Like every reality show, the judge began
announcing the winner in descending order. As expected, our gang members won
the 3rd and 2nd prizes. Finally, the judge announced as
“The first prize goes to Naveen Lal from final year mechanical department”. I
was too happy once I heard the result.
Naveen
stood straight behind me. He murmured in my ears as “I am standing behind you
now. Soon, I’ll stand next to you”. Once I heard this from him, I felt
hypnotized and gave a smile towards him and nodded my head. Finally, the event
is over. We began winding up.
Now, Everyone had left the hall to catch the buses outside the campus because that was already late for everyone. We didn’t expect that the event would take this long to end. I had decided to inform my parents first that I'll come home late today. So that they wouldn’t keep thinking about me. Since my parents were too strict, they didn’t buy me a mobile at that time nor give me much pocket money.
Any
college students here could realize how I was feeling at that time. On that day,
I understood the need for a mobile and decided to argue with my parents to get
one for me. But first, I had to inform parents about the delay. I began looking
around to borrow a mobile from any recognized face.
In this situation, I saw Naveen was
about to leave the college to catch the bus. I called him loudly “Naveen Anna”.
He saw me and walked towards me. I explained my situation to him and borrowed his
mobile. He gave me his phone asking me if I don’t have a mobile? I really felt pity
for myself and said “No my parents are very strict and they never allow me to
keep my personal mobile”.
I called my mom and explained the situation. I returned the mobile to
him and said thanks. Now, I was searching for my classmates to borrow money for
public transport. I was not willing to ask for money from Naveen. I didn’t feel
comfortable borrowing from Naveen. So, I didn’t ask him.
He smiled again and said the same loudly. I handed the money back to him. He refused to get that back from me. We reached the main gate by walking having this conversation. We had to take our respective buses in the opposite direction. I got my bus once I reached the bus stop. He stood till I got on the bus. I turned and stared at him with the missing face. He smiled at me and left waving his hand.
MISSING MY SCULPTOR:
I
was on the bus traveling to my home. I had never felt that feeling in my
lifetime. It was like a mixed emotion of cry and happiness. Because what
happened that day was completely a new experience. I got no proposals on my
life till that day. For a middle-class girl with no experience that was a
life-changing day.
To be honest, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Since the bus was crowded with
many college students I got no seat. So I traveled in a standing position till
my stop. I was stand by facing a mirror. The incidents of the day were looping
throughout my mind, I was blushing looking myself at in the mirror.
Casually,
I noticed that the bus conductor was watching me for a long time. Since I saw
the mirror often, He thought that I was smiling at him. Once I realized that I tried
hard to stop smiling and come out of my dreaming world. But I couldn’t. I was
continuously smiling with blush looking at the mirror.
I
realized that I couldn’t control my smiling. I still had that charming
face, cunning smile, trimmed voice, naughty behavior, and all the cherished moments
that happened on that day virtually in front of me. I was hypnotized, I guess.
If you feel that I am exaggerating, I promise, I am definitely not exaggerating. That is how I felt that day. I think that’s the moment I fell myself for him. I think whoever had seen me on the bus that day, might have thought that I was a crack. But I have to admit that, In my life, I felt that, Love has the stupidity that will make you fool in front of people around you. Trust me. I literally felt that in my life.
With all these mixed emotions, I reached the bus depot and from there, I reached home around 8.00 PM. The whole night, Naveen was filled in my thoughts. I suddenly got an idea to fetch his mobile number. Since I used his mobile to inform my parents about my delay, I checked my mom’s mobile to track his number. But my bad, My mom had received too many calls around the same time. So, I couldn’t find his mobile number.
That whole night, I wondered if he would also be thinking about me in the same way as I am
thinking about him? Would he try to meet
and speak with me again? What if he just passed the time by playing around with
me? What if he doesn’t think about me? Why was I thinking much about him? All
these questions were swirling in my mind. I don’t even remember when I fell
asleep that day.
Did
I contact him again? Or How did we met each other again? What happened next
will be shared in the next episode. Please stay tuned friends.
