On That Day

ON THAT DAY

    Today is our university anniversary day. Every student is busy in organizing the program. The schedule of the program is being prepared by Neeha, the lady Boss and topper of our college. My friend Aakash is working with the stage decoration. The university auditorium hall is getting ready with decorations by my friends. Everyone is in hurry.

            Outside the hall, in the green garden of the auditorium, the rain washed smell of the soil giving a refreshing pleasure and the water droplets on the leaves reflecting the sunlight describes how pleasant the morning is.

            I am always away from those works so im walking in this garden alone kicking the heaps of fallen leaves. I am somewhat happy because today I am going to meet Isha, my only girl bestiee for the first time. In this happy mood I forgot and entered into the auditorium hall. After sometime Aakash and Neeha slowly pulled me into the work, and soon I’m busy in it.

            In the busy my mobile vibrated many times but I didn’t notice it. 

            The program is going to start in a few minutes, Neeha sent me to computer lab to bring the laptop. I went to the computer block covering all the blocks.

            As I entered into the computer lab, I found myself infront of Isha, my girl bestiee. I suddenly lost my senses, her eyes are awesome and her face is pretty cute. She is completely beyond description. 

            I, at once came into senses and quickly came out of the computer lab and stood out of the door and smiled to myself and said

Me- wow, she is so cute, I am so lucky to feel that atleast she is mine.

            Now I took a deep breath and again entered into the computer lab, gave a smile to her and took the lapy and ran like hell to the auditorium as it is already late.

            The college auditorium is filled, isha and her friend sat at the last seats of the hall in the girls row. I stood as a volunteer at the last beside Isha leaning on the wall. 

            The strange thing between us is that we never talked outside, I think that all the hours we spent online and in calls were waste of time. So today we decided to talk to each other finally.  

            Isha is a student of other college, we met in facebook unexpectedly. I always bileave that unexpected friends are the best ones who understands our feelings well though they are far from us.

            Now, in this hall we are looking into each other, I wanted to talk to her but I don’t know why I am unable to talk to her.

            Hours passed, programs are being closing one by one, speeches are ending, we are still looking into each other without chanting a single word.

            I am a person who cant communicate well with others. My past relations are failed due to this defect in me. And they finally used to say that “YOU ARE A BORING CANDIDATE”, this makes me think that I am a zero in communication. 

            At first when I met Isha, I told her about my defect that I am a boring person, but she gave a reply to me

Isha- yes, you are a boring candidate, but I am not that type of girl who left you, I promise that ill be with you life long.

These words made me feel something in me and I am waited all my life to hear this from someone. But I said my defect to her because I feared that I may loose Isha too like others due to my defect.

            We spent many months chatting, sharing eachothers favorites and a lot more. Once, she introduced me to Michel, the boy who proposed her, but she ignored. I too shared my past relations with her.

            Time is passing, it became evening 6:30am, the main color of todays function, the flash mob started, we were still silent. I felt that there is something between us stopping to meet and talk. This something is making us far apart and separating us. I started to fear that I am gonna loose her.

            Soon Aakash, my best friend called me to come to the front of the stage. There he introduced me to his girl friend, soniya . we shook hands and all three sat there. Aakash and soniya are enjoying the flash mob, but I am disappointed for missing Isha here.

            I texted to Isha “ Hey im here enjoying with Aakash and Soniya, Are you alone there Isha?”

Then Isha replied me “ No, Michel came here and were enjoying at back”.

Seeing this reply all the smile vanished in my face. My mind blocked at once , the flash mob music became mute to me, I am not knowing whats going on around me. Aakash and soniya laughing and enjoying, boys and girls dancing on the stage, all the audience screaming and enjoying the function and the Isha’s message In front of my eyes. Its clear that she is enjoying with Michel, the boy who proposed her.

            I don’t know how to react, whether to cry for loosing her or to get angry for meeting him.

            All of a sudden the entire world made me alone. I got up from my seat, walked through the middle of the mob and rushed out of the hall with disappointment and came out of the college. I started my bike and made my way to home.

            While riding im still remembering her eyes, cheeks and the words which touched my heart and also the last message of her with Michel. No doubt its clear now that I am a boring candidate, tears started to roll from my eyes, being it dark outside no one noticed it. I rode bike with totally collapsed mind.

            I went home and banged my room door and wept hard to my extent and I slowly went into sleep without dinner. 

            I came into senses at 1 am, midnight and sat on my bed, I unlocked my mobile and found 6 messages from Isha, it read as below.

Isha- I am going to block you, you made me cry for the first time, I am even crying now, you left me      alone in the function hall and you enjoyed with Aakash and soniya, you didn’t even bothered      about me and you atleast didn’t asked me to come there, I came to your college tom meet you,     it is clear that you have no interest on 

me . I am going to block you…..

After reading this I didn’t understand whether to cry for her love or to still be angry on her, I saw the message time. She sent me at 9:00 pm, now it became 4 hours, I replied to her message

Me- you said that you are enjoying with Michel.

Instantly I got reply from her

Isha- no,.. I just said that because you said that as you are enjoying with Aakash and Soniya, but atleast you must have commonsense to imagine me with Michel as I am sitting in girls row how can a boy from other college come and sit beside me, and that too even after I rejected his proposal. 

             Suddenly a happy tear rolled from my eyes, and said her what I thought and what I did.

            We both cried bitterly and there came a message

Isha- love you so… much…..sorrry for my misunderstanding.

            She said at 9:00pm that she will block, but she waited for my message till now with out sleep. This shows how she believed in me that ill definitely give explanation.

          

         Now I understood that the silence between us is not making us apart instead it is bringing us so closer with more feelings making our bond stronger.

And finally please think before you hate a person because every time misunderstanding is on duty to break your relations.
