"Here I am, narrating an incident quite old and pure,those moments in my mind, still as clear as a midsummer azure.
No, I'm not lonely, your memories won't let me feel alone,those times I'll always cherish, even if you're gone."

By now all I
knew was she’s a nice,cute girl like many other charming girls out there at
school. I was in section A and she was
in section B. the only time I got to see her then was at lunch break, with a bunch of her friends. those girls
were cute too, but not as much as her. :)

I was not
even an average guy. I used to be in the
list of “Slow learners”, as a result of which I didn't interact with much
people. It was just
another day, we were in the 5th period just before lunch (at K.V we used to have 9 periods). I was eagerly waiting for lunch
break, I had developed this habit of
watching her daily at lunch time but
before that I had a boring English Lecture on my way.
Arrives madam Munjal (English Teacher)
"Children, today
I am merging the two sections A and B because some of the section B children are going to give speeches based on some topics
which will be useful for you from exam's point of view. So let's move to section
B", she said
the very next
thought on my mind : "So I am going to see her". I had never been excited for an English class before, that was
when I realized How Powerful a charming
girl can be.
In next two
minutes or so we were in Section B. as I entered the class my eyes were
searching for that girl among-st those familiar faces but she wasn't there.
Is she absent today?, I asked Myself, Oh god why! (Disappointed)
:(, why only today was she meant to be absent. I want to see her, I prayed.

Children, sit
in a bunch of four on every bench and settle as soon as you can. Lets not waste any more time, madam said.
Soon we settled, I managed to find a seat in
front row.
“ May I come
in Ma’am? “, I heard a sweet voice, yes
It was her standing on the gate and my disappointment changed into Happiness, I smiled :). just in a moment, it felt
like I got my life back, I thanked God.
"Come In Drishti", said madam Munjal. that was
when I heard her name for the first time, before that all I knew was she’s a
cute girl from section B, that
statement reverberated in my mind,
“ Come In Drishti ” .
For me that
was the most beautiful name I had ever heard.
So lets begin
the session, "Who’s going to speak First?", ma’am asked
"Me". said mayank, and he stood facing the class to speak. though he was standing right in front of me, I wasn't even listening to him (I don’t even remember what topic he was speaking on ), all I could hear was
"Me". said mayank, and he stood facing the class to speak. though he was standing right in front of me, I wasn't even listening to him (I don’t even remember what topic he was speaking on ), all I could hear was
”Come In Drishti”. that name got stuck in my head.
After a few
minutes,
"Who is the second reader?", she asked.
"Me", I heard a Sweet Voice, yes it was her :) , I had never heard her voice much before So I was
happy as well as excited.
She went
ahead and started her speech facing us, for the first time I felt it was
beneficial to sit in the front rows of the class.
She started,
Dear friends
today I am going to speak on the topic “ Each One teach One” .
That voice
was magical. I had never heard a Voice as
sweet as hers, Time seemed to pause. What I felt then was something I never
felt before. I was continuously watching her, My heart skipped a beat, I could hear my
heartbeat, it was real fast. I could feel an effortless and uncontrollable smile
on my face, I didn't even want to blink
my eyes, I never wanted her speech to end. her lip movements, her golden brown hair, her gestures, that shy smile and her
frequent but short eye contacts with me, made me feel like heaven. I was
completely lost in her. that was the time when I realized What a “Beautiful “ girl meant. (that
feeling was just divine, very difficult to frame in words).
her next eye
contact with me was a bit longer, she too didn't move her eyes away from me for a few seconds, then she gave me a
weird expression (irritated and angry) which woke me up from that dream.
She probably
must be thinking, Is this Guy mad or something, hasn't he seen a girl before?.
She
completed her speech and went to her seat. those five minutes seemed like only
a few seconds. that image of her was eternal.
I realized I have developed a special feeling for her, a part of my heart was reserved for her.
I realized I have developed a special feeling for her, a part of my heart was reserved for her.
I
immediately wanted to compliment her, wanted to tell her how special she is. but I had never
talked to her before. she was a “Bright learner”, I was a “slow learner” (as the list suggested), everyone liked her, I didn't even have much
friends. She had good grades, I was struggling to get promoted. She was good
in CCA's ( co curricular activities), I never participated in any. for me she
was just Perfect. she was an angel in human form, I felt.
Because of
these differences, I felt inferior to her I felt she would never like me this
way, what if she didn't feel the same? I wasn't ready to face this yet and
kept those feelings to myself.
I got motivated
to improve myself to match her level, that was something no one could do in a
few previous years of school what she did in 5 minutes. I realized, Even more powerful a Beautiful girl can be. :)
I was in
love, yes I accepted it. I wanted the time to rewind, I wanted to live those
moments again, that feeling, I wanted it to stay forever. before that day I
always believed Love is Just a feeling for sentimental fools, but now I knew
what that indefinite feeling is. nothing before that made me feel more delighted then those five minutes.
I saw a girl
for the first time in my dream that night. It was a charismatic feeling, as if she was real. every definition of her was visible clearly. her magical smile, her lips, her eyes, her
golden brown hair, everything seemed real. I could even see that beauty
spot she had on her left cheek in my dream which added a charm to her beautiful Smile.Though she didn't say a word in that dream, but
it confirmed I was a victim of “ Karra wala (very strong) love”.
