My First Love

Love is overrated .We believe in that statement & even swear by it if we are not in love at that moment .It is either before we fall in love or after ,we can never make that statement when we are in love .There is exception to it , it’s when we anticipate to fall in love.

Aayush, too felt that way .Ever since his first crush ended in a bizarre way .In School days ,He liked the girl in his class. Sunaina was beautiful ,much like fairy princess ,Aayush had imagined .There was grace in her walk ,there was melody in her talk. She was perfect .He thought about her day and night . Making her happy was only the thing  he thought .He knew everything her favorite color ,her favorite actors from her food habits to her hobbies .He cared for her  too much . But he had only problem .He did not tell her so. He thought she would sense his love .If you love someone with all your heart, words should not mater he believed .But the world does’nt  realise it. No mater how much you love her in your heart .You have to show it or say it, otherwise it doesn’t ring a bell .Universe does not conspire unless you make an effort. Aayush crush came tumbling down when he realized this fact .He moved on but Love was overrated for him thereon .But Love was a addiction much like drugs or nicotine ,psychologically speaking .When you try to come out of it, you still carve for if .You resist the temptation but carving remains until you get it from somewhere.

For Sapna Love didn’t exist .Who on earth would love me she often thought .Her mirror often refuse to acknowledge her presence. She was smart and intelligent .But those criteria didn’t win her any fans .She loved travelling .She had joined a trek group in college .Which led her to visit place & explore the nature that’s what fascinated her .She shared those fascinations through her travel blog. Her writing skill needed much hounding .But that is secondary ,more important was her travel experience .Love was only for pretty people, was her belief .Even slim, beautiful ,homely were the criteria for arranged marriage and Fairness creams and treatment was fascination , she hardly had a chance. Guys  spoke to her only because they wanted  an intro for her beautiful friend. They felt more confident in approaching her than the gorgeous damsel .But then she too started seeing through it .She had become paranoid towards love .

Madam Chhuta nahi hai !! , taxi driver was repeating the epic line .Sapna had heard n number of times .Mumbaikars has been bestowed upon epic curse of lack of change .Rakhlo chutta ,sapna said finally .She was already running late for writing worshop.It was not her forte but her friend had insisted it will help her in Travel  blog writing . Is these seat empty ? Sapna asked to geek smart looking guy .Aayush totally engrossed in his thoughts till that time said yes giving her half look. She was used to it . However she adjusted her chair to make a seat .Bang !! in process jammed Aayush’s fingers. Oh I am really sorry ,said Sapna..Aayush gave her’ what the hell’ look. How will I take my notes now ? hissed Aayush . Sapna made a sad face .She was planning to does off if she found a session uninteresting .She decided to help him .

She took notes in her note in case aayush missed .Who was nevertheless taking down as much as he could. Is your hand ok ?asked sapna . Ya its fine now ,Aayush replied .Did you manage to take notes completely .If not I have taken down notes you can keep this in case you need for referencing . Aayush had not able to complete the notes .he was rather disheartened .However  he was touched by Sapna’s kind behavior .He took her notes . Hey but how will I return this book ? Aayush wondered .Ok take my number call me once you have copied it .

Aayush called sapna in couple of week’s time .but her phone went unanswered .Sapna had been travelling with her trek group. After a month or so Aayush called again . this time sapna answered .She had completely forgotten about a guy whose finger she almost broke. They decided to meet at mall to exchange the notebook .

Meeting was more than pleasant surprise for both of them .Their conversation started why they were at Writing workshop. Sapna told Aayush about her blog & Aayush shared his book hoping sphere were he read 5 books a month .He reviewed each one of them in his own blog . He hoped to write a book himself . They discussed each other hobbies.,aspirations .This was a start of friendship. It was friendship by coincidence .

They started discussing more about each other life through chat & calls. Aayush would narrate about his latest books .Sapna would detailed version of her travels .Aayush even accompanied her to few trips along with group .Day in day out they were coming closer .

Aayush was not smiiten by sapna She was not typical beautiful girl Her fashion sense was restricted to matching her heel with top .Hairstyle was a pony .She hardly took care while stepping out .but there was more to a girl than her looks. Aayush was in two minds this was not his idea of life partner..He imagined  ,how their marriage pic look on Facebook .But then he thought does that even mater .

Sapna on other hand was first the realise the chemistry .But she ofcourse felt Aayush is too good looking and hence beyond her reach. She knew that looks was important factor  for any guy and she was sure losing in case there was a race.

We all wait for the most perfect person .Beautiful, intelligent, smart and what not . Then we meet him /her. She is not most beautiful but her smile touch your heart ,She may be not the intelligent but touch of her hand give you jitters. Aayush was feeling this for long time .He thought about her all the time .It was not about the looks its about the feeling. You don’t love a her because she is beautiful. But If you love a person ,she becomes most beautiful girl in whole world .Does what people think mater?It does not .

Aayush had made his decision but how will she react ? Does she even consider me eligible .? All their discussion where friendly not flirty .they have never considered each other a prospect .They never had inhabitations .Hence they never wear mask in front of each other .They didn’t pretend to be perfect in each other eyes .This has made them a free book .He had more than one occasion let his guard down let her knew his wild ambitions. She too let him in her most secretive world and shared her dreams .

Aayush decised to write a love letter .He wanted to pour his heart out to her.to let her know about his feelings . Aayush however remembered what happened with Sunaina .  Is this how it will end too? .Aayush‘s mind started wondering. You can never forget your first love ,he had heard . Who is My first Love?,.Aayush wondered .Aayush closed her eyes and one person took over his thoughts completely . It was Sapna. That’s all he thought about.
