The next morning I woke up early, in order to make myself a bit steady. I was still yawning within every two seconds, this was funny, I felt like a hungry grizzly bear. Somehow, I managed to rumble out my bed. After completeing my morning routine, I opened my closet to dress, believe me it was really difficult to decide what to wear. Actually, I came to know how those girls manage, it require so much of determination to dress and make up. I was frustrated by looking at my own closet. Thanks to the heaven, that I got ready on time. I left the dorm and felt the need to feed my roaring stomach, so I went towards the mess.
I went and sat at a booth which was near window. I was really in need of air, especially my brain, to get rid of him. Gosh, I have barely seen him and I am already bewitched. He might be a good human, but his weird behaviour is making him a pest for me.
When I was staring at the window and chewing rice meal with curd, my gaze went towards the flowers at the garden. Memories of that letter came back to me. It was enough to kill my appetite. I immediately left mess and started moving towards my college. The day was different today, it had everything but not me. My mind was still somewhere else in my ‘LaLa Land’.
Suddenly, I remembered that he is a stalker and he might be stalking me, noticing every move I make. I felt like I was his prey, he was just as harmful as a hungry lion who is just waiting for the right time to pounce on his prey. The thought of it gave me goosebumps , it was enough to pull the rag below my feet, the more I tried to run, he could just catch me just easily. He was invincible, when it came to hacking.
The rest of the lecture went a bit rough, I was getting uncomfortable by thinking that he might be staring me from somewhere in the corner of the class. Even trying to hard to stay away from those viscious thoughts, I was getting nervous. He succeeded in finally casting the spell.
As today was a half day as per our regular schedule, so I decided to go feed myself first and rest at my place. It would be just me and my pillow. I headed towards the canteen as fiercely as I could. Luckily, my booth was empty. I took a usual lunch at diner and moved towards the booth.
I was peacefully eating and serving my power house. I didn’t made the mistake to check my phone, instead I decided to stay without it. I was still deciding whether to go to prom or not. As I didn’t had anyone who would ask me, nor I am that interested in anyone to ask them to accompany me to the prom. Suddenly, my eyes went towards the right of my booth. It was Ria and Rony who were dining 2 booths away.
They were enjoying themselves and getting cozy. I stared them for few seconds and immediately turned my heads towards the left, today was just not my day, I saw Avi with the powder girl who accompamied me flirting their heart out. I felt a pang of irritation in my head, I was regretting myself sitting at this place right now. I concentrated in finishing lunch and rush out of this place as quickly as possible.
When I gazed ahead, there was another couple. I let out a frustrated sigh, muttered slowly,” why today? I feel like, I have ditched him, why is he not normal”. I finished my lunch and rushed immediately.
The only question retorting here was that why he can’t be normal? why we can’t be normal? what is he scared of? why is he trying to be possesive and controlling, when he simply can’t stay with me?
I enjoyed the rest of the day by enjoying me time , full of guilt and him and his thoughts.
