10.THAT FIRST COMMITMENT

"Do you really need to break my sleep every morning just because you go to your stupid gym so early?"

"Yes I do and you must exercise too.See exercise is good for health and your nerves...."

"Daksh..please...I am tired...Nothing is gonna save from dying ok.Ha Ha Ha..."

"Don't be a looser.Common wake up."

I had a lot of diseases and some sort of neurological disorder for which I had small chances of survival according to the doctor.(BUT I AM STILL ALIVE).

That night he sang a great Bollywood song to me which meant- 

"Slowly ,You became my life.

  Slowly, The world around me has lit up.'

I was flattered.Then he sent me a long message in which he described a story in which two ants cared for each other.He meant that he wanted us to be such for lifetime.

I was so happy.I asked him to speak it up to me and for doing that he took nearly an hour.

He was too shy.

And at last I said yes.

He had become my friend,my guide,my lover...my Life.

Our relationship was at a level higher than Love.It was divine,pure and had no rules.

We got committed....but just to care for each other and we promised never to fall in love.

We were not a couple...but we were just for each-other only.

That was so special.

He always did make me feel special.

I was more than satisfied.

9.THAT FIRST MEETING!!

Talking to Daksh became a regular habit.He even used to sing songs to me on phone and ask for recommendations. We used to talk anytime and every-time and if any more time was left with us then we spent that on chatting.

Our day started with each other and ended with each other too.

It was just after 8 days from the 1st day of our talking that we decided to meet.

I gave a good excuse of buying books for the new session to Papa and went down with a beautiful friend of mine named Alisha to meet him.

Alisha was beautiful and smart and most importantly she was a craze among the boys of our class and one of my besties. I thought she was perfect for Daksh.

We waited for 15 minutes and then Daksh arrived.We both looked at each other and smiled.That was it.We connected so well.

I introduced him to Alisha but Alisha seemed having no such special interest in Daksh and Daksh was too shy.

I laughed my heart out.Three of us had an awesome hangout and I gave a card to Daksh resembling our friendship.We also met his sister.

We ate ice-creams,we fought,we gossiped,we enjoyed a lot.And then it was time for me and Alisha to leave.

Daksh called me from behind,"Ipsha...".

"Yes.."

"Had an awesome day.Thanks for coming."

"Hey you stop being so formal.It was nice spending time with you.We shall meet often."

"Sure.Bye"

I kept looking back at him a lot many times and smiled till I got an auto-rickshaw and Alisha pulled me into it.As soon as I sat I got his call.

"Hey..Will miss you"

"I will miss you too."

It was indeed a very special day for me.

I was so happy.I felt like dancing in the air.

And then we met often,in Sundays and in holidays.

We had come into a relationship where we were "More than Friends,less than lovers".

We cared for each other in the same way,in a special way.

It was not love,not at all.......

....Or may be .... something more than that!

     8.THE FIRST PHONE-CALL

"Take care baby.Call us as soon as you reach your college."

"Ok mummy!!"

That was what every teenage girl hears from her mother when she leaves home.
I was adjusting myself in the bus when my phone beeped.I did't take time to confirm that it was Daksh.
"Oh god! This boy is gonna kill me someday.",I said to myself.

"Hey u set for ur journey back to hostel? :-P"

"Why are u so happy for dat?"

"hey not lyk dat...where are you now"

"in bus"

"cool dear.... dont b so blunt to a boy who has a crush on you :-D"

"can u stay away from flirting atleast for a moment?"

"If the option is for you....Then i am not flirting:-P"

"Daksh..."

"OOOO Ipsha..."

And Daksh went on chatting with me till I reached my hostel.
I prepared myself up and was getting ready or my classes when my phone rang.It was an unknown number.

"hello"

"Han Ipsha we don't have classes today.Inform everyone."

"Ok.But who is this?"

"You know me well.I thought you would be waiting for my call."

"Excuse me!I don't know you."

"Really??"

Then I realised who I was talking to.
Daksh.... Not again!!

"Hey ...why did you call me Daksh??"

"Ohh wao!You got me right.I called you because I wanted you to realise that you had given me your number and also the right to disturb you anytime I want."

"But now I will be off for classes.Talk to you later.Bye."

"You won't be having classes now.You may verify if you don't believe me."

"Shut up!Bye.."

Just then Ashu called and said,"Rest in bed dear.No classes."

I was so happy.I changed up and sat with my laptop but just then the phone rang again.It was Daksh.

"Hi!.I said na you won't be having classes.So let's talk now.And don't wonder what to talk coz we can talk as we are close friends now, right?'

I laughed out loud and we started talking.We kept on talking about college days,about all supid moments,about our crushes,about our life and anything and everything.

I was smiling heartily after so many days.
We talked continuously for 3 hours and then I realized I had call home after reaching.

I suddenly cut the call and dialed mummy.

"Mummy I reached."

"Now?"

"Yes..No ...I mean..I was preparing my room...You know cleaning all those dirty stuff and all.So called you a bit late"

"Yes a bit is equal to 3 hours.Ok go have your lunch and take rest."

Moms are unbeatable.
I took my lunch,had rest and then updated my status-

"Back to my hostel room...Missing home...But itz k..."

It was actually ok as I had that stupid Daksh to irritate me afterall.

Life was getting fast-paced.I liked it.
