My Love Story

I was a person who was totally against a relationship. But all of a sudden something happened to me….

It all started in the year 2010….I know him as my college senior….I have met him during the Orphanage visits which we students organize in college (he was in his pre-final yr, I in second yr)…. The very first time I met him kindled my feelings… Is this called “Love at first sight”????... After that day, almost for a year we never talked with each other nor texted (Both of us didn’t share our contacts even in FB)…But whenever we crossed each other in college we exchanged our Hi’s and Bye’s with a smile . All his friends were my friends in FB but he was not…

Then on the 4th week of Jan 2011, I saw his name and his profile picture on the ‘People You May Know’ column in FB… I clicked on ‘Add Friend’ :p…. Immediately my request was accepted and his chat message saying “Hi…” popped out...I also replied “hi...”. Then we had a normal and a formal conversation that would happen between a junior and a senior… The very next day he asked for my contact number in FB... I usually hesitate to share my number on FB that too with guys... But I dunno why, my fingers started typing my number and before even I could realize it, it pressed ENTER… I never regretted for it thou… Immediately after that I got a message in my mobile saying “This is XXX”… We stopped chatting in FB and our conversation continued on mobile….Fortunately I had to cross his bus stop while going to college… As soon as I get into the bus I will text him and he makes sure that he meets me and follows my bus in his bike… I will tell him the exact place where am seated and he tries and drives to make sure that am not going out of his sight…  We used to text daily and I dunno what we had to talk or text. May be those were the sweet nothings that brought us close to each other. This continued for two weeks and the most awaited college cultural came up… All were in festive mood… We both started talking in college whenever possible… We both had few common friends and hence it was not a big deal for us to talk without any hesitation or fear…. We had a 2-day college fest… and on the first day it got late for the programs to get over… and unfortunately (actually fortunately…!!!!!) all my friends who used to accompany me left early and I was alone at 10pm in the night… As he had a dance rehearsal for his program on the next day, he was in a dance school. As soon as I got into the bus I texted him and he replied back… he asked about my whereabouts and I told him. He asked me if anyone was there with me. I said “No, am going alone and my dad will pick me up from my bus stop”… And he replied, “This is the last time you will be going alone…. Reach home safely and text me”. I felt something fishy :P. I smiled and replied “Okie..”. Then I reached home I texted him.. I waited for him till he finished his practice and reached home, just to say GOODNIGHT… Then came the second day of culturals… I was roaming with my friends and he was busy with his programs... Then the long awaited program of this guy came up in the evening… My eyes didn’t take any other sight other than him… I tried hard to keep my eyes on him being seated at the last few rows and people dancing in front of us… As soon as he finished his dance he came down and stood behind the place where both of our friends were sitting…. His friends already having known that something is happening between us, called him and offered him a place near them. And this time I could see him without any difficulty. Our eyes conveyed the things that are to be conveyed. Then at the end of the day, I met him at our college entrance and just like that was talking for few minutes. After that he made sure that I got into the bus and he followed my bus in his bike till my stop and he went back. As he was tired I didn’t disturb him much and we both slept early that night.

