Radha was the girl who always came in my mind and I always wanted to get her, I remember it was the morning of 6th July and college was nicely washed by the rain drops which were being poured from the skies. Radha came to the college in her favourite blue jeans and white half sleeved shirt, she was partly wetted on her way to college and I could clearly see the water has done his part and her black bra was clearly seen. This was when I started to see her as a different person and my college love started to twitter.
I started to follow Radha at every possible places in the college. My college love was known to Satya and few other friends of mine. Until late Decembers I never gathered courage to tell her my feeling and It was being like a hide and seek show as my one sided college love giving me intense pain in my heart. I could think only about her and ways to get her in my arms, I always dreamed of her being mine and craved for those small little hugs and cuddles. Radha used to talk with me in the library but that was only on the subjects like biology and all, my heart chemistry was still untouched. On 23rd December just the day before college going on Xmas holidays I got the courage, may be Santa gave me the gift wrapped courage few hours early. Radha was all alone in the canteen, I approached to her table and asked her if I could company her.
She looked at me and smiled : Come on Ranjit, why you are being so diplomatic, you don’t need to ask to join me. I thought we are good friends.
I can’t tell you how I was feeling in my stomach at that time, this was the first instance she recognized me as her friend and I was thinking of proposing her in few moments only.
Me: Radha, I wanted to tell you something, but I am afraid you will feel bad.
Radha: Tell me Ranjit, I wouldn’t mind, you know me.
Me: Radha, I like you and this is since long now, but as I was afraid of telling you I kept at myself only. In fact you are the one who comes in my dreams every other day. Also, I don’t come to library to study. I be in the library for hours so that I could see you and make myself happy. I know and it is not necessary that you would have same feelings for me. But I wanted to make it clear today as I can’t take it any-more…..!!!!
Radha: You are not the one who is taking it alone…!!!!
After saying this Radha literally ran from the canteen towards the garden area, I took the leaps and soon reached to the Asopalawa tree under which Radha was standing. She had something in her hand. I saw that, it was a notebook and she was weeping. I grabbed the notebook and saw the page…I LOVE RANJIT….this is what was written there in red ink. I was gob-smocked. I took it as one sided feeling but this college love was from the both sides….!!!!
