28. Love obituary - Sehej


Sehej was the cutest face I had ever seen in my life beating even the very fairy like Aneesh, because her face glowed in more innocence than hers. She was as beautiful as the fairy like Aneesh and as innocent as Ansh, she was slim and tall, treaded with the grace mighty Nile. One girl I could look for the first time and say ‘O god take my breath away’ or wish that I dissolve into her like a rain drop in the ocean, forever. That was her. I could sit and afford to see her for eternity and not get tired. Honestly, the three years that I spent with her presence in the college I never heard a word from her mouth and so I don’t know how she might have sounded when she talked but still I think I would never long to hear her voice, because her silence spoke so eloquently. She came to the notice of my eyes and heart on the very first day of her joining the college the year I passed on into the second year. She was roaming amongst the new crowd with a lone friend like an innocent lost sheep. She was from electronics, the elite ones, and she parked her kinnie in our metta parking. She was a year junior to us and spent most of her time with Avneet her only friend. She did her primary education at New Public School Chandigarh and some more things I found out about her. O my god I loved her. There was no doubt that she was the girl I woundn’t like to miss even for heaven. And I had no clue how to bring her in my life.

On one of those many days when I fell in love with her Tazzy and I were walking back from pec market when I plucked up a wild flower,
“What are you gon’na do with this?” asked Tazzy.
“See it for yourself, buddy” I said as we approached the metta parking.
“Do you know whose kinnie this is?” I asked smiling coyly.
“No!” replied Tazzy utterly confused.
“Hmmm…this is Sehej’s kinnie” I said spying, looking around if by chance she was watching us. One of her kinnie’s rear view mirror was missing, the left one which left a small hole in the dashboard. I stealthily put the little orange flower in the hole on the dashboard.
“O I get it now” said Tazzy.
“Let’s get out of here, hurry” I said.“How romantic, she’s gon’na find a flower and wonder, o my god, and then she’ll have sleepless nights wondering and wondering. Then one day she will find out it’s our dear Harry, the lover boy and it’s gon’na work, wah wah kya idea…” Tazzy sought pleasure in completing my love story that very instant. So that is how it went on most days of the week I placed a small flower on her kinnie hoping one day she will find me planting one on her kinnie and our love story will begin. I so very wished I get caught placing the flower on her kinnie…
