Lost Love
Chapter 1
about the past...
about the past...
she runs
out of her home…
she’s late,
she has to be at office by 8 o clock…
she gets
the keys of her apartment and car and a pile of her work’s files and then she
runs with all her force to reach her car when she suddenly falls and all her
files fall on the floor too…
damn…even
if it’s been so many years since she changed a lot but still, she’s still the
same…
the same khushi…
flashbacks:
she’s
late…she has to be at school by 8 o clock! And it’s 7…the way to school takes
more than an hour…
if she
finds the bus too quickly, it will be her lucky day…
she puts
some books on her purse and takes the other ones on her hands…
a mountain
of books…she feels that she will need them all…
it’s been
like this since she’s 5 and went to school for the first time…she kept going
with multitude of books and documents to school every day!
her
classmates around laugh at her…she was heavier than her school bag and on the
top: she was brilliant!
A genius!
And this, of
course, made the children around her jealous…and so, kind of mean to her!
No one
wanted to be friendly and sweet to the weirdo extra shy student of the school:
khushi Kumari gupta!
In the
other hand, khushi gets the more intelligent and focused the more on her
studies! and getting more and more shy...
And now,
only two years were left to be in university
The last
year in the high school will be the next year
Khushi is
16 years old and nothing changed…she’s the same brilliant, genius student but
she has now a friend
Her best
friend, the one and only friend: Payal!
She loves
Payal because she never judged her
Khushi
remembered that she has to call to tell her to not wait for her, before the
school door like every morning to that they could enter together…because she
will be surely late and she won’t make Payal late also!
With her
phone in one hand and her books and purse in the other hand, she accelerated,
running with all her force in the street
There are
so many people around but all are her neighbors, those people know her very
well and some greet her and she answered with just a smile or a wink to the
children of her neighborhood!
Suddenly,
she doesn’t know what happened but she got crushed against something and all
her books fall on the floor as the shock was strong
She was
hell angry…
And she
starts yelling, out of control, even if this is not herself, she doesn’t
usually yell at anyone, even if she’s angry but this morning was difficult from
the start and she won’t be later:
-can’t you
see I’m walking this way? Couldn’t you be more careful?...are you…
She looked
up at the person who doesn’t answer her and who wasn’t ready to step
back to give her some space to pick up her books…
When she
looked up…she gets silent…she blushed furiously
It was him!
Him and no
one other than him…
Him…him…him…and
her heart starts beating so fast so fast
Great! It’s
him and she’s yelling like this…perfect! She has to be even more horrible this
morning!
How is she
looking?
She doesn’t
even know! she doesn’t have the time this morning to look even for one second in the mirror!
Great!
Great! He has to be so handsome to make it even more difficult
He doesn’t
speak…he finally stepped back and she noticed that his hand supported her arm
to stop her from falling on him at the first place
It wasn’t
his fault!
It’s her
fault…she’s the one who is running fast and in all the senses as the road was
hers!
-sorry..sorry..didn’t
mean
She mumbled
-are you
ok?
He asked
suddenly
Oh god!
It was the
first time, she heard his voice…that close
She just
nodded…she’s feeling like her cheeks are burning from shyness and…she doesn’t
know what more to do!
He leaned
and picked her books and she leaned too to pick some
-you’re
late?
-I…
He handed
to her the books that he picked up
-and you
too! You should be faster if you want to arrive to school at time!
She added
and then it sounds awkward as it’s not her business and as he kept looking at
her with his chocolate eyes….he seems amused and it troubled her
-I…I have
to go!
She looked
for the last time at him and then runs again with all her force, hugging her
books against her chest…
Her heart
is still beating so fast and she knows that if she look back, she would find
him still standing there…looking at her!
She doesn’t
know even his full name but she’s…she’s becoming crazy just by seeing him in
front of her, it’s crazy!
They went
to the same school but he’s in the final year…next year he will be at
university!
This
thought made her sad!
She doesn’t
know why!
He’s famous
at school: Arnav does this, Arnav did that!
All the
girls went gaga for him but he’s not interested on anyone!
He’s too
arrogant and mysterious
Khushi
named him Mr Darcy…as he’s…
Wait! She
just crushed into Mr. Arnav Darcy and he spoke to her, he stared at
her…he…seems amused too!
Wait!
What???
****************
later at school:
-what?
-yes! I
swear! I swear Payal! It wasn’t a dream! I told you before that Mr. Darcy is
living in the same neighborhood so the chances to meet him are high and this
morning I met him! I mean…the accident thing!
It was the
pause time and all the half of students went to the restaurant of the school
and the other to the schoolyard or the library…
Khushi and
Payal chooses the background of the almost empty library…
It’s their
secret place!
-and he
picked my books from the floor! I was about to faint!
Payal
arched her eyebrow, smiled and then starts laughing
Khushi
beats her playfully
-I’m not
joking! You! You silly!
Payal
stopped and then held khushi’s shoulders
-khushi!
You’re looking so beautiful, you’re so intelligent and nice and kind! and it
was so normal that he helped you!
-you must
be kidding me! Why a guy like him would get interested in a girl like me! my
case is desperate I told you!
-oh please!
Shut up!
-I’m not
even normal! I have to be so silly, my cheeks has to show him that I’m so shy
and nervous! It’s shameful to just stand before him with those spectacles and
those plenty of books to prove to him the more that I’m the loser of all this
school!
-please!
Stop it khushi! Wait!
Payal
looked in her purse to find her small mirror and then she handed it to Khushi
-look in
it!
-oh no! I’m
horrible Payal!
-please!
Take a look!
Khushi
obeyed
For her,
she can’t see what the others see…
Her eyes
behind her spectacles are wide and with their hazel colors are just so charming
Her milky
skin is pure and perfect as a baby skin
Her lips
are naturally pink
And her
long hair…
Suddenly,
Payal stands up
-are you
convinced?...now, come on! the break is off! Time to get back to class!
-but Payal!
I’m always the one who tell you all! I confessed for you about my only secret
and look! You didn’t tell anything about you!
-I have
nothing to tell!...my life is so boring! I have no crush at anyone!
-I can’t
believe you!
Khushi
pouted
-yes! You
can! Come now!
Khushi
smiled finally and followed her friend
Payal is a
great friend but she never shared her emotions or opinions with khushi…khushi
realized this but she wants to always give space to her friend
to never lose her, she never pushed her to
speak
flashbacks
ended
*************************************************************
Payal?
Khushi
laughed at how stupid she was!
But all
this was behind…it’s only the past
Now, she’s
khushi…
She’s 25
She’s so
confident about herself
She could
look at herself In the mirror and tell that she’s amazing…
No…she’s
ok…
Still she
can’t admit she’s ok…it’s difficult for a girl who lived all her life thinking
she’s a loser to believe that she’s ok
Even if
she’s late she walked to her room and looked at herself in the mirror
She’s ok!
She’s ok!
She kept
saying this again and again…this task helps her a lot…
