:: That Girl I Knew ::
:: Unknown POV ::
January 29, 2014.
I saw her again. She was walking in the park, favoring her usual routine - headphones in, blank face, noticing no one as she walked.
She would walk for god knows how long. Longer than I would, and I, happened to walk an hour a day, with her.
Not technically, of course.
She just used to be there, sometimes ahead of me, sometimes against my direction, and sometimes almost beside me.
We didn't literally know each other.
Yet, I could feel a connection between us. Not a romantic one, not a friendly one either. Just some unnamed connection.
She would walk on, blank face, but not today.
Today, she was furious.
She looked furious, and acted upon it too.
For whatsoever reason, her cheeks seemed flushed, and her lips swollen.
She sat down at the bench, as always, and noticed me nearby, "evening," she had greeted.
"Evening, what's with you?"
"Nothing much, just got kissed by a certain Male Chauvinist Pig I happen to revolve my life around."
With that, she left, continuing her walk.
This was the everyday schedule; she'd tell me her problem, I'd tell her mine, we'd continue our lives afterwards. No questions, no other interaction.

Today, again, there was a change. She looked.. different.
She didn't look bitter, she looked sad, though. But it was the hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just gets you through.
I wondered what would've gotten her that way.
She was a fighter, for all I knew about her.
She sat down, still not meeting my gaze, "my father wants to get me engaged."
With that, again, she left, leaving me wondering about what could've happened.
July 15, 2014.
For the past few weeks, I hadn't been able to catch her here, she never came. I didn't miss her; I barely knew her to start off with.
But it felt like something was missing.
She finally came today, though.
With our usual greetings, she told me, "I got the engagement postponed. I don't know for how longer I can keep that up, though."
There was a non-awkward silence, and I almost expected her to get up and leave, but she continued, "I don't want to get engaged. I want FITE. I want to compete with Randhir. I don't want what my father wants for me."
I didn't reply. None of us would, everytime either would blurt one thing or another out.
August 2, 2014.
For the past month since the engagement confession, none of us had spoken. No worries, I assumed, but I was proven wrong when I saw her today; with a different expression on her face -- she looked scared.
She noticed me sitting on the bench, and walked her way here, sitting on the same bench, as I waited for her to speak.
And she did.
"I think I like him."
September 24, 2014.
More than a month had passed, and she hadn't spoken anything.
I'd see her everyday, holding different expressions, mostly worry, though never speaking to me.
But today, she was smiling.
A 500-volt, real smile.
And it made me smile, too, seeing her happy.
"I love him; Randhir," she exclaimed, "he told me he loves me back."
And that was when we became friends, because I couldn't help but smile at her after that, feeling happy for her.
Good woman, she was, Sanyukta Singh Shekhawat.
:: The End ::
:)
Btw, this is from an UNKNOWN point of view, so it's up to you. And if any one didn't get who the girl is, and whom she loves, it's Sanyukta - loving Randhir.
The story is in past tense, and the girl becomes Sanyukta Singh Shekhawat in the present, as shown.
Buddy me for PM's.
Feedback would be loved.
Danke,
