CCD

Ritvesh was fully excited about his meeting. He had bought a new dress for the festival. The festival was the very next day. But he was neither bothered about wearing the new dress on the festival day nor about the festival. His festival had already begun. 

He was so profusely excited that he reached CCD at 4 pm and kept waiting till 5. He would have looked at his watch for about 1000 times in one hour. People at CCD were scared whether he was some kind of anti social element waiting to blow up the CCD. His anxiety kept growing with every passing minute. Half an hour more passed and still no sight of the girl. He kept consoling himself by saying that "Girls always like making the guys wait." After what seemed like years he looked at his watch which showed 7 pm. He was depressed and frustrated, was about to leave when he saw the same elegant walk. He did not know how to react. He was obviously angry but at the same time happy that she turned up. She came and grabbed a chair and sat down next to him and started off

"Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry. I am really sorry that I made you wait for so long. Actually what happened was......"

"Please. Please do not say anything. Anything that you say will not make me happy. And whatever you say will indeed eat into the time we are left with. Lets just not talk about things that happened in the past and things that went wrong. Lets be happy that we atleast made it and we are here now. I am sorry if I am being a little rude."

"You are not rude but I would say that you are frank."

The conversation continued with the usual 'knowing each other' questions and answers. Raksha finally looked at her watch and it said 9 pm. It was getting late for her so she said that she had to leave. Ritvesh wanted to stop her and wanted to talk more, wanted to know her even more but something inside just stopped him from doing so. They called it a day and left.

On his way back home Ritvesh had his mind completely occupied with the thoughts of Raksha. He mind was completely cluttered with her images, images of her smile, images of her lips pursed when she was thinking about something, all the images that his mind has from the past two hours. He did not even feel that he was riding, he knew he was not. He was infact floating. He thought to himself "Is this what they call Love or Is this the general attraction that any guy usually feels when he meets a girl? I have met other girls before but never got such a strange feeling. I am confused but right now even confusion feels awesome. Let me wait till time answers my questions and clear my confusion. Till then I shall be confused."
