First Love

 Sunidhi Smriti Horo

Class 7 Section A

 

She contemplated, closed her eyes. Her vision took her back to those days, days when she did not care about what her present actions would lead to.

 Love stories were boring; love songs were something unheard of:

 And she, a tomboy. Until you happened. Until you changed her

Until she found herself entrapped in love for you. Stupid, isn't it?

 Smiling without any reason, humming love songs, love stories began to make sense. Your name found inscribed on her books.

Embedded in her heart, day dreaming lost in thoughts. Imagining a hypothetical world comprising only of you and her. You, basically “Poor girl” Does not know what lies ahead ! Insecure thoughts .

A care free mind, infatuation, a loony idiot obsessed with you, she did not know what fate had in store for her. Years passed,

Her Infatuation – Oh, love grew staring at your pictures was something she got accustomed to stammering in front of you, she scolded herself to make changes in herself to make you notice her,

 “Poor girl” I sighed again , but I was just a spectator.

Yes , the day finally arrived ,

When you turned her down

Asked her to stop being foolish ........

Rejected her…

 Shattered,

 Betrayed,

Numbed,

 As if reality slapped her hard.  She said “I have been so foolish “.

 I just smiled and replied back “Now you finally grow up ” .
