BETWEEN THEM
Part 4
She entered her class with a profound feeling of nervousness.
She had been promoted to a class where nobody was familiar to her, but she would not miss her previous classmates since she had never had any friend all these years.
She had decided either to be a front bencher or to occupy one of the last rows to avoid the curious eyes of everyone.
Even as she entered the room, she noticed that the entire front and the back benches were occupied.
She raised her head slowly and avoiding the perfunctory and inevitable stares from some, she spotted a vacant seat somewhere in the middle . Immediately lowering her eyes she hesitantly made her way down to the seat.
Half way down her way was blocked by someone-a boy.
"Excuse me,” she said meekly. Maybe he did not hear for he did not move. She tried once more, a bit loudly, her patience wearing off, being replaced by anger.
Still he did not acknowledge her.
Angry by now, she excused herself and even as he turned, she raised her head only to look straight ahead into his eyes, falling down into that deep, bottomless abyss called love.
Soulmates...... A whisper in her mind.......
That had been years back..... The first time....
A dreamy smile came to her lips as she remembered him-the perfect smile, his tall stature, the startling eyes, his way of carrying himself, his walk-his total persona-that had magnetically drawn her to him-Krish.
And now, it was all over.... there wasn't going to be any chance of her meeting him again....
She rocked herself faster.... the coffee almost spilling over....
Weekends were always depressing.......
And she deserved it.... The only chance that she had had and she had allowed herself to act foolish and lost it all.....
Life will not reward her again....
Hell.... she never had deserved him.....
She was again miles away.... And maybe it was all for the better.......
