Virtual World Reality đđ
Why am I so attached to strangers and detached from people who are mine? A question that has been haunting me for a while now. I have opened up so much to a completely stranger giving him the key to all my secrets making myself vulnerable.
Yes, my social network friend. We became friends a little while ago and now I have become quite close to him. Inseprable.
But having told him all my secrets I feel vulnerable. I feel weak. I do not know how to overcome this fear.
Having been stabbed in the back by people I have trusted, now I feel telling unknown people is much more safer than telling the known one.
I hope you wont stab me like all the others did. You wont leave my hand when I hold on to with all the trust I have. The faith; if shattered again then I would never be able to gain it back nor will I trust anyone ever again be it known or unknown.
Have you ever wondered how life would change if you just got another chance. Have you thought that if you could go back in time and say that one thing you ached to tell her so many times, maybe things would have changed between the two of you? Well I have. I think about her every single day and think how wonderful it would have been if I couldâve just told her how much I loved her. But now itâs all in vain. She is getting married today, yes she is and all I am able to do is think back and analyze how I missed the chance.
Parvathi; she was just breathtaking. She was tall, perfect curves, had hair that was flawless and her smile, worth a million dollars. She was the perfect girl. She was my junior in college.
On the opposite, was me. I was the most introvert person in college. It took me a year to get acquainted with the girls of my class; it was difficult for me to look at girls. Having studied in a boyâs school throughout my life, it was difficult for me to even be with girls. With friends, classmates and others I was able to talk to girls after a year.
When she came I just fell for her. Love at first sight if you call it. And when I told my friends they were surprised of course, but they wanted to know what made me fall for her of all the people in college?
âWell, I had a strange reason, she looked like Anne Frank.â
Yes, I loved Anne Frank. I loved the way she smiled, her charisma, it was just magical. And I always used to wonder whether there would be a person with the same charisma and then there came Parvathi. I dint care about what others thought. To me it was just important that she was the girl I always wanted.
She knew nothing about it. Well, by now the entire boyâs hostel knew that I was in love with her and then the girls in my class knew and I bet some in their class would also know about it.
I had to start trying to let her know how I feel. But I was scared, scared as shit. Itâs not that I dint try, I did but nothing worked out. I went everywhere she went to, the cafeteria, the book store, everywhere but never got the guts even to say a simple hi. I would not even look into her eyes when she was passing by. I wanted to but I just couldnât. All I did was stare at her beauty without her knowing about it. My friends started to pressurize me to tell her my feelings.
Finally, one day while we were having an inter-college fest I decided to tell her, I went to her class, told my friends to call her out, my buddies did so and then when she came out I went numb. I dint know what to say. So I stared with a very odd sentence on asking her regarding her residential area.
âArenât you from Vettur?
âNo I am from Attipara.
Well they are places of complete opposite directions. Having realized about the blunder I just made, I lost all the confidence to talk to her and I left the place. That was a disaster, my first ever conversation with her was just the worst of all. My friends consoled me in all way possible. And then a friend of mine gave me an idea,
âHey, why donât you try the virtual world? Send her a friend request in facebook, get acquainted and tell her how you feel.â
That was a good idea, and so I sent her a friend request, but she dint accept that, after days I cancelled it and sent it again, nope this time too she ignored. It was not that she was inactive or something, she had in fact accepted the friend requests of other guys in my class but not mine. Finally, after sending her a friend request 5 times, I gave up.
My friends dint, they badly wanted to help me out. So a friend started trying on my behalf. We both used to travel by the same bus to college. The bus would first pick up the boys from hostel and then the day scholars, so everyday he used to save a seat for her next to me, and whenever she got in he would just offer her the seat, but every time she refused. And that was when I slowly started to realize that maybe she really had no interest in me. I still was in love with her, but dint want to try anymore.
One day, a senior of mine called me and asked me regarding her.
âI hear that you like this girl Parvathi, is it true?â
âYesâ I murmured
âForget about her bro, I like her now and she is mine that is allâ
âExcuse me, you canât just tell me to forget about her, I liked her even before you. She canât be yours.â
Well I was fighting for a girl who doesnât even know that I exist.
âWell then, lets both tell her about what we feel and let her decide whom she wants to be withâ
If I was able to tell her that, then even after a year and a half I wonât be just looking at her, rather she would have actually become mine. I was a chicken. But I just was like that, I couldnât do anything.
This guy started doing tricks, she was sitting next to him in bus, they were seen along quite often, and a month or so later I came to know that she was with him and that they were both in love.
Today they are getting married. I wish I had a second chance that day during the fest to tell her how I felt about her, I wish I was not such a pussy and had told her about my feelings. I wish if only I could go back in time and fix everything up. I just wish⌠I just have never felt the same for any other girl the way I felt for her. She was my real life Anne Frank. I just wish I had done something. I wish I got a second chance.
