“Hey I too love you” I said with a smile.
As I said this, Celina came near me and was about to kiss me on my lips. I inched forwards and suddenly Sandhya’s image flashed in front of my eyes. I moved back.
“Hey what happened?” Celina said.
“I am not feeling well lets go home” I said in a low voice.
“Ok let’s go” Celina replied.
I dropped Celina to her house.
“Hey how was the date” my driver asked.
“Not so good” I replied.
“I think now you are bored with your dates” my driver said.
“No it’s not like that” I said. I reached home and didn’t eat my food. I directly went to my room and slept.
C h a p t e r 23
Next day morning as I woke up I was thinking about last evening. Did I do wrong in denying the kiss?
That day in school Sandhya again tried to talk to me.
“Sandip try to understand that I love I wane live with you. Why you don’t talk with me” Sandhya said in a sad tone.
“The days when I loved you and I proposed in a day you didn’t accept my proposal even though I said don’t go away from me I tried a lot to again re-friendship with you. But you didn’t return to me and now when I am in love with another girl you say that you love me” I said.
“How can I forget you my love, you are my everything” Sandhya said in a sad tune.
“No when I was in love with you, you didn’t even like” I said.
“No I loved you even at that time” Sandhya said.
“No its not true, oh, when I was in love with you then I was clean and brave and miles around the winder grew how well did I behaved, and now you went away from me and nothing had remained, and miles around they’ll say that I am quite myself again. Is this you love that you loved me before?” I said.
“Oh, you say this when I left you that day I cried a lot to not accept you” Sandhya said.
“Then what you think that I didn’t cried that day for you I was crying the whole night through thinking about you but I don’t cry for you now” I said.
Then Sandhya said nothing and then I went away from there, then; in this way Sandhya always come to me and realize her mistake and said about Celina. But I never listened to her.
Our next exams approached soon. I quiz contest like last time was also supposed to be held but I didn’t want to participate in it. I was not even confident about the exams. Everyone forced me to participate and so I did.
“Hey Sandip I know that this time also you will win the quiz and also be the topper of our class” Celina said.
“No I don’t think so” I replied.
“Of course you will be the topper and the first in quiz just try for me” she said.
“Ok let me see I will try” I replied.
Celina’s words got me into depression. Everyone had high hopes from me. Will I be able to fulfill it? I was tensed.
C h a p t e r 24
“Mom my examination will be starting from day after tomorrow and this time also I have participated in the quiz competition” I informed my mom when I came back home from school.
“You should study and I think this time also you will bring good marks and be the winner in the quiz competition” mom said with proud.
“I will see mom” I said in a low voice.
My exams started. First was the Mathematics paper. When I got the paper in my hand I went blank and couldn’t solve much of the paper.
“Hey Sandip how was your exam?” Celina said with a smile.
“Not so good. How was yours?” I replied.
“Yes it was good” she said.
Exams went off quite quickly. I didn’t perform well this time. Everyone wished me luck for the quiz contest but I wasn’t confident this time.
When the competition started I was eliminated in the first round itself. Disheartened I came down from the stage. Everyone was quite shocked by my elimination. I went to Celina with a sad face. She was not at all happy with my performance. When I tried talking with her she was very rude in her behavior.
“Hey Sandip what was the position in today in your quiz?” my mom asked me when I reached home.
“Mom it was not good at all I was eliminated in the first round itself” I said. She didn’t react to my words and left the room.
After two days we were going to get our papers. I was very afraid. I went to Celina just to share my fears with her and to my utter shock she walked away from me as if she hadn’t seen me.
“Sandip this time your performance is very poor. Study hard the next time” my teacher told me while giving my paper.
My marks were below average in every subject. I felt sick and depressed. I went to Celina. She was not even noticing me.
“What’s your score?” I asked Celina. But she didn’t even say a word and left from there. I repeated my words but she didn’t even look at me. “What happened yaar” I asked her again.
“Why are you disturbing me Sandip? What is your problem? Cant you see that I don’t want to talk to you” she replied in a rough tone.
“Are you angry with me?” I asked.
“Listen cant you understand that I don’t want to talk to you? Stop pestering me or else I will complaint to the teacher” Celina replied.
“Ok-ok I am sorry” I said in a low voice.
I walked away from there and I remembered Sandhya’s words. She had told me that Celina was with me only for her own sweet benefits and now I realized that.
Truth dawned to me slowly. I should have listened to Sandhya long time back but then I didn’t and that was my biggest mistake. I thought of going and asking Sandhya for forgiveness. But I doubt will she forgive me? I cursed myself for being biased.
