So many questions at a time thats what I was thinking about then.

Me: I'm Fine thank you, Ya I'm studying in the same class of Jay, and I stay

across the park in the next lane. My dad works in the Ark Factory in the outer

city, and we are here from when I was three in the same home.

Grandpa: Oh! Good. Jay just used to come here for holidays, but when this

disaster happened that he lost his Mom, Dad and 14 year old sister he then

shifted here to stay with me as he couldnt stay alone in that big home in that

city.


20/42

But he feels sad about that accident every time but he never tells it to anybody.

Me: Oh! But he never told us about that, we used to ask him why did you leave

such a big college, but he never used to answer us. He always used to skip it up.

Jay: Ah! So what stories are you telling her grandpa, scaring her away from the

house huh!

Me: Nothing like that, your grandpa is really nice and welcoming, I just like him

a lot. Youre really lucky. And youve got a great home. I just love this place.

Jay: Ah! Well you even didnt see the whole house, come on let me show you

my room.

As he said that he lead me towards the stair case, and then in a corner there was

a door, as I opened the door a real vast place, a huge bed, a corner table, a book

shelf and the best part was the balcony on the opposite side. I liked it so much. As

soon as I entered, I went near the balcony, I didnt know why I felt like the lake

where I go every day, and felt like its my own entire place.

Then when slowly the breeze passed on to me and I was lost in that marvelous

feeling, then slowly Jay moved near me. Though he was too close I felt it nice, I

felt warm, and I felt safe. I didnt know I had a great feeling that hes all mine,never felt so romantic. As he moved a little bit closer I got a little bit distracted

that suddenly some leaf particle brushed up in to my eye with the air. He was

trying to help me out, and I could barely hear his heart beat. His fragrance

surrounding me, my eye didnt pain that much as I was indulged in all these

feelings. For a fraction of second I was lost in some world. And then when than

thing came out of my eye, and he led me towards the wash room. He moved

away. Then when I saw my eye in the mirror, oh my god! It was all in blood red. I

didnt think it could turn this bad, tears were falling out my little bit swollen eye.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom he brought me ice so that my eye could

get a little lighter. Then as I kept the ice on my eye, he moved a little closer and

asked me,


21/42

21

Jay: How is it now? Hope you are feeling better. I must have told you that the

breeze is strong in the balcony and it sometimes hurts up like this. I'm sorry.

Me: Ah! Its ok. Not a big deal, its just little bit swollen will get back to normal

after few hours I guess so. Well Can I ask you something?

Jay: Ya sure go ahead.

Me: I know its tough to live with the fact that youre parents are no more. I

admire your sister, she is so beautiful. Like you.

Jay: But you got to deal with the fate, its all accordingly. My sister; she is the

best among all girls in every aspect. Well so did you say that I'm good looking?

Me: Sort of, but you have lots of arrogance. Thats why I hated to talk to you.

Jay: So you hated me and you taught that I had arrogance. Well how did you

think that I had arrogance?

Me: I dont know I just felt like that. Its my personal feeling.

As soon as the door got knocked and a maid entered he diverted it to,

Jay: Well! So what would you like to drink? Fruit juice, milkshake, soft drinks?

What about anything to eat?

Me: No thank you. I guess I better leave now.

Jay: But it just 4oclock in the evening and your home is just the opposite lane,

why not stay for little more time. I would feel little better, or else I would get

more lonely today after all your company.

Me: Ah! If you insist so its alright Ill be staying.

Jay: Thank you so much.

Me: Its my pleasure being here. Ive never thought I would enter into this

house. I dont know why I always admired this home, felt like this was mine it

belonged to me. And I never thought that I would come in and talk in here.


22/42

22

Jay: Some things happen like you never know why and how they happen.

This line is really gross. I mean the simpler it was the way he told but the

complexity was way too deep.

Me: Oh! Well thats true!

