BROKEN PROMISES

“NO… OOO….. THIS AIN’T FAIR. YOU CAN’T CANCEL OUR TRIP LIKE THAT. I HAVE PROMISED ALL MY FRIRNDS THAT I WILL BRING GIFTS FOR ALL OF THEM. YOU CAN’T DO THAT TO ME. I WILL HAVE TO FACE SO MUCH EMBARRASEMENT”. “CALM DOWN SWEETY IT AIN’T THE LAST TIME WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE AND PROMISES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN. IT’S NOT A MATTER TO BE MADE FUSS OF.”

THIS IS THE STARTING OF THE EXTRAORDINARRY STORY OF A GIRL NAMED STACY. SHE IS 5’10 A PRETTY GOOD HEIGHT FOR A GIRL WITH 24 INCHES WAIST WHICH EVERY GIRL DREAMS FOR. HER BLONDE HAIR AND BLUE EYES MERGES WITH HER FAIR COMPLEXION TO MAKE A HYPNOTICAL COMBINATION. IN SIMPLE WORDS SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRLS IN THE WHOLE SCHOOL.NOT ONLY STACY BUT HER STORY IS INTERESTING AS WELL AND I WOULD THEREFORE LET HER CONTINUE THE STORY TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF REALITY.

HEY! I AM STACY. I KNOW THE AUTHOR HAS ALREADY INTRODUCED ME BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE VERY AWKWARD TO TELL A STORY WITHOUT INTRODUCTION. THE AUTHOR HAD ALSO EULOGISED ME BUT LET ME TELL YOU THERE ARE MANY OTHER GIRLS PRETTIER THAN ME GUYS LIKE TO BE AROUND.

OKAY LET’S START WITH THE WORK THE AUTHOR HAS GIVEM ME I MEAN LET’S START WITH THE STORY. WAYBACK I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS LITTLE MY MOM ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP ONE’S PROMISES BUT I GUESS ELDERS ARE A BIT LAZY IN DOING WHAT THEY TELL US TO DO( MY OPINION). SO EVERY TIME SHE PROMISED ME SOMETHING I ENDED UP LIKE “YOU CAN’T DO THAT TO ME!!!!” ONE INCIDENT I REMEMBER IS WHEN I WAS SIX. IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE AND MY MOTHER HAD PROMISED ME THAT SHE WILL GIFT ME THE ‘CINDRELLA PRINCESS’ DRESS AND ALL I GOT WAS A BARBIE DOLL. ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT A VERY BIG PROMISE BUT CERTAINLY AT THAT AGE IT MEANT A LOT TO ME. THEN THE NEXT PROMISE THAT LEFT ME TOO MUCH HURTED AT THE AGE OF NINE WAS THE PROMISE TO TAKE ME ON A TRIP TO HAWAI (REMEMBER THE FIRST PARAGRAPH, IT WAS ABOUT THIS TRIP).AND AS I GREW OLDER I CAM ACROSS MANY BROKEN PROMISES.THEY ARE TOO MUCH TO BE DESCRIBED HERE.SO I WILL LEAVE THEM FOR A WHILE.

I WILL START WITH THE MOST INTERESTING INCIDENT AND THAT IS WHEN I ENTERED INTO SENIOR STANDARD. YEAH! HIGH-SCHOOL. I WAS TO BE CALLED A SENIOR NOW AND ME AND MY BEST FRIEND GWEN CAN RUN AROUND TEASING JUNIORS. I ALWAYS BELIEVED I HAD THE BEST FRIEND CIRCLE ONE COULD HAVE.WE WERE FOUR BEST FRIENDS ME, GWEN, GEORGE AND ERIC .WE FOUR TOGETHER WERE LITERALLY WORSE THAN A HURRICANE. I AND ERIC WERE ATLEAST DECENT TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IF TEACHERS CAME AROUND WE COULD PRETEND TO SIT LIKE DUMBOS AND GIVE THEM A ‘WE ARE INNOCENT’ LOOK .ON THE OTHER SIDE GEORGE AND GWEN ONCE STARTED THEY WERE UNSTOPABLE. TEACHERS AND OTHER STUDENTS USED TO CALL GWEN FEMALE VERSION OF GEORGE AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS PRETTY TRUE (THEY EVEN HAD THEIR NAME’S INITIALL LETTERS SAME). FROM MY SUBCONSCIOUS I REMEMBER A VERY FUNNY INCIDENT.

