CHAPTER 5- Taking The Next Step.
"
31st DECEMBER
Three monstrous days have passed, since she asked me to go for a movie with her. I don't care about the movie though, all i want is to be with her. Since that night everyday seems more than a dreadful year. It was only the excitement of meeting her for the first time. I talk with her every night. She feels the most appropriate thing in my life now. If i could cut short time, i'd directly jump off to the date when i would meet her. Her brunette cascade flowing down through the back of her ears, eyes that could captive all the wildness in the world. Lips , when they moved gave out a melodious tone enough to intoxicate me, she makes me fall in love the more i talk to her. All my troubles go away when she smiles, and happiness showers upon my face. My Life is not boring now. I feel I can fly and touch the sky, only to be with her.
I could go on and on describing her till the stars would stop signing above, till there will be no place left in the world to write about her, then, i could write a little more. Its 10 and i haven't eaten my dinner but i don't feel hungry. All i wait is to be back to bed and wait for her tuition to get over and i could text her, staring at the clock as it gradually moves, mocking my desperation"
Rahil gently closed his diary in which he would describe his feelings for her every night and little more than three weeks now, the diary was almost half filled. He gently put a lid onto his beautifully crafted parker pen. He did exactly what he had described. Leaving aside his diary he started staring as the merciless hands of the clock moved as slowly as they could, exciting and tormenting him at the same time. Why don't they release the film tomorrow, everything else could wait, he thought. Betwixt this dilemma, rang his phone. He immediately looked at the screen which said " 1 NEW MESSAGE".
" Done with tuition, did you have dinner?" the message read.
" Nope, and you?" he replied immediately with a smile on his face that she always managed to put up with a single message.
"Idiot go and have your dinner." was the reply. He had to counter his words carefully now.
"No, I mean i had something late evening so I m not hungry yet.What about you?" he texted back.
"Nope not till now. You know today SG sir almost threw me out from the class as I was texting you, that moron" Rahil din't understand what was wrong in this, they would wait for this, everyday, all their college life, and would be happy to walk out from the class with dignity.
"Anyway leave it. You know i have a bad news." the text came back.
"What news?" he typed with all his strength with millions of possibilities that the above text could bring, running all over him.
"Actually that movie which we had decided, I guess it will be banned in India" The message almost brought his world down. Stupid Government, there are crores of problems this country is facing and needs to be mended and they thought banning this movie would make a difference , he thought. All the dreams he had thought caved in that very moment.
" What ? Seriously? You know what,The Government itself should be banned in this country" he replied , little irritated and speechless.
"Hahahaha, let it be, I will download it and watch " came the reply, but what about his excitement, the plans he had for the day, all went in vain.
"Hmmm, OK" he texted with much less energy this time.
Damn it, he couldn't believe his luck. The clock started moving in the slowest way possible, the room seemed more messy than before to him.
"Now go and have your dinner." she replied, wonder why she was so obsessed with dinner. Crushes can be irritating sometimes.
"OK" he replied.
"Hey whats your plan for tomorrow? I mean for new year?" wanting to create as much chances for him to be with her, he piled on the message. Never had Rahil given so much effort on someone before, he was used to getting it though.
"Nothing just another day for me, I guess" as the message popped up all his hopes were resurrected with a single message again. He had no intention of giving up.
"So can we go out, like for a lunch? A good way to start a good coming year" as he typed this he couldn't wait for the reply. She always managed to fasten his heartbeat.
"I don't have any problem with that, but i guess I have to schedule my math's tuition" Math tuition on the first day of the year, seriously how lame, he thought. If he had to list out the most painful things one would face in life, this would probably be somewhere at the top.
" So tell me, will you go?
"Ok we will go, we will be meeting for the first time, feels good, anyway i got to go for my dinner now. TTYL" the message came instantly.
"Ok"
The room turned beautiful again, nothing seemed messy now, the walls, the books, half pressed pillow, all looked bright and amazing again. He couldn't wait for the time to pass and the dawn to appear again.
*********
As always , his sleep broke right before the alarm rang on his phone. It was the first day of the year, a bright but cold one. A different year and a different day for him. Usually he would go back to his serene dream, but today reality itself was to become more important than his dreams. How could he go back to sleep when it was the perfect start on the calendar. A smile gently spread over his face and just to make sure all this was the reality passing, he browsed through the last night's texts. Yes it was true indeed. Adrenaline kicked in as he read her messages. He threw his blanket aside and jumped off the bed with much enthusiasm. A little more enthusiasm and he would bang his head right into that book self. He went to freshen up for the memorable day, even brushing teeth seemed fun. He could feel every breath he took in. The cold water had no effect on him today on shower, the songs he was singing sounded more chilled on instead.
After completing the chorus he came back to his room only to realize it was just 9 A.M. Four more prosaic hours. How could time be so harsh on him . He decided to watch the television, but switched it off in just a couple of minutes. He decided to play some games on his Sony handset, but this never failing idea too succumbed even before the mobile finished booting up. What on earth was he supposed to do. Finally he logged in Facebook and started stalking her profile, which had been his duty for days now. Every photos and selfies gave him immense joy and his heart skipped a beat with every next slideshow. Having gone through all her pictures he opened up the messages and started reading them. Time surely moves at different paces at different situations.
"It gallops for a prisoner on his way to execution
and halts for the bride who is to be married tomorrow,"
His phone rang and without wasting a second he attended the call.
"Hello," he said
"hey good morning"
"Good morning" he said if , but he wanted to scream with happiness right now.
"Actually listen, i needed to say something, I guess I won't be able to make it today" the voice from the other side sounded.
Crushes....crushes...crushes...they are indeed very beautiful.
