Chapter 8-
I wrote that in a small chit and was waiting for Jerri’s arrival. That was a different kind of feel…Each and every person in this world, who was in love they would have experienced that feeling. Colorful butterflies were dancing in my heart. Meanwhile my friend snatched that chit from my hand… Oh my God!!!!!!!!! I thought she should not read that because I wanted to maintain my love as a secret thing…
I know that was wrong, I should have told them. But if my love matter spread in our college means that’s it, our Chairman would call both of our parents and would tell them about us and put an end to my love, and would sent out of the college. I managed to get that paper from my friend. But she teased me “You were maintaining some secret with you da…We were sure about that… You were not normal… Always in dreams…!!!!!” I refused nothing like that I was normal only. She didn’t leave me. That time new staff entered our class. He informed us our Devices Mam won’t come today. So he insisted to do some work without making noise. We started to play games. Everyone suggested playing Truth or Dare………
Within few minutes my friends wrote all our names in small small chits… Very fast….!!!!! (That interest we never shown in studies). They shuffled and thrown on the desk. One girl picked a chit, in that it belonged to Aishwarya.She chose DARE…. So we gave dare as “Go and Propose to the board, thinking that as your Boyfriend “… She hesitated first but later she went and completed her task very well.We shouted in joy. That new Sir sat in a corner with his mobile…May be newly married or may be newly committed guy. We just made GUESSESS…… So he didn’t mind us. Sometime he raised his head and said “Students maintain Silence “. But we didn’t mind his words .
We continued our game. Next turn was “Anju”. She is from kerala. So she doesn’t know Tamil that much. We asked us to learn 2 Thirukkural in half an hour….!!!!! She struggled very hard to learn that. Boys too started to play the same game. In our class we would tease Divya with one guy his nick name was Tiger.
So, obviously we would call Divya as Tigress. Suddenly, there was a great commotion among boys they asked Tiger to do some dare but he denied to do… We all girls started to tease Divya with Tiger, boys too joined us in shouting.
Suddenly Tiger came towards Divya and asked something. She laughed and turned towards me. He measured her hair length and went back to his place and then only we came to know that was his dare. We all started to laugh.
Our friends took one chit, the next person was…. To my shock that’s meeeeee!!!??? I dint expect that…….
Hmmm I don’t know what Dare was waiting for me… they discussed for a long time and my question was “Tell about Your Lover? Sorry Dream Boy? “They sarcastically teased me!!!! God how these Girls were able to find Mysteries/Secrets about others??? That’s a Great Mystery only!!! Hmmmmm anyway I have to answer know. I lied that I don’t have lover and all, I would tell about My Dream boy….
I closed my eyes I started ……………..
“He should be such a wonderful person similar to my dad’s character. He should be manly, ready to face any situations. He must be jovial, should have helping tendency. He should take care of me each and every second. He should understand me in all situations, should support me, and guide me. He should give me equal rights. He should respect my family. Very important thing is “he should madly love me till his last breath!!!”
I told myself “My Jerrrrrrri would also be same as I wished”.
But one thing struck in my mind I opened my eyes……..
I realized that Jerri didn’t come to class yet. I was longing to see Jerri at that very instance, divya understood my feelings and started to console me but in vain. I was waiting for his arrival… My full mind and heart was towards the door whether he will come at this minute or that minute. Now 2nd period going to start but still Jerri didn’t come to class. My heart told “Nothing Bad would happen to him” but my mind is not accepting that.
Where is Jerrrrrrrrrri???????
Why he didn’t come yet????????
Now 2nd period going to start but still Jerri didn’t come to class. I don’t know what happened.
Chapter 9-
I was about to cry, tears filled my eyes not able to see anything clearly. I felt very heavy inside my heart, that time Divya shouted in top voice “Hey, Jerri came de”… I cleared my eyes immediately and saw him entering class with our class friend Edwin. Jerri was discussing about something seriously with that guy. I felt my heart light after seeing him, but he didn’t mind me at all. He was talking to Edwin, came and sat in his place thinking something.
Divya asked him “Why you came late da… Someone felt sad without seeing you” indirectly she teased me. I laughed to myself, that time Jerri replied that he went to see our department HOD to discuss about our Industrial Visit to neyveli. After hearing that me and Divya got so much excited and its Divya’s native place too. So she was very excited that she could meet her parents also.
I gave that small chit to Divya and asked her to give that to Jerri. She turned towards back bench and gave it to Jerri. He asked “From whom to whom?” like that. I am not able to control my laughing and blushing too I went to washroom, washed my face and laughed seeing mirror and refreshed and came outside. I got confidence to face Jerri, went back to class and sat in my place.
Immediately Jerri called me. After hearing my name, my confidence level went down I felt shy to see him. He called me again; I managed to hold my shyness and turned towards him. He gave me one letter; I opened and saw that letter. I was shocked to see that it was the “Letter I wrote to god”. I was in great confusion how he got this letter without my knowledge.
