Life seems to take a different way each time. But we hardly notice it. And sometimes it makes a huge difference too. That’s what happened
in my life too. And yes, I’m too a normal guy with some dreams and few aspirations to be accomplished and an immense desire of being in a
beautiful relationship, just as two third of the guys in my vicinity do posses. But this seemed to be a high hill climb in my case.
Priya, the very telephonic-conversation girl who made my life steer into a different but a very exciting direction. The day I talked with her for
the first time (actually it was by an accidental internet chat) infused a different feeling within me. Something like when you get to admire the
most liked person for your whole life. And the very soft voice filled with anxiety which triggered a vibration across my highly acoustic
eardrums, generated a gentle smile on my face (That’s obvious for a boy who had never heard such kind of voice ever before!). “Hey,
friend how are you? And thanks a lot for your important info… By the way I’m Priya Sharma, from Kota and you?” were the very first
statements that came across the other line. For the first few seconds, I was left speechless (an after effect, on hearing such sweet voice) and
then hurriedly responded “Nice talking to you Priya! I’m Harsh from Jabalpur and I’m doing well”. The next thing which surprised me after
talking to her for the first time was my one-third phone balance than that before I made the call. Anyways, doesn’t matter whenever it comes
to talking to new friends (especially sweet voiced girls! ). The next few days went in quick SMS competitions between two of us. You
might be wondering why I’m saying so, But actually we were engaged in sending so many texts to each other that it looked like an SMS
competition more!
Days passed on and we were getting friendlier, sharing good times and funny moments, sad feelings and each other’s hopes which made us a
good debater too. Priya used to surprise me with her humorous replies to whatever I asked her, and I used to give her mind-boggling and
funny answers to each of her silly but interesting queries. All we discussed were mostly related to our day to day nuisances and witty acts
and that of our friends. But slowly it did set an adrenaline within each other which kept us going on the phone for longer and still longer time.
I don’t know why, but somewhere in my heart, in my mind, all these were making a change, a change which cannot be described as such
and after you feel it, you remain vexed at yourself! My month’s holiday went so quickly, I never imagined about that. And then I had to get
back to my alma mater, my college.
New Year and this new and interesting friendship grew much faster and stronger. Now you might be guessing that my story is taking the
same monotonous love story track, but sorry folks, here we have a twist! As the moments spent with her o’er the line grew much longer and
interesting, I felt something very special and caring for a girl ever in my life. Not that I am a kind of all such guys who believe in quick
commitment, But I was dragged towards her by some unknown but certain force. For the first time, I believed on the working of Newton’s
laws in real life scenarios too. And you are smarter enough to guess about which law I’m talking about!
“Yaar, tell her everything about your feelings for her, otherwise it may be too late!” said my obnoxious but yet intellectual roommate, on
seeing my condition from the day zero when I returned back to college. “No dude! I cannot say everything to her in this way. I mean, not
o’er the phone at least! When I’ll meet her sometime later, I’ll tell her everything and I’m sure she’ll understand me”, were the very
sentimental words that automatically came out from my tongue. With this firm belief, I tried to control myself from being sentimental and
speak any non-sense while talking to Priya. Day ninth of the first month of the New Year, I called her as usual, and had the same talks with
her as we did every time we chatted. But sooner, something again worked inside my”complicated-state” attained mind, and it forced me to
speak all those that I wished to speak to her. But this time, I failed to resist myself and spoke very cautiously and highly nervously to her.
She had by the time, already realized about my feelings and she suddenly became quite serious. “Priya, this is what I all wanted to say to
you, because you know I cannot hide it my heart for long time, Priya, I love you”, and again, Shit! What the heck I have done! , I thought
and became much feared but relaxed, somewhere in my mind on saying all of it. “Harsh, I really don’t know what to say, but you are my
good friend.” said she after a long pause. That was enough for me to understand about her feelings for me. But still, Priya Sharma said
something very good and promising statements, which raised a ray of hope within me. I was completely changed, and then I surprisingly
started in believing in the magical and very entrusting four alphabet word “L-O-V-E”
