People or things we seek might come into our life without a struggle, but then we will never understand the value of them. Life will be bland, and adventureless without all kinds of emotions involved - JAS

Aakash P.o.v

Multiple sounds are coming around me, but everything is like whispers as someone wants me to wake up from somewhere, and I don't know where I am anymore. I see a girl smiling at me and suddenly, my thoughts went to sweety and woke up as if I am waking up from a coma after years. I realized I was just in my bed, and sound sleep and loud voices are coming from the outside of my room and went out to check what's happening. Suddenly the atmosphere of tension was felt but as soon as I step out all my friends along with my roommate has a shocked expression on their faces as if I was a ghost and relieved after a couple of seconds. Feeling confused I went to them and asked what's the matter. 

Then one of my friends Sanjay came near me and asked why are you not opening your door we were knocking for about 40 minutes, we thought something was wrong and trying to find ways to open the door. I smiled at myself knowing what happened, and I stood there like a kid getting a scolding from dad for not opening the door, and waiting for him to take a breathe, so I can explain but no it took him 10 minutes to calm down then I replied him sorry Sanjay I was awake last night for long, and just slept deeply, so I did not hear any knocking noises. He gave me a look and said no more locking door to your room, and broke my lock. I looked at him unbelievably that he did exactly as he said. I argued with him for 5 long minutes but he didn't step down of argument either. Finally, I gave up knowing it's my fault. Then other's joined in to finish what Sanjay started.

After I had taken a nice lecture from them, I went to shower and thought maybe sweety has seen my messages or not. I was eagerly waiting to check my notifications for her messages. As soon as I came out of the shower with just a towel around me, I hurriedly went to check where my mobile is but, I found out I left it in the living room. Cursing myself,  I quickly opened the laptop and logged on to my Orkut account and saw there are messages from everyone in the world except from the one girl I wanted. With a disappointment on myself, I got dressed in a white shirt and sky blue jeans. I went out of the room to find my friend's planning to go out. But I was not in the mood, so I told them "you guys carry on, I do not want to go out." 

But friends are friends they are like "Do not do over action we are not leaving you here, after the stunt you pulled in the morning so come along." With no choice, I did what I was told and asked Sanjay to drive the bike, and I sat in the backside not willing to drive because my bad mood can cause a rash driving, and it leads to an accident for sure. Thinking of sweety, I thought no accidents till I meet her or at least talk to her. Her thought brought a smile on my face, then Sanjay said its already noon, so, we will eat something and go to the theme park, and I said okay. 

Just then an idea popped into my head to say sorry for sweety uniquely, and I remember she said to me about her favorite chocolates. So, I decided to say sorry through pictures as I can't call or meet her because I still did not see her. I am sure she will be impressed, and maybe, just maybe she will share her picture. I am missing her even without knowing her. Deciding it, I happily went to the restaurant and ordered food and forced my friends to eat sooner. Saying that "we have to go, otherwise, we might miss many rides in the theme park." They hurried up agreeing with me. 

While we are on the way to a theme park, I asked Sanjay to stop at a supermarket for quick shopping. He was amused at my sudden interest in the theme park. As soon as we parked at a supermarket, I quickly grabbed the chocolates I wanted and little extra stuff like chips not to raise suspicion why Suddenly, I wanted chocolates. On the other hand, Sanjay is following me keenly with a smirk on his face. I almost got all chocolates except for Bournville(nut and raisins). It was her most favorite chocolate and I want it because it was special for her. I was searching for that chocolate, but I am finding all the other chocolates except the main one. 

So, I decided to ask someone and called the sales guy who is near the aisle stocking chocolates. As soon as I asked, the sales guy arrogantly replied: "whatever is on the shelf that's all we have." I was irritated by his behavior, but keeping my calm, I asked him again with patience to check in the storage. Then he raised his voice for no reason. It angered me, and I gave a piece of my mind and asked to call the store manager because I don't want to argue for such a petty thing. Then the manager guy asked what was the problem? I explained to the store manager and soon he apologized for the rude behavior of his staff and went inside and get me the chocolates I needed. 

Saying it's okay, I paid for my stuff and came out. As soon as, I came out of the store Sanjay stood in front of me in the parking lot, folding his hands asking, "what's the matter with you? Why are you so adamant in buying that specific chocolate?." I said it was nothing, but he did not let it go. So, I told him the story that happened between sweety, and me and also my idea. For some reason, he is okay with it and kind of gave me a smile, which I never expected. Sanjay is not the one who encourages me for the things I do. Our friendship is more like he criticizes me in every single thing and tears me down till I gave my best, and that always brought the best out of me in everything I do. But this time, he just gave me a smile which is not him. So, I asked him, to assure myself "Are you ok with what I am doing? No comment's nothing?." He refused and asked me to sit, so, he can drive us to the theme park. 

Thinking okay because I never expected such a reaction from him and releasing the breath, I don't know I was holding and sat on the back seat of the bike, and he silently drove off. We reached the theme park and enjoyed some rides and its almost sunset, and there are some nice stalls of snacks and handmade things. Suddenly turning my head, I see a toy train for the kids with alphabets on each window. Smiling at my thought, I asked Sanjay to take pictures of me while standing next to the alphabets. Holding each chocolate as if I am giving them to sweety. After our little photo session, we decided to leave because the theme park closes in the next 10 minutes and everyone is hungry as its almost 9 pm. 

While going out, we are merely looking at the stalls each side, and suddenly, my eye caught something shining in the light. I rushed to the stall as they were closing and saw a beautiful heart crystal key chain and I know for sure I have to buy it for sweety. Asking the stall keeper about the cost of the key chain, I paid to her thinking about how sweety will be excited when she sees the keychain. Smiling at the thought of sweety going crazy, my friends, and I went to have dinner in a restaurant. After we are done, I went to drop Sanjay and went back to my room.

 As soon as I entered the room, I changed into pajamas and started making a collage of sorry pictures and posted on her wall with funny messages. By seeing them, she should forgive and make me her friend that was my goal now. Let's see what happens. I also wrote a reminder to myself in my brain that, I have to buy a set of key chains and collect them whenever I go to different places, to gift them to sweety on her birthday whenever it is, which will be a surprise.

Thinking of all the things and sending her some more messages and musical greetings, and some chocolate posts on her wall I logged out of my profile. Suddenly the thought that I have an internship to start in a couple of days has crossed my head and started checking details about the upcoming project and procedures that I need to do and got busy in my academic work. After I am done with my work, I went to bed and looking at the ceiling I thought of sweety again.

 I wondered why her thought's never left me? And that feeling is weird. Why am I always thinking of sweety? Why I can't think of any other friends of mine who are girls? Or I didn't, even think about that one girl who keeps on proposing me every time she sees me on the campus from the 1st week of joining till now as I think of sweety? I didn't even remember the girl's name that is proposing to me continuously. What is so special about sweety? Even though I didn't see her or hear Sweety's voice, I remember every small detail she shared with me chatting. With the hope of her forgiving me and seeing her soon and talking to her, I dozed off into my dream world.
