Alric was leaving his classes. Nick accompanied him. Their favorite sport was foot ball. Alric was a state player and Nick got inspired by him. They played a friendly football match with few of their other hostel mates. Alric scored goals with more josh than usual. Nick figured out that and NIck thought that Hirdh might be the reason behind it. They had burnt many calories playing foot ball for around 2 hours in the evening and they got tired. They went up to Alric's room and both had a nice shower. Alric sat on his bed wearing black shorts, showing off his torso & Nick came out of the bathroom, with a brown denim. Nick found a smile playing on his lips. Though he knew the reason, he asked Alric about it.

Nick, " why are u smiling all day? What happened Alric?"

Alric, " well! I think I have met my future wife" and he gave one of his gorgeous smiles to Nick. According to Nick, all girls in the campus, longed to see this smile on his face. But he also knew that, this was one of the rarest smiles of Alric's and those were reserved only for his nears and dears.

Nick, " ahaha!! And is she Hirdh?" Nick suggested, already knowing the answer.

Alric said " yeah I guess so" smiling and sheepishly added, " I have never been disturbed by anyone before. Hirdh is like a magnet and I'm like an iron bar. Whenever she is around me, I just get attracted to her man."

Nick, " gotcha! Alric, you are in love. Congrats man!" he beamed.

Alric, " I think its just a crush. But I whole heartedly wish it turns to love and finally get married to her Nick. Yeah! I hope at last, I have found my better half" and he felt as if he was on top of The Himalayas.

Nick, " yeah that u did! Don't worry man. Hirdh is a good girl. And u both will make a good couple. Everything will turn out good."

Alric, " fingers crossed!" and beamed at Nick. Sooner, they got worn out and Nick left to his room leaving Alric to his own imaginations. Alric laid still on his bed and closed his eyes, but couldn't sleep. He was thinking of Hirdh. Her eyes were beautiful and he had no words to express them. Her eyelids were long just like her golden hair. He wondered how will it be to feel the curls of her golden hair like a soft flexible tendrils and her slender form was killing him. He smiled and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Next morning, he woke up soon and was trying to apply his psychiatric skills on Hirdh to know her better. He usually clears his mind during bathing and takes important decisions at that time. Because he feels that a hot shower helps him to refresh his mind and make the choices clear. And almost all his decisions made would be the best. At first, he thought of approaching Hirdh directly, to get to know her better but later changed his thought. He didnt want Hirdh to have a bad impression on him and he needs to be very careful in this.
