It was our sports period. We all girls wanted to handball. There was a boy called Jason. He was our classmate. All boys were playing football on the other side of the ground. Only he was not playing. He came near our court and sat a bit far from the court. There was a bench. I played for ten minutes and I was exhausted. So, I went near the bench and sat. There were a few meters of distance between us. After few seconds, he came near to me. I looked at him and greeted him. He also looked at me and smiled. I was sitting quietly and cheering our team.
suddenly he said, 'Can I say something to you?.
I said, sure.
Mary, I love you.
I was shocked when he said those words. Because I didn't expect something like this. I shouted at him. I scolded him a lot.
He said, 'Please Mary, I love you.
I said, 'I will complain to the principal'.
He said, sorry and ran away.
I don't know what should I do now!
Please help me, uncle.
(I started giggling when she told me about this.)
Don't laugh! Help me out.
Ok fine. I will help.
So tell me do you like him?
What rubbish uncle!
I don't like him. He was just a classmate to me.
It's not rubbish dear. See, Mary you are in the adolescent age and these are completely normal. These types of things are really fine. You should worry if things like these don't happen.
(I chuckled)
So, what should I do now uncle!
Ok, fine. I will tell you a tale of mine. After that, you can conclude. Decide what you want to do.
Ok, please tell.
{Many years back..... }
My father used to get a transfer for every3 to 4 years due to his job. So, I have to forget my old friends and need to go to a new school. I don't want to lose my best friends but, I was not having an option. we shifted to a new place. Everything and everyone was new to me. I got my admission to a reputed school itself.
It was my first day of school. I was in class eight. The school was very big. I was not having any idea where my class was. I thought asking someone would be a bit awkward. I felt a bit shy too. However, I got the direction to my class and I was going.
Suddenly, a girl tapped my shoulder.
I was terrified. I thought it would be a teacher. I looked back.
It was a girl. She wore two plaits. She had spectacles. Her hair was a bit curly.
She had lip gloss and looked attractive.
She asked, "what is your name"?.
Hi. My name is Anand.
Ohh. Ok. Bye.
(She was walking beside me. She looked at me and smiled. I didn't understand why did she smile at me. Is she interested in me!. Does she likes me!)
Many questions were unanswered with that smile.
I went back to the classroom. I took the last seat as all seats were already occupied. I was very calm on my first day. I didn't utter a word with any friend. The school final bell rang at 4 in the evening. Everyone started moving towards their buses. I was searching for the girl, whom I met in the morning. She was not from our class. I tried to look in other classes but I couldn't find her. I started moving towards my bus with disappointment. While entering my bus, I could finally see her. She was on another bus. She was enjoying herself with her friends. Her laugh was amazing. She has beautiful lips. When she laughs the lips transform into a wave. I loved those curves. Later, our bus moved. I was staring at her. So that, she could look at me for once. I just want to say 'hi' to her. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and we left the school. That was the first gift God gave me in my new school.
Days passed but still, I couldn't speak with her properly. I made many friends. Finally, I got to know her name. Her name was Nancy. Many times, I used to go to her class, she never watched me. I tried many ways to get her attention, but she never looked at me.
One day, it was our sports period. I love to play football. We played a lot and we were coming back to our class after playing. I was sweating a lot. I went to the washroom and cleaned my face. I was going to my class. When I looked there were four boys and three girls in a circle and discussing something. Nancy was also there. Many people were roaming in the corridor as it was our last period. I went to my class and sat. Suddenly, Everyone started shouting in the corridor, I understood something happened. I went to one of my friends and asked, 'what happened.
He told, one boy, proposed Nancy.
After, hearing that my heart became heavy. My heartbeat raised.
What did she say? I asked.
She said, sorry and also, she loves someone else it seems...
After, he said that. I started to breathe normally. I was shouting inside with joy.
I felt, she said no because she loves me!
I understood that she loves me but might be she was feeling shy.
(Mostly, the boys would propose, and girls would accept or reject. Girls only give clues.)
I have started building up more feelings for her. I thought I need to protect my queen. I can't let anyone come and propose to her. Isn't it?
I've decided to propose to, "the queen of my dreams". But, proposing in school would be an ordinary thing. I thought going to her home and proposing here would be the best proposal she witnessed in her life.
One of my friends and Nancy travel on the same bus. I told him about my love. Every friend would always try to help you when are in love. My friend also encouraged me. We only know the colony where she lives, but we don't know where exactly her house is located. In the evening, I went to my friend's house and we decided to search her house, with the clues we had. We gathered information about her house. Her house was painted with a light purple shade and they have an ash-colored old sedan car. These both were the clues we had. So we started looking for her house. What later happened was unexpected.
