Chapter 4
~ ll Arsh OS What I did for Love ll ~
I fell in love with him the very first day i saw him on College.. His charming blue eyes captured my heart at once.. As i saw him i felt my own heartbeat rise... Its when i understood.. Yes he is perfect..
I am just a ordinary girl.. I am not typical Indian or either go for western lover.. I prefer kurti and jeans.. Easy enough to show me simple.. And easy enough to define my character as a shy girl..
I loved studying and reading.. People might have thought i am a bookworm.. Hardly they knew i use to steal glances at the charming guy who use to sit around bunch of boys laughing mostly.. He never noticed me.. And i didint even expect him to notice me... Why would i.. ? Me the Simple girl was no match infront of all those beautiful girls..
Then came one of the most shocking day in my life.. I was in library studying my Notes.. Thats when i felt a presence near me.. I looked up and noticed him standing infront of me with a smile.. I was too stunned to smile back.. I still curse myself for my stupidity... Couldnt i just give him a polite smile.. I tried not to show how thrilled i was to see him .. With that i was hell a lot of nervous.. Just how a typical girl feels towards her first Crush.. He took a seat beside me surprising me beyond to limits.. I glanced him a questioning look when he spoke gently... " Hi .. Actually as u might have known i have joined college in Mid-term .. Soo i was thinking if you could help me around with notes.. You know.."
For a second i just kept staring at him like a dumbo.. I didint know how to react.. Was he really asking me for help.. A ting of disappointment did went through me knowing he is just here to get my help not more than that.. " Still can my heart say no.. ? Never .. I gave him a smile and spoke shyly.. " Yeah ofcourse.. "
He flashed a big smile making my heart flutter happily... " Thank u soo much.. Oh ya Btw I am Armaan.. "
I gave a nod with a small smile... " I am Shilpa.. "
After that i felt like happy days were back in My life.. Two reasons was for that.. Firstly I didint have to suffer near my alcoholic parents.. Secondly Me and Armaan became close friends.. Close friends not as in he talks me around gently... Close friends as in he treats me like i am a buddy of him.. I wish he understood i was a girl.. Still could i complain infront of him.. ? Never.. One thing good was that i could talk to him about my depressing life.. Same way he used to share things about his life.. Sometimes I used to be awake many nights and make his notes around.. Ya a bad habit of Armaan.. He approach me with a puppy face and says.. " Shilpu... I have a Basket ball match tonight.. Can you do my notes too.. Plss plss plss.. " Can i ever say No seeing the look on his face... ? And again i used to spend most of my nights making notes for him or sometimes projects which were hard.. Still I didint complain.. Cauxe thats when i started to realize Yes i like Armaan...
Then came one of the most horrible day of Mine.. That day i was busy in Library in making my own notes when he entered in a hurry pace.. " Shilpa.. I need to speak with you.. "
I didint bother to look up from my notes.. But i had alerted my ears to him.. " Speak.. "
He blurted out... " I think I am in Love with a Girl.. "
I stopped writing and looked up at him and saw his face glowing in happiness.. I didint knew how to react soo i stayed silent and listened how he fell in love with the girl at first sight.. And then he looked at me with a plead.. " Shilpa .. Plss i need your help. Can you do me a favor... "
I didint want to cry infront of him.. Instead i forced a smile on my face and gave a Nod.. Why couldnt i ever say no to Him.. " What help Armaan.. "
He spoke instantly... " You need to help me Out.. You need to tell me how i can impress this girl and propose.. "
I felt a lump in my throat still i bravely gave him a nod.. He happily gave me a hug and walked out without looking back.. Thats when i felt something wet touch my hand.. I touched my cheeks and realized i was Crying.. why... ? Why was it paining soo much... That was the day i realized I love Armaan.. But again could i say no for doing favor's to him...? Never..
The next whole month was depressing for me... But i realized Armaan less bothered me those days.. Probably he would have been buxy impressing the girl he was in love with. I did give him whatever tips i could have given.. What a girl would like to hear when she is proposed... But after that He hardly talked with me or asked for my help... I became more depressed.. I shattered.. Was this call friendship.. ? But again whatever i did for him just only cauxe i loved him.. Back in home things were more depressing.. My parents used to get drunk soo much that they hardly remember who i am.. Then came a day when i was in home and heared my parents yell at eachother.. As always it was giving me a headache.. I went to them and tried to stop.. But this led to me getting injured as the glass which my mother threw in anger hit right on my head..
Probably they might have had some humanity to get me admitted in hospital... I hardly cared anymore now... I just wanted some love in return but no complaints.. After all whatever i did was for my love Only.. The very next day when i was getting some water for myself i felt someone help me with it.. I turned to look Armaan who put some water in the glass and made me drink it... His eyes showed concern.. I wont say sympathy as i know he do care for me.. As i kept away the glass he took my hand and rubbed them softly.. I waited till he talked.. Did the girl left him.. ? Or he needed some more tip.. Just then he looked up right in my eyes and spoke... " Shilpa.. I need a favor from You... " My heart was shattering in pieces hearing the same words again... But could i ever say no to him ? Never...
1 yr later :
Still i do remember those days.. But instead of crying over them i smile remembering the Moments.. After all Whatever i did was for my Love Only.. I am happily married now.. I know i took the correct decision... Armaan married to the girl he loved Most.. He still says how much he loves her and how much he tried his best to impress the Girl... Now one yr after i understand his words.. But 1 yr before i might not have... Cauxe least i had known that time the girl he was trying to impress so hard was Me Only...
Flashback :
" Shilpa.. I need a favor from You... " My heart was shattering in pieces hearing the same words again... But could i ever say no to him ? Never... " If i am able to.. "
He cupped my face in his hands and whispered to me.. " Will you marry me Shilpa.. "
Flashback Ends
Still it surprises me how on the earth i am the girl he fell in love with... The love at first sight was not only from my side.. Least i knew he used to stare at me secretly while i studied.. And take tips from me so he could propose me.. Still he speaks out how he wanted to propose me but i was taken to hospital so he had to change his plans... He still says sorry for bothering me by making me do his work... But i always say to him with a smile.. " It wasnt a Favor.. It was What i did for Love.. "
