Eleventh Hour

The first attempt

It has been three years that Ocean and Shelly started their friendship, wherefore, they are in 300L in Dwarka university. Maybe not a thing modified rather than the river of friendship they swum in without aversion for years but, for Ocean, it was no routine friendship neither does he acknowledge it owing to the fact that his emotion aroused.

Sometimes Ocean would be in isolation to conclude on the game to play because his emotion could be misfortune or yield effectively. It is unpleasant but he admits the friendship above every little thing which means to jettison everything he’s not ready for such. This goes ahead for succinct time then he comes to conclusion to free his mind to the one he selected.

Days after Shelly went to Ocean apartment for the usual visit, to gist, cook if needed to. Later the long dialogue and amusement, Ocean could play along but his heart won’t continue to put it into dark. He has to speak it out, whatever he thinks and wants. He made a path for his throat, he was ready to talk with courage. “It won’t and doesn’t go with his plans”. he has no knowledge of what to say, that was his first time in such circumstances. Anyway, he pulled together his faculty, courage and whole lot he could use to split sense out from his heart. “Yes, the talk could be worth an applause but it doesn’t”, his voice shakes and the talk won’t be considered. It never happened, “the talk” because Shelly won’t try to convince his innocent heart to take heed to her response.

“I have a boyfriend, fiance I meant. I can’t give it all away because of you………He stays somewhere far from this place, another town though,” Shelly responded.

“Shelly, just stop the drama, you’d never talk about him yet we had varies of discussions. This is not a trap for you but it’s what the heart wants and thinks is correct. Please Shelly don’t turn this down, I really love you,” Ocean begged earnestly.

. Shelly couldn’t aid it, she has no feelings for Ocean. Even if he is sick emotionally over this talk, Shelly won’t consider him. Instead the conversation seems like drama and one more thing, “humorous”. They were together till dusk in Ocean's room, there was not much chatting after Ocean heart was stoned.

He should be moody and disenchanted but, he would be considered as a feeble being to respond to the disgusting incident. He was a man but, “emotions surpass gender and title”.

How will I sleep tonight? That was Ocean thought all through. why? He is continually sick emotionally, once his heart is sent out for free he dearths control over it when if yield ineffective. Now shelly disregards his proposal, he feels severe pain like the world would vanish in the instant.

Now both of them are mute so Shelly goes over her messages on f*******: to reply to a hundred and thousand messages and disremembered one being stays beside her who beseeched for compassion to give an efficacious answer to his request.

Later a few minutes, “I would be on my way home,” Shelly tells Ocean.

She stood up to find her way out. Ocean won’t escort her due to the happening, Shelly knows as well the aftereffects of what she did. Both of them won’t be real and free. Ocean affirms to give her a call before it is black. Shelly uses the door later to wave goodbye to Ocean which is strange.

Before this time, Ocean would escort her on every visit at least for a lot of minutes. Now the friendship isn’t firm, “it could burst or hold”. That was Ocean greatest terror, the relationship and friendship he wished to make effective one of them without ending.

Ocean laid on the bed pondering why he was rejected.

“Am I not handsome?”

He asked himself a hundred and thousand questions, he could think not a thing. For the whole day he stayed in his room and went late to bed at night.Though he took the oath but he never called Shelly before he slept off.

Ocean was no novice again, he had Shelly as his first girl notwithstanding that he was abjured. Ocean speaks the same thing each time there was a convocation but Shelly was stubborn to it. She won’t talk again, her being the reigning princess, she would do anonymous things to guys when elevation talks about her beauty in the campus. She was one of top beauteous around the school. This get ahead between them until they went on a month break.

During the break when everyone went home, Ocean still reverence and expected a gladden outcome from Shelly. He talks about it, on f*******: together with countless calls but not a thing modified. Even if it is destined, many times we longed for what we can’t have, we still believed with time, commitment and hard work we could come to have every little thing our hearts desire.

“That was human instinct who stays to hope and die without the accomplishment of what he hoped for”

He confides in himself and his tactics, with time Shelly will be his own lonely. “But many times we are meant to perceive one another whose impact on our lives are differ to what we claimed to be right”.

For weeks Ocean lived on this fact but he won’t disturb Shelly like he persistently does, that way he won’t lose her to be the loser.

Months after, he was weary to follow his heart. “his instinct lied because it guessed”. He feels the relationship won’t be of much benefit than agony so he hoped Shelly would be the best friend of all time.

“Shelly won’t be mine” Ocean's remarks each time he comes to remember Shelly.

Now the world knows both of them are not made to domicile under a roof. “Just friends and nothing more”. Ocean would concede than swimming in the pool of relationships which could be ambiguous. This great strive of Ocean never moved Shelly to take every little thing solemnly. Despite the fact that the gate of hearth was shut to discern the friendship and shield it.

Ocean doesn’t change, he goes on with his deeds and trails after what he cares for, to shield them all.
