Infetuation

Just a mention before the story, today... i discovered something which did not help me a bit. For sometime i thought may be things never pan out well. But then as the day progressed, i saw it as a way of god telling me that just do your bit and forget about the results. If you are a good human being, everything will fall in place.

Back to Mukul, Well so as he was reaping the fruits of this teenage, it was not a smooth sailing for him. He was seeing that girl all around him, would spend all his time sitting in front of his gate to get one glimpse of the her and when she will pass through, his heart would again start beating fast. This process continued for sometime. Then one day mukul was playing cricket again trying to get the ball in her house when he saw her outside the house. There were two kids who would be around 9 years of age along with her. The kids looked interested in cricket and suddenly Mukul's brain went into the 5th gear working all round. He suddenly went to the kids and asked them, hey would you also like to play with us. In his whole life he had never had so much confidence to talk to any stranger but here he was standing in front of a girl he liked and two boys he had not seen before and asking them to play. Well, he suceeded in his venture and in fact got to talk to the girl as well but only for a minute or so to get her permission. Now Mukul had thought this whole thing a long way already. He played with them everyday and gradually got to know more about their didi, her name Nitika. Now still there was lot more to be discovered.
He had to somehow get into conversation with her, but at that age among children, only two kind of relation exist, didi or bhaiya which Mukul never wanted is least to say.

This thing continued for 2 weeks, when once he saw Nitika going somewhere with books. There was some english writing competition and he found out that he could actually meet her again there. So he decided to go there and participate. Unfortunately he was a bit late and made it their when she had already left. He was bit dejected but still, something is better than nothing. He looked at her answersheet. All her details were there on that paper. Well to Mukul's disliking the data was not quite good. She was in 8th Standard and easily 2 years elder than him. He was shocked that how could she be that older, and the second thought which came to his mind was that how could he fall for such an elder girl. Well that day he got to know another thing, love or liking, or attraction or infetuation is way beyong the boundary of age, or any other thing. Its something which just happens and you can never plan.

Mukul took his steps back and may be his heart also understood the situation and he went back to his ownself not thinking about her anymore. He saw her quite a few times but never again that heart pounded again. Eventually when after four years he saw her once again somewhere, he wondered how could he have ever fallen for her even and that story lasted that time.

Mukul was becoming more sincere in his studies, and sitting with girls making life awkard for him, made him focus more on studies and less on notoriety. He eventually ended the class standing 4th in the class. Big achievement for him, so our sincere man was on his way to fulfilling his dreams.

7th standard is going to be more fun..... coz its just the beginning of youth, there is more twist to come up.
