Sitting in college canteen with your best friends is the
most cherish able moment; snatching Lunch-box before the owner opens it, always
eating from a friends’ plate saying “taste kar rhi thi”, teasing each other
with name of their crushes, clicking photographs in poses and later on
realizing the loveliest memories in the pictures when you pass through them
when you become busy in your professional life.
Sonali, My closest friend, she was such a sweetheart to me
and there couldn’t be any secret of mine that she didn't know.
We, with 3 more of our friends; Megha, Upasana and the
cutest among all of us, Kanika were sitting on our daily-reserved table in the
canteen. Yes, I sometimes felt why I can’t be cute like Kanika. No, I am not
saying that I am not cute, but after all being a girl, it’s my birthright to
get jealous. Why I am wasting pages writing about Kanika and all of us. Ok
guys, a bad news for all of you- My all friends are in relationship now, so
just forget them! Chuck it… where is my story?
It was another hot day when I was sitting with my friends.
The single tables were traditionally occupied by renowned-couples of the
college and we always used to observe each and every movement of them and then
making fun with our pet lines “ dekhioa, kaise chipak ke baithe hai dono” and
Sonali, the one and only piece, that we have seen, would treat us almost every
month just because she gets a new boyfriend each month and why would someone
wont love a free-treat and that too for a stupid reason.
Thursday- my duty day to bring up chocolates from the
canteen and pay for them too!
I was standing in the coupon collecting line when a dashing
personality stood behind me in the same line. For once, I felt that he would
have been my friend as we all classmates were really close to each other; we
would never keep a relationship hidden and never mind if someone gets 0 in
test, we would still have a treat for his big achievement and that too on our
pockets !
He said, “It’s so hot over here and people are moving like
snail.”
Choosing a snail as an example was so obvious after being in
a medical college.
I turned round my face “Are you blaming me?”
“No, I am just saying,” he tried to ignore his words.
“Better mind your words!” I roared.
“Ohhhh… I like that attitude”, he tried to flirt.
“Oh puhlezzzzz!!! Do what you have come to do here,” I
hardened my voice.
He smiled; the most killing smile I have ever seen in my
life yet.
And how could I stop smiling after seeing such a… I would
have filled another whole page explaining me his smile.
He spoke unforgettable words after that, “I have come here
to make you smile ? ”.
And this was the time I felt I have found the best in my
life, Rohan Shrivastava.
Rohan was doing MBBS, but with a poor luck of being in