IT WAS THE FAREWELL FUNCTION OF Mrs. BRIGENZA. THE STRICTEST TEACHER OF OUR SCHOOL (MORE STRICT THAN HITLER, AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT WE USED TO THINK). SHE USED TO THINK OF SUCH PUNISHMENTS THAT EVEN EVIL WOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF AND WE FOUR WERE IN THE TOP WANTED LIST OF HER’S. SO NOW WHEN SHE WAS FINALLY LEAVING AFTER THIRTY YEARS OF TOURTURING HER STUDENTS MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY WE ALL WERE VERY HAPPY.EVERYONE HAD PREPARED PROGRAMMES FOR HER NOT BECAUSE SHE WAS LEAVING AND ALL BUT BECAUSE IT WAS THERE INDEPENDENCE DAY AND WE FOUR DECIDED TO CELEBRATE BY GIVING A THANKS SPEECH AND SINGING .AFTERALL SINGING WAS THE ONLY THING WE WERE GOOD AT AND FAMOUS FOR. WE HAD NAMED OUR BAND STORM.

SOME ‘KITTIES’(THAT’S THE NAME WE GIVE TO GIRLS WE DON’T LIKE)ALSO THOUGHT TO GIVE HER A SPECIAL MAKE UP FOR THE OCCACION AND SO WE WERE IN ,NOT BECAUSE WE REALLY WANT TO GIVE HER A SPECIAL MAKE UP OR SOMETHING BUT BECAUSE GWEN HAD SOMETHING IN HER MIND. SO ON THE FAREWELL DAY I AND GWEN ALONG WITH THE KITTIES WENT TO HER PLACE TO GIVE HER THE SPECIAL TREATMENT. I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SAY THIS BUT ‘THE KITTIES’ REALLY TRANSFORMED THAT GUERILLA LOOKING MRs BRIGENZA INTO SOMETHING MUCH LIKE A HUMAN.AFTER FINISHING THEIR WORK IT WAS THEIR TURN TO DRESS UP LIKE ‘PRINCESSES’ SO THEY LEFT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND SINCE WE WERE ALSO OBLIZED TO BRING HER TO THE STAGE WE STAYED .NOW THE SO-CALLED ‘MASTER PLAN’ GWEN HAD IN HER MIND WAS TO DO A ‘LITTLE MAKEOVER’. GWEN TOLD ME TO BRING MY MOM’S CAR UNTIL SHE FINISHES HER ‘WORK’. I DID AS I WAS TOLD AND WHEN I FINALLY REACHED MRs BRIGENZA’S HOUSE I SAW GWEN STANDING WITH SOMEONE LOOKING LIKE THE FEMALE VERSION OF HULK.WITH A MORE DEEP LOOK I FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS MRs BRIGENZA .IT WAS THEN WHEN I REALISED ‘THE LITTLE MAKEOVER’.SHE WAS LOOKING LIKE A BIG FAT GREEN BALL COVERED IN RED GOWN. SHE LOOKED ‘MIND BLOWING’ .IT ACTUALLY WAS MIND BLOWING.I COULDN’T HELP AND LET OUT A LITTLE LAUGH WHICH SHE SENSED IMMEDIATELY BUT GWEN CONTROLLED THE SITUATION.