Jay: Is that true that you never gone for a date? And like why did you ignore

boys that much? Always I see you; I mean from when I came here, you seem so

typical that I feel no one can ever be like you. There feels like its something

much hidden about you that you never wanna let it show. You keep on

suppressing those feelings and you dont want yourself to cross those

boundaries drawn, you just want it to be the same with no thrills and

adventures. You arent a risk taking person according to my calculations.

Me: Actually I dont know why you think that I'm that much complicated; I'm

quite same like all other girls in this town. I aint that different, like you think.

I'm just a little bit independent and ambitious thats all. And thinking ill become

what I want someday isnt that peculiar I guess. Because everybody has dreams,

desires and they wish for them to be true someday.

Jay: Independent and ambitious sounds interesting.

As soon as he said that there were glasses of hot chocolate for both of us which

the maid got in.

Jay: I taught you would like this better than the other drinks. And it tastes sweet

like you.

Me: Oh! I love it.

Did he say that I am sweet? Well he did so, whats gonna matter anyways. Well

But why am I thinking that I wish he moves a little bit more closely just feels like

he stays around me. Does he feel like I feel? May be who knows? I guess he is

pretty smart and can predict me better than I think off, whats wrong if I go on a

date with him? May be he could be my 1st

boy friend?


23/42

23

What did I just think off? Oh Man! I'm just breaking my rules off; I have some

kinda certain living standards, I aint gonna change them for some guy who

seemed sexy and attractive to me. If even he is interested in me, I even liked his

home, his grandpa. So, it isnt gonna work out babes, as he is a rich guy. And I

guess he might like his childhood friend shika. Who knows? All I know is that I'm a

little attracted to him and no other guy in this whole town did attract me like this.

He is an attention seeker so obviously I must have got attracted to him and giving

him this much attention isnt needed. So I quit. Forget about the date.

Jay: Hey! What are you thinking? Hows the Hot chocolate? Did you like it?

Me: Ah! Ya its scrumptious and yummy. Hey! forgot about the English project

we got to work on. We got to be depicting a drama almost a duration of 5 to 10

minutes on the stage. And it could be any script, we could be the writers or it

could even be Romeo and Juliet like mam said, as she was particularly

suggesting because we were then only duo left.

Jay: Ya totally forgot about that. I think Romeo and Juliet would be great but it

takes a lot of practice with those dialogues. How about we write something

original? It can be a love story.

Me: This sounds ok. But though like if we write it wouldnt take that much timein practicing it but would take time to write it down. Anyways, we will discuss it

later. I guess I gotta leave now. Mom would be waiting for me, as I told her ill be

coming early and its already too late.

Jay: Ah! Alright but please be coming here, and remember that these doors are

always open to you.

Me: Ah! Surely, thank you for your hot chocolate and wonderful bed.

Jay: Thats my honor.

Me: Good Bye!

Then left for home, Ah! Baby I still cant forget his superb experience. I totally

forgot to check my phone. It was in my bag in the vibrate mode. Rachel texted me


24/42

24

10 text messages Oh gosh! If I tell her this shes gonna so totally freak out on me

saying he seriously has a crush on me. But I dont think he has, But in between all

this may be I've gone in to a serious crush on him. No baby, youve not gonna let

your heart melt so faster, you cant let yourself into this and you can do it.

You dont have a crush. Anyways, let me text Rachel now.


25/42

25

A NEW TURNING POINT NEVER EXPECTED

As soon as I texted Rachel she sent me a text saying that its urgent call me ASAP.

Then as I called her up,

Rachel: Hey! Guess what weve got our last semester result its open at college

now. It isnt given in the internet; youve got to check up the notice board it

seems. I dont know what my result is. I tried calling up rocky so he could be

giving us the result but I guess hes out with his friends, He isnt even lifting the

phone at all. I'm totally scared with the Economics score, because if I flunk I

cant show my face to my mom and dad, theyll definitely get angry on me.

Me: I cant be going out now, as its already late and you know mom is gonnafreak out on me, why not any other person might be at college, or else let me

try texting others in college, may be Neel or Lilly might have gone to college.

Rachel: Alright please try getting the result today I cant be waiting till

tomorrow. Babes wish me luck, Good Bye!

