"Dedicated to the world, whom I could once hold in my arms"
I: The First Meeting
I pick up the pen and the memories start flashing in my mind.
It was my first day of high school, I was eager and anxious. Sitting in the class I was trying to observe and understand the surrounding around me when suddenly someone entered through the door,
It was 'Her'
She looked really cute, with her charming smile, and her beautiful hairs that she tucked behind her ear, her pale skin and her doe eyes that caught my attention the most, she had me wondering what her name was.
During the lunch break in cafeteria, I plucked up the courage to go and talk to her. I sat beside her and gave a warm smile and she smiled back. Gosh! only if she knew how fast my heart was beating at that moment. Trying my best not to stutter in front of her, I introduced myself,
"Hi! I am Dev."
"Nice to meet you, I am Aastha"
We talked for nearly fifteen minutes about school and the classes we're taking and sharing little details about ourselves--she is a nerd, and an introvert, has the same music taste as me, and has strict parents. Those fifteen minutes were the best time of my life, I wished the conversation continued and the lunch break never ended.
Over the next few days we only made eye contacts and every single time our eyes met, she took my breath away and my heart started beating so fast as if my chest would explode. My mind went completely blank and the only thing I could think of was how beautiful she was, as if she was an angel fallen from heaven.
She had a complete toll over my thoughts. Every single night before drifting to sleep, I used to recap about the day and her thoughts made me smile (or blush) like an idiot. I could now perfectly understand what the idiom 'butterflies inside the stomach' meant.