“Hey Sandhya I am sorry for everything and also for not listening to your truth even though you loved me but I didn’t believed you and you were right that Celina was only my friend for my popularity in the school. Today I realized this Sandhya, please forgive me for my mistakes.” I said in a low voice by apologizing my mistake.
“Sandip it’s not your fault. It’s me who is to be blamed for all this chaos. I did the biggest mistake by listening to Celina. She told me all the negative things about you and I believed her. I love you Sandip and I am sorry” Sandhya said crying.
“I love you too Sandya. Even when I was with Celina in those days I used to think about you. You are my true love dear and I don’t want to lose you ever again” I replied.
“I love you Sandip” Sandhya said by hugging me.
“I love you too” I said.
“At last true love wins” after our long hug, Ishant said by looking at me and Sandhya.
“Now I think we should throw away Celina from this school” Nisha said looking at all of us.
“If from tomorrow I see you in this school then you see what will, I do to you” Nisha said by pointing her fingers to Celina with an angry voice.
“Hey from tomorrow lets again come like before on the cycle” Sandhya said.
“Ok then” I replied with a smile.
“Ok bye” Sandhya said. Then she went then I went to Nisha.
“Hey Nisha thanks for what you have done” I said with a smile.
“Your welcome and I knew that you both will be again meeting with each other one day” Nisha said.
“Ok bye” I said her.
Then I went with the cycle group.
“Hey I think Sandip today you are very happy” Veer said. “Yes why not” I replied.
“Hey Sandip you are good guy that you again took in you love as Sandhya” David said.
“It’s because our love was true” I said. That day even though I had scored less marks I was very happy because my true love was with me.
“Hey today we think you will be going with Sandhya to the school” my cycle group friends asked me the next morning.
“Yes why not” I replied with a smile.
Then after sometime on the same place Sandhy
a was been waiting for me then I went near to her.
“Hey come let’s go” I said by looking at Sandhya.
“Hey what did Celina told about me to you?” after sometime on the road I asked Sandhya.
“She told me that you loved other and you are just loving me for a sake and many things, but hey what did she told about me” Sandhy said.
“She told that you are just my friend for profit and you are a girl who makes bad relationship with the boys” I replied.
“Hey I think Celina had made a very big planning to break both of our friendship” Sandhya said by looking at me.
“Yes she has a master mind” I replied with a smile.
Then in this way we reached to the school then the school went as like the other days with fun. Celina didn’t come today to the school.
“Hey Sandhya tonight are you free” I asked Sandhya.
“Yes” she replied.
“Hey then will you come with me for a date today” I said to Sandhya with a smile.
“Yes why not” she said with her pretty smile.
“But this time you select the place where we will go” I said.
“As in our first date we both went to Salami restaurant so lets again go there” Sandhya said me with a smile.
“Ok then I agree but you should come at seven pm tonight ok” I said.
C h a p t e r 25
Sandhya messaged me
“Hey Sandip I am coming to the restaurant
And you come on time”
“Hey take me to the Salami restaurant” I said to driver.
“Hey I think it’s a date” my driver said.
“Yes” I replied.
“With whom?” he asked again.
“With the first girl means Sandhya” I said with a smile.
“What happened to that other girl?” he again asked.
“I don’t like her” I replied.
“Hey Sandip how was the day of the school for you today” Sandhya asked me when we sat in the restaurant.
“Yeah it was good” I replied.
“Hey Sandip I think Celina will never come again to the school do you know where she went” Sandhya said.
“I don’t know where she went but it’s good that she went” I said with a smile.
Then at that time the waiter came with the menu then I said Sandhya to choose a dish then she looked at the menu and then she orders the food items.
“Hey Sandip I am not so sure about it but I have heard just when my mom and dad were talking that my dad has got transferred to Bangalore and so I think we will be going there” Sandhya said in a low voice.
“Are you sure” I asked.
“I think yes, but if it is also true I don’t wane want to go there by leaving all the friends and also you” Sandhya said.
“Hey Sandhya can’t you stay here” I asked her.
“No because my mom is also going” she said.
When we came out of the restaurant Sandhya caught my hand. I pulled her closer and our lips met. I kissed her soft lips. It was a passionate and long kiss.
“Bye Sandip” Sandhya said.
“Bye and good night Sandhya” I said.
C h a p t e r 26
I was on my way to school the next day with Sandhya.
“Hey Sandip the thing which I told you yesterday is true that we are going” Sandhya said in a sad tone.
“When you are going” I asked.
“Don’t know but today my mom said that she will be coming to the school to take my TC certificate” Sandhya said.
“Then it means that you are going” I said.
