I don't believe this. I seriously don't believe this. Did I see right? Did I hear right? Did she really say that? She loves me!!!
How? And why? What made her think that way? Our friendship is barely few months old and she claims to have fallen for me? How is that possible? Without knowing each other well, how can she make such a statement and that too in front of almost fifty students?
I always considered her as a friend, who needed me and with whom I liked spending time with. She's sweet, innocent, easygoing and we share a great comfort level...that's all. There's nothing more to it. At least not from my end.
I pause to think more about this and unwillingly the scene of me clasping the chain around her neck, flashes before my eyes. I take a deep breath. Okay. Fine, I admit there is strong attraction between us and her closeness deeply affects me but that cannot be called as love. That attraction has always been there... Her simplicity has always fascinated me but that doesn't imply that I love her. Yes I'm concerned about her. Seeing her upset, stresses me but that's because I'm worried for my friend and wish to see her happy. That's about it!
Today was a big day for her. She was participating in a competition and wished me to be by her side, even I wanted to see a shy timid Khushi blossom into a confident girl but what I saw...it didn't pleasantly surprise me. It shocked me. Trust me, I had no idea that she harbored such kind of feelings for me...that she would make sculpture of me and that she'd openly confess her feelings.
Today, she took me totally off guard. In fact she let me down... she let down our friendship.
Love? I mean really man, where did that come from and why?
We both are young, we have our separate lives to lead, we have certain goals to achieve in our lives...Okay, I don't know what kind of a future she sees for herself but I definitely wish to reach somewhere in life. Somewhere high. And to reach there, love will have to wait.
In fact to be honest...There's no place for love.
