It was 16th feb , here in pune the temperature was normal unlike other parts of India where it is use to be low .
It was turning out be no different day same as other day’s.
Since it was Sunday so there was no work to be done and the only work we do on Sunday is to sleep and sleep.
but something nice was going to happen that day which was going to have a lasting effect on my life . Suddenly my cell phone alarm started ringing, I woke up after completing my afternoon nap and the clock showed 6:30 pm . I remain on my bed for few more minutes not able to decide what to do next then suddenly my dirty clothes catch my eyes.
I got up and took some of my dirty clothes and went to bathroom.
I was half naked and was wearing only shorts and nothing else. I played songs on my cell phone (as I m big addict of songs) put that on the water tank behind me and started to clean my clothes about 25 minutes passed and I was about to get over of my clothes suddenly the songs stopped playing and my phone started ringing. I cleaned my hands to take the call, an unknown number flashed on the screen.
I said “HELLO” .
a soft voice of girl came from other side…and no doubt she was laughing
she said “HELLO”
I asked “WHO IS THIS”
to which she in a naughty manner said “PEACHANA NAHI”.
I said “sorry but app kon ho “
to which she quickly said “GUESS KARO”.
then a fear gulped me ki kahi ye meri koi cousin sister na ho.
then I somehow asked her “whether u r from pune or lucknow ???? “
to which she said “I am ur school friend “.
Then I made some wild guesses after some guesses I realized something and took that name which I always wanted to be with.
and finally she stopped playing “guess karo “ with me , that moment was one of the best moment of my life as I had waited for it for 6 long years . I was so so soooo happiiieee at that moment that my eyes were filled with tears and without thinking I said to her “ MOOTI itna late kyu call kiya “
and then we talked for next 43 minutes as if we were knowing each other from birth.
we were classmates in class 10th but only I remembered it she didn’t remembered me. I was expecting this from her as we never talked when we were classmates even though we used to sit together. At that time I was quite introvert and shy kind of guy and she was in between introvert and extrovert or I say more of extrovert kind of girl. Who enjoyed her life to the fullest but only noticed this character of her when we were in 12th class. Probably this was the reason that she didn’t remember me as girls in school only remember the dude types, handsome and good looking guys and by far I was not like them. Instead I was having a small group of friends and talked to few girls in my class that too when I needed something from them .
at that time I didn’t know whether I like her or not .
actually we were in the same school, I joined that school in 3rd class and probably she was studying in there from 1st class but since our sections were different so we never talked to each other. When we were in 10th class the school administration decided to reshuffle the students and thankfully she along with her best friend renu came into my class. one more good thing happened since I was considered to be one of the sincerest student of my class my class teacher make her sit with me till that time I didn’t even knew her name also. Then we used to talk … but only when she needed some notes or thing from me, but I liked that . we sat together for few days then she got her seat changed ( I don’t know why ?? ) . though I didn’t say or do anything wrong to her .. may be she didn’t found me interesting or maybe she wanted to sit with renu…..
I still don’t know the reason.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Though she had changed her seat but still I used to worry about her. I tried to find out information about her but failed to get any except for her name and address but the address was of no use of mine because I never visited that address.
The days passed and very soon our board exams were on our heads so for few days I forgot her and got in a relationship with books.
After the board exams were over I drenched myself into computer games , cricket and discovering Lucknow. Soon these good days also passed and date of board result was nearing finally our result were out , I got (76%) which was less than what I expected to get therefore I was not happy with my result but it was satisfactory result because I got highest among my friends and as usual was topper of my colony , moreover my parents were happy with my result.
Now everyone was busy in deciding which stream to choose as it was one of our life changing decision so everyone was busy surveying about the streams & future career prospects etc etc. I decided to take PCMB but when saw biology book I didn’t find the subject of my liking so I changed my mind and took PCM with Computer science as optional subject. As the school reopened I got to know that she took HUMANITIES.
So there was no chance that I can talk to her. If I was extrovert type guy than I may had approached to her but that was not the case with me. I just wanted to be her friend nothing more . in the interval I used to watch her , she used to be always laughing and having ice-cream in her hand enjoying with her friends not knowing that someone is noticing her, the credulity on her face was that of a new born baby. Every night I used to plan to approach her but as soon as I use to reach school all the plans use to fade away from my mind . soon those two years also passed and everything was same as before , I never approached her and she never got to know if I existed in this universe or not .
After 12th class got over the chance of seeing her was also lost . I searched for her on facebook but failed to find her. Soon everyone was busy in deciding what to do next I was also busy in this but never forgot her.
