My First Crush

"There was a time when I used to sit and stare blankly into the wilderness of my school's empty corridors when my teacher used to teach those boring English stories. And then suddenly while watching the corridors today, my eyes fell on, to this girl of our class who had recently transferred in from Delhi to Ahmedabad. the reason being unknown to the most of us, we always tried to start a conversation with her with that topic (she was hot). She not being a talker used to usually just throw away the topic and did not socialise with boys a lot . So, I was just sitting there mesmerised by her beauty..and ...her hair, her eyes, her curves, when suddenly something weird happened- I saw a tear in her eye....I was really moved. My mood changed suddenly on seeing it. It never happened before. I was attracted to girls and stuff but this was totally different. I was sad just because she was sad and THAT never happened before. But then I thought it would have been an illusion coz she was smiling the next moment. While I was thinking about it the bell rung and mates started running here and there. she noticed me staring at her. And then when I realised and turned my face away blushing, she let out a small laugh. Perhaps it happened to her a lot, well, she was beautiful.

The next day when I was in the library, I spotted her reading some books. I sat beside her and started studying. Perhaps she recognised me because as soon as she saw me she laughed a bit with a blush. Well, I blushed a little too and said hi. She replied with a sweet little hi. Then we just started studying.

The teacher was taking tests next day. Those were one of those surprise tests she took after completing a topic. So yeah they weren't surprising enough. We knew that bcoz we had given many of them in the past years and we prepared too. But she didn't...of course bcoz she was just transferred a month ago obviously she wouldn't know.(oh, and btw her name was Natasha. How do I know that?? Well duh, the roll call idiot!). So she was totally knocked off at the moment. And she failed terribly in it. The teacher felt pity and assigned a tutor for her. Well , unfortunately enough , the class topper was appointed. Well before I move on , I want to tell u that I was very good in teaching. Though only my classmates knew that. So when Natasha told her friends that the nerd wasn't behaving nicely with her and treating her like a liability, they recommended me to her. Yup, every dog has a day....XP....so I started to teach her and in between the sessions we usually took a break of like 5 mins in which we used to talk about each other's lives. So what I got to know of her is this : she was a 17-year-old girl, addicted to anime and liked normal girly stuff(dresses, barbie, and some stupid shit). Other than that she had an awesome figure for a 17 yr old girl. 30 26 30..(i was an expert at that). I can't help but mention an incident that intensified the friendship among us. We had one teacher who was strict as hell and wouldn't allow anyone in the class after he entered. So one day Natasha was off time by about 5 minutes and after arriving to, the class door, she stood there not sure whether the sir noticed her or not. But I saw her and kept seeing her....(that was my greatest mistake!)...somehow the teacher saw me staring at her and (to tease me perhaps ) allowed her in the classroom. While she was walking towards her bench, I kept staring at her unaware of the fact that all the eyes in that room except mine and hers was on me, watching me, watching (staring XP) her. So after she sat down, the teacher announced , "so that now she is safely back on her seat shall we start the class?" And the whole class started hooting. Boy, I was embarrassed!

Then one day she started talking about her past.

It was all girly type talk so to put it straight, her mom died about 3 years and her dad tried to have sex with her about 5 months ago (putting it bluntly, he tried to rape her). When her granny knew about that she sent her here to Natasha's granny's friend's house to stay and study. No doubt she cried that day, must be the memories of her mother. Well, she had moved in just 5 months ago and has been studying with me for about 2 months now.

I also got to know that she is a really nice person at heart and always used to help me in times of need ( i hated some subjects and she would help.).well , she was really the type of girl anybody wanted.

Well , even now 20 years after those days when I remember her I still get really turned on. You would ask where she is now, right?......well let me get this straight. She is gone !..........she was killed in a car accident just after the exam results ......yup, my love was turned into ashes and I saw that when I reached her home with the report card and my heart ,and she was just lying there...motionless....still, as a rock would be....she would speak nothing. Not a single word....not even a tiny laugh that she would normally do to tease me...I was heartbroken. .....I cried a lot that day and thought about ending my life but then I remembered the happy faces of my mom and dad and realised that they would be injustice to them if I would just suicide like this.....then putting a rock on my heart, I decided to put it behind me like it never happened and I returned to my home....it robbed me of my emotions until I met another girl who was just like natasha....as if she had taken a rebirth to live with me forever...i did not hesitate and married her as soon as I graduated and that, is your mom, son....the reason behind telling you this, is that no matter whom you love, never forget your parents dear. They are the ones who were, are and will always be with you until the end."Said Nikhil to his now 21-year-old son on his birthday who was going to propose a girl that day and just wanted to make sure he was ready for it ."always remember that if you deserve something, you are destined to get it no matter what. Just as I got my love, you will too, son, so don't be heartbroken if she rejects you. Just remember that perhaps your Natasha is out there somewhere waiting for you. Stay happy son!."

Sam replied " yes dad I know. Without you and mom I wouldn't have made it this far. ...I have and will always love you and mom ..... I love you, dad, I LOVE YOU!!."
