Forbidden Memories - Part 3

(Part – 3)

After that incident when ever they saw each other, always passed a smile. It continued for many days.

Kshitij was getting use to have her glimpse. But suddenly everything changes, Kshitij use to wait to just see her once but she didn’t came to college for 10 days. He started getting worried for her.

“Why is she not coming to college since 10 days? Is she alright?”
“But why I am thinking about her? We never talked after that day then why am I missing her”
“Oh God! What is this happening to me? Why I am thinking about her?” – and many other questions were pounding in his mind.

He could not sleep for all those nights (But this time he was not crying, for the first time his parents yelling was not torturing him)
The only thing he was thinking about was ‘Sahana’.

Every morning his only wish was to see her, but why did he want to see her was the question he was not able to answer?.

And at last the day arrived he was waiting for more than anything. He saw Sahana standing on the fee deposit window alone.

This was the first time he saw her closely, this was the first time he wanted to know why he missed her so much, this was the first time he wanted to know her.

5’3” in height, fair, wearing yellow colour salwaar kameez. Her eyes were speaking volumes. So innocent, so simple, and so complete. Storm was playing with her hairs, and she trying to remove it from her face but still some hairs were still touching her lips.

Kshitij was trying more to find out why he was missing her than to appreciate her beauty. And in that effort each time he found her more beautiful then earlier.

With so many thoughts pounding in his mind before he could realize where he is heading toward, he was in front of Sahana and words came out of his mouth,

“Where were you since last 10 days? Is everything Ok? You should have informed somebody in college”, he said all in a single breath.

“What?”, this was all Sahana could say after hearing this.

“Oh! Nothing, I was just wondering where were you these days”, Kshitij realized may be he over reacted.

“Achcha, so somebody was missing me”, Sahana replied with an intention of teasing him.

“No, No nothing like that just didn't saw you in college since so many days so just wanted to know if everything is ok on your side”, Kshitij tried to explain.

“Hahahahahahahahaha”, She laughed.

“Yaa Yaa, I know what you meant”, Again she said naughtily.

Listening to her answer all Kshitij could do was pass away the smile but anybody could have noticed that actually he was blushing and definitely Sahana noticed it, for sure.

“Hey, that day I was to ask you name but you left before I could say anything? So, are you going to tell your name today or should I stop coming to college for another 10 days then may be you tell me, hahahahahahahaah”, Sahana said.

“No, No you don’t have to do that, My name is Kshitij”, he quickly replied as if he didn’t wanted it to be true what Sahana said.

“Achcha Kshitij, chalo see you later, leaving now getting late for class”, Sahana said.

And she left before Kshitij could say anything and in that conversation he forgot to ask why she didn’t came to college these days. (Answer to that question might have saved Kshitij from entering a black hole*, but may be fate didn’t wanted him to know it so early)

*Black Hole - A region of space resulting from an extremely high gravitational field which absorbs what ever comes near to it and it itself black in colour. It is also described as a hole full of negativity which absorb all positive energy near by and convert it into negative energy

And after that incident everything changed in Kshitij’s life, he was no more a same Kshitij who use to feel dejected and alone. But now for the first time he started believing in dreams, for the first time he was happy for no reason (No reason because he was not able to understand what is happening to him)

But he was unaware of what this all will lead to, how this short span happiness will bring in endless span of wretchedness.