The next day he had some competitive exam in the afternoon. He told me his dad was not happy with his preparations and he wanted to revise few things in the morning. I told him to concentrate and study and text me after he finished his exam. In the noon I texted him, wishing him all the best and I slept off. Evening when I woke up I expected a message from his mobile but there was none. I texted him and waited for his reply for sometime. No reply again. I called him from my dad’s mobile (That was our first telephonic conversation), as you all would know, during college days we hardly have balance in our mobiles :p. When he picked up, I heard some noise and I found that his friends were around and I got a bit irritated cos I have been expecting his message for a long time. I started shouting at him even before he could say anything. I shouted for more than two mins (It was too much for the first call even though he gets a multiple amounts of it nowadays :p). After I finished, he started in low voice, ”You know what happened? I met with a small accident. (before I could say something) Nothing happened to me, am fine. My bike got damaged. I have left it in a mechanic shop and waiting in my friend’s house. I will reach home and text you.” . I was dumbstruck and I said “Ok. Come safely” and kept the call. I dunno why, but I started crying. I waited for his call or message and I couldn’t do anything from here. As soon as he reached home he texted me. I asked if everything was fine and asked his pardon for shouting. He said that it was fine and we then had some normal conversations. The next day was ‘February 14’. That day he came to college little late than the normal timings and I met him during the first break hour and asked if he was fine. I saw him limping when he was walking. I asked if it was paining and he said it was fine and there was a slight swelling in his knee. I told him not to walk or strain too much and take rest. And at the end of the day we both bid bye to each other and we left to our homes. As soon as I reached home I switched on my system and logged into FB. Usually, I will sign in only in the late evening. But that day it was too early to be on FB. (I know he would log in as soon he reaches home). Before he said anything, I started saying “Hi...” and obviously, I got a reply. We started the conversation in a normal way and it went on. He asked me if I had got any proposals on that day. I denied and I bounced back that question to him again. My heart was praying sincerely to get a NOO from him and God saved me . Then I was pulling his leg with few girls in college. At that time, I got a forward in my mobile from my friend. The forward was “I would like to accept you as my ____. “. And the options were ”a. boyfriend. b.girlfriend, c. close friend, d. brother/sister, e. lover ,etc etc and the last one was Life Partner”. My heart was instructing me to forward that message only to him and I sincerely obeyed it. (Our chat on FB was continuing). For the first time I didn’t get any reply. I forwarded it the second time. This time, I got a reply on chat asking “What should I reply”.

I said “Whatever u feel like”.

He said “Whatever??”.

I said “Yeah... “.

He said “U won’t mistake me uh??”.

I said “I won’t… and u know about me very well.”

He said “Okay.. for example, if I say Life Partner.. what would u say” (The most cleverest way of proposing a girl!!)(I appreciated him at heart as he didn’t choose girlfriend/lover :p)

I said “ See, no this example and all..say it frankly whatever it may be..”

He said “yes..I want you to be my life partner”

… My heart was craving for that only!!!. But still I didn’t accept it immediately. I asked him to text me and I went to bed with my mobile, just to make sure that no one sees me blushing . I got a message from him saying ”What do you say? Sorry if I had hurt you…I thought of saying it in college itself but something was stopping me from telling you. But now I couldn’t resist myself from telling this to you. I need you .I love you . Whatever is your decision I will abide by that”. I said “See, you are not just a friend for me. You are someone more than that. I frankly say, I can’t accept you as a brother as my classmates do. But choosing you as my life partner in such a short span of time is making me think about it….. but I agree I like you. I dunno whether it’s love or not”. Then he took a step back and said “Its ok, don’t confuse yourself. If you are confident about it, please let me know. If not we will try to be as friends”. That moment shook my heart and I wanted to hold a grip of him. I said “No, am confident of it. But worried about our parents and castes”. He said “I will take care of everything and you just be with me. To be happy, to have a life beyond this, I need you . I love you”. It was time for dinner and we both had to pause our chat and went to have our dinner. I didn’t feel like eating. I filled my stomach and sat with my mob again. Unfortunately, I got a call from some a person and I had to listen to his stupid talks and scoldings because of someone else. If it was before I would told about that to any of my friends first. But this time without hesitating I called him and started crying and explained him about the previous call. He convinced me. Supported me. I felt secured with his talks and I felt a sigh of relief. He understood my situation and didn’t talk a word about our pre-dinner chat. Then we both slept. In the next day morning, as soon as I woke up I took my mob and said those 3 words which would have been expected by my guy for the past 6 hours. I found this guy very caring and adjustable. He knows very well to manage me as I am uncontrollable. He never restricts me from doing anything. He always held me in his hands and takes care of me like a kid. He supports me in everything I do. He corrects me if I do anything wrong and he makes sure that nothing affects me because of it. He says that am his lucky charm as he got his job after I came into his life :p. (Applause!!). He hardly gets annoyed with my silly questions and actions. But I take up the charge of everything :P. I accept that I will make him bang his head like anything at times and even then he makes sure that nothing takes more than an hour to bring us back together. And so many other things about him for which I really don’t have the patience to write. I will continue this write up as soon as we both get married.

Thanks for reading