Me: Bye

Oh No! Not know. I dint want these results to come now, and if I get less marks ill

have to give up all other stuff and get stuck with the educational stuff. And its so

totally gonna ruin everything, let me 1st

text all the friends numbers in my phone

list if anyones in college now.

As I sent that many text messages thought at least one single person would be at

college and I got it right,

Neel: Hey! Babes, I'm in college right now. You neednt worry you passed off in

every subject.

Me: Oh! Thank god, great news. What about Rachel, Rocky and yours?

Neel: I'm the topper in the class, Rocky got flunk in 2 subjects and Rachels got

through all of them, even she passed.


26/42


27/42

27

Me: Aright ill get ready, let me go to college. Ill get ready and come down.

Ma: Alright, make it fast again youll make up that you wont be eating, Ill get

you a brunch.

Me: Ok, Ma!

What the Hell? Why did I wake up this late? What must have happened? Dont

know got to catch up with them at least in this afternoon.

As I got to college everybody was kinda in different moods because of those

results. I was kind of ok, I didnt mind much. After that sir announced that there

arent any classes in the afternoon I mustnt have come to college today. Then

Rachel started to say that she doesnt want to go to that stupid hostel, I was like

why wouldnt you come to my home, itll be fun.

Rachel: But it isnt like that, aunty wouldnt be there, we both sneaking into the

house. Looks kinda weird, plan something else babes

As she said that came Mr. Jay who always interrupts in between.

Jay: Hey! Would you like to come to my home, and we play a game or anything.Rocky said yes, you ladies are left to be coming, so what do you people say?

Me: Ah! But do we have to?

Rachel: We would love to be there is only rocky coming or did you invite

anybody else?

As Rachel said yes Ive got stuck. I should be going again, its alright.

As Rachel and Jay were talking I saw Neel in such a tense position. He was never

like that, I just tried to call him but he was so tensed and running off that he

didnt hear me. So we moved on to Jays Home.

I didnt know why somethings gone wrong with Neel, Why dont I try calling him

up on the phone?


28/42

28

As I called up Neel, He lifted the phone, and a shock.

Neel: Hey! I'm in hospital, bad news they couldnt save mom.

He said that and burst into tears. I asked him in which hospital and he told me.

We all rushed to the hospital, as soon as we could. I found Neel totally in tears

never saw him in that sorrowful weak condition, he wasnt able to control

himself. Its really tough to digest the fact that your mom isnt there for you. As he

saw me I dont know why he cried even more, he hugged me. He wasnt in normal

condition I couldnt control him that even I went in tears. And I called up mom

told her that Ill be coming late. After all that Jay was waiting for me, when rocky

and Rachel left. Jay and I were going home, he was driving bike. I didnt even

speak a word. Didnt know why I felt like hugging him. And as he was driving I

holded him tightly, I felt like crying didnt know why I did it but felt nice after that.

Dont know why what he would have taught of me? But its totally weird. Even

Neel catching like that and crying was kinda weird like I belonged to him. I felt he

was feeling me like that. Or it was just because of that close to me, and as he was

that emotionally down. Maybe its thats all, and me hugging Jay is also for that

kinda comfort which made me uncomfortable. I guess Im much attached to Jay.

As I reached home, he didnt speak anything to me. Whereas I told him to take my

bike and pick me up tomorrow, he just saw me weirdly that some kinda hormonesgot raised up in my body. He didnt say a word took my bike and went home. Ive

got to go inside.

Anyways its late now, I guess I better not think too much and sleep. Or else Ill go

mad, about all these stuff.

Whats it? I guess Ive got a text. My mobile just got buzzed. Where did I keep it?

Ha! Found it, well its from Jay. Oh boy! Why did he text me now?

Jay: Hey! Can I say something, why the hell did you hug me? I dont know what

kinda feelings these are but feel like I need you with me now. I just dont know

how you feel, or I dont know whether I should tell all these things with you or

not. But couldnt stay without telling you, I feel like I wanna share everything

with you, this doesnt mean I'm disturbing you.


