It's 2005 and Avira Sharma,a girl with medium height and wavy hair,pretty in her own way.She's a girl of Joy,a girl of happiness and a girl with brain ;) got into the cities famous university campus as an engineering student with her 2 best buddies priya and deepak,who are her besties since +2.She is a foodie,talks a lot and loud,bubbly,fearless,who mostly prefers wearing skirts(she feels that,long skirts can cover her heels and she can look tall ;)) and friends rarely saw her blushing.She is good at her acad's too.After 3-4 months she made herself comfortable in the campus.One fine day,as part of her daily routine headed to the central canteen to have her favorite strawberry ice-cream.
She was with the ice cream talking to other bunch of students around her,imitating that day's lecturer(her voice was only audible in the canteen) and then her eyes involuntarily moved on to a guy,who seemed damn cute and lovely to her.She couldn't take her eyes off from this guy who looked stylish in his own way,laughing classy with his friends.Suddenly,that guy could find it and he looked at avira and she, with in seconds,moved her eye-balls and got into the conversation with her friends again. Both of them,in between their conversations,tried to look at each other from the corner of their eyes :).She didn't want to leave the canteen that day,but her friends made her to come out,then avira showed this guy to priya,"Look at that guy in green shirt!Don't do it immediately,he will get to know,observe him slowly".
And priya,did'nt give a damn to her word,immediately went and saw that guy.That guy noticed this.Priya came up and asked avira,what's so special about him.Avira started blushing,"Just look at him,he's so cute and his smile,ufff..".Priya was shocked and some how managed to take her back to the hostel.The very next day,during lunch break,priya started telling the details of the guy to avira."The guy you showed me yesterday,He is Abhay Thomas,a student from law school,he will be out of the campus in 2007,people call him AB".Avira was shocked,and priya could read that expression of "How did you get this?" on her face.
Priya blasted a bomb that, deepak was school mate of AB.Avira was so happy,she was on cloud 9 and blushed again and again and she felt the name 'tom' would be cute and apt for him.That evening she couldn't wait to go to canteen.And her eyes started searching for him,she found him at the corner,he observed this,he blushed too.AB is a guy who speaks less,laughs classy.He wanted avira to come and sit at his table and avira wanted him to greet her.Then the saviour entered,deepak.He sat with the girls and found AB aka Tom sitting alone,he called him to their table.Avira's stomach filled with butterflies.Tom sat opposite to her.They both wanted to stare at each other,but both couldn't even look at each other's face.If at all,any eye contact was made,avira would suddenly move her eye-balls.
Both of them could feel a magical spark between them.A feeling that was so magical.They waited for evenings, to have a glance at each other with the help of this common friend at the canteen.Days passed but they never spoke to each other,their eyes spoke a lot than the words.Avira would get shy,blush silent and her heart beat was too high when tom was around.And tom,he would just enjoy this magic,felt the same.It became a daily routine for both of them,at canteen.Suddenly their faces would bleam with joy when ever they come across each other.Avira wouldn't be in her skin,she eats less infront of tom,she would speak in low voice,she wouldn,t even burp!she felt that it would be embarassing before him.AB aka tom on the other hand,he tried to charm her more.Avira spent more than the usual time before her mirror,she applied her peach lipstick when ever she came across AB.
One day,an interesting topic came on to their table,brought in by deepak,"AB what kinda girl would you like?",AB's eyes wanted avira to look into them,avira's heart started beating at high rate.Then the answer came.."umm..a girl who wears lot of bangles and puts kajal and any girl would look gorgeous in onion pink dress",he looked at avira,but she didn't.The same question was posed to avira and she felt like shouting AB's name,but answered plainly,"a guy with good sense of humour".Avira wanted to go out for shopping,she searched all malls,got an onion pink skirt paired with a white lace top.Both their eyes searched for each other,every day.AB listened avira telling priya that she will wear blue dress the next day.And the next day,both were in blue,the other day both were in white.They both knew that they were deeply attracted to each other.
