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. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oEtwY2TeU
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.” 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5qn2QHQ9l
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5nbuw3vM0
"Rohit, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to the office?" She said in an interrogative tone.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ019PHWPptz
"I took an off from the office,” he stammered in a hesitant tone. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBCXNsF5qf
"Why?" she asked.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gzr8gp6VT
“I was already late for the office and water is jammed in most of the areas. I have informed the boss.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPQIdYacAb
Before Natasha could say more, Rohit said, “Your work is done?”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmxKTNq80l
“I forgot some important documents at home. I am going back,” she said, “Why were you waiting here for the past two hours?”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVCKUtTK95
Rohit didn't say anything. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYHWklsrY3
“Leave that, tell me did you eat something? Because I am hungry right now,” she said with a curious look on her face.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ajewEFOC
“No. I didn't feel like it.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlLZnfrCr2
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXHFxRCn1Z
“As you wish,” Rohit smiled.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbAlFDkaAh
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. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO8YiipmhO
“So, Rohit, how is the job?” she asked while sitting on the chair opposite to him. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cfuvxXPAd
“It is good. The work culture is particularly good but promotions are hard to get. So, I am looking to switch.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hQ6qf9AFw
“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. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRy0JcnpYg
“Yes, what do you want to say?” he said with a curious look on his face.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm0PxLKKmb
“Actually... I... I....,” she hesitated, “There is nothing.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL8MPj9L0Z
“If there is something you want to say, please say it without hesitation,” he said, thinking keenly about what that could be. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjxUQLDm0L
“It's nothing. Forget I said anything,” replied Natasha with a mysterious smile on her face. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXrURl1hnV
Meanwhile, a voice came from behind, “Sir, your order.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMpioWfoOw
Both of them wolfed down the pizzas within a few minutes. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryJA04jcuV
“How was it?” asked Natasha, raising her eyebrows. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpREgWaesp8
“Can your choice be bad?” Rohit smiled.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy9BPCBkMF
Natasha chuckled, “Of course! You should feel lucky that you have a friend like me.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cmhRkYByw
“I think we should leave. It is already getting late,” said Rohit, getting up from his chair. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1gKnI6eMs
“Yes, let's go,” said Natasha, taking her purse from the table. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMQ97TyROj
It was still drizzling outside. They sat in the car.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTKrkgEb3C
“It’s such beautiful weather,” Natasha said with an air of excitement in her voice. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSbffXQuQZ
“I will never forget these moments. My first long drive with you,” Rohit muttered to himself under his breath. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVf7S4ViY4
“Rohit, where is your phone? Let me play some music.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjVZ5QTxHa
Rohit handed over his phone to her. Natasha played the song107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD7ReVqQ8T
“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”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl52II7lHD
“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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BhsUpHPEe
“You still Remember?” she said with excitement on her face. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa37XkBK7SV
“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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDnC7bRiDR
“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. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zcb3ewjsw
“I wish I would have never met you,” Rohit whispered while glimpsing at her hands. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLSnNXGg9R
“Did you say anything?” Natasha asked.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40tFnC10vw
“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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyQfkxHUAQ
“Rohit, remember earlier I said that I had something to tell you?,” She said with a bit of hesitation in her voice.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCXW1H8KzR
“Yes, what is it?”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEs1VntPKB
“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. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrxHVM08lr
“Thanks for the umbrella,” Natasha said while opening the umbrella. 107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69RcgubxiK
“You didn't want to tell me that thing now?” Rohit said with a serious look on his face.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vhEuEXL8H
“I will text you tonight. Bye!” She closed the door and left.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOpLDVjR7N
“Bye,” Rohit said with a mysterious look on his face, still thinking about what she might have to say107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelR25lcm3l