29/42

29

After all this large text I didnt know what to reply, after thinking so much about

sending a text I finally texted him that,

Me: I dont really know what I should be telling you about my feelings. I dont

know if I need you. But didnt know why I wanted to tightly hug you, and thatmade me feel better today. But I didnt want this to happen. Ive got lot of

desires on my own life I dont want to let anyone change the track of this path

way in my life. But I guess Ive already fallen apart from that path way, but I

think I'm liking this which shouldnt be.

As I sent this text he didnt reply me. After all that I slept. And in the morning to

my amusement as I woke up got ready for college, I saw Jay eating breakfast in

the kitchen talking to Mom very affectionately, and mom laughing on some joke.

How could he come so fast? Well I guess I gotta interrupt that conversation.

Well, as I got down mom wanted me to eat breakfast, I guess she liked Jay.

Then as soon as I got down to the stair case, he didnt bring my scooty home. He

started saying,

Jay: Your pretty scooty is in my home, I couldnt bring both so thought that I

could take you till my home and then you would take yours. And I guess you

better stop giving me such angry looks.

Me: All right, I aint looking angry FYI.

Jay: Get on now.

As soon as I got on the bike felt like telling him that yesterday was all just a night

mare. And I dont love you buddy. Cause Ive got to many guys out there dying for

my single glance. I'm the super girl who cant even be called super because I'm

much better than that. I cant fix to somebody bloody Hunk and forget all my

other diehard fans waiting out there. Main kaha aur tu kaha.

But how should I start,

Jay: Hey! About yesterday forget all about it. Its all just crap, and all weird stuff.

You and I dont think its correct.


30/42

30

Me: Ah! Its fine you dont need to talk about that. I know its way too weird.

Jay: All right then.

Thank god, I didnt have to take much of the risk, he told it right away. Babes you

are a free bird and will be a free bird away from all those men.

Well Reached his home, got my scooty and back to my routine. He was just a pass

away dude though.


31/42

ANOTHER DAY, BUT SOME KINDA SORROW INSIDE

As soon as I reached college, everything seemed very normal. In classes really

missed Neel, Dont know felt really bad. He loves his mom so much. And its gonna

take so much time for him to get back to normal. The way he cried, he was in avery bad stage. All this day passed out thinking about him only. I better go to his

home today. May be he could feel better.

Me: Hey! Neel, how are you?

Neel: What to say, I really cant digest the fact.

Me: I know is tough, even I cant believe it. Aunty was so close to me; I just cant

say this word.

And that made me into tears, I didnt know I went to console him and I burst into

tears and the reverse process happened. Why god made weak hearts for women?

Really men are far stronger than us in emotional grounds though. Why am I

discussing this stuff now?

Like about two hours passed away talking to Neel and then I said I would be

leaving and I left. It crossed 8clock and the roads were too marooned. Dont

really know at night when strangers surround you then you get some kinda fear

inside you, but even if no one is around and you are all alone, even that fears you.

Really all these feelings are the game players and when some feelings go extreme

you get to the game over process. Actually thinking too much about some kinda

things so much also can cause hyper tension and you get into extreme thinking.

Hm! I think sometimes in these kinda situations also I go into some trauma and

get in more trouble. Theres nothing to fear of, believe me, no one can harm you.You are the best, (this isnt apt here). Whatever, ride your bike safe youll reach

home theres nothing to worry.


32/42

IT HAD TO HAPPEN

Well! Going on through the way and then suddenly, came across a turn. As I just

crossed it then didnt know from where such bright white light came which was a

thousand times brighter than the tube light, but unlike the sunlight it was reallypure white. Dont know where my scooty vanished away. Feeling like I'm standing

on a white paper. Totally white no other color anywhere. Cant even look at

myself, feels like only my eyes are present to see that white light and the rest of

my body is completely crystal clear. I'm really confused, what happened to me?

Whats going on? Help me! Can anyone tell me where the hell I'm lost?

