My First Love Letter - Part 1

           My First Love Letter

Majority of people imagine a lot of things to happen in their lives. And I am no exception. I have written one of things I imagined "how it would be if I wrote a love letter", after few reviews it’s finally here ;)

And as always a disclaimer, all characters of this story are fictional and any resemblance to anyone dead or alive or to be born is purely coincidental.

Vikram was waiting near the gate of his college. He was having the tensest moments of his life, sweating profusely… Pin drop silence in his mind, even the slightest movement was catching his attention. All the rehearsals he did the previous night were in vain. He was going to do one of the toughest tasks…

It all happened during his PUC. Vikram was a happy go lucky guy, he never bothered about anything, he came to college every day and used to enjoy each day. His priorities were friends, movies and last but not least studies. God is a great screenplay writer, he introduced a twist in his tale...

Admissions had started for the first year students and as always he came to college that day too… College was so vibrant that day. Fresh faces, loads of energy…

Every college has one thing bonded to it… “Love”.

Vikram seeing around, saw a Girl hitting on boy’s head for forgetting to wish goodnight, and imagined what she will do if he forgets to wish her on her birthday and started laughing within himself. He too wanted to experience all that… May be much more than that, praying god for the same and suddenly someone broke his thoughts…

“Excuse me, where can I find the admission cell?” asked a girl…

“Go straight and first room on the left” replied Vikram

“Thank you”, replied the girl and started walking towards the admission cell.

Vikram started feeling that he knew that girl, and started thinking what her name was…

“Shreyaa!!” he called out… hoping it to be her name!!!

“Yes, how do you know my name?” asked the girl…

“Oh god! Don’t you remember me?” exclaimed Vikram.

“Mmmmm, I’m really sorry!! I don’t remember “, replied the girl with a sad face.

“I am Vikrammm!! We were neighbors till 6th standard, you forgot?” asked Vikram.

“Hey Vikram!!! My god… How are you? It’s been very long time, so I couldn’t recognize you. You were very lean then and now you are so handsome, so couldn’t recognize… Chorrrry” replied Shreya.

Hearing the cute ‘Chorry’ his soul began playing guitar made of his heart and the veins…

“So Shreya, you need any help with the admissions?” Vikram asked Shreya and she replied “Yes please, this admission process is very tough… Help me”

Vikram guided Shreya towards the admission cell and helped her with the whole process, admission was done and both were about to leave. Now Vikram didn’t want to let her go! His mind has various ideas to ask her phone number but nothing came out of his mouth. And suddenly he heard…

“Vikram give your number no, I would call you up if I needed any help” asked Shreya.

Vikram soul wanted to jump out of joy but he controlled and pretended as if he didn’t want to give the number… by then Shreya said “It’s ok if you don’t want to give the number Vikram. Bye” and started to leave.

Vikram slapped himself and called her “Hey Shreya wait, wait… Actually I don’t remember my number so was thinking, here’s my number”, gave the number and Shreya left. Vikram had forgot to take her number and started scolding himself for over acting in front of Shreya…

First working day was after one week and he had to wait till then to take her number or to meet her again… The whole day he ended up cursing himself, dreaming about Shreya and thanking God for blessing him with an Angel when he had only asked for a good girl…

Next day Vikram woke up around 10 a.m. in the morning and again scolded himself that he missed a cute girl. He completed his daily routines and checked his mobile for notifications.

“29 Missed Calls, 63 Messages” his eyes popped out and was surprised that Shreya called him so many times and sent him so many messages. He clicked on the view button..

12 Missed calls from Kiran

15 Missed calls from Govinda

2 Missed calls from Customer Care

And Messages “Saaley, meet us tomorrow!! You are dead” – Kiran – 40 messages

“Vikram trust me, we are going to break your bones!!” – Govinda – 23 messages

Suddenly he remembered, they had a plan of going to a movie the previous evening in Kiran’s car, the tickets and car keys were with Vikram. He sat with his hand on his head and started calling back Kiran and Govinda to explain things. He told them he was lost thinking about a girl and he forgot about the plan. Friends were convinced after he told them he’ll never think about that girl again and then rescheduled the plan to that day. Vikram got ready, went out with his friends, he enjoyed a lot and returned home. After returning he noticed that he had forgotten his mobile at home, there were 2 messages and a missed call.

1 missed call from unknown number.

“Hey senior!! Are you busy??? Shreya here :) “

“Vikram thank you so much for helping me the other day!!”

Vikram all of a sudden couldn’t believe his luck, Shreya had messaged him!! He immediately jumped on the bed and replied “Hi Shreya, Don’t mention. You are my friend and need not thank for such small things”

After a while Shreya replied “So sweet of you:)”

“You are much sweeter than me ;) “replied Vikram

“How is that???” asked Shreya

“All ants in my home are trying to eat my phone after I saved your number ;) “Replied Vikram

“Ahum ahum trying to impress me Vikram???” asked Shreya…

“I need not, because you are already impressed ;) ” replied Vikram
