It Never Ended For Me...

In my life, I came across a lot of things. And everything had a beginning and an end. But this thing hasn't ended yet and m still stuck in those memories. Maybe I don't want it to end, this unfinished part of my story has an open end and it will remain the same... maybe forever.

My exams were over, and this summer was so bad to all the human beings that I couldn't take it, so I came back home. After six months I was back home and everyone surrounded me for all the tales of glory that I'll be telling them, as if I've came from some big voyage or war, it was just my first time when I lived in a hostel. All my cousins from neighborhood surrounded me and asked me stupid questions about ragging and other things, of-course I wasn't going to tell them all that. After everyone was over with meeting me, they left for their home, and I got some peace. I wanted to spend time with my home, my small pond which was my favorite spot and all those ducks in that pond. It made me feel alive, energetic and peaceful at the same time. I've always loved and admired the nature, its beauty and felt like writing poems like William Wordsworth praising its beauty.

I was home for 2 months, and after few days of staying at home, I was really tired of not having any work to do, so I was kind of getting bored, but then something happened which made those holidays the most memorable period of my life. A very close friend of my dad had shifted to our town, so they were invited to our house for dinner. I was not very excited to meet them but when they came I realized that I was making a huge mistake because they came with an angel. When I saw her, I went in state of shock or maybe I was amazed but yeah she was like the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was sitting there, looking at me, smiling, while I was noticing her beauty, her beautiful big twinkling eyes. I said 'Hi' to her and she replied with the sweetest 'Hello' in the world, her voice was so smooth, so soft and so magical that I was already so much attracted towards her. I couldn't sleep that night, I mean it took me more than 3 hours to fall asleep that night because as I closed my eyes her smiling face came in front of my eyes, her beautiful eyes were haunting me.
I told my sister about this, but she didn't take it seriously, but yeah she never missed any chance to tease me. Once while my parents were going to meet someone, I made an excuse to stay at home. My parents wanted me to go but I wasn't ready to go anywhere because all I wanted was to remember her alone sitting beside my pond with some romantic music. Suddenly my cruel sister came to me and said "I cant believe you don't wanna meet her" and I almost got a minor heart attack. I ran towards my room and within split-seconds I was ready and rushed to mom and said "its okay, I'll go if you insist, anyways their is nothing left to eat in fridge so I hope they'll serve good food at least" my mom was surprised at my strange behavior, but it was worth it, I got to see her and every time I saw her, I felt those butterflies in my stomach. From that day I made a promise to myself, I will never, never ever miss any chance to see her.

Then came a day, when our families and friends decided to go for a trip to a nearby hill-station Zero. We had booked a mini-bus to visit that place. We were around 15-20 guys and I was lucky enough to get the last seat of the bus beside her. She was sitting near window and cool breeze was playing with her hair. I could not take my eyes off her, even for a second, she smelled great, her hair smelled great and everything about her was so aesthetic that I was lost. I came back to my senses with her mesmerizing voice she asked me to pass her the water-bottle. I was loving each and every moment, she was sitting beside me and we were surrounded by all the beautiful mountains, valleys and rivers. We were talking about movies, music and other things and I was listening to her and man I loved her voice. I told her she should try singing, she laughed it off. As we were moving forward, we came closer, as friends. We saw a hanging bridge, made of ropes and wooden planks, we stopped the bus, we came down and were crossing it, it was beautiful, the river, the valley and the mountain. The sun was setting down, we could see it going down the horizon and everything was shining in its red sunshine, I looked at her, she was smiling, I can never forget that moment.

We reached there, it was already late, we had dinner together and then we all went to sleep. For the first time in life I wanted to wake up early, even in my board exams I never thought of waking up so early but this was different. Next morning I woke up early, with a cup of coffee went to balcony, I could see her from my balcony, she was there in the garden with all messed up hair and rays of early morning sun were kissing her cheeks. She was looking the most beautiful flower in the garden.

