This story
happens at the early of 2000s.Vineeth ,was in love with his classmate Kalyani.
He didn't have any idea how to express his love towards her. Days, and months
passed by, when he would just watch her and adore her beauty.
So one day he
decided to write her a love letter. He got back from school, listened to some
romantic songs. just to get into that wonderful mood.In his mind, he pictured
her, as a beautiful princess, dancing around, gracefully, as words came
floating in the air that lit up the atmosphere. So, he decorated a piece of
paper with all that and thus finished his very first love letter.
The next day, he
had to give her the letter but didn’t have the courage to do that. So, he
decided to hand it over to her best friend Nithya and ask her to tell her that
Vineeth gave it to her. Vineeth was a little late to school, so didn't see her
in the morning. Got to class, told his close friends about this. Everyone
really liked it. And one of them agreed to accompany him in the short break to
her class.
So, they
waited for the short break, which was after two periods, two hours. Just when
the bell rang, the maths teacher hadn't finished teaching. He hated it when
that happened. As soon as she left, he and his buddy Shaam ran two blocks from
their class, to her class, and he saw her, chatting with her best friend. He
froze for a while, he didn't knew what to do. Shaam took the letter from him,
and he walked to her, and handed her the letter, said something, that's all
Vineeth saw, before he hid himself behind the wall. The next time he tried to
take a peek, Shaam was running towards him, and said, Come let’s go!"
They got back in
classroom, just before the next teacher got in, and then began, the wait.He had
to wait 3 hours, for the lunch break, to see what the outcome was. That time
period, was just unbearable. But he also realized, that it was in these time
period that he has loved her most.Many questions came into this mind would she
say yes? would she say no? or should he just carry on loving her without
letting her know? Would she hate him for this? Will he be able to live with
that? and because of all that, he wanted this feeling to last as long as it
could.
But the bell
rang, eventually, for the lunch break. He was so tensed and excited. he was
just sitting there, looking down at the desk, while his friend was outside,
eagerly waiting to see if anyone's coming.
"Hey,
they're coming man!!" called out his friend, and he got into his bench,
took out a book, pretending to read it. Vineeth got up and went out to the
door, and they were standing right there, and he was right in front of her, his
sweet princess, and her best friend. It was really awkward, He didn't know what
to do, he wasn't prepared to do anything at all, he just stood there, with no
expression.
Nithya friend seemed
angry, and Kalyani looked a little worried. He had nothing to say, he was just
prepared to listen to whatever they had to say, to which he would simply reply
with an "OK".
"Where is
your friend?? Where is he hiding??" asked her friend,Nithya.
That wasn't
really what he was expecting, and he said, "I'm sorry, It was me who asked
him to... " but they weren’t listening to him, she was searching for
Shaam, and saw him hiding his face behind his textbook. She went to him, which
left Vineeth and his heart-throb standing next to each other. He had dreamed of
this moment, although in different circumstances. He was a little shy to look
at her, fearing whether she'd be angry with him, for what he did, but he
noticed that she was eager to have his attention. They both looked at each
other. She smiled at him.And right the, her friend came rushing, grabbed his
sweetheart's hand and left.He was left wondering why she didnt say a single
word to him, in spite of being angry.He was just looking at her, to see if she
would look back which she did.
All this, put him
in a really good mood,he slowly walked towards his friend's desk and told him,
“Dude,she smiled at me!" But he noticed that Shaam had the expression of
that of a person who just stepped on a crap. He asked him, what the matter was.
That is when he told Vineeth, that he gave Vineeth’s letter to Kalyani, telling
her that it was his(Shaam) letter that he wrote it for her friend Pooja. He had
been bothering her for quite a while and she was really angry with him. She
didn't believe that he wrote such a wonderful letter. She threatened him that
if he didn't tell her who wrote this letter, she would tell it to her brother.
So he lied again, he said that he asked Vineeth to write a beautiful love
letter without telling the reason so that he could give it to her.
Vineeth was
speechless. He didn't knew what to do.He was let down by the acts of his
friend.Though he was happy that Kalyani admired his letter and that was all he
wanted.And that was it. The End of a Beginning.