I asked him surprisingly “Hey Jerri, how did u get this letter da. I wrote this letter and almost forgot where I left that ”.
He didn’t reply at all. He just gave one cute smile and told “Because of this letter only I came to know how much you got disturbed by my love and how you felt towards me. Thanks to god only”.
I don’t know what to reply “??????????”.
While I was talking to Jerri, Divya was giggling I asked her “Why are you laughing?” She replied “Don’t get angry de, I only gave this letter to Jerri, because I don’t want you to suffer because of that matter. I want to bring end to your worry that’s why I gave the letter to him. Jerri only told “Let’s wait… till you accept his love”. So only I didn’t tell you”
At that moment I felt very happy and thanked god for giving me such a wonderful friend and Lover. I hugged Divya and thanked her. She too felt very happy. Then we started playing Hollywood game with Jerri. We three had very nice time and went for Lunch. I was feeling happy one side but still in another side I felt sad that “I am not loyal to my parents”.
I convinced myself that “I am not doing anything wrong I had just chosen a perfect son-in-law for my parents”. Me and Divya had lunch full heartedly and came back to class. Jerri was already in his place, I was surprised to see him very early to class.
I asked him “Shall I tell you one thing, don’t mistake me”.
He told “Don’t hesitate to ask me anything da, feel free as before”.
I told him “Jerri, we should not be as usual as all other lovers like roaming, or spending time happily. Because we were just only in 1st year we should concentrate in our studies, we should get placed in good company and then only we had reached one step to succeed in our love. Don’t think that I am telling conditions to get succeed, these are the facts for us to approach our parents”.
Jerri silently thought for some time and replied “Done. We would first prove ourselves and we can enjoy later”.
I loved the respect that he gave for my words. I went near him and in low voice I proposed “I love you soooooo much Jerri. I don’t want to miss u in my life. I am really blessed and very lucky to get as my lover”. I just told him and moved away he pulled my hands, I laughed and standing near him, that time our Premalatha mam entered the class. I don’t know what I should do at that moment; luckily someone called that staff for getting some signature in some paper outside the class…
I ran towards my desk and sat with my class notes. I acted like I was seriously discussing my friend Gowthami who was sitting beside my bench in the front row. I hope she wouldn’t have seen me standing with Jerri. After entering the class, she started taking attendance. Then only I got relieved that she didn’t notice us.
Oh My God!!!!!!!!! What a great escape. I got hope that “God is always in our side to help our love”. As usual we were chatting through chits… and planning greatly to enjoy during our industrial visit travel. In our college, they will take us in college bus they itself provide food and everything.
The only thing we have to worry about is “How to enjoy the Journey?????? ”. Day after tomorrow we were going out of that hostel Jail to see the outside world after a long time………………… “Wow!!!!!!!!! How wonderful to hear leaving Jail though we are not prisoners we are under some control that itself would be like Jail for all youngsters”
Chapter 10-
The Day for our Industrial Visit came. All our friends in hostel got up by 4’o clock itself and started to get ready because our college bus will start from the College campus by 5.30 am….. We all came outside the hostel with our iPods, mobiles and Snacks in our bag. We girls surprised to see our class boys already reached the gathering spot. Me and Jerri were talking to each other in sign language, because for avoiding comments from our friends.
College bus arrived exactly at the time. We all got into the bus. Girls were sitting in the front seat; boys went and sat at the back seat. We all were silent till we crossed the college campus. When we reached the entrance gate we all shouted in chorus “Ohhooooooooooooo we are free now”. Then we went to pick all dayscholars in their corresponding places.
Finally we all gathered in Tambaram. The Sad thing is we were arranged 2 buses one bus for girls and another for boys because the class strength was about 75 people. I and Jerri were in different buses .We enjoyed a lot with our friends by playing songs, dancing, singing and also racing for both boys and girls buses. We reached Neyveli by 11.30 and then we visited the coal mines and went for lunch to a nearby hotel. We met Divya’s parents and had chat with them, then had snacks nicely and bid good bye to Neyveli. We started our return journey.
We all were tired so the energy level reduced, we just played anthakshari and racing for 2 buses. At last both buses reached Tambaram by 8:00 pm we all separated in both buses, hostellers in one bus and days scholars in one bus. Yesssssssssss, Me and Jerri again united . I signaled Jerri to sit at the back seat next to me. We both were sitting in the window seat in the two seats which were one behind other.
All were mostly sleeping; some them were hearing songs… I and Jerri were in our own world speaking softly without disturbing others and also without gaining attention from anyone. Jerri asked me some questions like “what are your likes and dislikes, etc…”
He asked me to give my hand… I was laughing and gave him my hand near the window. He was holding my hand tightly and told let this journey continue till my death………….
