Tarun

Nishant's kept shouting at me but my ear went on strike I couldn't hear a single word he said. My mind gets blank, all I have now is a strong emotion to see her again. Somewhere my mind also know that I am acting unreasonable but I don't want to listen my brain so I ignored both my brain and nishant's word and take out my bicycle from the cycle stand. I was about to go after her when I felt a hard punch on my back, it was Nishant who punched me. He grabbed my collar and asked me to come into reality. Its been already 15 min leaving her. I got shocked and checked my watch twice I couldn't believe it. Again I lost track of time because of her. I still wanted to go after her even when I know she is already gone and I know I won't be able to find her because I don't know which route she had taken, all I know she doesn't live inside the air force campus where I live. I felt disappointed because now I had no choice but to follow Nishant's word. We both ride back together for home, when we are about to go our separate route Nishant's said something to me, You should relax and take it slow otherwise you will definitely end up loosing it, like the sand, the more you try to hold it, more it slips through your hand. I stopped my cycle and asked him what does that exactly mean? Nishant replied saying , think before you act stupid. Have you seen her talking to any guy in our class, NO right? and the way she reacted at the cycle stand felt like she doesn't even know we are in same class. So now imagine how would she react if she had noticed you following her to her house. She would definitely looked at you as some pervert guy or stalker and you have to say goodbye to your love chance with her…hey I don't love her ok I said to him in a shy tone with little stammering. He give me back a death stare and I quietly nodded and agreed on everything he just said. So like a good boy I ride back to my home and went straight for my room. I get it what nishant want me to understand but I don't know why I just can't hold myself anymore . I want her, I need her …So after eating dinner I decided to write a letter for her. Sounds cheesy and stupid right, Trust me it is. I can't believe I am doing something like this, I am really bad in expressing myself but still I can't think of any way other way to talk to her. After atleast 50s try I managed to write one proper letter for her. Its not a big romantic letter but just a sweet note asking for a hand to start a friendship. Also I decided to buy a chocolate in the morning from the stationary shop near the school gate and decided to place that note along with the chocolate on her desk between the assembly time so that no one could caught me. I was too excited so I hardly manage to get any sleep that night. 

The next day in the morning I decided to go alone for the school. I didn't ask Nishant to come along. The reason for that was simple I don't wanna tell anyone including him also about this plan. I was too embarrassed to tell him. So I went for the school and just as I planned I bought the silk fruit and nut chocolate for her since I don't know anything about her I choose to give her my favourite one. Thankgod she is on time, now I would know where is she gonna sit today. I find it strange when I noticed she is again placing her bag at the last bench, why she is sitting alone again, seeing that made me feel bad and I wanted to ask her about that and many other things which I wanted to know about her. This small incident made my decision more stronger about giving that note to her. The assembly bell ring and everyone start moving out. I said to my group to go on I will be joining the assembly shortly after going washroom. Atlast everyone left, I quickly grabbed the note along with the chocolate to place it inside her desk drawer but I was caught by our sport teacher and he yelled at me for getting late for assembly prayer  but  somehow I manage to hide the note and chocolate from him and able to place it safely inside her desk drawer. Then I went out from the class with the sport teacher, he made sure that I join my class line without going anywhere else. All the time during the assembly I kept thinking about When Priya is gonna see that note? how she is gonna react?? All these puzzling thoughts keep revolving around my head. Finally the moment arrived, my hands were shaking and neck was sweating, I was so nervous at that point, my heart was beating so fast that it felt like it gonna blow out any moment…my breaths were heavy and my eyes were fixed on priya's seat while waiting for her to find my note. First period ended and she still didn't  check her drawer. Finally before starting the third period a short break of 10 min was given to us by teacher because he was continuously teaching us from last two periods. I don't know for what purpose but she finally put something inside her drawer and noticed my note and chocolate. She was holding my note and I saw her reading that but something went wrong, I don't know what but she immediately put it back inside. I don't know what happened to her. Did she not like my note? Was there something wrong with the lines I wrote for her …I was confused and sad to see her reaction. My last hope of getting to know her, to become her friend is now seems lost. I put my head on the desk and cover it with my hands so that no one notice my sad weird face.

stay tunned for the next chapter to know why priya reacted like that….
