On my way home, I rode the bus. It was not that cramped with passengers which was a good sign. Suddenly Sky started chatting with me. It was my first time chatting with someone on a bus. I usually don't chat on the bus. Be it the most important of the messages. Not even my parents'.
I was super bored but his chat drove it away.
We were chatting regarding the university roll numbers. We got one after another roll which made us one step closer.
Then I reached home. I changed into my home dress. I grabbed some food and went to bed. There I lay with my phone . He was having difficulty regarding the form filling. He was asking whether the "Print " option was active or not. I tried it out first. It didn't work for me. He got anxious. I was using my smartphone. He was using the same.
I finally replied, either we need to go to the cafe or we need to attach the printer since no pdf is available. He all of a sudden gave me his other phone number. He had two phone numbers. One which contained the weibo, another where I can call him. Due to some settings 2 couldn't be in sync in one mobile.
I was extremely happy and scared at the same time. Happy that he trusts me. And scared at his request.
He said, " Since I am not always available on weibo you can call me. If you get any updates call me up because I won't be opening the account for the time being".
I said, " Sure".
But my heart palpitated. I had never called up a boy of the same age before. I took calls from them but never became the initiator. That was the first time for my crush. My heart races whenever I chat with him. But directly over mobile it was like a secret temptation or fear that haunted me.
I called up Lacy for the solution to print the form, if she had any. She told me to use the Laptop so that the pdf may be initiated and to take it in a pen drive.
I called up Sky. I was engrossed in hearing his ringtone. The ringtone was as if I was reading his heart. Although he has a jolly and happy aura maybe.. But the ringtone had made me dive into the unending ocean searching for the lonely heart which needed to be cared for , A heart filled with complete sorrow.
"Hello, Sonnet any news".
I suddenly got a shock. I was a bit distracted.
I said, " Yea ah Yes. "
The first time I heard his voice over the phone. It was as if listening to a poet's voice with birds chirping all around. My heart is fleeting along with them. What I heard was his voice Or my heart pounding in sync with him. Whatever it is I am not sure.
I said what Lacy said.
He replied, " Since this is the case, if I can't do it today can you do it for me?"
" I will try", I replied.
He said, " You know my password right? "
I said , " No".
He said to note down his password. Actually everyone's password was their date of birth. Maybe It was God's will that I got to know his birth date and he himself said that to me. He was 7 months younger than me. My heart bled thinking about that because as far as I know my parents would never allow such a person to date with me even if someday we truly come to love each other.
Then he finally said, " Don't misuse my password ", in a different tone.
I replied, " I am not you. Don't place people on the same footing as yours. "
He tittered.
I smiled too. Maybe he didn't feel it. But I felt his warmth and happiness.
Finally we bid each other goodbye .
I was thinking about how my voice sounded over the phone. Was it overbearing? Or was it a bit too mature?
But for him I took the initiative . His voice was already enough to make me struggle to stay at home.
At last the voice of my spring came. For many days I have been wishing to get his phone number. And today my wish was fulfilled.
At night he confirmed that Lacy's method worked. And he said, " Thank you. You try it for yourself."
I replied, " Sure"
He replied, " But it took most of the internet for one simple thing"
I replied, " it's better than getting nothing "
He replied, " Okay,Bye "
I replied, " Bye"
He replied, " Of course, rather than anything after all it's about the exam"
Then he was offline.
I was happy to spend time with him even at home.
I went off to sleep early..
Seeking my voice of spring in my Dreams…
