I completed my supper. I went back to my room. I've opened my books to study but I was not in the mood to study I started thinking of Mr. and Mrs. James. Yes, she is his wife. It's his wish to call her the way he likes to. If she doesn't have any problem. Who the hell am I?. His wife's boyfriend!?.
If we kiss for once, does that mean there should be a relationship between us!. It could also be the heat of the moment. We couldn't control our feelings. She is a beautiful woman, so I got attracted to her that's it. She Is a very good woman, she could have told everything to his husband, but she didn't. She thought my future would be spoiled. No matter, if it was mutual too. She could blame me. but she didn't. She could have told to my father, but she didn't. All I understood that is she likes me but not in the other way. I decided not to think anything wrong about her. Whenever I get bored, I start imagining things like these. Also, only 5 days are left for my exams. So, my concentration should be only on my studies and I should forget her. I was making up my mind like this. I don't know, but I feel like I'm sacrificing something. Then, I remembered how good I am at sacrificing. My eyes started to shut down and I switched off the lights and had a peaceful sleep.
My alarm was buzzing in the morning 6.
My eyes are not ready to see the light again. But, I need to.
I studied for some time and again slept.
Every teacher started giving tips for the exams in the class. I am bored by listening to this because everyone is giving the same tips and we all heard them for n times.
We were studying the whole day in the class itself.
After school, I and my friend went to our favorite place to smoke.
Dude, we got exhausted today. I never thought I would study this much in my life, said my friend.
I laughed and said yes, me too.
We were refreshed by smoking. Only that could relax our minds now.
Later, I went to Mrs. Andrea's house. later I went for my tuition.
Hey Anand, how are you, man!
Hi sir, I am fine.
(James was wearing a luggage bag. I thought they both are going for a vacation)
Anand, open your books and study. I will be back in ten minutes, said Mrs.Andrea.
I said ok.
Sorry, dude. I thought of spending some time with you, but my boss called me and I need to go. Anyways we could catch up later.
I said, oh. And smiled.
(They both went away. I was alone in the house. My mind was telling me to go and explore the house. I was frightened. I sat quietly and studying.)
Mrs. Andrea enters the house.
Are you prepared for the exams? Questioned me.
I said, Yes. I am ready for the exam.
Did you go through all the important questions?
I affirmed.
She said, fine. And went to the kitchen.
My mind was telling me to, go inside the kitchen and my heart is opposing it. However, the brain won this time.
I took my notes and went inside the kitchen. I went near to ask a doubt in the subject. She just explained without proper eye contact. I understood that she didn't want to make one more mistake. I went back to my place and sat quietly.
The clock struck 8:30. I decided to pack my bag and go home. I said to her, I am going. She told me to wait.
She walked near to me from the kitchen. She was staring into my eyes with a stern look.
Anand, I want to ask you something and you should tell me the truth.
I said, sure.
Andrea: Do you smoke
Anand: yes
Andrea: does your father knows about this?
Anand: No way. laughs.
Andrea: Why do you smoke? Don't you know the consequences of smoking?
Anand: yes, I know the consequences, but I got addicted to it. I was smoking for 2 years. I will try to stop it in the future.
Andrea: Anand, please stop smoking. It is dangerous you can't risk your life like that.
Anand: ok, I will stop eventually.
{ I started moving}
Andrea: I was having a young brother. He started smoking when He was 18. He never listened to us. We tried a lot to change him. He got addicted to alcohol also.
Anand: oh I see.
(She was in grief)
Andrea: one day, he was driving a bike. He drank alcohol and with 100kmph, he was riding the bike. He was not in his senses. He directly went and hit the divider and he immediately died at the spot itself.
Anand: I am so sorry.
(She started crying and I don't know what to do. I went near to her. I wiped off her eyes and said, please don't cry. She hugged me and told me, I daily remember my brother till today, I don't want you also to get addicted to these stupid things. please stop all these things, Anand.
That moment when she hugged me and said not to smoke, I was melted by her words. I felt what best reason could be there more than this, for leaving all these. I promised her that I will not smoke from tomorrow. If we promise our loved ones anything, I believe we will try to stand on them. I felt like, cant I do this small thing for Mrs.Andrea!)
Please, don't cry Mrs. Andrea. I am promising you, till my death, I m not gonna again touch these cigarettes.
She gave a smile me. she was very happy when I said her, I will stop. I went back to my house.
Days passed away like minutes. I wrote all my exams well. I passed with a good percentage. After my exams, I never got a chance to visit her.
Oh my god! This is a big story. Angel said.
So from that day you never smoked? asked me.
No. I didn't. How could I break my promise?
This is a lovely story, Angel told.
I smiled looking at her.
Come on let's go down now, Krishna said.
Yes, the kids might be waiting for us. Let's go angel I said. All three went down.

Love is Love
Love doesn't stay for long
Still, We cherish them till the end
Love can break or make you
But Memories never break
Love doesn't mean only bed
A smile from them is also love
Love sometimes ends with just one kiss, but still, it is love
Love is an emotion, it should not be compared with other people
Love is Love