AFTER DRIVING FOR HALF AN HOUR WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION. GWEN CALLED GEORGE AND ERIC AND ALTHOUGH THEY DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING I KNEW WHAT EXACTLY THEY WERE THINKING ‘IT’S GONNA BE A GREAT DAY’! WE TOOK HER TO THE STAGE AND SHE SAT ON HER VIP CHAIR.IT WAS 2:00 AND PEOPLE HAD STARTED COMING AND WHOSOEVER SAW HER COULDN’T CONTROL THEIR LAUGHTER BUT EVERYONE REMAINED SILENT SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO FACE HER FURY .TEACHERS AND THE KITTIES CAME LATE SO THEY SAT AT THE LAST AND COULDN’T MEET HER, HELPING US WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING. ONE BY ONE STUDENTS GAVE THEIR PERFORMANCES FROM DUMB EMOTIONAL PLAYS TO BELLY DANCE.

AT LAST IT WAS STORM’S TURN TO BRING SOME STORM ON THE STAGE AND WE LITERALLY BROUGHT IT. EVERYONE FROM STUDENTS TO TEACHERS WERE DANCING ON OUR SONGS EXCEPT MRs BRIGENZA BUT THE CLIMAX STILL WASN’T OUT UNTIL OUR NEXT SONG WHEN GEORGE CALLED HER ON STAGE ANB BEGAN SINGING

HERE IAM STANDING

ALMOST DANCING

WITH LADY HULK HOLDING MY HAND

CRUSHING THE INNOCENT LAND.

LOOKING LIKE A GREEN BULL IN RED DRESS

AND OH LOOK AT HER UGLY TRESS

WHAT A MESS

SHE’S GIVING ME HELL LOT OF STRESS.

I COULD SEE STUDENT’S FACES THEY HAD AN EXPRESSION, ‘WHAT A ROCKING FAREWELL’ AND FOR THE TEACHERS AND KITTIES IT WAS LIKE ‘WHAT THE HELL DID JUST HAPPEN.’ IN A SECOND I WAS GAZING AT EVERYONE AND THE OTHER SECOND WE FOUR WERE THROWN OUT OF THE FUNCTION AND ALL I HEARD IN BETWEEN WAS Mrs. BRIGENZA SHOUT YOU ALL ARE DETAINED. THIS IS SOMETHING I WON’T EVER FORGET.

TWO YEARS LATER WE WERE IN UNIVERSITY AND ALMOST EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY THE SAME EXCEPT THAT OUR FRIENDSHIP GREW STRONGER AND MORE STRONGER AND GEORGE AND GWEN HAD COME EVEN CLOSER.NOW THEY ARE MORE THAN A FRIEND (I ALWAYS KNEW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN). THEY ACTUALLY LOOK AWESOME TOGETHER.WELL UNIVERSITY IS KIND OF FUN IF YOU HAVE LOVING FRIENDS AND BACKBENCHES SO THAT YOU CAN SLEEP DURING THE LECTURES.

EVERY DAY WAS ‘VERY NORMAL’, THE BORING LECTURES, FUN AT CAFETERIA AND LATE NIGHT PARTIES UNTIL THAT DAY…

IT WAS ANOTHER NORMAL MORNING, I AND GWEN WERE WAITING FOR GEORGE AND ERIC.PEOPLE SAY GIRLS THAT TAKE TOO MUCH TIME DRESSING UP AND IT IS PRETTY TRUE BUT AS SAID EXEPTIONS ARE ALWAYS THERE, IN THIS CASE IT WAS THOSE TWO GUYS THAT UTILISED MOST OF THEIR TIME DRESSING UP, REALLY VERY ABNORMAL. IT WAS GETTING LATE AND THOSE TWO HAVEN’T SHOWN THEIR FACES ON TIME WHICH MADE GWEN AND ME VEXATIOUS.

AS LONG AS MY POISE PERMITTED I WAITED BUT WHEN IT CROSSED MY BREAKING LIMIT I STARTED WALKING TO THE HALL ENSURING THAT GWEN GIVES THEM A GOOD SCOLDING FROM MY SIDE. I WAS WALKING ALONE WHEN SUDDENLY I BUMPED INTO THIS BOY, TALL, FAIR, BROWN LITTLE CURLED HAIR, GREEN EYES, LIPS AS RED AS THE LAST ROSE OF SPRING,HE WAS NO LESS THAN AN ANGEL.I SAW HIM ONCE AND I KNOW THIS IMAGE WOULD NEVER WASH OFF MY MEMORY.HE LOOKED UP AND WALKED AWAY MURMURING SOMETHING THAT SOUNDED LIKE ‘MORON’.

