PERHAPS!!!

                                                                                

                He just sat and stared at the empty computer screen as the screensaver started rolling in. Things like this were not supposed to happen… he was not prepared for it. The first instinct was to reject all the crazy feelings surfacing up. He wanted to close his mind to all that was happening in his heart. But his mind had also turned against him. Perhaps it had made allies with the stupid heart.

He had trained his mind well to keep his feelings under control….to restrict them. But, maybe his mind was not strong enough.

                He sighed over the fact that things were beyond his control now. Neither his mind nor his heart was listening to him. Frustrated over his own helplessness, he looked around to find that the entire office was empty. He was so lost in his thought that he did not even realize that it was way past his working hours.

                He got up, packed his bag, zipped up his jacket and started to leave. He had to walk a good 1/5 kilometer before he could get an auto-rickshaw to his home. As he approached the door he realized that he had left his I-card at his desk. He moaned and dragged himself back to his seat to get his i-card. As he was coming back, he glanced at her seat. A smile ran across his face…. He had no idea why that happened.

                He kept on thinking about her as he walked out of his office. She was not the prettiest, yet every expression looked so gorgeous on her face. She was not the funniest, yet every joke seemed so hilarious. She did not have the sweetest of voice, yet he felt like listening to her for hours. He usually would get bored listening to other people ramble, but everything about her was so interesting. She was not perfect, but everything seemed so perfect.

                She was the first thing he would search when he reached office. Any day she was absent felt dull and other days were amazing. A smile on her face would light a bulb in his heart. Whenever she looked sad, all he could think was of ways to make her smile.

                Something was different about this girl. He had had a lot of infatuations, but this was not one of those. He would discuss about his infatuations with his friends and act silly as the girl passed by. But in this case not a soul knew about his feelings. He knew it was more serious than just an infatuation. Perhaps this was it….. PERHAPS……
