My love story started when I turned 16.The lucky girl's name was Soniya,only she didn't know that she was
all that lucky.Cause to Soniya we were 'just friends'. I was the guy she turned to when she had problems in
Maths. But to me she was..well,she was more,much more.
'And if I had my way,someday she would be mine.'
Her bunglow was just in front of the apartment where my father had a one bedroom flat in the fourth floor.I used to stare at her for hours from the small window next to my study table when she sat on the terrace swing and chat with her friends on the BBM. I was not even on her friend's list as with my little pocket money I could neither afford a blackberry nor the monthly BBM service charges.
Every day my love for her just grew more ,until sometimes I would forget to breathe ! I know this may sound strange,but I pictured us and the places we would go. It didn't matter to me if it were Goa or Kashmir or some hot sweaty jungle somewhere.You see the feeling was always the same because I was with Soniya and she was with me .
Well.. looking back now,it was all so simple then.And that's when it all went wrong.
I am Rahul and this is my story .
Miracles do happen & I witnessed one. Sonia one day came to ask me some solution of a problem in maths & i explained the equation in my copy, in the flow she took my copy along with her. it was in this copy that i wrote so many poems thinking about her. She was smart enough to know that someone is there in my life & she didn't hesitate to ask me the same while returning my notebook. i made up a story that yes, may be she is partially correct.
Gradually I too forgot this incident. One day i came to know that she has left for a metro city for higher studies & I was heartbroken. Time never waits for anyone, life moved on. Now, after so many years I found her on facebook & couldn't resist adding her as my friend. After a few days she replied in my message box - "lets stay as friends, i managed to live on after knowing that you have someone else in your life. At the age of 35 i still couldn't marry anyone because of you. I see your happy family and kids, so why you want to trouble me more? I hope you are one of the few blessed ones who married the one they wanted unlike me. Don't contact me ever again, yours ... Sonia"
