Love Nowhere (5)

       After sending that message to her, I was thinking what did I do? My heartbeat was going high. I hugged to Pratik, he gave me smile and said, "Calm down! Whatever will happen, will be in your favour only."

     Half an hour had been passed, but I didn't get any reply from her. I was going back to home from the party. I was in a bus. Suddenly my phone beeped and my Nokia phone screen was showing the name, Vina Arya.

       I showed it to Pratik.

 "So? open it.", Pratik said, he was over relaxed.

 "Hmm".

      Arun had already slept in the bus. I slowly opened the message with my vibrating fingers, what she replied,

 "Gourav, I know you. Arohi told me about you. But I never thought about you like this. We can be friends. :)"

       It was a 'Something is better than nothing' moment. And I was happy that she wants to friendship with me. I didn't late.

 I replied, "Thank you Vina. We are friends now. But again I want to say that you look extremely beautiful when you smile. :)"

  I received her reply within 10 seconds, "Thank you. Meet you in college. Good night. :)"

 "Yeah. Good night. Take care. :)", I replied.

      This was a short and sweet starting of my complex going love story. By the way, a love story starts when love takes birth. Here, It was one sided. So, it was a beautiful starting of a love story with a friendship.

     Life at home is very easy. When you visit outside home, you face the real world challenges where everyone is trying to do better than some other. Life is a race. haha :p

      Soon, I went back to my race, to my college. But now I had participated in a different scenario of race too, which was my love life. 

Love Nowhere (4)

        I saw Vina on bus-stop and whatever I felt that time became one of the best moment of my life and I can't forget it ever.

      It happens that when you search for something with acuity, it takes so much time and when you get the thing, it becomes easily available everywhere. Same case was with the Vina also. After that incident, I saw her many times in college BY FRONT but never dared to initiate a talk.

       I was a fan of her smile. Every time, every moment, I thought about her smile only. She looked like a child that smiles without any reason, sweet and little. Little? No !!! She could never be described as little anyhow, No way. But I can still use the word 'little' for her. She was a little fatty. But I never felt it because Whenever she was in front of me, I could see her smile only. I knew that she is a little fatty because people said this. 

        I went to my home on vacations after completion of our third semester out of total eight of our course. It was month of February.

        We had a marriage party in neibours family near to our village in evening. I went there to attend it with some of my hometown friends. Pratik and Arun were two of my best buddies in my hometown. We were wandering outside the marriage party just after the dinner. And suddenly,

 "Gourav, do you know what is special today?", Pratik said.

 "Yes, we ate two extra Pan because they were free of cost in party.", I said.

      Arun laughed uncontrollably on my innocence answer. And Pratik were staring at me. He wanted to say something, but he ignored me.

 "Today is 8th February. The propose day.", Pratik said with shocking type expressions. I was thinking what happened to him.

   He continued, "We should propose a girl we like today. What say guys?"

 "Yes, we should do it. I like a girl so much in my college. And I'm going to propose her today.", Arun said and took off her smartphone from his pocket and went away from us.

       Now we two were left there. Pratik knew that I like a girl in my college named Vina. He insisted me to call her and propose her.

 "But I don't have her contact number dude!", I said.

 "Ask to some other friend of her. She must have her number", he said.

       And my mind runs very fast in some situations like this. I thought about Arohi. Yes, she can give me her number.

         I called to Arohi.

 "Hi, Arohi."

 "Hello, Gourav! How are you?"

 "I'm absolutely fine dear. Do you have her contact number?"

        I was in hurry. Even I neither asked back to her that "How are you?" nor Vina's name in asking her number.

 "Her number? Who?"

 "Vina's contact number.", Little shied.

 "Why do you want her number?"

 "I have a work from her. Give me fast please."

 "Okie. wait. I'm messenging you her number."

 "Okay. Bye. Thanks. Good night."

        Within 2 minutes I got her message with Vina's number. I also didn't wait and typed a message for her.

 "Hey Vina. I'm Gourav from CS-1 in our college. Today is propose day. And on this day, I want to say something to you. I really like you so much. When you smile, you look the best."

       And without any other thought that could stop me in sending this message, Pratik pressed the SEND button. Message had been delivered.

        Arohi was a best friend of Vina and she was from my section, CS-1. And so, a good friend of mine too. She was a link between me and her, one and only link because I had no more contacts in CS-2 excepting my hostel buddies. 

       So, what we were talking about is that how I got the chance to see her face by front. Actually this time, Narendra didn't help me, but actually I did help of myself, which actually works in most of the cases.

