Love At First Sight
The 3rd story of my 10 love stories is based on true events that happened to one of my friend. The story is an old one. Its when he was in school. His family then lived in a village in Sambalpur District of Odisha, India.
His previous school had been a Boy's high school, where he had continued till 7th class. But his new school was a co-ed one. It had 2 storeys with 14 class rooms and and one room for office.But I don't get the point of having separate schools for Boys and Girls. I think by having separate schools, we are promoting gender discrimination. And it would be quite boring attending classes in absence of students from opposite gender. There is no incentive to work hard and get good marks. There are no rewards for finishing your home work before time. In the real world, both genders co-exist. So, why the need for such schools??
So lets return to our story, My friend was quite good in studies. He was the class topper in his previous school. He continued his good performance in his new school too. At the end of class 8 , he was again the class topper.
During , summer vaccation before the start of new academic session, her family got shifted to the village. She was admitted to his school and coincidentally in his class. My friend had missed the first week of 9th class due to illness. So he was naturally, the last one to meet her. Upon reaching school he heard everyone talking about her beauty. When he first saw her, he knew why she had become the center of everyone's attention. She was the prettiest girl he had seen (Don't expect me to describe the girl as i haven't met her or i did not ask him to describe the girl). It was love at first sight. He was speechless for some moments. But didn't share his feelings with anyone, he feared she might not appreciate his love and out rightly reject him. Six months passed by he just kept staring at her.
He then decided to give a try. He followed a strategy what i call is "Indirect Approach".I call it so because in this strategy you don't directly approach the girl and express your feelings.Rather you take help of her friends, who poison her mind in your favour. But theirs a risk this strategy, many times guys end up the friend, rather than the girl. So, what experts of love do is they make this friend their "Rakhi" sister. The good thing about this strategy is it protects one from public humiliation. After proposal, sometimes girls slap you or yell at you. There are many other strategies which i will talk in my later stories.
Slowly on the influence of her friends, she began talking with him.But in those days boys and girls sat on different sides of the class. Instances of quarrels between the two sides were frequent. The worst punishment in those days was asking a boy to sit among girls. I remember when i was in 6th class our class teacher, in order to bring discipline in the class, decided that boys and girls sit in alternate rows.
But my friend against all odds, was slowly gaining her confidence but their conversation was for brief period usually after the school got over.Then they would go to their respective homes. But they cherished these small moments that life offered them with. In villages you don't have parks or CCDs to hang out. Also families in villages lived quite close to each other, it was a like an extended family. If anyone sees you roaming with a girl, irrespective of what your intention was, news will reach your home faster than you reaching your home. And parents will welcome you home with brooms and sticks. It will be thrashing worth remembering.
To add to it, there are jealous love rivals. They are a breed of degenerate human beings who know they can not have the girl, so they try their best to sabotage others chances. One of them indirectly informed his parents about their relationship, but his parents didn't give much attention, thought he was exaggerating . But the class teacher in 10th class discovered it. He called him and warned him that he was doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. But he was in no mood to listen any of those non sense lectures, he was madly in love. He even had a bet with the teacher, he said i will prove you wrong by excelling in studies while being in relationship with her. He proved his point in pre-Board exam. But he failed in the Board exam.. Although he scored good marks, but 3 others from his class had scored more than him. His parents blamed the girl for his failure. He was sent to town for further studies and he never met her again. He last heard of her that she was a teacher in some school, but another friend said she was getting married to some businessman. His only repentance was he could never say a proper goodbye.
