Stupidity in love

CHAPTER 3

ONE DAY, I SAW HER READING A BOOK ON HER BALCONY. HER BALCONY WAS VISIBLE FROM OUR TERRACE, BUT THERE WAS A LANE IN-BETWEEN. BUT STILL, I WAS HAPPY WITH IT.

SINCE THEN I HAVE FREQUENTLY GONE ON THE TERRACE BY SOME UNUSUAL WORK.

SOMETIMES I PRETEND TO TALK ON THE PHONE OR MAY HAVE A LOOK TOWARDS THE NEWSPAPER OR AS LIKE HER READ A BOOK OR MAYBE JUST LINGERING AROUND.

SOMETIMES I THOUGHT,‘ WHAT ARE YOU DOING ADRIAN?’ I DID THESE  STUPID THINGS JUST TO GET HER INTO MY EYES. MY VACATIONS PASSED BY ABOUT DREAMING OF HER. BUT MEANWHILE, I DIDN’T GATHER THAT MUCH OF COURAGE TO SHARE MY FEELINGS WITH HER.

I GOT ADMISSION TO A CONVENT JUNIOR COLLEGE. LATER ON LEONA ONCE IN A BLUE MOON APPEARED ON THE BALCONY. AND GRADUALLY SHE STOPPED IT.

I WAS A BIT DISAPPOINTED; MY DESTINY HELPED ME AGAIN. SHE GOT HER ADMISSION TO A GIRLS' COLLEGE A BIT NEAR TO MINE.

I THOUGHT THIS IS AN ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET CLOSE TO HER. HER COLLEGE TIMING WAS OF MINE.

BUT I MISSED ONE MORE CHANCE. SHE MADE A GROUP AND WAS TRAVELLING WITH THEM. SO THERE WAS NO HOPE TO TALK TO HER.

BUT I DIDN’T STEP BACK AND FOLLOW HER TILL I REACH HOME JUST TO NOT MAKE HER WORRY THAT I WAS STALKING HER FOR A BIT LONG TIME. SOMETIMES HER GROUP WAS BEHIND ME AND SOMETIMES OPPOSITE OF THAT.

TO CONCENTRATE ON MY STUDIES I JOINED A LIBRARY SO THAT THOUGH BEING IN LOVE I WON’T AFFECT MY STUDIES. BUT WHAT A COINCIDENCE! SHE STARTED TO VISIT THE SAME LIBRARY AND EVENTUALLY JOINED IT. WHAT SHOULD I CONCLUDE NOW AT THIS MOMENT?

I THOUGHT; ‘IS SHE….? NO. NO. NO. NOT POSSIBLE. BUT WHAT IF, “YES?” SHUT UP, ADRIAN. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? FOCUS!’ BUT HOW SHOULD I FOCUS? IF MY WORLD IS IN FRONT OF ME.

MANY TIMES WHILE GOING ON MY WAY BACK TO MY HOME, I OBSERVE SOME GUYS OR GIRLS SHARING THEIR THOUGHTS. THEIR FRIENDS ENCOURAGE THEM TO OPEN UP THEMSELVES IN FRONT OF THEIR CRUSH.

I ONCE FELT SAD ABOUT THAT IN MY CASE. I DON’T HAVE ANY FRIENDS TO GUIDE OR EVEN ENCOURAGE ME. I WAS INDEED A SHY PERSON WITH LOW CONFIDENCE AND IN THE CASE OF GIRLS MY TONGUE ALWAYS TWIST AND MY WORDS JUMBLED.

BUT NOW, I THOUGHT OF MAKING FRIENDS THAT WILL STAY WITH ME TILL MY FUNERAL. JUST IN CASE I DIDN’T GET LEONA, I CAN GET MY FRIENDS' SUPPORT AND CAN ENJOY MY FURTHER LIFE WITH THEM.

MY DAD WAS A GOOD PERSON. HE WAS A GOOD HUSBAND, A GREAT FATHER AND AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND. HIS FRIENDSHIP WAS SO STRONG THAT EVEN THEY SUPPORTED US AFTER HIS DEATH IN ALL WAYS, FINANCIALLY, MENTALLY, ETC.

I DIDN’T MEET SUCH FRIENDS. THOSE WHO I MET BEFORE WERE JUST SEEKING A CHANCE TO MAKE FUN OF ME AND INSULT ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE OR EVEN TRY TO MAKE ME ANGRY SO THAT I CAN HURT THEM CAN SATISFY THEIR EVIL WISHES. SO BETTER TO STAY AWAY FROM SUCH GUYS.
