I am Sonnet and I'm taking back my position.
Have I ever mentioned before that I am a member of a college private anime group?
Sadly Sky is not a member, he doesn't watch anime or read manga. He only loves to read books and has an interest in sports, especially cricket. I remember when I asked him regarding cricket he was so elated. He was telling me everything in detail from which store he bought his cricket goods to where he goes to play. He was even showing his steps and reflexes.
I didn't ask for so much but it was spontaneous. Just like anyone would ask me about anime and painting.
I also suggested that he go for the auditions during the college fest where various events would be held. And he can represent a team.
He was elated but suddenly he stopped and said, "I don't know whether I will go for it or not. Actually I can't miss the important classes. "
Then I remembered he is just like me regarding the classes.
" Well, see if you can. I hope you at least give it a try for auditions. "
He replied, " Yeah. Sure"
Today the club meets online.
We were watching the poll for the anime. I was very happy to see " Death Note" at the top. I was actually very happy because it deserves it. Other members were quarrelling over " Demon Slayer"
I replied, " People worldwide love thrillers. So this is the hit one. "
They all bowed at once. Obviously I can't leave one of my favourite anime to be defeated just like that hmph.
Then I showed them one anime painting. Alex pointed out. From where the phasor diagram at the back page pops up. I replied, " Great use of electrical copy. "
The entire group started to laugh. They were praising my picture. I only hoped I could show that to Sky. But exams are knocking on the door. And he might get angry or may be disappointed if I show him these things.
I remember for once he appreciated my anime drawing when I was at the library drawing. I didn't develop feelings for him at that time. He complimented me while I was drawing.
I replied, " I used to draw better in my school life. This is not standard. Anyways thanks. "
He was so angry that time he replied, " This is the reason I don't like people of your type. Take it as a compliment. Who wants to know whether you were better or not?"
I felt very hurt. I was trying to tell him sorry but he went out right after that.
Now I regret why I had replied to him in a rude manner.
Sigh!
Our party continued. And we were really happy to discuss even old anime, I mean childhood anime as well.
Every one of us wished to go to Japan once in our lifetime to really feel the womb of anime. The one which accompanies me still now. Through everything thick and thin.
