FOUR

That night I remember as of now was one of the sickening nights for me. She flashed again and again infront of me. I knew I wouldn’t see her again.
      I woke up early that morning and got ready for my Inorganic class, which ofcourse made us go crazy with all the conceptuality.
As I walked alone towards my classroom unimaginable happened. Natalie was coming across the hallway for her class. My heart and soul bursted out in joy. I felt happy. That’s the best way to describe it.
She was wearing a yellow salwar with a black sweater. Her lips looked so beautiful and glowing that could have made anyone go crazy. She looked heavenual. Her walk changed after she saw me. She walked inside her class ever so gracefully. And I just stood there and watch her get in and felt a warm breeze.
I was excited to see her. Ofcourse she wasn’t leaving and going anywhere.
That class finished after eternity. As the class got over I ran towards the hallway to get a glimpse of her.  
Alas! They had a continuum.  
One of my friend pulled me aside and enquired, “Hey, what happened?”
I said, “the girl”.
“Ha?”, he countered
      We went to the canteen and I told him about her.  
Next day as I entered my class everybody stared at me. I knew that dick had told everyone. But I just ignored them and occupied the window seat, so I could see her come and go.
So a routine had been setup. Everyday I would sit there in the same spot and watch her come and go. She too would glance at me ever so beautifully and walk away.
One day as she was going back from her class with her friends I stood there in the window and watch her go by. A friend of mine came to me and so politely said to me, “Ur looking at her?”
I said, “Yes”
Then he groaned out loud and called everyone.
      As we all guys stood there in the window watching her go away. One of the punkiest guy exclaimed “Palat Palat!”
Then everybody joined them at unison. As we eagerly waited, she did turned back to see me. Seeing us all stand there in the most hopeless of manners, she blushed and at an instant turned away.
Looking at this everybody exclaimed, “YES”. Some punching the air, some boxing me and some banging the tables.
As we were creating such a drama, our Organic Sir was looking at this dramatic event unfold standing aside the whole time. We even didn’t notice him entering the class.
Everybody would know what happened after that……… blah blah blah blah. U idiots…. Blah blah…….
But none of his blahhiness bothered me. I was sitting there with a smile.
 
I would pull one of my friend just to stay outside the girl’s hostel in hope of getting a glimpse of her for hours.One day the other, next day another. Friends company changed and gone but I was still there. I didn’t know I was doing it because of love or not. But it made me happy. I felt good seeing her.
She too would come out on the balcony and stand there in the most undesired desired manner and stand there all along. She would bring a book with her pretending as if she was there studying. But all along we looked at each other and just swayed. Just to see her smile when our eyes met one another's. I would have gave anything in return for it. Bunk lectures, miss hangouts..........
 
Yes it was love.
 
Kinof’ love which happens only once in a lifetime. People may fall in or out of love. People may believe in love or not believe in love. But no matter what there’s always that one love that’s stuck in our heart, mind and soul. Be it your first or last of many. There’s one crazy love we were part of in our life which we could never forget. The kind for which you were or may be still is willing to give up on anything for it. It was this. The sheer naiveness about it was amazing.
 
It is really pity, but these went on for another sem, and another and another until I was in my final year…………
