CHAPTER 1 :The first meet

The wind blowed straight on my face awakening me from my frozen state.

It was my first time ever to visit a psychology conference where I could present my views amongst so many famous psychologists and make a name for myself.

First of all I would like to introduce myself,

jeanu, a cute young lady living in US ,pursuing masters in psychology ,making her way to achieve her dreams of being the best and one of the many renowned psychologists ever known in history.

And there I was, attending my first psychology conference, taking in all the breath I could, I entered the lounge,and went straight ahead to the hall where I will be presenting my research paper. I was so nervous that it could be seen clearly on my face. The moment I entered the hall, I saw so many faces staring at me, some of them greeted me , while some were busy discussing something with each other. Walking past them, I found an empty seat, the only empty seat I could find at that day, I immediately seated myself there.

Feeling comfortable, I reviewed my paper 50th time to make sure that it's perfect. Anxiety was all over my face and only then I felt someone gazing at me. I turned to the person sitting beside me, only to notice a handsome young man with blonde hair and quite a good physique to be giggling at me.

"EXCUSE ME?" I shrieked , "may I ask you why are you giggling like that while looking at me", I felt inappropriate obviously for some reasons. His gaze shifting to my eyes, replied " well, my lady love, seeing you anxious and freaked out I might have guessed that it's your first time here and looking at you I just remembered my first ever conference right in this hall , just like you even I was freaked out, but when I went up there on the stage I remembered the reason why I joined psychology, how I specifically chose my first research topic to be what I am interested in and not what others are interested in, and from then on I understood that if you want to follow your passion you have keep doing what you always wanted to from the start and not about what others think. Also, if you want to impress these people you have to impress yourself first. So remember my words, you just need to present your research paper in a way that you like it, only then will you be able to impress others too."

He said all of this so calmly that my anxiety almost ended. By giving him a smile and a thank you gesture I turned away , patiently waiting for my turn to present.

The conference started, and I listened to all of the psychologists viewpoints carefully, one after another, they came and go. Finally it was my turn, I involuntarily turned to him before leaving for the stage. I couldn't figure it out why I did that but still brushing off my thoughts at once and keeping his words in my mind, I did exactly what he said.

I presented my paper with utter confidence and to my surprise, I heard lots of applauds at the end of my speech. I got off the stage and people surrounded me by their compliments but my eyes only searched for him, but he already left.

After the conference, a dinner party was scheduled, where every psychologist had a company, but I preferred to stay alone in a corner, and only then I felt a hand on my soldier. Turning around, I saw him, at last. Greeting me with a smile he congratulated me for my wonderful presentation. I thanked him because it was the effect of his motivation that I could actually give such a great speech.

He looked around the hall and asked me if I would like to go with him outside, away from the hustles of the crowd. I was hesitant at first but then who could resist his charm. I followed him outside. He led me to his car, and we went to a lakeside. Walking by the lake, enjoying the cold breeze silently, we were enjoying it. After a while we sat on a bench.

Sitting next to each other, looking at the stars I finally asked him who is he, I found it weird that I am spending a whole evening with a man without even knowing his name.

He chuckled and said, "its strange that you don't even know my name and you are already trusting me so much." Leaning towards me he whispered " don't get too involved with me, otherwise you'll fall for me."

I couldn't help but blush at that very moment, he stared at my eyes for long and then leaned backwards.

Sitting a little more while, he dropped me at my home, without saying anything else.

Later that night, I ate my dinner and went to bed thinking about what he said , and more importantly who is he , why is he so mysterious.

At morning, as a part of my regular schedule I reached my university, attending lectures, following my daily schedule.

Few days passed, I was already past the events of that night, only to find him outside of my university, standing by his car waiting for me.

All of a sudden, adrenaline was rushing inside my body and I couldn't stop myself from approaching him. With a wide smile on my face, I greeted him and asked him why is he here and how does he know that I study in this university. I couldn't stop asking questions out of curiosity and he had no choice but to cover my mouth with his hand and start giggling.

I started mumbling under his hand, just like a child, I couldn't help but wonder why do I always get so comfortable with him when I don't even know this bit about him.

And suddenly we returned to ourselves, still smiling he told me that the first time we met we couldn't get to know each other better and that he would really love to know about me more personally and maybe if I go on a trip with him, he would consider telling me his name.

For a moment, I wondered, that this person literally met me a few days ago and today, during our second meet he actually asked me to go on a trip with him. Did he developed any feelings for me ?

He was waiting for my answer and in a haste, I agreed, not worrying about the consequences.
