Chapter 4

"Now that guy won't leave you alone."

I couldn't understand if my friends were trying to counsel me or creating fear in me. Well there was a valid reason for them saying that. The guy was a bully and had a track record of beating people up. He also had the strength to back it up. So I was trying to calm myself down thinking what happened had happened. The future will say what might happen. I was scared but was trying my best to not show the fear in my face. Maybe my luck was good, the guy didn't seek me for revenge and the event ended just as that.

My school that day was spend in a mixture of happiness and fear. The final bell rang and everyone started rushing to the gate to go home. I felt someone saying something to me. "Thank you." It was the first thing she said to me. I was happy listening to her saying it, but I didn't know what to reply, how to reply. I wasted a good chance to talk to her with just replying her with a smile. Damn me. Maybe this is called throwing an axe on your own leg. Anyway, it was just the start. In the later days, we started having small talks.

That day was just the start. Slowly the time we talked started growing. Time passed on and we kept growing closer. Sitting in the same bench, talking with each other rather than listening to the boring class, playing tricks on each other. Every time her hand was in mine, I felt like I was in cloud 9, felt like my heart was beating faster and my blood pressure increasing. It was as if every cell in my body was calling out to her. Not seeing her for just a moment made me feel sad, not being able to talk to her made my world grey.

It was as if she was the reason I'm living, she was my emotional meter. I was happy when she was happy and sad when she was sad. She was my happiness, a beautiful song of my life, my breath, my heart, my past, my present, my future, my God. She was my painkiller. She was my everything. She was the one I searched for.

I was hoping the time would pass in just that way. But the days didn't remain the same. When we reached class 7, our classroom became different. We were separated. Not like we were together in the first place but why was there a pain in my heart since it was just separation of classroom? Why doesn't my wish come true? Why does the heart have to go through sadness after getting just a bit of happiness? Not only humans but also Gods and destiny toys with our feelings. But was she feeling what I'm feeling?