I WAS THINKING WHAT JUST HAPPENED A FEW MOMENTS AGO WHEN I HEARD GWEN SHOUT THAT THE BOYS HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED.ALL DAY LONG I KEPT THINKING OF THAT MOMENT, THOSE FEW SECONDS WHEN I MET CUPID. IT WAS DAWN AND WE FOUR HAVE DECIDED TO HAVE A PARTY, IT WAS OUR FIFTH FRIENSHIP ANNIVERSARY. I AND GWEN DRESSED UP IN OUR BEST CLOTHES AND STARTED TO WALK TOWARDS THE PRE-DECIDED VENUE. I WASN’T STILL OVER THE MAGICAL MOMENTS, SO WALKING BLINDLY I SUDDENLY BUMPED INTO SOMEONE AND BEFORE I COULD GATHER MY SENSES I REALISED IT WAS HIM, MY ANGEL.

BEFORE I COULD SAY SOMETHING HE SHOUTED HARD SAYING THINGS THAT PIERCED MY HEART DEEPLY. IT WOULD HAVE HURTED LESS IF I WAS CUT INTO HALF BY A SWORD. FEW MINUTES AGO I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER FORGET HIS FACE AND AFTER THIS INCIDENT I MADE SURE I WOULD NEVER FORGET HIS FACE.A STRANGER WHOM I DIDN’T KNOW WAS AN ANGEL TO ME A WHILE AGO,NOW DEVIL. ALTHOUGH HE WAS OUT OF MY VISION RANGE AND PROBABLY MY VOICE WAS OUT OF HIS HEARING RANGE, I SHOUTED ON TOP OF MY VOICE, “YEAH! RUN AWAY DUMBO, RUN AWAY, THAT’S THE BEST YOU CAN DO TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM MY FURY.” GWEN DRAGGED ME AND SAID, “MUST BE SOMEONE INSANE, LET’S NOT SPOIL THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY.”

I DIDN’T ENJOY MUCH AT THE PARTY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A GROSS PERSON IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. GWEN, GEORGE AND ERIC DID A LOT SO THAT I COULD FORGET ALL THAT BUT REALISING THEIR EFFORTS WON’T WORK, THEY LEFT ME ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS.

THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WAS WALKING DOWN THE HALL I SAW HIM AGAIN, WRAPPED IN BLACK T-SHIRT AND ROYAL BLUE SKINNY JEANS. HE LOOKED PERFECT BUT NOW HE ACCQUIRED NO PLACE IN MY HEART WHEREAS HE DOES IN MY ‘BLACK ENEMY LIST’. I WAS BUSY WITH MY OWN THOUGHTS WHEN I HEARD HIM SHOUT OVER ‘THE KITTIES’ (THIS KIND OF GIRLS ARE EVERYWHERE EVEN IN THE UNIVERSITY) WHO WERE TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH HIM. I WAS SO CONFUSED WHETHER TO LAUGH AT THE FOOLISH KITTIES OR BE ANGRY AT THIS EGOISTIC SCREW OF MESS. AND THEN ONCE AGAIN HIS GREEN SEA LIKE EYES MET MINE BUT AS SOON AS OUR EYES MET, I TURNED THEM AROUND GIVING A ‘WHATEVER’ LOOK.

SLOWLY-SLOWLY I CAME TO KNOW THAT HE HATED EVERY GIRL NEAR HIM, HE WAS A REAL MISOGYNIST. I USED TO THINK THAT DOES HE BEHAVE THE SAME WITH HIS MOTHER? THESE THOUGHTS FILLED MORE AND MORE HATERED INSIDE ME FOR HIM. I HATED EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM EXCEPT HIS NAME BECAUSE I DON’T EVEN KNOW IT AND SO I NAMED HIM MR. ATTITUDE.

