Rohit was still standing outside the college gate, thinking about every possible thing he could have done or should not have done to impress Natasha, thinking about how life would have been had she been a part of his life. He was lost in his world of thoughts, walking back and forth shifting his weight from one foot to the other. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf7vSnTJuc
Suddenly, he saw a crowd of students pouring out of the college. He was immediately drawn out of his world of thoughts, suddenly feeling excited and nervous at the same time, excited about meeting Natasha and having an opportunity to drop her home, nervous about what he would tell her about what he was doing here outside her college all day, “I want to spend some time with her but what should I say to her? I can't tell her that I have taken a leave just to drop her home so that I can spend some time with her. She would judge me for being so unaccommodating. She might become furious.” 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Z9o1caPC
An ocean of thoughts was crossing his mind and he was getting more nervous with each passing moment when Natasha arrived and looked at Rohit still standing at the college gate.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXmcMATgFk
"Rohit, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to the office?" She said in an interrogative tone.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1iImstGDv
"I took an off from the office,” he stammered in a hesitant tone. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWvUjcxG9f
"Why?" she asked.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsliXtIS1sh
“I was already late for the office and water is jammed in most of the areas. I have informed the boss.”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLByzjmon7R
Before Natasha could say more, Rohit said, “Your work is done?”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaRzcfz6fJ
“I forgot some important documents at home. I am going back,” she said, “Why were you waiting here for the past two hours?”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlw2jVoX3V
Rohit didn't say anything. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeusYKTr6T
“Leave that, tell me did you eat something? Because I am hungry right now,” she said with a curious look on her face.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs1zIsFg5O
“No. I didn't feel like it.”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ruZGp4JwB
Natasha interrupted, “Come, let's go and eat from a famous pizza shop here. I used to go to this shop during college time,” she said fluently.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJHhkZjICz
“As you wish,” Rohit smiled.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvttYQhIomI
They walked to the shop and sat inside. Natasha gave the order, “You will love this,” she said while holding the menu in her hand. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFbI1FfNVc
“So, Rohit, how is the job?” she asked while sitting on the chair opposite to him. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN20iMCMKOh
“It is good. The work culture is particularly good but promotions are hard to get. So, I am looking to switch.”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL86zDz6VG
“Oh! I see,” she said with a serious look on her face, “Rohit, I have to tell you something,” she said in a hesitant tone. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WnvS5U4yN
“Yes, what do you want to say?” he said with a curious look on his face.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRoOlz0VX2
“Actually... I... I....,” she hesitated, “There is nothing.”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBHIyZmdnC
“If there is something you want to say, please say it without hesitation,” he said, thinking keenly about what that could be. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF2P53T6dL
“It's nothing. Forget I said anything,” replied Natasha with a mysterious smile on her face. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBUbxlPE1
Meanwhile, a voice came from behind, “Sir, your order.”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjWVUAbwzz
Both of them wolfed down the pizzas within a few minutes. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1BhMoJGry
“How was it?” asked Natasha, raising her eyebrows. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk79U94xSpK
“Can your choice be bad?” Rohit smiled.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWmc0RjvlX
Natasha chuckled, “Of course! You should feel lucky that you have a friend like me.”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAHzdTurGm
“I think we should leave. It is already getting late,” said Rohit, getting up from his chair. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c5jTm8SDr
“Yes, let's go,” said Natasha, taking her purse from the table. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkaC1WzcWq
It was still drizzling outside. They sat in the car.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRj9iuxszX
“It’s such beautiful weather,” Natasha said with an air of excitement in her voice. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrjPUzACD3
“I will never forget these moments. My first long drive with you,” Rohit muttered to himself under his breath. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcDzgqXVdu
“Rohit, where is your phone? Let me play some music.”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGy4zo9fQs
Rohit handed over his phone to her. Natasha played the song61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwllH2dHdL
“In the dark night sky, he searched for sun
His was an illusion that she was the one
Her smile for him was a light so bright
Guiding him through the darkest night
His presence for her was just twilight,
A presence of warmth barely in sight”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetKaPTxzrz
“I remember you sang this song at the farewell party. It is your favourite song, right?” said Rohit with a melancholic look on his face.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lnc0MQNIF
“You still Remember?” she said with excitement on her face. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp90VGWBKT
“Of course. I also remember you were dressed in a pink top with midnight black jeans. And you were also carrying a purse with you,” Rohit replied.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8B0IdplbG
“You remember me more than I do. I am so lucky to have a friend like you. Friends like you are rare these days,” Natasha said with a heaviness in her voice. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8kLJdIOo
“I wish I would have never met you,” Rohit whispered while glimpsing at her hands. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlbVZpn95X
“Did you say anything?” Natasha asked.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfXrmiTByI
“Nothing! Here's your stop. You can take my umbrella with you. It's still drizzling,” Rohit said while handing over the umbrella to Natasha.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmIkZoFvJA
“Rohit, remember earlier I said that I had something to tell you?,” She said with a bit of hesitation in her voice.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMvVg6aayU
“Yes, what is it?”61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx2ZtuKnsw
“I will tell you about it in text. For now, I will be heading home. It's getting late,” Natasha said while getting down from the car. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fIlHXLunP
“Thanks for the umbrella,” Natasha said while opening the umbrella. 61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1evVhyZuv
“You didn't want to tell me that thing now?” Rohit said with a serious look on his face.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNI3S2K64V
“I will text you tonight. Bye!” She closed the door and left.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMvfF820NO
“Bye,” Rohit said with a mysterious look on his face, still thinking about what she might have to say61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANUTy4y3Q9