“Yes” she replied.
“Hey you promise me that you will meet me again” I said.
“Ok I promise you that I will meet you again and you also promise me” Sandhya said me.
“Yes I also promise you” I said by looking at Sandhya”s eyes.
“Hey Sandip today in the evening are you free” she asked.
“Yes” I replied.
“Let’s go to polo park today.” Sandhya said.
“Ok then I will be coming but at what time” I asked.
“At five pm” she replied.
“Bring something in the evening that we will bury together in the garden and also write a letter which we will bury in the box and read it when we meet again and dig the box” she said “Ok I will bring” I said.
I wrote a for Sandhya and put it inside an envelope. I also took it and went to the park.
“Hey what happened what are you thinking” I said to Sandhya after meeting her.
“I am thinking that will we meet each other again” Sandhya replied.
“Hey now don’t think silly things we will surly be meeting” I said.
“Oh there the new friends and I don’t know how it will be” Sandhya said.
“Hey everything will be good why are you thinking so much about all this, hey now lets put this things in the ground but hey where we will put this things” I asked her.
“I have brought a box in which we will put this things and burry it in the ground in near to this tree” she said by looking at me.
“Hey then come lets do it” I said.
Then she took out the box and then I put my letter and the gift which Sandhya gave me. And she also put a letter and the Barbie doll which I gave.
We promised each other that we will again meet each other after completing our studies it means after seven years.
“Hey Sandip I wish that these seven years pass very fast and then we again can meet each other” Sandhya said with a smile.
“Yes I also wish the same” I said.
At the last she kissed me on my lips and then I while going.
“Hey Sandhya see you after seven years bye” I said Sandhya with a smile.
“Hey you study with your full concentration and also see you after seven years bye” Sandhya said it with a smile which I loved the most and I think it was her last lovely smile in her childhood which I was seeing.
A few days past. I wanted to talk to Sandhya desperately but I didn’t have her number. I asked to Nisha for her number but she also didn’t have it.
My exams came and I did quite well this time. I was missing Sandhya. I wanted to talk to her and tell her about my good performance. I was just dreaming about meeting her again.
C h a p t e r 27
After seven years of long wait today the day had arrived that Sandhya was going to meet me. How beautiful she must be looking now! She must be looking like an angel. I was sitting on the same bench where we had met seven years ago. After an hour or so I saw a beautiful girl. She was wearing a pair of blue denims and a white tee-shirt. She wore diamond studs in her ears and had left her hair open. She was looking just like an angel. She came and sat near me.
“Hey can I have a seat here?” the girl asked me with her sweet voice.
“Yes you can” I replied. Then she sat on my bench and we were just sitting. Fifteen minutes past then also she was still sitting here, then she looked at me and I also looked at her and then we both gave a smile.
“Hey are you new to this town” I said in a gentle voice.
“Yes, but I earlier stayed here and you” the girl replied with a beautiful smile and a sweet voice.
“I too earlier stayed here and then again I came here” I said by returning the smile. Then we stopped talking then again after sometime.
“Hey what is the purpose that you came here?” the girl asked me.
“I came here for meeting someone and you” I replied.
“Me too but hey did you meet that person” she again asked.
“No, not till now but I think soon I will meet that person” I said with a smile.
“I also have the same condition I think that person has forgotten me” the girl said.
“If you don’t mind then can I know who that person is?” I asked with a smile to that girl.
“Yes off course he is a boy to whom I loved very much” she replied.
/> “Hey what a coincident it is I am also waiting for a girl to whom I loved” I said with a smile.
“Hey where you said to meet that boy to you” I asked the girl.
“Here just near to that tree I have a very lovely interesting remember able thing near it and you where you said to meet that girl to you” she replied.
“Same place where you both are meeting” I said.
“Where will be he now be here looking for me, after this seven years” the girl said.
Then when she said this I then remembered something that what I and Sandhya said to meet after seven years “Hey you both the lovers in the childhood promise to meet each other after seven years and you both the lovers had burried, a box inside the mud near to that tree” I said in a hurry voice.
“Hey how did you know that?” she asked me with a smile.
“Firstly you say what that boy’s name” I said.
“Sandip Kashyap now you say how you knew that” the girl said. Then when she said my heart said thanks to god.
“Sandhya are you not remembering me I am only Sandip I am waiting for you form so many days” I said with full of excitement.
“Sandippppppppp, you were near me and we both only didn’t knew each other” the she shouted with joy and said.
“Hey Sandhya in those days when you were not there I called on your phone but I couldn’t contact you. And you also didn’t call me, even any one of the friends” I said with a smile.
