It was my first year in engineering, and I was trying to adjust to the hostel life, seniors and ragging. It was that time I heard her name 'Arati'. She was a third year student then and hailed from the same place as my roomy. She had a striking face, beautiful eyes and chubby cheeks. She was the angel of the college.
I started liking her the instant I saw her. Though I used to see her many times (I used to go behind her whenever I got a chance), I would have talked to her only two or three times. I really do not know the reason behind this. All those two or three times too happened only if I was with my roomy and she came across both of us.
First year flew by and second year came. We started moving out frequently. We had become seniors also. So I almost saw her daily. She would come with boy friend (villain). Yes she had a boy friend, who studied in her class.
Once I was in the bank extension counter inside our college campus and she too came there. She was wearing a bright yellow dress and I could not take my eyes of her. She said Hi to both of us and started talking to my roomy. They were neighbors in their home town and knew each other well. Indeed it was she who asked him to try our college rather than going for some other one. Few minutes passed like this and it was time for her to leave. So as she left I had told her only a 'Hi' and a 'Bye'.
Time flew by and my second year was coming to an end and she was going to leave the college forever.
I started to attend my third year in college. She was working for a company in Pune. Two or three months went off in third year. College was boring without her. One fine day, I came back to my room and saw my roomy getting ready to go somewhere. As soon as he saw me, he said "Yaar, Woh aayi hai". I did not know if I should feel happy or sad. I started to go with my roomy to meet her. Again my talk was restricted to a single Hi. She was leaving the same night and invited us for a dinner. But as my luck would have it I had a meeting about the quiz competition to be held at our college and I had to go.
All along the meeting I was cursing everybody there. I thought if the meeting gets over I would just join them for the dinner. But..
When I reached, my roomy had not come. He had gone to see her off to Pune directly after the dinner. When he came back, he told me "Woh pooch rahi thi ki thu kyoon nahi aya".
