"Love me Till the End" Stereotype at CEG

"If I did anything right in my life, it was when I gave my heart to her". This was his starting punchline on his never-ending love story.            

             Amidst the busy project work, he sat down to express the memories of his love story this valentine week. He began ‘We were both in the same batch and she was my adjacent roll number’ He turned pink. ‘Since I had my higher secondary education in a boys school, I was shy initially and was unaware of how to talk to girls, but as the time fleeted I was able to recognize that my eyes started disobeying my thoughts and began hearing to the feeble sounds of my heart ‘Turn towards her’. My usual place was the first bench and hers was second. If one could see my sitting posture, they would easily guess on what I am up for. Staring at her when she didn’t look was my only job after my representative duties. It’s an awesome feel to have a crush in your same class, you are guaranteed with full day attendance. I created attention by mocking  staffs and friends so that she could look at me. Those days’ he paused for a moment to admire at his own feeling. He continued ‘Those days, when she could sit next to me in RCC , Basic Sciences Lab,  finding doubts were really easy even when I know them, I just wanted a mere silly reason to talk to her’ He laughed.

              ‘We became closer, we shared information and much more. We become close enough but none had the courage to express. So I asked her for a treat, to celebrate our friendship. I know this is a lame reason but I just wanted to spend time with her. We went to the canteen where her friends were also sitting around the table we sat. Canteen was typically crowded.  Not all her friends were close to me and they remained a barrier between us, I maintained silence. Suddenly one of her friends asked me “Do you love someone? Do you have a crush on someone? Liked anyone before? Like anyone in class?” No was my only answer to all the questions, I didn’t like the fact that I want to express myself before someone else. Then the girl began to mock at me that I was a dumb for not having a crush. I tolerated to an extent, and then suddenly I raised my hands and pointed towards my girl and said that I have crush on her. Love leashes your sixth sense, I have heard people saying this before but this was the first time I felt it. She didn't say anything, she remained silent. Then the girl who questioned me started asking her who her crush was, after few minutes of compulsion she said that she also has a crush on me. You simply can’t imagine how I felt? The feel when your crush has a crush on you’ he looked straight into my face.

                 ‘It is obviously a superb feel’ my voice said. He continued ‘We became close then, spent interval and lunch time together until her friend came as a speed breaker on our smooth journey of love.She totally confused my girl’s mind, with the most common points that love would ruin her rapport with her parents and become a barrier for her studies. Then my girl came straight to me and said that this will not work out, we will stop everything from today.’  He paused. ‘ I was able to feel a pain that I never felt before. She said goodbye and left the place.  On our next RCC lab, I was not able to see her true self. When I asked something, She didn’t reply properly. I came to the room after the lab, feeling so low, a sudden feel of seclusion. As I said before, Love is dangerous to proper brain function. The blade before my eyes commanded me to do something unusual. Before I could realize what happened, there were 21 cuts in my hand. My friend who just came inside my room panicked seeing the red blood gushing out my hands. He went straight to her and said her what had happened. She called me immediately to meet.I went with no hope. From her face I predicted that she was very angry towards me, “I would have accepted you if you didn't do such foolish act.” She said and left fiercely. 

                  The day passed as if I was literally living in hell.The following day, she said that she wanted to talk to me after the chemistry lab. After the lab, we circled around SNH and Vivek Auditorium. She asked me “Will you be with me forever, even after 4 years, throughout the life and never cheat me?” I replied swiftly “Of course, I swear” We were walking for another  15 minutes in silence, then she finally opened  “I will also be there for you, forever”. He stopped. I could see his face turn pink. ‘Two and a half years has passed since then, there are of course few fights between us, but they make us know each other better, place before physics lab, Madhya Kailash temple and coolbiz became our usual place of visit. The most favorite place is the Birla planetarium, those 45 minutes of the show there gives us a magical feel’ he finished. I was able to see his brightly lit face through the corner of the door when i left the room .

"I fell in love with you, because you loved me when I couldn't love myself." Love is not about getting attracted, It is about showering affection in good and bad times, without any expectations... Felt this coming true on seeing this beautiful pair. May fortune favor them to be together forever...!
