She never understood him
Ahh!! She thought entering the computer lab for the last lecture. She rested herself on a chair in front of a computer.As always she had chosen a cubicle with two computers. She did that to keep the whole load of books she used to carry to college on the other chair.
This was because she wanted to put forth an image of a studious girl so as to avoid unwanted attention from (popular & stupid) guys.
She lifted the whole pile of books and kept it beside her. As she was turning back..she heard..."heyy wazz this"
It was...a guy...of her college doing his final year.....
She knew that because he was the same guy who had saved her from one of his roudy classmates....in the first sessions of ragging.
Yet she didn't know his name...
She said...."am sorry......I didn't notice"
"its ok"
he stood up and walked away saying...that.
Some time after he had gone....she thought..that yet another time she had forgotten to ask his name.
It was 2:00 PM....she was at home now..
tired like anything as usual...heat was too high...
but she never slept...
how could she...
she used to wait for the afternoon chat...when "he" was online
It had been months now that she had been chatting with him..first being on "4th of sept" .....
this guy..called.."Parikshit"..was a special friend for her's now.
She had shared with him....everything....that was going on in her life...and some of the things which she had not even told her parents.
She had found him to be a caring soul...to whom anything could be shared.
yes he was online that day.....
she told him what had happened at college....
He felt she was giving some iidications that she likes that guy.
Suddenly...what she saw on the chat box was
"Pragya"....I think you should concentrate on your studies. This is not the correct time to talk about love and boys".
"heyy come on..ikshi..I never said i liked him"
"ho ho ho....u r teaching me??......anyway I have some work to do..so cya"
Now..as the chat had ended so early...she went to sleep....
The next day at college...huh.....was the worst of all....
the same guy..she had a .."crush" on..had insulted her....for no real reason...at the college canteen.
She was damn upset...she shared it all to her chat friend...
he felt bad...but still didn't show it....at all.....
He kept on saying..."dear I think you should..be just worried about your studies..and nothing at all"
but later that day..when she was just cheking her mail....she noticed a mail from him....
long one...consoling her.... and also an e-card..saying "cheer up"
she was fine now feeling better...but her tender..young heart....fell in love with..yet another guy...
and this time it was Parikshit.
She kind of started giving him....subtle indications..with her silly and frank words.
Some days later....
When she went online for the chat......he wasn't there....she felt he was avoiding....
She felt....her "iskhi"...was tired..of her silly talks...after all she was a kid...not even 18...
She wrote a long mail...and..waited for a reply.....
What he wrote was shocking for her...and what she concluded was that he never felt the same for her.
The first thing she did was to now to change the name "ikshi" to "parikshit" on her chatlist...
"he can never be so close....."
Days passed by....
she was angry ..with all guys ...got back to books..... she studied hard...worked day and night with books...and she secured a high pecentage....
years passed by....she was 23 now....working at a software firm....
one day.......she got a call
.....she took it.....it was him....
"I Love you" he said....
She was surprised to hear that.....but this simple....chirpy....frank.... and yet intellegent girl had understood....why her "ikshi" chose to be away from her...
She was even more surprised to hear his voice....which sounded.....like....the college guy she had a crush on..
Love does not only mean....understanding....and care....but it also means sacrifice. Sacrifice needn't be of life......many a times that is very easy.
This is not completely fiction.....some of it is from my life....