DAYS WENT ON, EVERY DAY I WOULD SEE HIM AND HATE HIM EVEN MORE.AT THE END OF EACH YEAR THERE WOULD BE A FEST AND PARENTS WOULD COME TO MEET THEIR WARD.I NEVER REALISED THAT THIS FEST WAS GOING TO BE VERY ‘SPECIAL’.AS USUAL THIS YEAR TOO MY PARENTS COULDN’T COME DUE TO THEIR SO-CALLED BUSY SCHEDULE AND I TOO NEVER EXPECTED TO WELCOME THEM.EVERYONE ELSE MET THEIR PARENTS WHILE I SAT ALONE AT THE CAFETARIA WHEN I SAW MR.ATTITUDE WITH A LADY THAT SURELY HAS TO BE HIS MOTHER. THE FEST ENDED BY 5 IN THE EVENING AND I HAVEN’T SEEN MR.ATTITUDE AND HIS MOTHER LATELY. I FINALLY FOUND HIM WAVING HER GOODBYE, TURNING AWAY HE THEN WALKED AWAY. I KNEW THAT THIS WAS MY ONLY CHANCE TO MEET HER SO I RAN UP TO HER SO THAT I CAN TELL WHAT ACTUALLY HIS SON DID.

SHE WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL LADY, LOOKING ABSOLUTELY HALF HER AGE WITHOUT A SINGLE MARK OF WRINKLE ON HER CHARMING FACE.HER DRESS AND ATTITUDE SHOWED THAT SHE BELONGED TO A FINANCIALLY AND SOCIALLY STRONG FAMILY.I APPROACHED HER AND SHE WELCOMED ME IN A VERY GENTLE WAY. WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT MR. ATTITUDE AND IT DIDN’T TOOK HER LONG TO REALISE THAT I WASN’T THERE TO TALK ABOUT THE GREENERY IN THE GARDEN OR THE FABULOUS WEATHER SO SHE ASKED ME DIRECTLY, “IS IT SOMETHING THAT U WANT TO ASK,IS IT ABOUT HARRY?”IT WAS THEN THAT I CAME TO KNOW THAT MR. ATTITUDE WAS ACTUALLY NAMED HARRY, HARRY STYLES.I HESITATED FOR A MOMENT BUT THEN OVERCOMING MY HESITATIONI I ASKED, “WAS HARRY ALWAYS LIKE THIS, I MEAN DOES HE ALWAYS HATED GIRLS?”

IT LOOKED AS IF SHE WAS ALREADY EXPECTING THIS QUESTION AND SO AFTER TAKING A DEEP BREATH SHE CROSS-QUESTIONED ME, “HAVE YOU EVER LOVED SOMEONE MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOURSELF?” I WAS STARTLED BY THE WEIRD QUESTION YET I ANSWERED, “NO, I STILL HAVEN’T.” “MEET ME TOMORROW AT THIS ADDRESS,”SHE SAID AND LEFT LEAVING ME PUZZLED. I LOOKED AT THE ADDRESS AND THEN KEPT IT IN MY POCKET.I HEARD ERIC SHOUTING MY NAME SO I WALKED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE VOICE. I ALMOST FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT MY MEETING WITH HARRY’S MOTHER TILL THE END OF THE NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WAS SEARCHING FOR MY CELL-PHONE I FOUND THAT LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER WITH AN ADDRESS WRITTEN ON IT.THE MEMORY OF THE STRANGE MEETING BEGIN TO FILL MY MIND. I HIRED A CAB AND REACHED THE GIVEN ADDRESS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I SAW, HIS MOTHER WAS ALREADY WAITING FOR ME.WE WALKED TO HER GARDEN, IT WAS SUCH A PLACE THAT ONE WOULD WANT TO STAY THERE WHEN HE WANT’S TO BE ALONE JUST LISTENING TO THE BIRDS SWEET MELODY AND SEEING RAINBOW COLOURED BUTTERFLIES DANCE. WE STARTED THE CONVERSATION WITH NORMAL THINGS LIKE GOOD WEATHER, SO AND SO HAPPNING IN THE TOWN AND MANY OTHER ‘WASTE OF TIME’ THINGS. THEN SUDDENLY WITH A DEEP AND SERIOUS VOICE SHE ASKED ME, “SO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY HARRY IS LIKE THAT, HUH?” IN A MEAK VOICE I TOLD HER, “YES”.