Then after 24hrs my eyes opened out and then I came to know that because some

extreme light from a vehicle coming ahead my eyes got temporarily blinded and Ifell off on the road and where luckily a couple of my college guys whom I dont

know much were passing off the streets took me to the hospital called up my

mom and informed her. Mom was already into lots of tension that it was late and

started to partially sob and scold me cause of this little incident. I know if

something worse had happened, there can be either ways. Well after one whole

day missing out in white wash walls in my eyes I went home to my pink colored

mansion and had a great sleep once again.

The next day I woke up was at 8 in the morning, got to go to college already

skipped 2 days after those results hungama. As soon as I reached college and all

my friends were always early than me, cause mom warned me to get to my

scooty and I had to go in the mucky city bus which goes down the lane a total

tragedy. Well and my hair was totally messed up as I sat beside the fisherwoman

who was totally stinky that my hair attracts fast to all the smells out there. As I

entered the college I didnt want one person to get near me now as I totally

smelled like a dead fish, and that person is none other than shika rani. Ah! Boy it

all happened. May be every story should have these slimy, shiny girls with all

those glam and sham. Im not gonna be one among them. They say all men are

the same though they may seem nice, they naturally arent. So though I'm kind of


33/42

33

attracted towards him its not gonna workout anyway. Well! Gotta listen to this

miss college beauty or shes gonna think I'm gone mad that I'm talking to myself.

Arshika: Hey! What happened to you? Were you selling fishes? Didnt you get a

better part time job? If you needed one you must have asked me as I needed anassistant to clean up my room, then at least you would have the perfume of my

room freshener.

Me: Ah! Very well! Thank you. I think the smell of fishes is much better than

artificial room fresheners. And thank you so much for the offer, but I guess I

cant make it as I'm already filled up with many fishes to work.

Actually there wasnt only shika waiting for my reply, beside her in the corner

cross-eyed staring at me was Jay. He taught I wasnt observing him and he was

checking out the whole rap session. Of course, it was quite common for the whole

college about shika her beauty and her richest dad. So no one ever made her feel

bad as she had a lot of over confidence, but may be sometimes even that works

out good that you dont care upon anybodys words and they dont hurt you at all.

Unlike me, who thinks upon everybody in the world and get in to humiliation

which has become a born factor in me these days. I better get in to the rest room

as I'm really stinking badly that my own smell is making me puke. Rush!

Thank god I had an extra dress and my deo with me. As I changed and went back

to attend those classes, already Sir went inside the classroom I had to struggle to

get his attention and drop in. My place was left open out there but one there but

one thing which changed was I could see Neel far away and Jay in Neels place

which the chair beside me, not again. I dragged myself till there and settled down

where all these people stopped staring at me and turned towards the board. I was

absent mindedly thinking something not even paying a minimum attention to the

lecture out there.

The day just passed off so impetuously that I didnt know what I was doing the

whole day. In all these classes I dont know what happened, everything was so

mysterious mess. As the day got over and I had to leave in the bus again I just


34/42

34

wished good bye to Rachel and was thinking to move, when the J-man entered

into the scene.

Jay: Hey! Are you fine? I think you must have taken rest today, you look so

fragile and pathetic.

Pathetic, this wasnt supposed to be used. I swear I'm gonna sue you J-man.

Me: Nah! Its alright I'm very fine. That was just a bad accident and its just

gonna take a few hours more to become enthusiastic again.

Jay: Take care babes. I gotta meet you tomorrow remember weve got our

English project dated on this Monday. And tomorrow is Thursday. Hope you get

back to me after all this has got over. Good bye.

Me: Ya, I remember you know its been a hard time with all these circumstances

around me. Lets work out tomorrow, conform as its also a holiday. Ill let you

know at what time Ill be meeting you tomorrow. Till then just think of the story

and the characters again. Ill also focus on it.

Oh Boy. I totally forgot about that project. But why was Jay being so rude at me.

He never nagged at me like this. It was just a project and we would work it out

within no time, though he knew what all happened through all those days. Itseemed to perplexing to digest. And now I can see him far away on his bike al

alone going home. He even didnt think of dropping me home, as he knew I didnt

come on my bike today. Why am I caring about that now? He wasnt there in my

college before, and then I had no problem in going home all alone. Things change

people change, but I'm never gonna change.

