The next day I went to my college to deposit the fee and to complete other formalities of admission with my dad.
And that was the day I saw her it was 17th August 2007, she was there at the fee counter with her dad, I didn’t knew her, I saw her for the first time, but why was I feeling like I have been knowing her since years, may be she noticed me, but I feel she hasn’t. Her dad saw me starring at her daughter I took my eyes away from her, she completed her admission formalities next was my turn, my name was called at the admission window, I stood up with my dad and started moving towards the counter she turned back completely she took her first foot forward towards me, I moved forward I was looking at her she wasn’t, she didn’t notice me, she was in front of me, my heart missed a beat, she moved out of the room and I went to the counter, the receptionist asked for my fee and I thereafter completed all the formalities.
“Congratulations Mr Sihag, now your son is the part of most prestigious college of Rajasthan.” the lady receptionist said as I was still thinking about her.
“Thank you. When are the classes going to start.” my dad asked.
“From 30th August.”
‘SHIT‼ I have to wait for 13 more days to see her again’ I thought.
“What about route of college bus?” my dad enquired again.
She thereafter asked about my location and assigned me my bus stop and told me the timing of bus.
“Thank you” my dad said as we were over with the registration work.
I was back at my home but was thinking about her, all my friends moved out of state for their higher studies, KD also took admission in his college. Somehow the days passed, and finally the day came. I woke up early morning and went to college. I was praying for just one thing from god; to get us both in one branch.
My bus reached college and I went to my class. And you know what? Almighty listened to me. Yes‼ We were in the same branch, I saw my angel sitting alone in the class on the second bench wearing an off shoulder purple top and blue denim jeans and long ear rings.
She looked at me, may be for the first time or may be she might have noticed me at the time of registration, but I felt like I knew her since years. I was continuously thinking about her since last 312 hours.
“Is it Information Technology class” I asked.
“Yes” was all she replied and took her eyes away from me.
‘Why the hell these beautiful girls have so much of attitude in them?’ I thought and looked at the empty benches to find a suitable place to sit. I quickly glanced through the room and decided to sit on the second bench of the middle row in the corner most chair. Yes; she was sitting just adjacent to me. I glanced through the corner of my eye; she was looking in front, her silky tresses came across her face she raised her hand and tucked them at the back of her ear, her face was clearly visible to me.
Suddenly another classmate of mine came, I looked at him, he looked at her, he smiled at her, my eyeballs again moved at my left, but she didn’t showed any response.
I felt happy because of the response which she gave to him. That day I came to know one thing about human nature, a person become sad if he is not able to achieve something but the same person become happier if someone else is also not able to achieve the same.
Soon, our class was almost full with its capacity as most of the guys had come to experience the first day of college. Two other guys were also sitting on my bench Anurag and Asheesh. First lecture of communication technique ended and I came to know her name.
