53 Crossed Paths

The next day, Sky and I decided to pay our fees. I even told him the time I would reach college.

Little had I known that his dad would be accompanying him. I came alone. Without parents, without friends -hoping to meet him. Together to spend time.

The train was 15 minutes late to my despair. I hurriedly got out of the train. It was already 12:10 p.m.I was walking towards the direction of my college.

But just like when we are about to have our lunch the lunch box gets stolen in a similar way when I was about to enter Sky rode on his dad's bike and went. Throughout the route I was wishing to meet him at least once. I guess Almighty heard and fulfilled my prayers half heartedly and let me see him just a glance while he rode with his dad. He couldn't see me. He went in the opposite direction after all.

I met Alex and Stephen in college. Lacy's dad paid hers so none of her concern. I paid and returned my library books for the semester. I then took out my phone. He sent me a message at 12:08 p. m. that he had paid his fees. Had the train been on time I wouldn't have missed him badly. I met Shelly and Gracy on my way home. I chatted with them for a while.

Then I reached home. The fragile moment really breaks my heart where my longing for him turned down. Back at home I talked with him. He was asking me to solve the sums. I solved it, He solved mine. Late at night too.

Both together were solving sums. Even though it was not easy the explanation was the best. We even cracked jokes at some sums. Easy to difficult hand in hand.

Finally he asked, "Will you be doing sums still now? "

I replied, "Nope I will be sleeping now. I'm really feeling tired. "

He replied, " Great. Good night. Sleep tight. "

His funny remarks added with funny emojis really bring out his naughty character. At the same time it makes me feel that he is really cute.

I replied, " Yeah"

With a smiley laughing emoji. The last two words literally cracked me up. I went off to sleep without second thoughts.

After all, he was the one sending me off to sleep. But the scene where he rode in the opposite direction and my inner voice trying its utmost to shout and yell to bring him back with me heavily burdened my heart.

Because I know for about 15-16 days I won't be able to meet him or even see him during winter break after which the rescheduled exam would be held.

Sigh…