I muttered to myself and ran towards an empty bus, I even didnt turn back to

check whether Rachel was looking at me or not.


35/42

ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY

Its Thursday morning already and I just had to call up Jay to make up for that

English project. But I didnt think of any story at all, he might have taught. Ive

gotta call him up and figure out whether he would come to my place or wherewould we get going with the work without any disturbances.

Me: Hey! Good Morning Jay.

Jay: Hey! I didnt think you would call me up this early, I taught you needed

much more time. So, do you think you are fit for getting involved into the

project?

Me: Yeah! Absolutely. Where do you want to do the project would you comeover to my place?

Jay: Actually Grandpas out of town for some kind of meeting. And he wont be

back till tomorrow, it would be nice if you would come here as its solitary and

we could concentrate more upon the project. What do you say?

Me: Well, then Ill come over. Meet you at sharp 9.

Jay: Ok, Will be waiting.

As soon as I cut the call I looked over the clock it was already 8o clock and I

seriously gotta hurry up. I even didnt brush, got to get up.

As I reached his home, that pleasant welcoming fragrance was flowing through as

it always flew whenever I admired of staying in such a house. As I entered the

gate everything was so calm that it scared me a little but the beauty made me

forget that feeling. Then I got through the entrance door, as I rung the bell a maid

came and opened the door. She pointed me towards Jays room. Then I walked


36/42

36

slowly through all the stairs and then as I got there the door was left open I

knocked it and called out his name but there wasnt any answer then I just went

two steps forward. Gasp for air as I was in his arms. He scared the hell out of me.

As soon as I got into his room he just showed up so close that I got scared and fell

down into his arms. He was in his shorts minus the t-shirt. Lovely, he was looking

damn hot than ever before. But I didnt feel that good like I felt before, because

my head was filled with a lot of disgust against him for yesterday. As he got me

straight and then open his super sexy lips to speak,

Jay: Did I scare you? I think you told me you got over with all that sickness, and

now you just stumbled into my arms. Great recovery babes, I appreciate you.

Me: You dont need to show me that much disgust, by the way its your entire

fault you scared me. And I'm totally fine, I didnt fall on purpose.

Jay: Chill! I know you didnt eat anything, aunty called me up just now. She

explained how you got ready to get here at time and what time you woke up.

First lets have breakfast and then well get to our main intention.

Me: Fine! Ill eat.

I told this and was cursing mom in a whispering voice. He heard me saying. He

gave me a devilish smile, I just liked that smile. Then the maid came upstairs and

told us to get to the dining hall.

As we moved there we sat side by side to each other, might be moms told him

that I love scrambled egg, a croissant and Florida orange juice for breakfast. And

this combi wasnt too frequent in my home. When I insisted mom too much she

would get me after many wars of breakfast at home. This was really astonishing.

Me: Hey! Did you know that I liked all these for breakfast, or was it like some

wild guess that it would be fine for me?

Jay: Well, to speak the truth I knew it before and I planned it yesterday night

itself. I taught you would come over for breakfast.

Me: But I didnt tell you that I would show up that early.


37/42

37

Jay: Ya, you didnt but I knew. You can think of it like a wild guess.

Me: Guess so.

As we mixed up this conversation, and emptied our glasses. Then we moved on,

he started,

Jay: Where would you like to start our project? How about my room? I can take

out the doors through the balcony it gives in all the sunlight, and itll be

comfortable too. What do you say?

Me: As you wish.

He just moved up towards his room, and then I dont know I felt so cozy that I

immediately jumped into his bed like a small sweet little kitten would jump into a

the soft sofa as soon as it finishes drinking its milk. Meanwhile, jay was opening

the curtains across the room to let the light get in. I was into such a comfortable

feeling which made me hover like a spike in that sponged cushion of his bed. He

just opened one curtain across, the room which let a very light ray of sun beam

into the room. Then he came towards me thinking that I slept as I closed my eyes,

he took over the blanket, covered me up. Then he closed even that curtain which

he opened before. As he moved away leaving me on that bed and then I could

hear his phone ringing, it was mom for sure. I could surely get it from the way he

was answering her.

