CHAPTER 9: She Smiled... He Smiled...
Getting home after long time Is like a prisoner on a parole
for few days. The house you have lived in for decade where you have all the best
moments, memories comes back and gives
you a flash back. The family members welcome you like a guest, entertaining you
with all type of special food item. Ragav’s Mom used to prepare him all best
dishes just name it. Chicken biryani was the favorite for Ragav. You feel like
a Solder just returned from Indo-Pak border.
An engineer never stops working even if he’s asleep the unconscious
mind will be active and doing the calculations or recalling the formulas. Sure
the Engineers brain never stops working. Assignments are the like the Soul mates for an Engineering student. Where ever you go you have the assignments
pages and the pen with you. If you are sincere enough to write the assignments
on your own then you carry the 5 Kg Books with you else you have someone’s
others assignments, just COPY + PASTE. This seems better option but this fails
when you copy a wrong assignment and you get caught by your subject teacher.
The worst thing is when the whole class copies the same assignment and the
whole class is being caught. There’s a true saying that even a “Cheater should
have brains to cheat without getting caught. You keep on writing and do the
others chores simultaneously.
Humans are considered as most advanced animal. And with the
invent of Facebook and other social networking sites are considered the
boosters to any relationship. Just name the person and the next moment you are
chatting with the same. Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg the millionaire college
dropout and his FACEBOOK, it helped Ragav at the initiation step. Surfing at
facebook Ragav thought to search for Arya …
Without second thought he typed the name in search box...
“ARYA”
And the next he saw many profiles named ARYA. Its common
thing that there will be 100s of ARYA around you then how to find the correct
one? One of the Profile showed “2 Mutual
Friends” and there was her cute DP with her cute face smiling at Ragav. BULLS
EYE!!
There was no wasting time in thinking he clicked the send
Request button and the rest story is getting to convert into great history…
Theres no other great
feeling when your crush accepts your friend request . the next step was the
initiation chat … Never show the eagerness to talk with your crush else things
can go in wrong direction and your crush will end up thinking that you are just
like other pervert trying to flirt.
Ragav typed “Did you reached home safely?”
Arya “ yes I reached home J”
Ragav “Good…”
Arya “I dint knew that you take the same bus”
Ragav “I was at the right place and at right time yesterday
;-) “
Arya “still a good coincidence … “
Ragav “ we should get along some day.. why don’t we exchange
the numbers?”
There was silence for 2 mins no reply from her, and the
thoughts “will she reject the offer?” “what if she says no?” “is this the end?”
Then the screen poped ..
Arya “ yea .. 814****”
This was it he passed his first test got the number of his
crush…
Ragav “ ohh thanx will message you whenever I’m going home “
Arya “ ya sure J”
This changed everything for Ragav, life now looked more beautiful
around him and the song played in background “ Pehla Nasha Pehla Khumar… Naya
Pyar hai…” with Agapornis birds also called Love Birds chirping around his
ears. This was perfect moment for him but the things were different on other
side.
Returning to college the first thing on Ragav’s mind was to
meet his dream girl again face to face. He didn't had any clue how and where to meet her in college because he wanted to make it special as it was first
meeting in college. After getting ready and done with dressing up he texted
Arya.. “Hey hi .. Lets meet today in college if you are not busy?”
Arya.. “ya sure vl meet in mid break at 11..”
Ragav “ok no problem J”
Eagerly waiting for her at college corridor during break Ragav
texted Arya … “ Girls are always late …”
Arya “ Stop crying like a baby I’m on my way..”
Ragav “ May be next time.. got to go HODs lecture…”
Arya “ Huhhh.. Good luck with your lecture”
Ragav still waited for her , what’s the point of attending
the lecture when your mind is outside the class searching for her. Just about
he turned to class he saw a girl in pink Punjabi dress walking with elegance. The
beauty on her face was eyes catching. The white matching duppata was waving in
cool morning breeze. Just she was about to step on the stairs the book fell
from her hand. She picked the book with her one hand with other hand she tucked
the two hair strands that fell on her cute face perfectly. All these time Ragav
just stood there memorizing every detail of her moments forgetting about the
HODs lecture.
He texted her again “Looking Beautiful…!!”
Arya…” Where are you ??”
Ragav… “ Just around you..”
Arya…” Don’t play games…else I’m going..”
He dint reply. She continued walking to her class and Ragav
stood there watching his dream girl go. Sometimes it’s better to watch the rhythmic
beauty when you have less guts to talk. She passed Ragav and was about to enter
into her class, she turned back and saw Ragav smiling at her. She recognized
him and waved her hand. Ragav was struck, he waved her back. Ragav thought “What
a Romantic meeting.. Love at first sight”. But he was unaware of the things he was getting into…
