Chapter - 2
2. The lighted wish :
I was a little bit nervous
about how to introduce myself, as I wasn't so studious in my 12th standard and
I didn't score good grades in entrance test. Mrs. Joseph was gazing from the
corner of her eyes as I could see her golden framed spectacles slightly sliding
down. For an instances , I wondered that she actually looks like a heroine
in Hollywood movies even at the age of 40's. Everyone in the class started
moving their heads back to see, who is at the last bench, to be introducing
first. It seemed, a bit like all the deer's were in a group near a pond sipping
water, and suddenly notices a lion hunting for its meal. I then realized that I'm
still in a unexpressed expression about what to do, then suddenly Ram started
tapping my lap whispering "Come on buddy say it..!".
I answered him
with a serious tone "No, I don't know what to say!!". Then something
which I never expected happened, that’s all of sudden he pulled me to his place and immediately
he shifted to mine just to save me from
the situation before ma’am observes . Guess what unsurprisingly Mrs. Joseph
noticed us and uttered “Wt!! and continued quoting that “It’s just your
starting day and you people started sharing your troubles, that's so great. Good
friendship and are you both already friends before?".
By giving respect to
her words me and Ram stood, as it was well taught to us in school that when we
see any elder person talking to us we must stand to give them some respect. I
answered "No mam! We were not friends before, but we are now”. I was so
happy that he saved me from that situation, and he was trying to give some
attention to me. He started his introduction like "Hi friends, I'm Ram.
I did my schooling and intermediate in so and so and I've joined in Engineering
to become a successful entrepreneur". Then next it was my turn, I said
"Hello guys, I'm Surya. I did my schooling and intermediate in so and
so college(I don't want to share my properties publicly), I've joined in
Engineering to be a software developer".
All the students were waiting
as if they are in front a box office to collect their movie ticket. Everyone
introduced and finally left with only 2 girls.
One girl stood; I didn't look
her from when she started her introduction, but then the girl who began
introducing was taking so much time so I looked at her from corner of my eyes
but wide open. She had
a beautiful face with nice curves and edges, her hair was so long, straight, thick
and brown in colour at some parts. Her eyes were so big as of owl but very
pretty to look at them. I felt like swimming in her eyes although its an
imagination. Her lips were pink in colour. She wore pink top with blue leggings. She introduced
herself as "Hi! I'm Manasa. I did my schooling in Bangalore and
intermediate in Calcutta. I've joined in Engineering to opt for M.S in
Australia. I like designing, painting and also love to write novels ". She
was the only one who took 5 minutes to say about her in brief while all others took
atmost 1min and finished their intro half uttering. I was so impressed with her
words. She spoke in a friendly voice and her tone was exactly like a baby dog.
Lol! But actually her tone was exactly like a sparrow too which is chirps early
morning.
After her introduction I was a bit more surprised and my heart beat
went out of almost 200 bits per minute. It was Deby sitting next to her and I
was like "Yuppiee! I know her" and I whispered to Ram that I know
her, she and me both studied in same class in our intermediate. Ram said
"What that pink top girl?". I said "No Ram, not that pink top,
that girl next to her". He said "Oh! You mean Deby Sangam. I too know
her" as if he knew her from childhood. I was totally surprised by his way
of response. He spoke to me as if he was her boyfriend, I felt like that and
said to myself "Cool down Surya! He might be kidding", and next to
that he suddenly exclaimed "She is my girlfriend and we both are in touch
from our schooling, we talked to our parents too about our future and currently
we joined Engineering so that we can know much more about each other".
After hearing those words I
felt that "At the age of 14 , they proposed each other and at the age of
17 ,they are loving and I think at the age of 18, they are going to get married
as if they're going to die at 25". I felt pity on their decision but I
can't judge anyone; cause I was neither their parents nor their family. I'm
just a friend and I should help them to make decisions and I know at this age
it's common, people fall in love with everyone.
It was break time and
everyone started murmuring in class and many divided into gangs. As me and Ram
become friends we both went out for some fresh air and stood in corridor. Deby
came towards him and I was in confusion state either to abandon that place or
to be with him. I saw Manasa also coming with her so I felt like staying. Deby
started talking to him in a lovely manner and Manasa introduced herself to Ram and Deby said her "He is
Surya, we both are intermediate
classmates". Basically I'm not a type of guy who flirts with girls and I
feel shy to talk usually. Deby knows about me so she just said about me and in
next 2min as Deby,Ram and Manasa were engrossed in talking; I left that place
as I wasn’t comfortable. Ram didn't
react much as he was busy with his girlfriend, playing with her funk and
placing it in right position as it was breezing hard and trembling. They both
started holding hands and I was seeing them from other end but I was talking to
other new friends who were introducing themselves
During our lunch break we
all went to canteen to have lunch. As a part of engineering "Senior’s do
rag fresher’s until the fresher's party". We four took a table which was
next to the open door and everyone could see us. Ram and Deby were wondering
"how to be seated?", as they both wanted to sit ,next to each other but they looked
worried about Me and Manasa, thinking if we both will we be comfortable ,to sit
next to each other. I managed to sit in a single seat and Manasa sat opposite
to me. Deby and Ram sat next to each other and smiled at us. I gave a wink
expression to Ram saying I accept your privacy too.
Mean while when we were
having lunch some seniors spotted us, who bunked their classes and were looking
for freshers to have some fun. They came and sat beside us. They choose Manasa
first and Bio data. She asked her to narrate her CV in brief , and she managed
to repeat what she told in class; one
among the seniors asked about her hair style and why is it so straight and
puffy. She gave a look like "Why the fuck ,do you want to know about a girl's
hair?". A idiot guy asked her "Do you've a boyfriend?" as if she
say's no , and he would propose her. Manasa looks so cute. Her formal dressing sense and hairstyle
makes her look pretty. The expressions of her eyes and lip moments gives a
feeling of falling in love with her and whenever she sets her long pony tail in
position, it gave me a feeling as adorable. Manasa said "Yes I've a boyfriend named Rahul , who
is doing his B.Tech in nearby
college" without wasting a second. After that we abandoned from canteen to save her from
other seniors.
After all our classes we said good bye and sat in our bus.
After reaching home I narrated what all happened in college to my parents
and sister. I didn't tell about Manasa and Deby as my parents don’t like me talking
about girls. I was thinking deeply on "Does Manasa really have a
boyfriend? Or she lied to save herself from situation?" as most of the girls
like to save themselves from all these worthless situations. I was the only
one ,who was single in my group and was
excited to know about Manasa but as it was the first day of college I can't
call her; I didn't ask her number too.
I rang up Ram casually to talk about
class and faculty; with some courage I asked about his love story. "He
started saying its a long story, but yes its lovely to explain. We were friends
from school, I saw deby most attractive and she likes me too. It was children's
day and we all were taken to zoo park. Me and Deby were partners (in school
they make partners to take care of each other until they leave that visiting
spot). When we went near Lion’s place, it roared and it sounded more than a
thunder storm. She got frightened and hugged me so tight. My heart felt too warmth at the moment and something
sparkled . I called her on that night on Viber and proposed her. She doesn't
like all these but as it was me, she took almost 1 week to think and said
"Yes...I too love you."
