FIRST SPARK                                                              

It was late night as usual as soon as the Bus stopped. Ishika got down at the bus stop near her residence ,she stepped outside the bus and started walking towards her residence.

Like everyday Dhruv turned back and struggled through the crowd behind him to catch a glimpse of Ishika entering her building safely

But this time Dhruv was not the only one who had turned back…💓

DREAMER

                                                  

A sea of thoughts flutter in my head,

Eyes wide open yet dreaming I lay down upon my bed, 

With a hell lot to say and still none to be said,

From present to future who knows what lays ahead,

I have alot to say but enough has been said, 

But before I close my eyes deep into sleep upon my bed, 

Oh my silence why do you talk so much all deep in my head

The Day I Saw You..

It was a Rainy Afternoon of July when I saw her coming through the glass door in the college corridor, I could see her eyes, her gaze was still the same.
The little eye contact was enough to feel an earthquake inside my body , I could feel my heart gushing out ,my throat all dry and hands shivering ,
shivering with Fear ? Hatred ? Love ? Pain ? , I don't know.
That was the moment when I realized that Love doesn't break you only once but multiple times ,
with the same pain , same intensity All over again.

Sunset with a new beginning

We walked to my bike and got on it. "Where to Ma'am?" I asked her.
"Somewhere quiet" she said and I knew where exactly to take her. We drove to an abandoned building near the village backyard. This place used to be our favorite getaway spot because we could see the sea in front of us, we could see the waves come and die right beneath our feat. It was all very quiet today too, just like old times.
She went and sat on a bench and I joined her there. "It's been long" she said.
"a year." I whispered. "How's your college?"
"Oh! It's great! Life is very fast there. How have you been?" she asked.
"good " I said looking at the sea in front of us. The weather was overcast and the breeze was gentle.
You know you were never were a good liar she said smiling to look at the beautiful sun set as I turned to look at her. She turned to me with her huge round eyes and said "Come on! You think you could lie to me just because we have not seen each other from a year? Idiot!"

I laughed at her question and at my own idiotic attempt to hide it from her. I told her about all that I had been through the last year and how all of that changed me. She said I always was an idiot and we laughed.
No, she is not my girlfriend or may be she is, She is my best friend or may be she is not, all that i know is that she is the one with whom I could share all my secrets and all the bizarre events of my life without having to worry what she will think of me.
