It was the first day of my half yearly school examinations and I was 15 minutes late for the school. I was rushing to my classroom and uttering abusive words to the guard who interrupted my way. I somehow reached to the classroom and jumped inside my bench. Then I noticed that my friends were smiling at me I couldn't guessed the reason.After 15 minutes I git a deep breath and relaxed myself then I got that my friends were smiling at me because my junior bench mate was a girl. I looked at her without thinking anything and as soon as I saw her I immediately turned to my answer sheet and I have no explanation for my action. Then after several times I thought to have her glance but I couldn't. After sometime I somehow dared to corner my eyes towards her. She was spectacular. Her curly hairs just swirled my heart away, her face was as bright as sun, her thin lips seems more pure than brook, her expression were killer. I really got stunned by having her my benchmate. When the Invigilator came I noticed her name. Astha. A common name possesed by a tremendous thing of beauty. Even after seeing her details I asked in which class she is and the way she answered just held my breath, ah! the beauty talked to me. A few moments later I realised my foolishness. I wanted to talk to her but I was not in a mood to become her 'bhaiya' and only this was stopping me to talk to her. Later I made up my mind that I would tell her not to call me 'bhaiya' if she said. I told her that I didn't have the updated timings of exams so I was late otherwise I am very punctual. She told me that even she got the timings on Facebook. Later I asked about her natives. And after the exams she just vanished.I came to my room and started preparing for the next examination but somewhere in my mind I had her glimpses. I was telling everyone about her. I wasn't in love neither it was an attraction, it was a deep feeling as pure as Astha. Before the next exam I called my monitor and asked if the seating arrangements got changed but he assured me to think positive, I called him several times and asked the same question and after a few calls his phone got switched off without any reason, I knew this would happen and amazing was that I was not angry at him. The next day I went to school 15 minutes earlier and was asking everyone "meri wali aayi kya" and told everyone that she is my girlfriend and no one will even try to stare at her. I was waiting eagerly for her. I started thinking on a less important topic than her, my exam then she enters reminding me that how could I think over a less important topic than her. With the same curly hair, same serious expressions on her face, she was walking like if she was the Invigilator. The closer she was coming the dimension of my smile was increasing. I was smiling like insane. As soon as she came I started talking to her. And at last I got her Facebook ID. The moment I entered my room I opened Facebook and searched her. I requested every girl named Astha on Facebook like an insane except a ID with a profile picture of eyes. And when I came to room after my tuitions I checked Facebook and I literally jumped when I have a friend request from Astha Roy. And as soon as I accepted a message popped "hii", " padh liye" , the second message was the first annoying question she asked to me. From that day we started chatting, she told me that she lives here in a girls hostel with her elder sister but in different rooms and she started using Facebook due to her ex, I asked her to change the topic and she replied in positive and said this is not a matter to duscuss. I am the worst flirter but I flirted with her and her answers made me to do this more. One day I told her that my room is very congested and I want to shift in her heart, she replied "ok" but without any luggage except books as her heart can accommodate only humans. Her answer made me notice two thing, first she is fool and second she likes me too. After a few days of chatting, on 18th of September I was watching India vs Pakistan cricket match and was texting her but having late replies which I hate most. I told her I will not talk to you anymore and this is a punishment for her late replies. She asked me how could I punish her (because she knew I love her). I said- "I can". She said - " ok", as I wish. I don't know why on that time, that day I said - "I can't punish you" "I love you pagal". She replied with a heart emoji. I asked " what"? then she replied the most awaited statement - "I love you too"
I told my friends about it and we all shouted in joy.
This is how all it was started. Her "I love you too" stopped all the nonsense activities in my life and I felt silence in my life after three years. But I forgot that often silence are followed by destructive storms and I was not having any idea of that.
