EPISODE 8 : THE DAY I SAID “ME TOO” (CRUSH STORY CONTD)




It’s been good 5 months now and 2 semesters down, time just flies by I must say. It’s the end of November and Diwali the festival of lights and crackers is just around the corner. We have a good 1 week vacation. This is going to be a big break and I will surely miss Nandini. It was our last day in class today and vacation starts tomorrow. My relationship with Nandini, well, I would rather call it “Friendship” with Nandini has blossomed everyday.

The clock struck 8pm and the professor wished us “Happy Diwali”. We wished him back in chorus. All were busy greeting and wishing one another. Ganesh was hugging everyone as If he is off to some new world and will be never to be seen. My eyes as usual were searching for Nandini. As I was scanning the class I caught Nandini looking at me, the moment I saw her she got her gaze shifted otherwise. God knows what girls think or what is running in their mind. However, I waved at her to catch her attention and she waved me back with an expression as if she saw me just that moment. What else could I have done, just smiled and walked out of the class.

While walking downstairs, I heard Nandini call me out “Hey Eathen”. “Hey, wassupp!! Happy Diwali”, I greeted. “Thanks!! Wish you the same!!”, she replied with a smile. “So, what plans? Shopping and stuff huh?”, I asked.” Ya, sort of”, she blushed. God!!! she looks pretty when she replies blushing. “What are your plans”?, she asked. “Not much, home, friends that’s it and ya little bit of studies”, I replied with a smile.

I noticed the pick up coming and I told her pointing at the vehicle, “there you go your pick up has arrived”. “You know what Eathen, this week long break, I guess it’s going to be too long and boring”, she said. “I know, its festival season, so time will fly by, you take care of yourself and be safe with those crackers and stuff”, I replied. “Yes, I will, you take care too”, she blushed again. As she took couple of steps towards the vehicle, she turned back at me and paused for a while. I asked her “what happened?”. “You know what, I will miss you Eathen”, she said looking right into my eyes. I was awe struck and didn’t know how to react. I just replied back saying “ME TOO”. Now that was the first time I said those two words to a girl. Listening to my reply she smiled and waved me good bye and disappeared as I was still standing stun.

AS I SAID “THE CRUSH HAS JUST STARTED” - HAPPY DIWALI FOLKS!!!!
