Looking back to my college days, I feel great as it reminds me of the wonderful time I spent with my true friends. This is an extract from my real life.
With great guts I walked through the corridors of my college.
As I reached the 3rd floor, I saw her standing outside the classroom waiting for her friend.With a smile I walked towards her. She responded with a pretty smile which I used to see in my daily dreams. As I reached her, I told “Hi Maria, tomorrow is our 'Tiger5' football finals with C Batch. They have got all the big guns in their team. I want to win this game. Will you be there to watch it? I wish you be there. Will you come tomorrow?”
Hearing my words she just smiled and said nothing.
After a long silence, I again asked her "Maria I really wish, will you come to watch the finals?”. She thought for a while and then replied to me, "I don't know anything about football, but I will come’. That is one of the most wonderful moment I still cherish. I felt great, I felt like Hilary after conquering Everest, on top with joy and pride. I just said bye to her and left there. That night was a wonderful dreamy night for me. I was the prince and she was my princess. We walked through the desert, jumped over the clouds, swum in the Nile. Everything was wonderful.
Yes, it all started on a Christmas Eve, when I first met her. We chatted for a long time about studies, college, friends, and family. One thing which was common to us was our frequency that was a real match. And we used to meet each other so frequently.
Atlas the finals came. All my friends were gathered in the ground, waiting for the game to start. Me in the middle of dreams, waited for her. My team was planning strategies but without their captain, as I was lost in love.
Seeing me lost in the dreams my batch mates started teasing. I just responded with smile having the confidence that she will come to watch me playing, scoring the goals for my team and my girl.
The game started, I really played hard and we completed the first half with 0-0 on board. I searched for her but no sight of her nearby and I was half dead, but still I had that last bit of hope, which gave me the power to fight back. I expected her entry at any time, so played with full threshold to score for her.
As the time passed by, I felt like sinking in deep water, all of a sudden I heard a comment from one of my close friend- "Navin, don’t wait for her man, she won't come . Just now I saw her walking with her friends to attends John’s birthday party".
After hearing this, I was fully lost. All of a sudden my opponents started scoring goals one after another. And the game ended with 0-3 on board. I stood like the captain of a sinking ship. All the blames were thrown on me. I called her and asked “Why did not you come”, she replied “Sorry I don’t like football players”.
And my first crush turned to be a crash.
My journey continues with smiles, chats, crushes, proposals and finally the same old crash. But am cool, coz am a “Football Player”.
