In Quest of My Glaring Star - Part 3
‘I don’t
match him’ was the one thought that stood at the end. I slept dreaming about
his eyes and losing in his arms.
The next
morning, as expected, I woke up to his text.
Michael:
Good morning, beautiful
And today I
had made my mind, so no more blushing.
Me: Morning!
Unlike the
other day, I planned to stay away from him. With other people, I at least knew
I could stay for some time. But with him, the loss frightened me the very
second day. He was too good for me and indeed should have a good number of
stalkers. I don’t want my silly possessiveness to get over me and I couldn’t
even guess how rude he would turn when he comes to know about me.
Michael: Are
we going to have another day, dear?
‘Dear? Me?’
I dropped my jaw.
Me: Huh, I
afraid no! Got some works to do, I’ll ping you once I get done with them. Good
day to you.
Michael:
Seriously??
Okay ☹
Good day, Amy.
‘No, don’t
fall for him Amy’ I warned myself.
I turned off
my mobile for the whole day and tried to concentrate on books. Mom was busy
again and I didn’t want to disturb her. But thoughts of Michael, kept
disturbing me. Priorities battled in my mind.
‘I don’t
want to get hurt’
‘it’s not
new. I can handle’
‘How long
you are going to fool yourself?’
‘I don’t
want to lose his friendship. I am happy after a long time. Nothing wrong in
being friends’
This though
swept away everything and I took my mobile. As predicted, there was a text.
Michael: Am
leaving my number, Amy. Call me once you get time.
I saw his
number and confused to the core. This was not the first time someone shared his
number with me. But mostly, I chose not to call them or avoided; few times I
dialled and ended before someone answered; merely I talked with one or two.
Then, I truly didn’t know what I should do with him.
I liked him,
for sure; he would not like me, that was evident. ‘should I call or not?’
Again, thoughts battled in my mind and at the end, I dialled his number.
“Hai,
Michael here” he said.
My goodness…
His voice… It was too deep and I felt it completely get into me.
“Hello?” he
called. My heartbeat raised and I was unable to find guts to talk to him. When
I was about to hang up he said,
“Amy??”
And that was
it. Hearing my name from his voice, I was done.
“Huh, hi…
Mike… Michael” I stammered.
“Amy, wow! I
knew you would call me” he sounded genuinely happy.
“How did you
know, umm, it was me?” and I asked seriously stupid.
“Well I
don’t share my number usually except for my closed ones” he spoke quickly.
‘Closed
ones’ I grinned sheepishly for what he said.
“Umm-hmm” I turned
pink.
“And you
know what? Never received a call to hear heavy breathes from the other side” he
said and laughed.
“Just
kidding” he laughed again
‘Oh man!’ he
knowingly or unknowingly stole my heart and right from that moment, my love for
him and fear of losing him, both picked up steadily.
To be continued…
Super 👌👌✌️