Then I just couldnt open my eyes though I was conscious. He got on the bed

beside me, without moving the bed even a little. He was sitting on the bedcover

whose under I was sleeping, and he was beside me without any movement. His

presence beside me felt so overwhelming. Then I slowly tried to open my eyes,

and then I just moved a little bit closer to him, with my eyes half open I tried to

pull away the bedcover to get him into it. May be my attempt worked that he got

into the bedcover and then he got to my ear Are you awake? I just moaned,

which was a yes. He was in a very pleasing tone that it made me melt for him; He

asked me again You better take rest for some more time. Dont worry about the

project. I tried to open my voice but I dont know why I couldnt speak a word in

return. There was some kind of feeling that didnt let me talk; instead it made me


38/42

38

go even closer around him and which made me pull him too close on that sponge

cushion bed under that bedcover. As I did that I could hear his breath very clearly

in my ear. And I could feel his lips wanting to tell me something which wasnt

getting out. I didnt know how it happened why it happened, but then it had

happened.

He kissed me on my ear, which sounded like the best music Ive ever heard. And

then he kept on breathing vigorously that I could hear my heartbeat to that sound

of his breath making a tune that never ever existed. That sound lasted for a few

seconds after which he moved away trying to go, I could know his breath getting

less through my ears, pacing down.

To my astonishment when my eyes got open completely wide, I could find him in

the corner of the room in his chair writing. Was that all just a delusion? Was he

really that far away? Might be true, he wouldnt land in that close to me. And that

one curtain is still open and the others are closed. So it was all just my dream. So

fantastically lay. Whatever, but dont know why I cant get myself to get out of the

bed. As he saw me struggling in myself to get up, he came near me.

Me: Whats the time now?

Jay: Its 11oclock.

Me: Did I sleep two whole hours? I didnt know how I just got unconscious.

Jay: Its alright. I got the story done; you got to make your dialogues to fit in and

memorize nothing much. If you want me write your dialogues and you would

easily get them, Ill do that also. If you wanna take some more rest go ahead.

You dont seem that good; would you like to have some milk or anything else?

Me: Nah! I'm fine. I can do my dialogues, you neednt do that also. Will you

come a little closer so that I could just check out the story without getting off

the bed?

Jay: Yeah! Sure.

As I said this he moved closer to me, got up to the bed sat beside me. I got up

from the bed cover, folded it towards the upper side and moved closer, leaning a

little bit closer to his shoulder and I was looking into the rough draft of the story

he had written. He was so indulged into the story that he even didnt feel that I

was too close to him. This wasnt a dream now, I know it. As he was going on

telling me the story, and I almost pretended like I was listening to him though I

didnt. His voice so tenderly curving through the air which made my hair shove.

That it was like some fairy tale with some magical spell which made me listen

totally indulged into such fabulous feelings. May be they say its all the magic of

your special age combined by your true souls of spirits which lead you into an

enthusiastic journey of mating. I'm sounding like some animalism, having their

stages of life. Yuck! I totally suck. It rhymed but very oddly. I dont know why

again I'm feeling dizzy, like in matter of no seconds I landed onto his shoulder. He

stopped reading like a sudden tremor landed over him. He looked at me, Ive

already closed my eyes, he just tried to move a little bit, I didnt know why I did it

but I caught hold of him till the other side. He had a small snigger at me as soon as

he found me catching him tightly. He gently kissed my forehead and slowly

whispered to my ear.

Jay: Hey! What happened? Is anything wrong?

I answered still with my eyes closed arms wound around his waist.

Me: Jus say still I dont want you to move, just stay beside me.

Jay: Alright, anything if you persist so.

Me: Do you like me?

Jay: Why are you asking me that question now?

Me: Answer me, I need to know. You dont know what kinds of feelings are

arousing in me. You skip away everything, making me feel all these weird stuff.

