Saga Of First Love__A Giant Leap

Ok! So girls and boys,  ladies and gentlemen-It’s been a week or so since the last post. I was advised to increase the frequency or to make the stories longer but due to some unavoidable circumstances neither of them could materialise and this is where I seem to lack in the blogging community. Things were not so cool in the days that have passed.

Minors{Exams were on head}. They just ended today. I was down with fever and maybe the time I pen down these words I am still ill! Nevertheless-gone are those days and a new start awaits me and I suppose it’s the same for all of you. “Who takes  that bloody line seriously-Make a new  beginning every day.” The subject of moral science tried its best to pour these things down in our head but it couldn’t…

Coming back to what has been doing the rounds from past 15 days or so. Saga Of First Love continues…

The Story Starts:

                                   (Flashback:5 Years ago)

29^th August 2016:

SO! The boy was slapped hard on his face and the girl was naturally awestruck. Sameer was clueless. It was just another time when his own sub-conscious mind had taken over his thought-process. This had been quite common in the recent days but what happened on 29 was unimaginable. So it was not a thunderstroke-Everyone else was not that affected and they continued with what they had been doing before.

“What’s wrong with you?”Ishita shouted.

 #BANDI NE BANDE KO DEFEND KIYA.COMMITTED THI KYA!” Sameer’s own imagination was not ready to bring him down to the realms of reality! Poor lad.

“Moreon! Are you stupid?”The unknown slapped guy shouted

.#Pyaar kitna bhi tagda ho. Saamne se maar padne vaali ho to phatti toh hai!. Sameer was still clueless!

“Sorry! Sorry! I mistook you for one of my old acquaintance.” Sameer was just about to come to his senses when Ishita realized it was late and they had to depart for the class. Done and dusted!The case was shut for a while when Sameer realized that it was his best opportunity to escape. Never did this tortoise run so fast in his life than he did at this moment. He missed all his classes for that day.

LOL was the moment when Rahul entered the room and he saw Sameer weeping under the pillow.

##All this while a mystery must have been building up to what the college was all about-- Love,Friends and Shit.!

This is what forms the part of the story of Sameer. The college was running in full fledge. Ones who could match the pace with it were supposed to emerge as winners at the end of first sem and others who were indulged in everything except academics could emerge as failures.[Exceptions did exist]. Sameer was busy in his ownself-He was oblivious about his attendance percentages and assignment marks. Out of all the time he used to get in a day the bare minimum was his assignments which he could copy well-in time from others who did study! So just to make it clear this is not SOTY or MOHABAATEIN and the effects of everything which happened in Sameer’s life would be reflected in all other spheres of life.

30^th August 2016:

It was early morning. Rahul was getting ready for his breakfast. Sameer was still asleep. Rahul tried to wake him up several times. For one final last time when he hit him hard on his head-Sameer popped out of his bed.”Dude You are not going to college? You missed the previous day’s lecture as well.”

#When Rahul had come in the room the previous night he saw Sameer crying. He went out for some work. To conclude --he was unaware of the incident which happened the previous day.

Everything came out straight from the heart when Sameer  narrated the incident which happened with him the previous day. With what he ended sounded even more compelling

“Brother! I cannot face her now. I do not fear that boy who would beat me down-What troubles me is her views. I am guilty of what I did. Neither can I express, nor can I keep it inside. Either way it hurts me. I couldn’t control. I don’t know why I did that. What was wrong with me?”

Rahul bursted out into laughter when he listened the fateful account of his friend’s love story. “ Bhai. Sun Just look into this mirror. TBH you are not SRK. Just you see in the eyes of a girl and she is flatterd. Don’t be chape dude. Be steady. Slow and steady wins the race! And to your problem I have a solution. It’s daring and requires courage but bet me this is the best time to try this out. Find a time when she’s alone. Say sorry and try to get a bit more involved. You might receive a complete ignorance from the other side of the line but in all probability since your feelings are true as far as I have realized. You will not be left to your own fate. He will help you!”

#Monologue sounds good at certain points of time and when such sort of conversation builds up between two friends it is a common sight.

#Everyone else in the hostel was unaware of all this. Sameer had withdrawn himself from everyone else. It was only in the words of Rahul that his broken heart found solace.

{Over the time something was shaping up in this otherwise silly-stupid lad. He was not the Sameer who had entered the college. Things were beginning to change. Arijit Singh’s songs were a common in his playlist nowadays. He had become courageous! It was his world which had changed due to someone else even when she was not a part of it}

31^st August 2016:

2:40 p:m:

Hot gusty winds blew with full pace. The scorching heat left no other option but to delay the idea of apology.Sameer knew her schedule and it was the time when her classes got over and if it could be possible to have a chat with her it was the best possible time.

If anytime luck favoured him it was this time. The playground was on the opposite way of her hostel and the way from Sameer’s hostel to Ishita’s  hostel had it in his own way. She passed by the other side of the road. Sameer crossed it-jumped the divider-he was behind him-She couldn’t notice all that. He kept walking. Slow steps full of doubts.

#Imagine. What it feels like talking to a stranger and if the back history had been such ridiculous then it was not done at all.

Sameer shouted {Yet again}-“Ishita. I’m Sorry.” She heard that. Voice was a notch higher than usual decibels.

She turned back “It’s OK!”-she whispered and kept walking ahead. It was only when Sameer gathered all that courage to speak it out-

“I did not mistook him for my old acquintance. I couldn’t bear the sight of you talking with him. This pumped my anger and it was only then did I realize how much I like you. I don’t know you in any way. Just that one moment and on special person who makes you go O-la-La! You are that for me! I won’t trouble you anymore. My own life has become a hell. I want to get out of this mess. This way or that way! I don’t watch romantic movies-These are my own words-I did not pen them down beforehand-This is what has come out now-Out around!”

All that while she was walking! When Sameer finished she turned back and it was when he finished that she stopped! 

#World had come to a pause. Everyone was statued.

She came back and gave him a tight hug. By the time he could realise the significance of this moment-Howling and Claps could  be heard distinctly.!
