Canteen Diary
(This story belongs to a college student from Uttrakhand Technical University. Name is subjected to change.)
Deepak was looking outside
the window desperately, taking sip of tea and sink into memories. Same place on
same chair but time had changed.
Deepak, Nishant, and Priya
were celebrating last birthday of Anshu. Team of four bachelors but well
committed. Everyone seems too happy to enjoy pine flavored cake. All were
gathered, but Anshu was still in search of someone, someone whom she love
madly, deeply, passionately, and someone without she feels incomplete. Amber, guy
with shy, another star of the league. He was different. His attitude,
expressive eyes and polite way of talking attract everyone but when it comes
about girls he was dumb.
Clock knocked 11:55 PM but they was no sign
of that guy. Anshu was in rush running through mind, ‘He might forget my
birthday, ‘No, No Today he was discussing something about me with some
batch-mate.
All eyes were struck on
clock, it was just few seconds left before party begun. All buddies gathered in
circle while Anshu was in center of the table. Candle were lighten up, knife in
hand but still she was waiting. Chants of birthday song started and all of
sudden lights off. OMG! A silence in whole canteen, a pin drop silence and
within a min a Guitar tuned up ‘Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
happy birthday dear love. Happy birthday to you.’
Light were up and Anshu
found a guy on his knees with bunch of red roses. He was there, her love Amber
in his favorite white shirt and denim jeans.
She was speechless, five min
passed still there were no word exchanged between them, suddenly she seated on
knees in same manner. ‘What the hell? You fool! Is it time to come? You moron
don’t you understand.’ She broke the silence of last ten minutes.
‘I love you.’ He said and
next a moment he was lifted in the air by people. And birthday bash was started
but it was on Amber. No matters whose birthday they were celebrating but
surprise was guy of shyness proposed her.
He was swinging in air, up
and down but his eyes were on her. She was again centered, tears were rolling
down her pink cheeks. Girls around her were cheering up and commanding to
accept.
‘I love you’ he speak as
loud he can. However his bum were messed up badly.
After the bum messing
session, cake had cut and party long for two long hours. But the one thing I
noticed. She neither respond on his proposal nor talked to him even he tried to
talk her but she make a space in no minutes.
Did she not love him? Or
there was something wrong between them? Or we misunderstand their chemistry? A
question struck in mare minds.
Wait for the next part of ‘Canteen
Diary’ on Friday 10th June.
