Forgotten Love

Chapter 2 : First message

I joined my college which is entirely different but with little bit of happiness.My biggest sarrow during that time was that we were not allowed to use android phones in hostel. I was worried for it since I was a hosteller . Then 'athuve palakiduchu.... ' . Life went whole year with lectures,books and exams. I am basically a shy type person, so I show very less effort in making long conversations and in making friendship. I had very little friends, but my hostelmates are very sweet and they have taught me many life lessons.

First year was similar to that of school with a lots to study and work with. First year exams went so well and as results were out I was the university topper in a subject which was already expected by my faculties and their expectation didn't fail, I achieved it. That was one great thing that happened in my whole life and I Love those days.

Second year was little terrific with few terrifying staffs and subjects as well. Year was to end so it is the time for exams and results. I completed my exams and went home waiting for practicals timetable,also in fear of exams results that will be published after practicals. But now it's time to go home I felt and reached home.

As every hosteler reaches home all favours are made for them. The same happened, all I'm waiting for to go home is good food and comfortable sleep. I did the same.

Next day was festive celebration Day, where my father was busy getting ready and busy in making arrangements for the celebrations . Me as usual started searching for nice special programs to watch on TV ,also thought of checking out the message on social media. Whenever there is some special day it is necessary to send forwarded greeting wishes to all contacts on phone.

I inserted my sim into my Android phone and turned it on. Later I updated all the apps as the notifications popped up. I did all forward messaging wishing Independence Day. Later I was getting ready to leave home for attending rest of my practicals. At around 5 pm I remembered of transferring my sim card back into my basic model button phone. So I unlocked my android phone to remove sim. I found a notification on top of my phone which was sent at 1pm. It was sent by Mohit who is my schoolmate. I have never spoken to him in school. We were classmates in seventh grade I remember but was not sure. It was just a 'hi' message . I replied him a 'hi'and went offline. Then within seconds I got a reply message asking 'how r u? ' Then it was an usual conversation which continued for a while which was really a new,different and heart filled experience. I have talked to many of my school friends before but had no such immense and great feelings before,I don't know why.

Then I switched off my android phone and slept as I had to wake up earlier in the morning to return back to hostel but this time I planned to take my android phone along with me without anybody's notice at home and hostel.

Practicals went so well with lots of frustration and upsets which finally ended up. All these days I used to daily come online secretly checking for any message notification from him,but got nothing.

Then I felt really bad and decided not to think about him. After very long days, he texted me again and so it was again an usual conversation. And this continued for months. Whenever I come home I find his messages popping up which made me feel happy and excited. This went on for long.

One day when I was busy with my third year patient works, I had a phone call from him at 1.28 pm which I noticed only on 5.00pm. Later I thought I will make a missed call to him, but was little afraid. But I prepared myself to make him a call and rang him up. As soon as he picked up the call, I asked him "Who are u? " as if I don't have his number saved on my phone.

Then as intro went well, we had usual conversation ,but he had few guests at his home, so he hurried up ending the call.

That night was a special one for me, I still remember it.

As days ran like jet......

And today is Feb 13 and obviously tomorrow is Feb 14th - Valentine's Day. I guess he will text me tomorrow. My habit of checking his last seen is becoming so violent and I will really lose my control if he texts me tomorrow. But my long time expectation is that he should meet me surprisingly, it can even be on this Valentine's Day. I know the possibility is zero , but still my stupid heart longs for it. If he proposes me tomorrow then I would say "Mohit I love you, I really want to travel rest of my life with you ", but those are all my imaginations.

But he texted me the next day and was an usual conversation. At middle of the chat, he asked me "was anything special yesterday? ", for which I said yes.suddenly he was shocked but didn't show his emotions out. Later I said that I wish him celebrate his next year Valentine's Day with his Valentine , for which he said " I will definitely celebrate with you " and proposed me ,but it was too late I mourned within myself. I kept silent. But my heart was full of love for him. He started asking reasons for my silence. But I thought I had to think of this ,regarding him and more importantly regarding my family genetic coding (you remember).

I blocked him for few days. But he kept on texting me in other social apps, but I never replied him.

Thinking about him made me feel happy and good, but had war within my mind in accepting his love.

Days passed on, as I was busy focusing on my hospital duties and tensed with some college issues , but still I never failed to see his profile picture.

Checking his last seen and profile pic has become my habitual routine.i never missed seeing his pic.
