A V N I N A S H

Once upon a December, I stumbled upon a pair of gorgeous doe Bambi eyes. It was the month of December when she joined the same tuition I was studying in. Small frame, small doe eyes, baby face, a dimpled smile. But her dimples were unique, just like her. She didn't have dimples on her cheeks rather they appeared below her lips whenever she smiled. She was innocent yet witty, her sarcastic attitude and sassy personality was what made me attracted towards her.

It wasn't love or something but she left me with mixed feelings always. Was it admiration? Crush? Attraction?Momentary liking? Or was it love? I was confused, and that's what always irked me about her. She was the chaos in my simple peaceful life, a trouble in paradise.

I didn't like her because she was some extraordinary beauty, I liked her because she was just Simran, she was herself more than acting on impulse. She wasn't fake or acted otherwise.

I was aware of her feelings towards me, I knew she had a crush on me during those school days, but I brushed it off thinking it was just stupid hormones fooling with her. But boy I was so wrong, she was all over the place. Whenever, wherever I'd go I would find her there. My friends started teasing me with her which irked me a lot.

She thought I wasn't affected but I was. I would feel giddy whenever she would glance at me. I would wait for her every day in tuition, I would not exit the class during lunch break not before I'd see her standing near the door. Without her knowledge, I'd seek glances towards her during sports practice, but I didn't make it obviously and I guess that was my mistake. That I never made it obviously and now it was too late.

My friends often made fun of us, shipping her together much to my annoyance. Back then I was confused about my feelings muddled in my chaos when I met Vidhi. Tall, graceful, full of smiles, and an ace in everything. She was my senior by one year.

She went to a all girl's school, we didn't share the same school or tuition. But I knew her because she was my neighbour. Her family had just shifted into the bungalow beside ours. Her father was in the shipping business and our families had several dinners together. At first, I didn't acknowledge her but slowly we started having a conversation and we instantly clicked. She was fun to be with, she didn't make me nervous around her, and my heart wasn't eccentric in her presence I was rather calm with her. She was simple but extraordinarily studious. She played violin, she was the basketball team captain and was a great orator.

My mother had a different liking towards her and she would do her very best to stick us together. More than her's I would find vidhi in our house. And that's when everything started.

After a year of our friendship, Vidhi confessed that she liked me. I was confused because I didn't feel the same so I turned down the offer. But then because of the continuous teasing and shipping with Simran, I acted on my impulse, in the heat of the moment I'd proposed to Vidhi to be my girlfriend which she happily agreed to.
