Times we spent together !! with love !! chapter 1 .

"Can you come at my place right now? I am not feeling well, tomorrow are the results." said
shivi , in a low tone. She was almost weeping. She took those “MINOR” examinations too seriously and now the fear of failure was hitting her.

"Are you sure? Ask your virtual boyfriend first, if he allows" Rahul  poked her, looking at the watch. It was 10:30 late night.
(Virtual Boyfriend referred to 'Rishi' here; Shivi's boyfriend; Virtual because she find her on a social networking site. Obvious FACEBOOK.)

Rahul and Shivi , both were pursing their Preperations (for entrance exams) together. Before  coaching’s , they both actually had a life. Rahul  had a very beautiful girlfriend who left him because of his hectic life, which was being waste in the struggle to pass Examination.

Shivi still managed to have a boyfriend. It was a weird relation though. They never met each other. Still, they were together all day long on FB, watsapp and Skype.

"Please come fast” , Shivi  pleaded. She didn't even fought back for her virtual boyfriend like she always used to do. She was seriously low.

They say when you are low , “ you shed your precious tears in lap of your loved once”. Strangely, she never went to her Virtual boyfriend at her bad times. She always called Rahul. Whether she needed at midnight or she had a fight with Rishi.  Rahul was there, always and forever.

How they met? They too met on FB. However, they were from different cities or better we say different states. They shared a great bond called friendship. They passed inter and then they decided to move together at same place for their coachings  (1 year for engineering aspirants .). The feeling of meeting Rahul and spending 1  year together always fascinated Shivi.

So, here they were at Kota , the city of education . Struggling with their dream of getting IIT’s . an year together passed just like a blink of an eye. They enjoyed their lives, spent several days of time together being screw under the pile of DPp’s and worksheets.


They shared several moments together, those late night walks  when Shivi  used to sneak out of her PG, Rahul's birthday when She tried her best to make it special. However, she ended up with a Bridge site, a cake, and a bottle of champagne. They never drink but the night was special. They spent the whole night sitting on the rocks there,  gulping black forest cake with sips of champagne and just before sunrise slept on the bedded sands of it .

Rahul reached her PG in no time. He parked his bike few hundred meters away from it. It was a Girls PG. Boys strictly prohibited but not when they come silently without hurting PG's owner sleep. Rahul sneaked in the PG, following Shivi silently to her room and they took a breath after double-checking the door’s lock.
"Tell me, what happened?" Rahul said jumping on her bed and crushing her pink teddy bear.

"I am feeling low. I won't be, able to pass this time," said Shivi  pulling out the crushed teddy bear out of Rahul’s chest.

"I knew that, that's why I brought something for you," Rahul smiled. He was always there for Shivi . He was a sort of mother to her , taking every responsibility of her.

"And what it is?" Shivi asked confused, biting her lower lip.

"Guess?" Rahul winked.

"Don't tell me. Chocolates?? Diary milk Silk?" Shivi chuckled and Rahul pulled out two dairy milk silk out of his tight denim pocket.

In no time, she ate both. Obviously giving few bites to rahul too. Chocolates always brought her out of her sorrows. Girls love chocolates. Especially in situations like this, “I guess” !!

Rahul spent all night comforting her.  He tried his level best to make her believe that she would clear it easily and she listened to him like a kindergarten baby; sweet and innocent. She rested her head down on Rahul's chest and smiled finally.

"What if I won't pass?" asked Shivi.

“Just call me while checking your result. I would be there to strength you. I won’t let anything wrong happen to you. You will clear it definitely.” Rahul comforted. He made her sleep and left for his flat.

"Results would be declare on 2^nd may around 6pm "

Shivi  checked the CBSE official  website. Today was 2^nd  May. Clock almost hit 6 pm what they were up to, why weren't they uploading the results.

Irritatingly Shivi  dialed Rahul's Number.
on call -

"Aren't you feeling nervous?" Shivi asked biting her nails.

"I was sleeping; you just wake me up,"

"Oh! How can one sleep on his/her results day?" She shrugged.

"Come on, it's just a result,"

"Whatever. Rishi is calling me. Better, you sleep. I am picking his call. Bye," Shivi swap the call to Rishi.

"Hey, baby what about your results," asked Rishi  in his caramel filled voice.

Shivi  kept talking to him and refreshing the website on the other hand and after almost 20 refreshing attempts. She got the link to check her results.

"What it is?" Rishi interrupted.

"Baba check to krne do," Shivi said sweetly.

After the slow processing of her 2g network, she jumped in happiness. She cleared the Exams with pretty good marks.

“I cleared, I cleared…I cleared…” Shivi shouted over the phone call.

“I am proud of you my sweetheart,” Rishi tried to articulate his happiness.

“Muwaaah…” Shivi  kissed him over her phone and then the romance continued for almost one and a half hour. After disconnecting, she talked to her parents and just before going to bed she realized, she forgot to ask Rahul’s result. Excessive happiness actual harm sometimes.

She called him up. His cell phone was switch off. She called everyone she knew, but there wasn’t any clue of him. She had his roll number. She checked his result. Her fingers went fast on her apple laptop. She entered his roll-no. with crossed fingers and silently praying. But the results weren’t in favor of her prayers... He FAILED by just few marks.

Shivi started weeping in pain. She was struggling with the guilt that why she didn’t call him early. At least she would have comfort him.

The night before results started haunting her. When Rahul was comforting her saying, “Just call me while checking your result. I would be there to strength you. I won’t let anything wrong happen to you. You will clear it definitely.”

Rahul’s words started echoing  Shivi’s mind. She was going crazy. She had no clue of him. She tried to search him everywhere. The whole night went into an abyss and with the heavy guilt of her absence, when Rahul needed her. (i guess the most) ..
