Before And After We Met

CHAPTER 4

Samaira

I am in the park near my high school. The stifling humidity clung to my skin, adding to mounting discomfort. My vision blurred, and a throbbing headache pierced through my temples. As I was standing in the park, my legs weakened beneath me and the world around me swirled into a hazy fog. Before anyone could react, my eyes fluttered shut, and my body slumped to the ground in a heap. I don't remember what happened to me after that. When I opened my eyes there was a guy who was asking me something I don't remember now but I was not able to understand because I was coming into consciousness. That guy gave me confidence for coping up with shrey. I am so thankful to him. I wish I could meet him again, his words are still on my mind. I forgot that I left my necklace on that bench. It was given to me by my mom. Because of the flashmob that came, I was not able to talk to him nicely. Please god, show me a way through which I can talk to him again. I want to thank him again for his help and the words he gave me.

I am with my mom, what happened with you today at school? Mom is the person in my life who knows everything about my life, all my insecurities and secrets. She is my best friend. So, mom, shrey is back. What? Mom said. She is the one who saw me suffer after our breakup, she was also shocked. Darling, I want you to stay away from that guy. Yes mom. I know what has happened earlier, I am not going to repeat my past mistakes. Good, mom said. I met a guy today, in the park. We spoke and he gave me a solution to the problem of shrey. We didn't talk much because of the flashmob. He got my necklace too, the one you gave me. Oh my god, it sounds great. Tell me is he handsome? You fell in love with him at first sight? Mom mom stop. There is nothing like that. Don't overreact. It's just that I like him as a person. I wish I had a friend like him in my life. I wish I could meet him again somehow.

Doorbell rang. Ananya and Ekansh are there at the front door. It's time to tell them everything that happened today with me. Hey, I am sorry for what happened to you today, ekansh said. Are you okay, Sam? Ananya asked me. Yes, I am alright guys. Let's go to my bedroom I want to give you both my life updates. I told them everything. Holy s**t! said by Ekansh. I think our single friend has fallen in love with that stranger. Shut up ekansh, don't act like my mom. We all laugh. Guys, is there any way by which I can meet him again? Let me think, ananya said. I have an idea, why don't you take the help of the popular "Find the stranger" site? Maybe he is also finding you. I immediately opened the site and wrote"hello, it's me Samaira, we met today in the park, it's my contact number, call me if you see this post". Typed and sent.
