5 5. From strangers to friends

I was soo upset that he couldn't even remember my name when i was dreaming about the first time we talked. Firstly, i was broke cause he didnt even recognize me even after sir called me up for checking on his bag. Secondly, he forgot my name in a day. I felt so unimportant to him eventhough i was no one for him. I couldnt stop thinking about the things when it came to him. I realised myself changing in his case because as i mentioned earlier i never worried much about anything.

How can he forget my name or didn't he bother about me at all. I was hurt but i never complained or said anything because 'who is he?' 'What rights do i have on him?' These questions kept me back to myself. But i was happy that he atleast tried to ask me again and that does mean he feels like knowing my name.

His hi-bye sessions continued for 2more days until the twist came out. Our class had a chat group where i was added by a guy. Since nobody have talked much to each other, all had a doubt on who i am. They started asking each other 'who is this new girl added'. Before i could introduce myself, Aslan came into the plot. He texted 'This is Tia, my first friend from college'.

I was like "WHATT, Your first 'Friend'?"

I dont even remember talking to him at all and he considered me as his friend.

He was busy texting people who i am and where i sit and who is my friend and everything about me which made me blush. So i had to text him individually to stop the mess. He immediately replied me back and thus our conversation started. I don't exactly remember what all we talked and how long the chat session went that evening. But from next day, it became a routine to text him at evening and the chat continued till morning. We had a lot of topics to discuss and we had actually the opposite likings. Everything was so magical with him and i didn't knew how time flied when we talked. 4am and 5am became our sleeping time and still morning 9am we used to start our next conversation.

Since i studied in a girl's convent school i had no idea what exactly what this was like. I never thought how addicted i am to the person. How much i like spending time with him until one day he disappeared. We had 3 days off from college and he just disappeared and didn't come online or text me. I was worried because ever since we started talking, we used to spend atleast 8hrs talking to each other. I tried to text him even after knowing he won't text me back. I spend all the time texting him cause that has become my habit so i couldn't stop it even when he wasn't there to reply me.

I was completely shattered for those days and suddenly after 3days i saw a messaged which popped up and i was so happy. He finally texted me back-" You are always special for me and will always be".

Those words were enough to keep me happy for that whole day. I jumped around reading that text. I reread it 100times and i was still feeling excited about that. He said 'i am special and i will always be'. That was something which made me blush. But as he didn't reply me for 3days i had to text his friend to know and that made another mess. The next day, when i went to college he made fun of me saying i should keep a photo of Aslan so that i can see him all the time. Aslan always had a smile on his face which made me fall for him more.