You never show up, but instead make me jealous, cover me in disgust. You walk

away so easily without even looking.ba.ck

As I was going on talking I dont really know he just pulled up my face turned

towards me, smacked up directly into my lips which made my eyes shutter for

some moments. He was just like some blood sucking parasite, sucking my lips

pulling them adroitly. The way they moved through mine was just like some

magical spell changing each other. He moved his hands through my hair very

softly like he was feeling all the velvetiness in my tresses. The way he moved in

every move it just felt so frivolously relieving me all the pain felt in all these days. I

dont know I didnt want to leave his lips away, but as I gasped for air I had to

back down, and landed back to his shoulder. I could hear his heart beat robustly

against mine, and the way his breath landed into my ears at a very pleasing sound

which depicted all that he wanted to say is I want you. He was kissing those nerve

points on my neck which wanted his lips so desperately. I didnt know why but I

just couldnt stop my hands from pulling him even closer to me. We were so

indulged in that magic that we didnt know weve gone too far. But then there

was a sudden withdraw in his arms refluxing away to get to the reality from our

extreme magical fantasy, he just moved a bit far and got down of the bed. I just

lay down flatly still with that extreme moves felt by every nerve of my body which

reached till my heart. He came near to me once again and began to speak after all

his heart beat sound paced down.

Jay: I need to say something. This doesnt mean that I regret for what all Ive

done now. I love you. And I want you so badly, I know even you feel the same.

And maybe we didnt know what we were doing till now, and I know Ive

exceeded too much without telling you what I feel about you. I dont know

anything about you; I never knew what youve planned about your future. Ive

never told mine either. I'm in a confused state that we dont end up our love in

just few days of attraction; I feel strongly now that I need you, and I want you

with me. I know youve got different desires and ambitions I'm never gonna

divert you from those. Apart from that about my life I would like you to know

some more things, and its up to you to decide that you could stand my attitude

forever.

He broke into a small giggle, as soon as he completed these words he moved a

little bit closer such that his face was touch my hair, me situated below him. But

one strange thing is that how did he know that I had my whole life on one Desire,

the one and only ambition which I never revealed to anyone. But how did he

know that. Is he something else than human that he knows all my thoughts

before I told him, Skeptical. He was carefully observing me on what I was thinking

so that now I began to open my twitched lips.

Me: Every time I think about you, you explode up in a very peculiar way. You

know all the words which Ive never told you at all. At the starting when you gotinto this college I always thought if there was a way to ignore you, even the way

you look at me made me feel some kind of burn inside. You acted like you new

everything about me, like you were the one unimagined change which is gonna

turn everything upside down. But that doesnt mean that I'm feeling bad that

you came in my life. But you even mentioned about my desires, how did you

know about that? Really you are the weirdest of all these guys. Like youve got

some magic magnet attraction which gets me towards you always. You are

totally I-n-s-a-n-e.

As I spoke this word I had to speak in that absolute lip smacking directly towards

my lip. He was so indulged in caring me the way he holded my back, my neck line

towards my cheeks in between my bow shaped lips. The passion burning in us

was different from the entire world, which didnt seem like any other romantic

film Ive watched, though its true that films arent reality. But its really strange;

our kiss was something very different, unlike all the people in love had this kind of

magnetic field around like I had for him. For that one drop of care he dropped inme made me feel like Im the only one. And jus dying in such care was the best

among all, is what I felt. He left my lips to let me breathe and knowing that my

fragile lips were already swollen for the tiniest pressure on them, even after all

those care on them, he shifted towards my neck curves, feeling every nerve which

created a tingling effect throughout. Then I just turned my back towards him

ignoring him and began to speak again.

Me: Do you think its right? Enough J. I gotta go.

Jay: Not too early baby. Dont let go. I know you wanna stay.

Jay: Alright I'm out of it, I swear I wont touch you again, lets finish this baby

please.

Me: Alright, I'm staying but just to finish off this English project because I dont

wanna get an F grade for sure.

Jay: Ok baby lets get in now. I meant in that story.

As soon as we started to read out the outline of the story,
