Coming out of the lab he never thought of doing anything like this but as he see her in the college corridor a lot of things or ideas start revolving in his mind. He and his friend are walking and talking in the college corridor but he is not with him, he is still thinking how to approach her. In the mean time she disappear from his sight and then he realize that he again miss a chance…alas!!!!
Next time I just go and tell her, what I feel for her…. straight forward no thinking at all (he is still thinking and talking to himself). Approaching towards the gate of college premises he saw some of his classmates sitting in the garden (on the way to girls hostel so obviously a hot place for boys). He join his friends and they start gossiping but he not interested in this rubbish today, he still thinking what a big loser he is…..does he haven’t the courage to say her, how many times he rehearse those lines which seems to be very difficult to deliver when she comes in front of him, heart stop beating, words are choked in the throat why??? Every time ahead of her, nothing would happened while talking to rest of the universe, is it right that our feelings let us on wrong paths????
Busy in his thoughts and getting some words from his friends conversation to which he can’t want to hear, he see her again….alone!!! on the way to girls hostel….yes I have to do it (he think in his mind), just go ahead of her and vomit all lines….you get another chance.
“Hey, where are you going” one of his friend urges as he start walking towards her.
“huh, can’t you remember tomorrow will be electrical lab” he says(what a lame excuse…).
“Then” one of them asked with surprise.
“We have to submit lab file and none of you completed it till now” he tries to convince them.
“Absolutely” a proud reply come (male ego).
“Going to get file from her” he replies with confidence this time.
“ok, but you have to share it with us” they asked, “ok” a very quick reply from him as he doesn’t want to miss her this time and start running towards her.
“Hey, stop” he shout from a distance, she turn towards him and ask “yes”.
“I want to say something to you” trying to show that he haven’t fear with a fake confidence.
“Say” she asks again after a pause “what happened”.
Omg!!!! Where the fu**** words stuck he is trying to shout in his full volume.
In the mean time a msg pop in her mobile and she start checking it while boy start gathering words from his throat. After checking her mobile she again asked “what do you want to say”. He gathers all his courage and say “I love you” and everything seems to be blank just crippled.
She seems to be cool and relax or pretend to be and say “these things are not to do in college (then happened where…)………… blah blah????? ”, Is she not speaking or my ear goes on a holiday, I can’t get a single word, He thinks that someone tweaks him so that he again come back to the world.
“You want to say something else,” she asks again but it seems that his brain refuses to reply, only a head movement seems to be a negative response managed by him after that she walk away from there.
He is still trying to find what happened, his world just shattered in a sec, but his mind doesn’t trying to feel even a single feeling and watch her to go standing still there. ”oye, what happen..” his friends start asking again and again, he start moving towards them.
“Where is file, what happen ?” they ask.
“Huuh, nothing” he reply as trying to sort out things.
“File????? “ They urged.
“She hasn’t it with him right now” say in a shattered voice.
“ok yar, kal ki kal dekhenge, are you going to home?” one of them reply.
“Yes” he says and starts walking behind them.
He left alone on the bus stand waiting for his bus and still trying to sort out things…………..
“My first attempt on a short story”.
