my teen crush
My recent trip to my home town after 22 years. Just to catch up with my roots. It was good on first day. we discussed all our childhood things there. I was too eager to see the place where I spent five precious years of my early adolescence. It was the place where I had my first serious crush. Next day evening I went out for a stroll cum shopping trip over there. The smells , the air, the dust every thing appeared so different yet familiar. It changed so much. Many new things cropped up. Many Old places still the way they were as was when I left that place. I was lost in joy. Slowly I walked past with my relative and few others were at a distance from me. It was around 9 pm. Suddenly I heard my aunt calling me aloud. She said Giri has come to see you. I was shocked. I did not know how to react. there was a sense of euphoria in my mind. But I felt awkward. I did not want to meet him. I know I was silly. May be he never knew about my feelings for him. As a teen I wanted him to fell for me. But it never occurred. My silent crush for him for three years was crushed when I came to know that he was in love with a classmate of mine. I was shattered. But went on with life. Now after so many years he is in front of me. I did not know what to say. there were so many people around me. I had to come over my feelings. Suddenly I was very professional. I asked about his well being. He suddenly called his wife and said look she is my ex class mate. She had a little child hugging over to her. I just passed a little pat over the child. and told a few words about my child also. He was looking at me. I felt ill at ease although still talking with him. I wanted to run away from there. Finally I bid bye to him.
