Episode 01- Prologue
"I was on a path to nowhere. A walk for never ending time. I've never wanted anything but 'her' as my companion in this long lonely night like road of uncertainty. The darkness consumes me. Weakens my soul. Whole world seems void without 'her'."
"Then my wish came true as 'she' came from behind and held my hand. 'She' walked the path with me. I knew it was 'her'. We walked holding hands. No fear at all. Because 'she' is with me. But then.."
"Wait!!! I thought this was about me!! " a voice stopped me from narrating a dream I saw last night. Then I realized I was in my classroom with my friend, Ben .
I used to believe that the dreams I see, came to life ( I was a foolish kid back then). Even Ben believed that( he was foolish too I guess).
"And this dream says that she'll be my girlfriend soon!" I said imagining with a big smile in my face.
"But she does not live in this town anymore." Ben's question was obvious despite our belief.
'How can she be my girlfriend if she doesn't even live here?' I asked myself while thinking about the time...
The Time...
The time before I knew her. The time before I really knew her.The time before everything.
This was the time when I was new to this school.
A girl was the crush of mine since the first day of my class. It is another thing that I knew her before this. Her family went to the same church where mine went.
In this 'everything new' place, I was happy to see a very familiar face as she entered the class room for the first time. She was the short haired studious girl whom I never noticed at the church. But here I can look at her closely. I can see the innocence her face reflects. I can see her eyes and feel the attraction...
Why was I attracted to her?
Wait.
Was I attracted to her?
Yes, I was.
That was instant craziness.
That was something else that I felt.
She looked at me and smiled. I gave a silent 'hi'. She marched towards me.
"Hii Sam!!" She said and she practically killed me. A 1-hit KO.
"Hii Riya!!" I replied realizing that she knows my name.
"So, We are classmates now? This is cool." She said.
"Yeeaah!!" Great Young Sam. You know how you sounded? You pervert!
We conversed for a while till the teacher entered and ruined it.
I used to look at her during the morning prayers, during class and everywhere i can. But I was too busy doing stupid things like seeing dreams and hoping them to be true (but not all, only the good ones).
I longed to have her as my girlfriend but didn't express my feelings. She may not be my girlfriend but she was near me everyday. I was happy with that till the day she told me that she was transferring to another school, another city.
"In this way she'll never know how you feel." I said to myself.
But what would I've done? I was just a kid.
I would have said something to her.
No.
At last she went away. And I did nothing. I did nothing at all.
What would I have done? I was just a kid. A foolish kid. A dumb kid who believed in dreams.
"I saw a dream last night."
"Tell me is it about me?" Ben asked.
