E 4 Crush part 2

Her gaze was extremely intense that made my heart beat faster than normal. I didn’t take off my eyes from her. She pulled down her scarf to drink tea. She took one sip and immediately smile appeared on her face. God! She was beautiful. I looked at her while having tea. Her father observed me and gave me an irksome look. I turned my gaze. They finished tea and stood up for leaving. She pulled up the scarf and looked one last time. It was piercing through my heart. I wanted to follow her but I couldn’t as her father was aside her. The sad thing is I have forgotten her face as it has been almost 9 years since that incident happened.”

“How come you forget those girl’s I mean your crush’s faces?” Rishitha stopped him in between.

“Come on, Rishitha. When you see a person’s face regularly, you will remember his face. But if you see a face one time in life and never seen thereafter, you will eventually forget his face even you admired him a lot for that temporary moment” Ajay was feeling proud of his wisdom.

“Yeah. Right. Go on” Rishitha was back to interesting mode.

“During my 3rd year of engineering, an inter-college stage play competition had been organised in my college. Many colleges had participated in that event. All performances were average except one performed by Vikas institute of Technologies. It was a love story between a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl. Stage play was about how they met, how the fell in love, how their parents became villains in their story, what happened at the end. A big screen and so many TVs were fixed for showing what was happening on stage. There I saw one Muslim girl. That girl stole the show with her eye expressions, her dialogues and her chemistry in the bond. The girl would die in the end and her performance was top-notch, made so many people shed tears including mine. This time I followed her after the play was over. They were taking selfies in front of me facing other side. I wanted to walk past them and look her face, but my friend came and took me inside as his performance was about to start.

Her eye expressions haunted me for some days. I felt that magic feeling when I saw her eyes. I had waited outside of Vikas institute of Technology in the desperate of finding her, but no avail. After some days, I stopped searching for her”

“The fourth one is you”

Rishitha had been listening interestingly with full attention until the last sentence. She was in a disbelief. “What?” she blurted out, puzzled.

“Yes. The fourth one is you, Rishitha. I came to TCS to attend an interview. There I saw you, looking fully confident, wearing sky blue salwar kameez. You sat opposite to me. My gaze was fixed at you. There were so many girls over there, but, still my eyes were looking at you only."
