"....kalimati,balkhu,kirtipur......"

A small boy(conductor) was shouting at the moving mass of people.I climbed the bus and there were 3-4 seats empty. I went to the seat by the side of a girl sitting at the window. I collected a lot of courage and sat there not daring to watch her face.

"hey Ramesh!!!!".....

i turned my face towards the window(not the girl..but the girl was at the side of window..)

"......."(i didnt find words to speak.......i was astonished to find her there....)

"hello...."

"hye"

"dont u remember me?"

"mmmmmmm....arent u Anita?"(i was just acting to guess.....trying to show her that i am not interested in her.....macho attitude actually.....)

"yeap! where are u going?"

"kirtipur, and u?"

"me too"

"u r studying there?"

"no boy! This dumb things...reading and writing is not for me....these are for u"(did she meant that i am a dumbo?)

"...."

"Actually i am going to my sis house"

"oh!"

the bus is now full with passengers and was moving outside the buspark.

.....
....
.....(hell! why is she not talking)

i just watched the window(not the girl) to see what she is doing.

"And,..(Yes! she started again...hip hip hurray)
why are u going to kirtipur? u are at Bachelors, arent u?"

"yeah"

"which subject?"

"BIT at Kcc"

"the one in front of Share market complex?"

"yeah"

.......
........

"tell me one thing, why are u always nervous?"
(did she noticed that i was red..)

"no,why should i be?its so hot here so....."(oh!!!)

she smiles...and i felt like i had been caught.....

"u didnt told me why are u going to kirtipur?"

"oh sorry(of course!i was nervous),actually i am going to take the migration of my sis"

"thanks god, i found u(she looked sharp at my eyes..)"

"(i got Surprised and nervous.....man! did she mean me?uuf....its so hot here...)
what?"

"my sis will be there at 3...now its 1...its boring to stay alone,so....."

"........(should i invite her to restaurant?no...yes...no.....)"

"ummmm....then shall i come with u.....i have a lot to talk with u"

":-)....no...i mean...why not? sure..."


so, when the bus reached balkhu....

"Anita, i am getting off here, soooo...."

"Ok, lets go then.."

we climbed off the bus and walked towards TU. we were talking about our past.....and then i completed the work at about 1.45....(uff!!! still 1 whole hour.......god its so....hoooooottt...)

Anita...........

3 months ago, she shifted form bagbazar to (!!place unknown!!)....

Her room was just opposite to my room.(Her window and my window were facing each other...). I used to light the tubelight, when i was at the room.(It was dark even at day...)

It was the month of poush, when she came to that room.....Her room had a small balcony at its front; visible from the road (and of course from my room!!!)....the balcony was so good that one could see the sun from morning to evening.........
so she used to sit at the balcony and sleep there or study(..magazines i guess.....reading n writing is not for her...)

I never had a straight look at any girl.....so i never noticed her.....

( Accidently ) Whenever i looked outside the window, god! she was watching at my room.........

It was during my ISc exams......i used to study day and night for the exams....

And she..........
She used to play the music loud on her radio from inside her room....and sleep at the balcony.......

The music was quite loud and as my room is just 10 mtrs away from hers, it was quite irrating.....i couldnt concentrate on my studies....
"bepanaha pyaar he aaja.....tera intajaar he aaja...."shit!!!!

I was quite angry...tomorrow was my exam......oh god what should i do!!!

I thought that i should talk with her but i never had enough courage to start....

She seemed to me the most ugliest creature in the world......like the witch in hansel and gretel(who had of course the cake house like hers....). I used to curse the god for manufacturing such damaged piece....

Whenever her sis used to call "Anita, Anita......", i used to get into high temper........

Tommorow was my maths exam....i was practising the exercises.. then i heard..........
"bepanaha pyaar he aaja.....tera intajaar he aaja...."

holy shit!!!! again??????

all of a sudden i got out of my room and walked towards hers, i was going to scold her.......but guess what....i found her at the road....and her loud music was still on!!!oh god!!!!!!!my blood pressure was going higher and higher......

so i thought "the bitch is intentionally disturbing me"........i was out of mind and then i noticed something on her that made me laugh.........

hhahahahahahahaha.........uhauahahahahahahaha

her 'kajal' was way below her eyes and on her cheeks....her lips was half red and half pink(half of her color was wiped...)....her hairs were scrambled like a real bitch!!!! She looked terrific.......like a BHOOT!!!!!

she looked like walking in her dreams......but no she smiled at me....a wicked smile....i then gained conciousness........
and hurriedly turned back and came to my room.....after a moment the music was off, so i looked at my window.........she was there watching at my room.......

"hey"

"aah(the time frame moved quickly and i came from past to live action)"

"hey, why are u nervous again?"

"no, not nervous..."

"tell me what were u thinking?"

"nothing....."

"ok, may i guess?"

"(no.....please....dont guess)ok"

"are u thinking how to invite me to the coffee?"

"hell! how did u know??(i was trying to be normal)"

"hehehe......i know what u guys think..."

"so...do u know some place?"