“REMEMBER I ASKED YOU A QUESTION, HAVE YOU EVER LOVED SOMEBODY MORE THAN YOURSELF? AND YOU ANSWERED NO.BUT MY SON DID,”SHE SAID CHOKING AND TEARS APPEARED IN HER EYES. FURTHER CONTINUING SHE SAID, “IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN EVERYTHING WAS FINE, HARRY WAS THE BEST STUDENT IN HIS SCHOOL, HE WAS THE MOST POPULAR TEENAGER IN HIGH-SCHOOL.EVERYTHING WAS SO PERFECT UNTIL…THAT BLACK DAY…HARRY’S DAD WENT MISSING, WE SEARCHED HIM A LOT HIM BUT COULDN’T FIND HIM AND SINCE THAT DAY HARRY LOST HIS IDENTITY, HE LOST HIS CHARM, EVERYTHING WENT WRONG…”, SAYING THIS SHE BURSTED INTO TEARS.I TRIED HARD TO CONSOLE HER BUT IT SEEMED AS IF SHE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TIME WHEN SHE COULD CRY IN SOMEONE’S SHOULDER AND UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS ME BECAUSE I WAS TOO BAD AT CONSOLING.

“HA…HARRY FOUND ANGELA AS HIS SUPPORT AFTER THIS TRAGEDY.HE PUT ALL HIS HEART AND SOLE IN MAKING THEIR FRIENDSHIP STRONG AND FINALLY HE FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS ANGELA THAT COULD BE HIS LIFE TIME SUPPORT AND FILL THE GAPE IN HIS LIFE.HE TOLD ME ABOUT ANGELA, SHE WAS HIS LIFE. HIS DAY STARTED WITH THE THOUGHTS OF ANGELA AND ENDED WITH THE DREAMS OF HER.HE WAS COMPLETELY LOST IN HER, HE ALWAYS SAID GOD FORBID IF HE EVER HAD TO PART FROM HER HE WOULD DIE.AND THEN IT HAPPENED WHAT I FEARED SHE RAN AWAY,I DON’T KNOW WHY.IT STILL IS A MYSTERY TO ME WHY SHE RAN AWAY?” SHE DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH GUTS TO SPEAK ANYMORE SO I LEFT HER ALONE AND WALKED TOWARDS TO MY DESTINY.

HARRY’S MOTHER LEFT ME WITH PITY FOR THINKING SUCH CRAP ABOUT HARRY.I CERTAINLY REALISED IT NOW WHY HE BEHAVED SO WITH GIRLS ALTHOUGH I COULDN’T FEEL WHAT HE FELT EVERY MOMENT HE REMEMBERS ABOUT ANGELA.THIS CONVERSATION REPLACED THE HATRED IN MY HEART WITH SYMPATHY.ALL DAY LONG I KEPT THINKING ABOUT HIM AND I FINALLY I MADE MY MIND TO SPEAK TO HIM DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE WOULDN’T TALK VERY CALMLY TO ME.

I FOUND HIM SITTING ALONE IN THE GARDEN UNDER A TREE, HE LOOKED AS IF JUST A MOMENT AGO HIS WHOLE WORLD HAD COLLAPSED, HE LOOKED VERY UPSET. I SAT BESIDE HIM WITHOUT EVEN HIM REALISING.HE SAW ME AFTER FEW SECONDS AND AS SOON AS HE SAW ME HE STOOD UP AND WAS ABOUT TO MOVE AWAY WHEN I CAUGHT HOLD OF HIS HAND.HE LOOKED AT ME AS IF I WAS SOME ALIEN AND SHOOK MY HAND HARD.I STOOD UP AS WELL AND FEARING THAT I WON’T GO AWAY HE SHRUGGED. I DRAGGED HIM TO THE CAFETERIA, AMAZINGLY HE DIDN’T SHOUT AT ME.WE SAT AT THE LAST BENCH WHERE WE WERE ALMOST UNSEEN. HE STILL LOOKED SHOCKED PROBABLY HE WAS THINKING, “I AM INSANE.”

