ch 1 First Crush

I went to pick up my friend Sahid for lunch who spends his whole time in music and his band. Sahid forgets the whole world when he sings. He is the guitarist and lead singer of his band. I like to listen to music, but I'm not as talented as him.

I and Sahid not only friends but also roommate, colleagues. I met him 2 years back in my previous company. Later we both switched to X IT company in Bangalore, India.

He wants to get into X company because they have the best infrastructure and support extra curricular activities such as music, sports, dance….

I usually called him through the phone for lunch. He was not picking up my call. I checked his Cubicle*. He was not there either. I know if he is not in the cubicle definitely he will be with a music band (Cubicle is a separate place for employees to work).

I opened the door of this music room, I heard a pleasant violin music which I had never heard before and a group of people surrounded by that person.

I went through a bunch of people and found a girl wearing a midi skirt ponytailed her hair, holding the violin with the left side of the jaw resting on the chinrest of the violin, and supported by the left shoulder. Her fingertips produce different pitches by stopping and pressing the string against the fingerboard. Her right hand draws the bow over the string by moving forth and back.

She bewitched me by playing violin. I was looking at her without the blink of my eyes. She closes and opens her eyes and moves her entire body like dancing according to rhythms of the music.

People around me clapped their hands after she finished playing. I came to my senses after I heard the clapping sound of people around me. She said "Thank you" to the audience and went over to my friend Sahid. She said with a great smile "How was it ?"

Sahid said with the clap "You are osum there. By the way what was the song you were playing? Is the music created by you?"

She raked her fingers through her hair and replied "Violin music from hello movie"

I went beside the girl and called Sahid. "Dude, it's lunch time". She turned to me. When I saw her close enough she was not only talented in music but also very beautiful.

Sahid introduced her to me "Hey, this is Aarohi from Tamil Nadu and he is" She looked at me with surprise by lifting her eyebrows and widening her eyes and her face reddened. Is she blushing? before he started introducing me. She said slowly with stammering "Piyu... Piyush Mittal"

How did she know my name? Did Sahid tell her about me? Why did he say anything about me? I asked her with confusion " Do I know you?"

Aarohi replied "Maybe but I know you"

Did she mean I have seen her before but not remember her. I said "I am sorry I don't..."

She interrupted and said "You are my super senior in my college."

Super senior which means she is my Junior. How did I don't remember her in college? I asked her "Did you studied in KSR college?"

She replied "Yes Bachelor of Technology in KSR, 2015 passed out"

I raked my fingers through my hair and said "Still I don't remember you"

She said with the smile "No problem, We can get to know each other now"

I asked her " So, you are new here".

She replied "Yep, Last week I joined this Company. What about you? You have been working here for so long?".

I replied "Not really, It's been a year I am working here." Sahid interrupted us "Piyush, it's lunch time"

Aarohi waved her hand and said "Piyush I see you later, bye Sahid" and left from music room

Side story of Aarohi:

Oh my god I blushed when I saw Piyush. My heart started beating so fast. I am out of breath. Still I have the same feeling as 4 years ago. I feel it's a dream to see him again. At Least I can stay by his side. Will he be able to understand my feelings for him one day?
