My Obra Days - Sweet Childhood

VIII. A NARROW ESCAPE

"She is the prettiest girl in this world."

"I am afraid my friend you haven't that much experience." I teased.

"Don't make a joke. OK!" Irritated Akash replied.

"OK."

"I agree, she is a bit healthy but good by her heart."

"Really." I nodded.

"Her beautiful long hairs, pink rose soft lips, big eyes and......."

"Come on. Leave explaining her beauty." I put a check.

What else could I do? I was being fascinated. She was my classmate too.

Akash, my friend; we studied together from class VI to class XII. During examinations of Class XI, there was the marriage of his elder sister. Therefore he was very busy with his guests and other works and simultaneously his studies were also important. He requested me whether he could have a group study with me.

"Group study? Are you serious?" I asked.

"Yes, I am."

"Well, you know, we won't study. Rather the gossips' study would be our whole sole area of discussion."

"Then who should I look at?"

"Not to worry about that. I'm here."

He smiled and said, "Thanks, brother."

"No need of thanks, dear. No formalities."

And I was not wrong. In preparatory holidays, we adopted a new fashion of waking up and studying the whole night or trying to show at least in my lawn under the open sky. He was in so-called teenage love with Mitali of our class and would discuss her for hours. Of course, I also had a keen interest in this matter.

One night at 12.15:

Akash said, "She is the prettiest girl in this world."

"I am afraid my friend you haven't that much experience." I teased.

"Don't make a joke. OK." Irritated Akash replied.

"Yup."

"I agree, she is a bit healthy but good by her heart."

"Really." I nodded.

"Her beautiful long hairs, pink rose soft lips, big eyes and......."

"Come on. Leave explaining her beauty." I put a check.

What else could I do? I was being fascinated by her. She was my classmate too.

I could see one more thing in that girl that he was unable to......she was a beauty with brain.

He forced himself immediately not to talk about her but this only added fuel to the fire in him.

After fifteen minutes, his fire became visible.

"I have to go."

"Where to?"

"To meet Mitali."

"Are you insane?" I was nonplussed.

"Nope. I'm in love." His eyes were sparkling

"To hell with this love. You are going to meet a girl in this midnight. I think you should consult a psychologist."

He smiled and just smiled, said nothing.

"What do you want to do?" I was irritated now.

"I want to take a nap."