That day all the elders had to go out to meet a family friend so we all were left at guesthouse, mostly children. Only person who was around my age was her, and one elder cousin who was taking care of all the children. I thought of taking a walk outside. As I started walking outside, a voice stopped me "Hey where are you going alone?", I turned behind and she was standing there. "Going out for a walk, wanna join?" I said, she told me that there was a beautiful lake behind the guesthouse which she had seen from her room, she wanted to go there. We both came out and headed towards that lake. On the way we saw a beautiful hut on a hill, surrounded by orchids, we decided to go there. As we were climbing that hill, for the first time I held her hand, her skin was as soft as cotton. when we reached there we saw nature from closest, all the green trees, the birds and cool breeze. Then we went to the lake, we sat there, watching the Sun sinking in the water. I asked her interests, she liked books, poems, music and my favorite William Wordsworth. She asked me if I had a girlfriend, I blushed and said 'Naah'. She smiled and said 'Okay' I asked her 'what about You?' she said 'my girlfriend? naah m not that type' and laughed, I smiled too.

While returning to guesthouse we were holding hands, maybe because it was cold but I'll ignore that fact to feel good, I was at top of the world. After Dinner we had to return back home, so this time I didn't took any chance and grabbed the last seat beside her. She had her Walkman and was listening to Bryan Adams. When she saw me, she took one end of the earphone and put it in my ear and smiled. It was playing...
...Look into my eyes, you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more...

After four hours when we reached home she was sleeping, resting her head on my shoulder. I hated it but I woke her up. I was feeling sad, all these sweet moments were over, and I was afraid that this could be end, but while I was unloading the luggage she came to me and handed me a piece of paper, smiled and went back. My heart was besting fast, In my whole life I had never experienced something like that. I was afraid as well as excited to read that note, I opened it...

'Text me on my mom's number tonight after 10'

That night, after 10 I was in my bed, with my dad's cell which I had stolen from his room, phew that was a tough task, I had to make proper strategy to do that, cause if he'd find out I was out of the house. Now I was afraid that what if she was not having her mom's phone, so at first I sent her a blank text, and waited for reply. To my surprise I got a reply within a minute, we started chatting. We kept chatting for whole night, about different things, we shared jokes, poems, our hostel experiences, I told her about my ragging in hostel but she didn't. This went on for a week, every night we'll steal our parent's mobile phones and chat on texts.

Then came the night when my heart and emotions overcame my mind and sanity. It was raining outside, the raindrops were creating the most romantic music on our tin roof. I was enjoying the moment and suddenly the text came

She- Its raining :)
Me- I was going to text u the same :)
She- I love rains <3
Me- Me too, everything about rains, the sweet smell of soil when it rains, the sound of raindrops on our tin roofs, everything :)
She- And sound that frogs make? :P
Me- lol that too :P ... ... ... Its romantic
She- hmmmm... Are you missing someone?
Me- Yeah... missing someone a lot
She- who?
Me- Shez the one I love.
She- But you said you're single :o
Me- Well yes I am, She dont have any Idea about how much I love her.
She- can I meet her?
Me- hmmm... yes... but I dont know what your reaction will be when you'll see her.
She- I'll be happy ofcourse
Me- How can you be so sure?
She- You can try... please tell me whoz she, I wanna see her. Where did u meet her?
Me- Hmm well she was with me few days back, we sat beside a lake and watched sunset together... at that time I fell in love with her...But I dont know what she felt :(

After that text I waited for her reply. And about half an hour passed by and no reply came, and I felt asleep. At around 3 or 4 I woke up, and I was shocked at my carelessness, How could I sleep in this critical situation, I just proposed a girl and I felt asleep even without knowing the answer. Then I took the mobile, there was one unread message. My heartbeats increased, I was afraid to open that text, my hands were shivering and I felt so nervous for the first time. I pressed the green key on the phone, opened the text and phew It was a yes, the reply was...

"...Do you know, that girl felt the same for you too, she wanted to stay there in that moment with you forever..."

So finally this was official that I was in relationship with a girl, but this was only half of it, I'll tell you second half of my story in next blog...
