Aastha-The Star of the Day

The next meeting with Aastha turned out to be an important chapter in our lives. You never know what destiny have stored for you.

When I met her on the very next day, I was unusually quiet and had no plans to do anything mischievous, let alone taking revenge from Aastha. I entered the classroom; the day wasn’t good in school at all. I joined my friends on our reserved seats. Aastha was late that day for class, but was looking very cheerful and pretty. You may say she was the “star of the day” and that was more than enough to ruin my mood further. Everybody in the coaching, come to know how we treated a new kiddo in the class and the lesson that was thought to us by Aastha and our teacher. My friends were feeling sorry for the whole mess up and wanted to regret for the same (I think my male friends were attracted to her). I wasn’t keen to do that though (Ego problems). But my friends somehow convinced me and dragged me to meet her after our classes. She was outshining everybody in class with her intelligence and looks. I was feeling jealous as everybody was busy giving attention to her, nobody bothered to ask me the reason for my quietness.

Finally the class got over and I was compelled to meet her with a big smile. We waited for her outside the building. Although we just stood for 10 minutes, I felt like I am waiting for centuries that too for a person I do not have any intentions to meet. Finally AASTHA arrived, looking stunning in her blue denims and white pullover. And I have to accept she was looking like a diva with hairs falling on her face. It was more than enough to grab anybody’s attention. My friends pushed me to greet her but I was quiet. After everybody was over with their sorry and be friend rituals, I turned around to leave as I wanted to hide my tears (I never felt so ignored). I expected my friends to stop me and offer me a shoulder to cry but I was wrong. Everybody was busy with their chatters and gossips. And than somebody stopped me, I thought must be some friend. Guess what? It was Aastha..............
