Part 6: Pursuing Pink


I was again left confused. This guy really had something in him. I dropped the idea of going to library and thought of staying back home as Joy had already left. I were in the deepest thoughts that whatever I am doing with Joy, is it correct way of reciprocating the favours he had being doing for me? The way I am treating him since that night, is it the right way one should be treated, when u are equally at fault? Because down there in my heart I knew that whatever happened that night was not at all his fault rather I showed him my willingness too. He never went against any of my wish. Then why am I treating him like that? Or maybe I am unable to justify my own actions and in return I am giving him the punishment by behaving like this. All my thoughts were for him at that moment. I didn’t know why, really why I just couldn’t stop thinking about him?
I didn’t even hear the sound of door when it opened and Joy entered the house. I was sitting in the same position, at the same place in the living room since Joy had left. He got little worried again to see me the way i have been sitting as if i were some statue.
He came near to me and asked me again, “what has happened to you Pink? Why don’t you understand that we have not done anything wrong for God Sake! That night, you were scared and broken and all you wanted at that time was a person who could made you feel safer. And that is exactly what I proved to be that night.” I wanted him to hug me again….. Oh God! What was happening with me? I apologized to him for my wired behavior. i also made him clear with the reason behind that. I told him that he is the first ever person with whom I shared everything about me. He is the first one who saw me breaking down as before that I never cried in front of anyone. And most importantly, he is the first person who could come so close to I physically and mentally and also got the polite behavior, instead of retaliating one, from me.
I think he knew it already and for being the first in my life for so many things, he was very proud of himself also. He smiled and whispered, “So now can we please be normal again?” I could only smile back and said sorry again. Being the smartest guy around, he knew how to charm any girl, this is something I use to listen from the people in campus about him, but today I was experiencing it myself. He was really a man who could convince anyone so effortlessly so as to make them think that without it they were wrong.
He also told me that he knew it already that we go to the same college so from Monday onwards he wanted us to go together and that was not a kind of request he was making. Rather his tone was authoritative to which I could not say no. This man really had something inside else it was not easy for me to obey to everything which he was saying without raising any further question or asking for the reason behind.
I discussed further about my plans with him. i told him that i was in search of getting a part time work soon and also to study more than required to maintain my grades because that was the only way to save my fellowship. “My friend’s dad is looking for a cashier for his workshop, I had already given your name. Just go and start working from Monday. And by coming with me to campus in the morning would save you some hours which you can devote to your studies. And by the time I get over with my basketball practice, you will be over with your work shift so every day I will pick up you from there so that you save some time in the evening also to study more than the usual.” I mean he had all the plan set already! I was stunned to hear all of it from him. He was so concerned about me and was planning everything without even me telling him to do that. And I felt so foolish again to think that he was a self-centered man and I did not matter to him in anyway.
I had the most wonderful Saturday and Sunday ever. I spent time with Joy. He also introduced me with Cathy, to whose dad’s workshop I will be going to start working from Monday. He was not at all like I use to think about him. He was caring, charming and a man to die for. He cared for me like a baby and the entire two days stood beside me, whenever we were out and wherever we were for those two days. I, kind of, was coming closer to him with each passing moment and with each of his gesture towards me. He was truly a gentleman.
It was Monday morning and the plan was set already. I cooked breakfast for us and then started with my lessons. Got ready and came to table where Joy was already waiting for me to have breakfast together. While giving a morning kiss on my cheeks he asked, “How did u sleep? So are you ready for the first day at work?” I replied by just moving my neck in yes and he hugged me to wish me good luck for the same. I accepted all his gestures with open arms and could feel a desire for more already building inside me. We both drove to college together and moved towards our respective classes. While parting our ways, Joy held my wrist and reminded me to wait for him in the evening after my working shift. I replied in yes again and moved ahead towards my class.
Weeks passed by like this and everything was moving so smooth that now I was worried of the fact that how can this happen? How is it possible that nothing wrong happened with me since long? Was it the Joy factor? Was he lucky for me? Was he the one I have been waiting for? He and only he is the one I have been always thinking now. The question was WHY?

Are you guys eager to know the answer? I am equally eager to write the next chapter… So just be little more patient!