Avira would smile looking into mirror,AB spent more time under shower blushing.Class mates of AB noticed this change in him.The next day morning,AB was with his friends under a tree at the law school and avira wore that onion pink skirt and white top,with a dozen bangles on her right hand and repalced her spects with lens that day.Highlighted her large almond shaped eyes with dark kajal.She wanted to show herself to tom.She went to Law school in the morning that day in the campus,it was a beautiful block,she choose her school friend ritha as a reason to get there,she met ritha and the bangles sound reached the ears of tom,he turned,he could see avira prettier than usual,avira found that he saw her,she passed by his side wantedly,an that air,which blew over her,her skirt flew,her hair went messy,her bangles sounded more and AB could feel this attraction getting deeper.AB was faking to be a guy with good sense of humour.Both started trying to impress each other and were faking each other.
Next day was avira's birthday and that night she found AB's number on her mobile.At 12'O clock,AB after thinking many times called her,and the heart beat rose to extreme levels for avira,she picked the call,she heard his voice,he wished her,this is the first time that they spoke with the words.Silence ruled for minutes and then avira thought to break it,and wished good night.She wanted to send so many messages to him through mails,but they were only saved in the drafts.The next evening,no friends accompanied them,they were alone,they just wanted to jump into each other,but they can't.It was getting darker,avira thought of leaving,AB came along her side,he just put this song from his mobile"suraj hua madam...chand jalne laga".Both were walking,she just wanted to play with his hair,and he wanted to put his arms around her waist and walk.They could relate to the lyrics of that song,mainly with the sentence.."kya he mera pehla-pehla pyaaar he".Her hostel came,he slowly took her name and wished her good night,she blushed and said "wish you the same tom,this name suits you",smiled and ran into the hostel.Both were in their dreams,recollecting those moments.Both enrolled into crafts club,that weekend it was pottery and students were asked to choose their partners,everyone went on,avira and AB were left,wantedly they were waiting for each other.
Yes,they are a couple,their fingers touched during pottery training,and AB found clay on avira's right cheek,he wanted to rub it,he called her,she looked into his eyes,that was the first time,that both of them looked each other clearly,Ab's fingers came close to avira's face,and she wanted him to do it,but her conscience didn't want this,immediately she got back and cleaned herself.They blushed again.Avira would read both their names,felt happy since both their names start with 'A'.She couldn,t believe that two years passed in this way and she felt so low as AB will be graduating and leaving.A day before tom's graduation day,she as usually met him at the canteen and with her eyes down,asked him to write the slam book for her,he wrote everything,and he wanted to write those 3 magical wors,"I LOVE YOU" in her slam book.He was about to write it and then his stupid friend dev came and urged him to come with him,AB handed over the slam to Avira and smiled and was in a rush.She read it for 100 times and blushed in her room.She found a paper in her bag,"Hope 2 c u tomorrow at wonderla clock by 10.30am-Tom :)".Wonderla clock is a spot in the law school,it was at the top of the building,it was named so because,one can get the entire view of the campus from that place and it seems wonderful.It was graduation day for AB.All the law school students were at the auditorium.
Avira wore her onion pink skirt again and AB rushed to the auditorium early because his name was second in the list.It's already 10.00,avira rushed from hostel to law school,she ran with joy,she climbed the stairs,she was in a hurry,she reached the wonderla clock.It's already 10.30,looking around for tom.Tom aka AB wasn't there,she called him,his mobile was turned off due to low battery.AB at the auditorium,found that his name was pushed to 8th place and feeling sorry for avira,he wanted to go there,he couldn't call her from the auditorium,he was so helpless.Here,avira waited for an hour,two more hours passed to say those magical word to him ,couldn't find tom.At the auditorium,they didnt allow students to leave till evening.Avira wrote a note "Waited for 2 long hours :(" and pinned it at the clock and went back to her hostel.AB was busy with his parents,friends and faculty,it was evening and this stupid friend,dev came upto wonderla clock for the last time to look at the campus,he found this note and laughed,found it stupid and threw it and went down.AB hurrily reached the clock,he knew,avira would leave some thing for him.He found nothing,with a small pain he went down and his parents hurried him to vacate the hostel.He called her...her mobile kept ringing,but none picked.Avira lost her mobile on her way back to hostel.AB left.Avira searched for her phone,couldn't find it,she felt a deep pain.Day's passed,avira used to look at the law school,felt the pain and moved.She got busy with her acad's,topped her class,her brilliance was famous in the campus.Grabbed a placement in one of the top companies.
