The Journey Begins...!!

It was 10 o’clock at night. Done with the dinner, a lovely girl in the early twenties was planning to retire on her bed with her favourite novel. As she started flipping the novel in hand, her phone blinked. Opening the text on her mobile, a surprised yet beautiful smile crossed her lips. Gazing at her was a rather awkward question from the guy she was just thinking about. “Is it really possible to tell someone else how one feels?” asked the text gently.

God! How she hoped the text meant the same as she thought. How she hoped that the question was for her. How she expected him to think about her while asking that.  But she did not want to seem so excited or so nervous about that. Thinking for a second, she started typing the words. As soon as she clicked enter, a broad smile came to her lips and reached her eyes.

In some other city, tension was in the air of a beautiful room of a big house. The room depicted of boyish presence everywhere. The pile of clothes on the bed, pairs of shoes lying deserted on the floor, charger overloaded with mobile phones ,laptops and tablets, walls covered with wallpapers of footballers. 

Unable to sit silently at a place, a handsome guy of early twenties, kept roaming forward and backward in his room. Looking constantly at the screen of his mobile phone, he kept waiting eagerly for any response to his weird question. The injury through accident encountered some days before was creating a dizzy feeling in his head. The delay in response is making the feeling miserable and wonderful at the same time. Just as he thought of dropping another message,  his phone blinked and so his eyes.

“Yes it is. If the feeling is true enough, there is every chance that other person will understand”, stated the message. This positive yet neutral reply was enough to boost up his confidence. He could totally feel the wide grin across his face.  With more confidence in himself and her, he started talking about what was bothering him.

He told her about the feeling of restlessness, about his desire to express his feelings to someone. But he never named the girl. His move was so smart and yet so fearful. He did not want to make any mistake which could snatch her from him. Her heart pounded at every message of him. His seeking advice and his feelings for someone was arousing lovingness in her mind. Crossing her fingers, she was praying continuously that the girl should be her. The whole idea of him expressing his feelings to her caused to increase her breath. She could feel a deep flush across her cheeks.

Brushing her thoughts aside, she advised him not to worry at all and go straight to the girl with his arms wide open and convey his message. Being a nice friend, she tried to boost him in whatever way she could. Knowing her solution to his sweet problem, he felt somewhat relieved yet he wanted to know what was going on in her mind. Whether she will approve the idea that the girl of her dreams is the same girl he was talking to. He did not want to take the risk so he promised her to talk to the girl very soon.

Besides this, neither of them had sleep in their eyes. They wanted to talk to each other, know each other better. In a way, they were both so alike, feeling the same sensation and reluctant to admit. In a way they were so made for each other, that they could not stop talking about the silly little things just to talk to each other. 

They talked about their common friends, the older time they spent together. Times when he started noticing him. Times when she used to glance at him. About the things they noticed about each other. About the things they felt for each other. About the things their friends noticed about them. There was so much to talk. Time kept on moving yet they both kept staring at their mobile screens, chatting, straining their eyes. They were like two young fools, who were friends, who supported each other, adored each other secretly and unknowingly about their own feelings.

That marked the beginning of endless talks, grinning faces, sleepless eyes and that night continued till dawn……!

Their trance broke down when the clock struck 7 in the morning and the sun rays started entering their rooms. Still unable to sleep, they decided to welcome this new morning of their lives. So they walked out of their houses and welcome the sun rays with warm smiles.

That last night changed everything!

They were friends before but the milestone had crossed and lead to the creation of a more beautiful and irresistible bond between them.  

The bond of Trust, of Friendship and needless to say Love. Latter was written across their faces but yet to be confronted by them.
