Pieces of
life-1
I knew you knew that I liked her.
Frankly speaking I was in her love. It was not possible me to express but it
was a truth. I must accept, her appearance could make me happy and it was the
only mood changing phenomenon for me. Her absence or delay in college used to
made me restless. It resulted in bunking daily periods. A sincere and regular
student like me, now, becomes a subject of wide discussion. Many rumors were
spread like an uncontrolled hurricane that had no mercy for me. Some said I
have lost my temper, some where blaming my ever growing closeness with the boys
who have not good reputation in college. Some blamed my sound economical status
and criticized as, ‘Money spoils youngsters.’ But, yet, they express concern
for me as, ‘It is unfortunate.It should not have happened with me.’
I was also confused
about the changing pattern of my day today life. Irregularity was become a
key-word to refer me. I used to stay in my own world. Not a single moment could
have passed without her thought. She had filled up my universe. I started to
see her in every substance I came across. She was everywhere. On blackboard, in
the face of my teacher, in my books, on the moving leaves of the tree and where
not? But I had not any daring to talk her or utter even a single word before her.
That is what I could do was to observe her keeping a long distance from her and
dreaming for hours and hours,restlessly,without caring time and space. Air was
filled up with her fragrance. Nature had borrowed its beauty from her. Her
melodious voice was not human, but it was blessed. In those days, I always felt,
she was not from this world; she was an angel, Gods special creation.
Sometime, I had observed in the premises of my college,
thousands of eyes were chasing her. It brought a wave of jealous in my mind. I
used to get angry for a while. My heart was running with uncontrollable breathings.
Many thoughts came to destroy my peace of mind. A day came when I had lost my
temper.I caught her speaking with a boy, an unknown creature whom I had not
seen ever before. They were talking over a cup of tea in college canteen. She
was laughing, holding a cup with one hand and picking up her hairs those playing
with her chicks and placing them forcefully behind ears. I felt jealous for
those hairs. How nice, if I could have been one of them. She was very busy;
both were looking familiar to each other for long time. But who was he? It was
not fair that she spend her time in this way. What will people think? I could
not endure if anybody expresses bad words for her. I would kill him. People
have tendency of searching issues for gossip. They make mockery on others. She
might be become a victim. But she should be careful about that. It was better
if she should not sit in canteen with any unknown boy. I was standing here in
the shades of a tree that quiet away from them. From there, she could not see me,
but everything was visible to me. And then it shocked me when I saw, they rose up
and went towards parking area. I observed them with extreme curiosity, both
were looking very happy in each other’s company. He touched her hand while walking.
She also responded and fondled his middle finger .Breathlessly, I was observing
everything. And he picked up his bike, dragged it out of the parking and kicked
it. She also sat delicately on the back seat placing her palm on his shoulder.
She was sitting very close to him; even air could not pass between them.
She was executing his directions, I meticulously observed. On
his demand, she again moved ahead and just stick to his back then put her
feather like hand on his thigh. I was looking everything like a dark and horrifying
nightmare. I was helpless, devastated. He twisted accelerator and run the bike speedily.
I felt, he was crushing my heart under his bike. Some drops gathered in the
corner of my eyes. I was seeing them without a movement of my eyelid. They were
riding on bike, but I felt they were swiming in my tears…..