    I already knew that Arohi and Vina are best friends or good friends, whatever. So, one day, I dialed Arohi mobile no. and called her just after the college, when all classmates were going to bus stop in their respective buses, expecting that Vina should be with her.

 "Hey, Arohi !"

 "Yes, Gourav, What happened?"

 "I want your notebook of our today's last lecture."

 "I'm going to bus-stop right now, come there and take it."

       I wanted to say "yes, Arohi, I know you're going to bus-stop, what matters for me, is Vina with you or not?" but I said,

 "Ohkay, I'm coming, Thank you :)".

     As I was from hostel, which was inside the college campus, running for buses to get the best seat after college time was not my headache.

      But this time I was looking like other day-scholars, as I was also doing the same, just with a different reason.

     Soon I reached the bus-stop. I was searching for Arohi, where Vina was in my mind. I knew that She must be near the same bus that go to Mahavanda, the place where Arohi lives.

     Suddenly I saw her, she stood near the Mahavanda bus with a girl in blue suit, I assumed that she is Vina and no other. I reached her. She had already taken off his notebook from his bag for me. 

 "Thank you Arohi. So you are going home. :) :)" 

     I didn't know what to say, because I was talking with Arohi and watching that blue girl. She was none other than Vina. Ahh !! She was looking fabulous in her blue suit. You remember, fully blue, no design. What was the most beautiful in her was her smile. She was smiling but not at me and me fool realized it later. She always has a fresh smiling face and I thought that was for me.

       I was still staring at her. And Arohi broke my concentration,

 "Hey, what did you say? Where could we go via college bus rather than home?"

 "hmm, ohh, yaaa, go, go, take care. meet you tomorrow." 

       And ran away from the place. Her smiling face was covering my mind. I thought How would I sleep today? :/

        Vina was one of the girl from all those girls liked by Narendra. So, whatever you are thinking is absolutely right that she was a choice of Narendra at first, not me.

        She was from CS-2, the another section of my branch, Computer Science. And Narendra was from the same section. I was from CS-1. When first time Narendra did talk about her to me, I thought about her that okay, I will see her, choice of Narendra can't be bad. 

        After more than one week of this talk, we were going to college, our MIT. I remember, it was lunch time and we went to hostel to have lunch. After having lunch, we were going back to college and suddenly,

 "hey, see you all, Vina is going there!", Narendra said.

 "Where?", I said curiously.

        And he pointed his finger towards her. I saw her, but she was going and not coming. I saw her from back. I remember, she was in pink suit at that time, which soon became my favourite suit for her.

       Next day, again Narendra told me that see, she is there. But  she was on some distance and I was just able to see her side face. She was in a blue suit, a no design fully blue suit, same as pink one. I thought she must be a silent and decent girl after analyzing her outfits. But that day also, I didn't see her face, a full, clear and clean image, that could run in my mind. 

       It was one more week after that incident. I never saw her during this week because it was Narendra only that could introduce me with her and he was from another section, So it was hard to meet him when Vina is also present. Here introduction means, he will point to her and I will see her, that's it.

       During this week, many times he talked about her to me and I thought about her that I have to see her. 

       My curiosity to see her was increasing day by day because of such incidents like she is in front of me, but I was not able to see her face. Sometimes side face, sometimes backside. Whatever going on was just out of my mind. But one day, I became successful, and it had to happen.

Love Nowhere (1)

           I got admission in a reputed college of my region. The city was Ujjain, city of Mahakaleshwer, city of temples, less traffic, less crime, polite and humble people, although less modern and developed. As I was new in the city, my father chose college campus hostel as the best option for me to live and study. We were two in a room and my roommate was from my village, so it was a good news for me to handle in such a strange environment. This was the first time, I left my home and went to some other city to study. 

        At the very first day of my college, first lecture was of Language Lab. My english was so poor, that I didn't understand most of the lecture of whatever they said.

         I was from Computer Science branch. There were total 120 students, both boys and girls, in Computer Science with two sections of 60-60 each. We were total 7 students in our hostel from computer science. From those 7, Nitesh and Narendra soon became my best buddies.

       Nitesh was also from the village near to my village. We were total three, me, Nitesh and my roomie from the same or near to village area. Narendra was from Morena, and as people say here Morena peoples gets angry very early. Narendra was no different. 

        Time was going on, I was knowing my college, which was really confusing at first, my classmates, my hostelers more and more.

        Young boys checked out many girls all around the college, but I was very shy type of guy. In my school time, I never talked with any girl in my class until there is a urgent need to do so. 

         Narendra had crush on many girls in college and he always shared the thing in our group too. They were Shria, Neha, Vina, Kalpana and many others, I don't remember. What I remember, is the one name, Vina.