It's 2014 now,Abhay Thomas a famous lawyer,got a call from a company to deal their case.They wanted him to meet the project manager to deal with the rival company.AB was inside the cabin,he waited for an hour,he could see a lady in pencil skirt,silky hair pulled into a pony tail talking on a phone,turned back.He noticed her sexy butt.He smiled and sat back,then this lady entered the cabin with a file in one hand and mobile in the other.It was Avira :O.Both were shocked to see each other and there was joy in avira's voice,a joy that can be seen when you meet your 'friend' after many years,"Hey Abhay(no more AB),How are you,glad to meet you here",Abhay smiled and with out any delay she got into the topic and explained him looking into his eyes.This time there is no more attraction between them.She could easily look into his eyes and speak,it was the same with AB too.Both of them wanted to wrap up their meeting by 7'o clock.
Their meeting was over,she wished him and got into her cab,her colleague's name Manas,flashed on her mobile.She took the call,"Arey baba,am coming to the restaurant,with the project,on the way manas",she always had a soft corner for manas,a sincere guy who was charming but she never noticed it.She didn't bother to apply her lip-stick,didn't mind about her messy hair.AB on the other side reached the shopping mall,where rebecca was shopping for her wedding gown.Avira got into the restaurant,manas was there sitting,he ordered a lot of food for her,she happily ate it and didn't feel shy to burp loud.Manas liked it,he wasn't a perfect guy,but he always liked avira for her nature and attitude.
He loved being embarssed when she spoke loud.Avira was in her own skin.It was VALENTINES DAY and manas took out a ring and said "Avira,will you marry me?I love you!".Avira was surprised,she shouted in joy and said "yes!!".Eveyone in the restaurant were panicked,but manas know how she reacts.He understands her.They were emotionally attached,not attracted.Avira herself didn't know that she loves manas.She was so much carried away in his company."She whispered,"I love you,too" and smiled.Rebecca,AB's fiancee,pulled him aside,"AB,though our parents matched us,i just wanted to tell this to you before we get married next week,I love you AB :)".AB smiled,he was comfortable with her,he looked into her eyes,and said he loved her too.
After a week,wedding preparations were high at avira's home.She and her mom were busy in cleaning the house and her mom found a bag at the corner of a rack.She pulled it down,she could see,avira's college day's dresses old and folded.Avira came up,she felt happy to see them,she found the onion pink skirt,it was still the same,she couldn't remind anything,he was one just friend of her during college and smiled at her stupidity,but she got up and messaged to attend her wedding that weekend,and she received a message from him stating "Sorry,yaar,my wedding is also on the same day".Both smiled.Avira's father called her to check the wedding cards brought home by manas.She winked at him,he blushed :)
The initial one was not a love story,it was an incident where two people were caught in deep attraction.They were not destined.They never loved or understood each other,they always tried to impress each other,they were faking with themselves.God knew this,that this magic would never last forever.The three magical words,weren't meant to each other.Avira was destined to spell those 3 magical words to manas and AB to rebecca.Time changes everything.Maturity makes you stronger.Both Avira and AB went busy in their lives,this change showed them new paths,they were destined to meet their people,whom they truly loved,who they never tried to impress,before whom they never faked,they were they,and those people loved them in that way itself. Manas and Rebecca may not be perfect,but they are truly perfect for Avira and Abhay :).
This story is dedicated to all those who felt that they missed some one in their life or still missing them or for anyone.Never let those 3 magical words feel cheap,if you are destined to be,those word will come from your side,you would become dare enough to tell them.They are meant to be only for the special one's of your life.You don't need to force yourself.Those words would come infront of the right people in true sense.God knows what is right for you,so never feel sad of missing anything,he will be always there for you.Just trust him and move on with the to-do works.:)
Hope you liked it :),thanks for reading!!