I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO START THE CONVERSATION BUT PROBABLY THE BEST WAY WAS TO SAY, “HELLOW! HARRY”. “HOW DO KNOW MY NAME”? I HEARD HIS DEEP AND SWEET VOICE FOR THE FIRST TIME CLEARLY FOR WHENEVER I HEARD IT HE WAS SHOUTING AT SOMEONE OR THE OTHER AND THAT WASN’T TOO NICE. “I…I SPOKE TO YOUR MOTHER, I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH TOUGH TIMES BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAVE YOUR PAST AND START ALL OVER AGAIN AND MAKE YOUR FUTURE BRIGHT.” I SAW A BOY STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF THE HORRIBLE SITUATION HE WAS PUT INTO BY SOME FOOLISH GIRL.THAT LOOK IN HIS EYES CREATED A SPACE FOR HIM IN MY HEART.HE STOOD UP,SAID NOTHING, GAVE A ‘NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS’ LOOK AND WALKED AWAY. NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED I COULDN’T GET HIM OUT OF MY HEAD.NEXT MORNING I MET HIM, HE LOOKED AWESOME AS EVER BUT HE IGNORED ME AS IF I WASN’T THERE OR I WAS INVISIBLE.I FELT THIS SUDDEN URGE TO HOLD HIS HAND AND SAY FORGET ABOUT THAT CRAP GIRL FOR YOU NEVER KNOW IF A BEAUTIFUL FUTURE IS WAITING FOR YOU.

MONTHS PASSED BY AND HE DIDN’T SHOWED UP HOWEVER HE WAS ALWAYS THERE IN MY THOUGHTS, I WANTED TO HELP HIM. ONCE WHILE SHOPPING IN A MART I SAW HIM AND PROBABLY HE DID TOO SO HE WENT OUT. I FOLLOWED HIM BUT HE VANISHED, THE WAY SUPERHEROES DISAPPEAR AFTER SAVING A GIRL. I WAS RUNNING TOO FAST TO SEE ANYTHING CLEARLY; SUDDENLY I FELT A SHAKE.I WAS DRAGGED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD BY HARRY. I WAS SO SHOCKED TO SPEAK ANYTHING. HE SHOUTED AT ME, “ARE YOU CRAZY? WHAT IS THAT YOU WANT FROM ME THAT YOU CAN EVEN SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO ACHIVE THAT?” HE HAD THIS LOOK IN HIS EYES THAT HE NEVER HAD BEFORE, IT LOOKED AN EXPRESSION OF CONCERN. HE THEN HELPED ME IN STANDING UP AND WE STARTED WALKING WITHOUT KNOWING WHERE WE WERE HEADING TO. WE REMAINED QUIET FOR A LONG TIME THEN BREAKING THE SILENCE HE ASKED, “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?” “I… I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND, I WANT TO HELP Y…YOU”, I SAID SHIVERING. “WHY?” HE ASKED.I DIDN’T HAVE THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION SO I SAID, “I DON’T KNOW”.WE LOOKED INTO EACH OTHERS EYES AND THEY SPOKE MORE THAN THE WORDS.ONCE AGAIN SILENCE FILLED THE GAP BETWEEN US.HE SUDDENLY TURNED AROUND SHAKING HIS HEAD AND RAN AWAY.

WHATEVER HAPPENED THAT DAY CHANGED THE WAY I USED TO THINK ABOUT HIM.I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS , A STRANGE FEELING..... THIS FEELING MADE ME SPEAK LESS AND WRITE MORE.... I WHO NEVER TURNED A RHYME EVEN WROTE A SONG FOR HIM (STRANGE! AIN'T IT.)IT'S LIKE...
