I was born in a middle class Maharashtrian family in Mumbai, to the sweetest parents on earth. I was the only kid. I love my family. I always had lots of friends. I had everything a girl could dream of. My childhood was fun …well not all ..but mostly was.
I had a major crush on this guy who lived across the street when I was 15. He was tall handsome and had boyish good looks…..oh did I tell you I was a big nerd and was very focused on academics and didn’t have any time for all this …I had to focus on my board exams …...and soon I forgot about this crush deal.
I did well on my exams and took up science as my major in college and enrolled in extra coaching classes…for Physic, Chemistry and Mathematics.
It was the first day at Chemistry class and I walked into the classroom. Guess who I saw sitting on the last bench? My crush from a year ago.......he flashed me his million $ smile. And I was floored….all those feeling from a year before came rushing back to me! I did not understand 1 word of that lecture. All I wanted was the lecture to get over and go over to him and say hi.
The lecture got over, I walked out and waited for him to come out of the room…..he came out …..Said, “Hi” and I said hi back….I think that was our first conversation. We started talking, he was a little shy and talked only when talked to….I on the other hand (being a big chatter-box) kept making dialogue. We walked downstairs and he asked me if I wanted to share a ride home? I was elated ….i felt like he proposed to me and I said “YES”.
We became very good friends ….by the end of that year….we studied together…talked on the phone for hours every day…..started sharing secrets …I eventually fell in love with him …..like head over heels….but I wasn’t quite sure he loved me back …I knew he liked me but I thought may be its just platonic.
Until the day of November 3rd, 1999, when we were studying together, and I suddenly out of the blue, blurted out …you know, I love you.
