The cell beeped,I put in snooze… but I had to hurry for the college… one month for the semester to get over and I got just 50 percent of attendance…
What happened the previous night.. the hangover and insult at the pub (this ll say in the next blog post) was still not over me…
It was almost 8:25 a.m… I walked out of my block.. stared at the people coming out of the mess.. well it was either to have breakfast or reach college on time… never mind abhay this is your everyday schedule, no breakfast. smiley smiley
It started to drizzle…. Precipitation in any slightest way made me happy because in Chennai summer dominates over all seasons… actually Chennai got just three seasons.. hot hotter and hottest..
I was walking past the not so overflowing lake.. I saw my department2nd yr juniors gathered at the opposite side of the road.. I walked towards them in a intention to ask for a cigarette .. even though I was strictly advised by my doc to quit smoking.. I walked towards my ill – health for a smoke….
Before I could ask them, I pushed my self through the crowd to see – a girl standing out there, confused she looked at me, her hairs long and wet due to rain , one could easily differentiate between the rain drops and tear falling from her eyes… tears running straight down her cheeks...
I came to my senses.. I don need any smoke.. saving her from being ragged is what I wanted then…
“hey guys move on to your class.. its already late” I said calmly..
“ bhaiya , chill.. this is no ragging just an intro…” said prakash..
Before I could reply them, it started to rain cats and dogs… the drizzle turned into heavy drops.. the guys ran for college.. I too thought of moving with them…
But saw this girl… she stood there totally numb… and kept on staring at me…I rubbed out the water falling down of my face and said her “walk with me”in a formal way
She didn’t move ,she still had the shock of not so called ragging . I nudged her so as to make her move .."walk with me" i said formally...she was so slow.. walking with her till the college totally wet was impossiple ..
So I held her hand and gently dragged her to extent of a closed shop. There she stood looking down her feet.. well pedicured nails, this made me remind of shreya ( my girl friend)… she gets her nail paint changed every other day.. in her 15th birth day I gifted her the elle18.. it had colors for all the seven days written on it.. ah remembered the way she hugged me that day. One of pricked dates loving her.. smiley smiley….
Girls are just so conscious about their looks..
“ hi, I’m abhay triwedi, ECE department, two yrs senior to you”
She gave me a innocent look or rather a frowning look..
“don’t worry , I wont ragg you” I laughed a bit.. but no use she still was in a expressionless condition..
Firstly, I was irritated. Secondly I was not interested to any other girl after falling in love with shreya gupta. Somebody just rightly said love happens just once.
Loving shreya was no lust even though we always had a serious make out ..smiley smiley. I developed feelings for her when I was in first semester, away from her and realized how much I missed her. Departure is something that makes u decide and experience…”what is true love”.
I brought my thoughts and temper down.
“hey stop that ,say me ur name??” I managed to fake a laugh.
She wasn’t spilling a pearl from her mouth. I wondered if shreya had been in her place ,she would have blasted those juniors…she is such a smart a**.
I again tried to start up with the conversation..
“hey u gotta a name???”.
“atleast which department” I asked being a bit rude..
I terribly wanted to smoke. It was 9:30, still raining . I’m screwed up with my attendance. and the worst part is- I’m very bad handling girls.(except my girl friend)
Oh God can’t u do something good.. real good… a trouble sealed lips n watery eyed delicate darling with this heavy rain as bonus. thank YOU.
all of a sudden the sun glanced through the heavy clouds. It again drizzled ,the girl started to walk out of the shelter. what was I supposed to do??
Was I rude to her??
I ran and started to walk beside her.
“walking alone ,so you are not afraid of the people ragging you..huh??”
She raised her head and looked up to me but didn’t answer.. well that was nothing surprising ..till now she didn’t answer to any of my question. Was she dumb?
“ your identity card hasn’t been issued, so how seniors recognize you and rag you. Here take it” I said offering my I card. Obviously , She didn’t
“take this” I shouted harshly.
She grab hold of it but with a big question mark on her expression.
“ don’t worry I’ll get it from you when I meet you up with next .. else there is a address of my department, you can give it to me ,if you wish so”
After speaking these stuff I felt like a dumb ,impressing a girl. And knew she will give a more confusing look.
The sun rays fell on her hairs ,giving it a reddish brown outline to the black hairs. I saw her smiling , beautifully . the smile then turned into a big laugh. No wonder it came to me as a huge surprise. I was just staring at her. I smiled back like a fool, I believed it to be some kind of hallucination .
Oh oh ..i had to hurry for the third hour attendance. I ran without turning back . if it had been a hallucination I wanted it to be SO TRUE..smiley smiley..
