If not once in a blue moon the day was certainly supposed to b once in a year !! I had decided, to make it big, no more beating around the bush , i had to gather courage - dont know from where, had 2 let my feelings flow,... The time was perfect as it could get.It was the V-day, 14th feb ,the day of love.... I couldn let it go just like that.. had 2 perform dance on chance.. had to tell her that if ever i had gone mad for any1 then that person has to be her.. if ever i had dressed up for anyone then she was the 1.. if ever i waited for hours to just have a 5 second glimpse of anyone then she was the sole one.. and yes,if ever i cried after a fight ,then that fight was with her !! almost one and a half year had gone past of our friendship and i was still like" Wow ,from where this angel came ? " From her long hair,deep eyes,innocent looks,dimpled cheeks,kiddish behaviour,stupid questions,making silly faces- I just loved everything...every molecule of her was so special to me !!
I knew in front of her i was not daring enough to say all this,nor my actions were loud enough.. so i thought to pen down all my thoughts !! as i wanted to give it The best shot , i gathered the best f writers among my friends,explained them the whole situation n demanded for the best possible result.. and with their contribution mixed with my emotions an almost perfect love letter was prepared which had all the feelings n emotions which i always wished to tell her..
But just a letter was not enough for me... had to compliment it with a perfect gift..and gift had to be special,had to be unique... 4 search parties were made in order to find one.. after my rejection lost counts , a momento let a impression on my heart at once..i knew this was it.. A Boy and a Girl holding hands with the caption - " If the world starts all over again, and i m born as Adam, promise me , you will be the Eve ".. finally the preparation was all done well on time.. But the main question was still unanswered .. Who will act as postman ?? who will deliver her my feelings ?? i knew i couldn do it !! the more i thought , more i was assured that there are no other option except one, her best friend... who had helped me always...her best friend had even helped me during the time when she had refused my 1st frienship offer .. this time also she had to help me !! with no mobile n phone communication at that time ( as I was in ,,guess what,,class 10th) i had to take a chance in the morning .. had to catch her on her way to school at any cost.. with all these plans,thoughts,excitement all around,every thought giving me goose bumps ,,sleep was no where to be found on the previous night.. when i got completly lost in all this and went in my dreams i dont remember...But as a result..the next morning......
I got up late compared to my planned time..and then had to rush with all the things..time appeared to pass by so fast as never by.. minutes were tickling by and my heartbeat were raising with the fear that what if i am not able to catch her.. the ultimate frustration came when i was not able to find my purse which had all my savings of previous month and were a vital part of my plans( i had planned to take her to baskin robbins.which till then v had only seen from outside,and as she loved ice cream this act was special for her).. So i asked my mother to find it..while she was looking around for it she came to get a hand on my science answersheet of my exams.. and as obvious i had not got the passing marks and this was the reason for hiding it.. that was the 1st n last time in my life i came across such serious humour.. i smiled at my mom and said please mom we will discuss this afterwards,plz sign the answer sheet and look for purse..she accepted the request, but purse was no where to be found... certainly a Bad beginning to the day!! It was getting late with every minute.. Mom gave me 50rs and i started the run towards the most exciting n memorable moments of my life..
I couldn afford to barely walk towards my destination.. so i guess the spirit of michael johnson came 2 help me and i started running as fast as i could...probability of catching her up was very less...with all those fears n anxiety i was just running...Things were not to be as planned.. On my way i got the biggest surprise of my life.. her best friend was waiting for me on the way..and a thousand WHY's struck my mind in blink of an eye..with a huge sigh of relief on seeing her i approached her and asked her"How come here,at this time ? " she smiled, opened her bag , took out a packet and said she has given this..its for u.. i decided to hold back my packet with a little fear in the corner that what the packet may turn out to be...
As suddenly,something out of the context had happened i didn knew how to react... i just said a simple thank u with blank eyes.. i was already late,so the next run was towards my school.. even the spirit coudn save me from getting late and had 2 b in the que of late commers... i was dying to open the packet,was thrilled to the core but before that had to face punishment for coming late..full 4 rounds of the ground which i always felt so proud of.. for the first time in years i was questioning the size of the ground...these physical training instructor never understand feelings !! but spirit was there to help me.. and then without any energy break downs i completed all the rounds and rushed towards the class..it was the perfect place as it could get to see what the parcel contained..as i entered the class ,, what bloody hell ,, teacher was already in..n to add to it back rows were already full..no chance sitting in the front row and even having a glimpse at the packet !! for the first time in my life i found mathematics boring n disinteresting ..and as i was dying out of excitement i told my partner about it and the chain began.. it seemed to be a very big news for anyone to digest..but to add to the suspense free time was hard to come by...teachers were all on time until it was Lunch time..till then the news had spread like fire in the jungle n i had wished a zillion times for a good outcome.. the packet was taken from me against my wish and i was made to sit like a king and my workers doing all the work..packet was opened as carefully as it could get and out came two things- a letter and a small box..my wished was asked for,what i wanted to see first..i said the letter..as one of them started reading it ,as a leaders address to the nation, started the most beautiful description of feelings i ever came accross..With every line i was becoming happy as never before. . it was a love letter,she had written it for me..and the lines that struck me the most were " My biggest reality is you , , will you be my reality forever ?? " ... then the gift was opened and it was a momento which read "my my love has got a name and it's you "....i just couldn stop smiling,whole class had got lost in the celebration,everyone was coming n congratulating me,demands for a party had already begun and there was a question on everyone's mind including me- what will i do now ? the planned script had turned upside down..what next i was supposed to do,how i was supposed to act..i just had no clues,no answers !! she had asked me to meet her as the school got over.. every minute got so hard to pass by..class seemed like a jail..but reason to smile was so big that i beared all this with utmost ease..and as the final bell rang i was on my toes again... i started the run towards her without any idea as to what i wil say,how will i face her n what if she has questions ??
As i was getting close to her,my heart beats were getting faster and loud as never before...The moment we saw each other our smiles turned into blushes,love in her eyes was as never before and she could hardly manage to look into my eyes.. i had also almost no idea as to what should i say , what should i ask ?? i was just looking at her just blushing,smiling and shying away from me.. the first question i asked her was " since when ??" to which she fired her's " what's ur reply".. i said " what do you think ??".. she said " if i would have known the answer i never would have asked ?? "... then came the most courageous moment of my life..I said " Yes i do.. i love u since i have known u..i love u for what i'm when i m with you and most importantly i love you for what you have been to me ".. then her eyes spoke it all.. she said "thanks for being with me in hardest of times,thanks for bearing all the pains for me,thanks just for being there always " i felt like the most lucky man in the whole galaxy...
But the dream of taking her to Baskin Robbins was not 2 b completed that day..as had only 50rs in the wallet.. but still i asked -ice cream..to which she highly obliged..and then became a journey that became " A WALK TO REMEMBER...FOREVER"
