It was the time when I was gearing up for the departmental sports meet,way back in 7th standard. Everyday practice made me tired , and I returned home with a tiring face. Finally the day arrived. Without bothering about the results of my race I celebrated the victory of my school.
In the same athletic meet i couldn’t help but notice the guy who was about six feet tall. Later, it happened to fall to my ears that he was the best athlete present there on the ground. Without bothering about his presence I moved on to celebrate the victory of my school.
Three years since then on, it was all the same as it could be. Then came one of the supposedly most important exam of my life. Co-incidentally he was in the same block that i was in. I found girls around me noticing him but, i never bothered. Those twenty days just passed.
One and half years later when I was jus about to complete my pre-university, a friend of mine gave my cell phone number to the same guy whom I had come across co-incidentally, many a times, ever since my higher primary school. It seemed funny, but I behaved as if everything was normal. He texted me and didn’t know who it was. After a chat of some hours he told me his details. Though I was excited enough, I never made him realise I was. I refused to talk to him when my conscience asked me to do so. Then after ten days came the festival of lights. He was off to a holy place called Tirupathi. While he was on the way to the place he proposed me for the first time. My heart skipped a beat. I was in a state of shock. Again, I behaved normal. Since then for two months, there wasn’t even a single day when he didn’t ask me out. The one line that he always repeated was ’that’s ok if you don’t like me. You can be frank and tell me if it is so ’.
I never thought the day to come would turn out to be the D-day. It was 31st December night. Both of us happened to land up at the same party spot to celebrate the welcoming of a new year. I knew he was leaving to Mangalore the very next day. I couldn’t believe I was not comfortable with the fact that he was going. I missed him in the real sense. That night when he proposed again, I couldn’t help it, but say yes.
Things went on well for really a good amount of time. Trouble showered four days after his first birthday, with me being in a relationship with him. I got to know something which wasn’t pleasing to my ears. Soon things got resolved and we were back together like before.
The two dates that I can never forget were 28th and 29th of march when, we for the first time kissed and hugged each other. Before things could get normal for a longer period petty fights began to emerge and the worse part of it was that we never celebrated birthdays and anniversaries together since destiny never allowed us to remain without quarrelling when those dates approached.
Slowly time passed by, and reasons of fight grew to be bigger and it seemed as if things could never get normal after all that had happened.
Today, when I look back it feels that my feelings still remain and, will always remain the same for him but, I have failed to realise what went wrong that its not the same with him. I fail to understand why he cannot have the same feelings that I do.
I believe the love story has been weird to here. But with all the thick and thin moments that I have been through, I still believe they were the best moments of my life.
(Tanu and Vishak – Not together anymore but are still together somewhere.) …….. love, Tanu…!
