A Special day with someone Special...

It was a lovely morning. I know because that day I woke up so early. Yes you guessed it right. I used to wake up in the afternoon those days. So, I woke up and got ready. I was excited. It was the third day of Rendezvous and every one was sleeping as they partied till late night. I did the same too. But I couldn't just sleep any more. So I wore my favorite 'Park Avenue' shirt and the only 'Killer' jeans I had at that time. Wore a full size turban which I wore in very rare cases. I called and confirmed the time when she will meet me in IIT. Yes its about a day I spent with someone. Someone who was there for sometime in my life and I used to consider myself the luckiest of all. Someone whom I was talking to on phone from last few days but never saw her. Someone about whom I heard that she was the most beautiful girl of her campus.

Finally my phone rang and it showed her name on it. "Oh my god...!!!" was actually my thought at that very moment. She was actually there. Just downstairs. I was full of various feelings. Thrilled but anxious at the same time. I was actually worried about my outfit which usually was not the case with IITans as no one cared at all. (IIT was more or less a boys college for us, so no one cared about clothing and stuff. But Rendezvous was different I guess.) After I succeeded to have a calm and relaxed face, I went downstairs. As I exited our hostel's gate, there she was.

Standing near the Jwala round about, there she was with all her beauty and grace. A beauty beyond words. A treasure I must say. So gorgeous yet so delicate that you can feel the purity and sweetness. Long black hair covering her whole back and arranged so nicely as if each one of them was taken care of separately. Her face, so angelic with perfect blue eyes, so deep that you'll never find yourself once you are lost in them. As I was going near her, I felt something tickling my soul inside me. I went and took her soft hand in mine and asked about her journey to IIT.

We started walking towards the admin area. As we walked, all of a sudden I realized that everyone was looking at us. Without exception, even if someone had to turn around, they looked at us. Actually not at us but her. Although I tried to ignore that but it happened for rest of the day.

She hadn't eaten anything till that time so I took her to subway. We were talking all the time and I was enjoying her company and she felt the same I hope. So the whole day passed and we roamed around in SDA, IIT, went to select city walk and then finally came to IIT to attend the live concert of Mohit Chauhan. The original plan was to call her roomies too for the concert but the passes couldn't be arranged. I must confess here that I was actually glad about that. I wanted to spend the rest of the day in the same fashion. I didn't wish for anything else and I didn't want anyone else.

Listening to the lovely songs of Mohit Chauhan, I took her hand in mine and felt as if I was the happiest person in that crowd of nearly 5000 people. As the music was so loud, I had to go very close to her to say anything and I could smell the scent of her and that was the only thing I could smell at that moment. Although I was surrounded by a huge crowd, loud noises and bright lights, nothing felt real. I was lost.

The show ended and she had to return. The day was going to end. We started walking towards the main gate from the open air theater. Again as we walked holding hands, the way was so new to me. I had walked there for thousand times already but it never felt so animated to me. Felt like a path among a wonderland. The silky golden top she was wearing and her angelic face reminded me of the description of those princesses and the wonderlands in fairy tales.

As it was too late, I had to go with her. Actually I wanted to. On the way to her place, she handed me a beautiful archies' notepad she used to keep with her. I took it and thanked her. We reached her place. She told me that she had a wonderful time and I expressed similar feelings. I left with a heart which was full of life the whole day but was sinking with the heaviness of being away from her. Parting from her was something I couldn't even think of. But I had to.