"yeap! lets go....just follow me"

"(of course i was always following u)"

There was a lot of trafic, so we were not talking much.......the time frame again went to the past......

So the same routine continued and my exams were over........of course, it went not so good, but not bad either.....

After the exam, i had nothing to do....i had 15 days vacation......
it was quite boring to sit alone......so whenever i used to hear the music, i just looked at the window to find that she was also staring at me.....and giving me some message by her facial expressions....(i never understood what she was saying...but of course, she was saying something....)

Slowly i started liking her.....(was it love?mmmmmm i am not sure)

I tried to talk to her......but never had a chance(i dont know what chance i need to talk to a girl????)
actually i had a lot of encounters with her.....but i never opened my mouth......

And one day she moved.....and i was empty again.....with no music...............

"hurry, Ramesh!!there is a bus coming"

i got into my sense.....hurriedly crossed the road

She had already crossed the road.....

"damn! is ur head always spinning like this?"

"oh, sorry......"

"u were nearly hit by that freak bus...."

"......oh! i was just thinking something....."

"Will u tell me what is on ur mind?"

"forget it, lets get going....and where are u going?"

she looked at me with large eyes making her face look like she is angry with me....

"there..."

she was pointing to a nearby restaurant......

so we went to the restaurant.........

It was a small, neat but not so expensive restaurant....We took seat at the corner near the acquarium.

A boy came to take order. She ordered 2 half momo and 2 coffee. Then She started again

"Tell me howz ur study going?"

"great"

"ok"
....
....

The boy brought the coffee and went.

"Ramesh, do u remember the past days.....when i was @bagbazar"

"yes, but only a little"(liar liar.....)

"whenever i used to watch at your room, i always found u studying"

"i had exam then..."

"no, other times also...."

I just smiled.....she smiled too

"seriously, i always wondered what were u always studying?"

"...."

"u know,i like music and dancing a loot.....but i was always afraid that i might disturb u"

"(do u?? liar......)"

The boy brought us momo.......

I was waiting for her to start.......

"oh! just go on....please take.."

"ladies first....hehehe"

"haha....ok ok"

She took the first piece and then i started too....our conversation was going on(I was gaining confidence and no more shy....)

"Ramesh, where is ur brother?"

"Somesh?"

"yeap"

"(why is she asking about him?)....oh he's gone to malaysia"

"u know, u both are same.....innocent, shy and cute...."

"(Am i?? hurray.......yes i am!!!)"

I smiled....

"seriously.......u two brothers are alike, good manners, smily face, good sense of humor, respect for others....i like both of u..."

"(Two????)"

"Somesh is also a good guy....."

"(Where the hell did he came from between us??brother i am gonna
kill u....)"

"he had helped me many times...."

"(u brute!! and u never told me huh!!!....)"

"u know we used to talk at the roof and exchange message using gestures and sign language sitting at the window......."

crshh....something crashed......and it was inside my heart....(Is this called the heart break?)

"somesh and i,it was so good when i was with somesh.....actually i think we were in love..........and i love him even today.....i think he too loves me."

"......"

"u know, he calls me twice a month from malaysia and .................."

.......................

.......................

.................................

.............................

she was talking but i didnt heard anything........i could only hear a continuous beep, i could see only darkness.....every thing seemed to stop and then......i went back to the moments i had just visualized......

I saw a boy, watching a girl from his window....hell it is me...and that girl ....she is Anita...my ugliest girl.............and Somesh, that dog....he is at his room just above mine.... Anita and Somesh are talking with sign language and I, the fool is happy that the girl is giving me signals...........noooooo......i cant see it........

please god take me away from this ......

Tears start rolling from my eyes.....

"hey Ramesh, why are u weeping?"

suddenly something touched me and i felt that everthing was moving...... and i saw her in front of me shaking my arms....

she was shocked and confused, not knowing what to do.....

i came into my senses..........and looked at other peoples....no one was watching us..........

"no...nothing(i wiped my tears with my hands)"

"take this..."

she gave me her handkerchief,

i used it to wipe my tears from my cheeks....i could inhale her smell from the handkerchief....and it went deep into my heart....generating more tears to fall off my eyes......

"Are u alright?"

she was holding my left hand...

i was unable to speak so i nooded my head,took her hands,placed her handkerchief and said

"yeap! fine, i am fine...."

"what made u cry?"

she was still shocked......

"...."

"I didnt know u are so sentimental......huh"

"no....i just thought of u and somesh...so"

"why should u cry then?"

"nothing......forget it..."

She was quite shocked......and unable to speak anything.....

for a moment silence ruled the environemnt.....

"i think u are getting late(it was already 3)" i said breaking the silence,

"(she was searching words to speak)yeah, its 3...i must be going"

I dont know who paid the bill......but i was in hurry to get away from her.....

"Anita, there is my bus..."

"Ok....u go...."

i climbed the moving bus in a hurry....

"careful" she said.....

"bye Ramesh, see u soon....."

i dont know when did i heard it, but when i turned at the voice, she was not there............
