Psycho+Wacko=Craziness

Dude are you sure its her?! I mean common ya i can have some eye defect or something. But then why after five such long years its her figure brewing in front of my eyes and that too with long curls. Ugh! whats wrong with me? Isnt there a doc nearby to check whether am still alive or dead or these damn five years had just made me a total nut or jerk- as I was always for her!

Oh now look I am proving that right, am sitting here on this chair, crushing this untouched coffee cup and staring a girl standing there across the road, cant I just uplift myself and go have a close look and check am still in my senses.

I don't have to do that now; look she is coming in this direction itself. But hey it's the same face I could see from this corner, while she is crossing this road. Is it really her?

I am crazy no doubt now, better look in other direction instead of staring this girl hallucinating something…no actually someone I had been missing every second of my survival through these dang years. Wish I was there in my country, by now am sure I would have got on to her nerves the same way I used to. Don't know what I miss the most- pulling her legs or fighting with her over craps or was it just for being with her. I don't know, or may be I do and that's why every single day out of these years somewhere or the other reminded me of past days of my existence with her. Good thing atleast am having these memories playing around me now and than which is only after I left seems to be so sweet. Wonder what if I said the same to her that time, probably she might have declared me a mental case there and then itself and the next day the same news would have covered all the pillars in that campus with big posters all around. If D-dad had got that same news brushing past his extra long ears, I think I had been dead the same day for no reason and even when it was not the truth or my fault either, he would have found that from anywhere and would have enjoyed sentencing me in a jail or somewhere, where I wont show up to spoil his political image from my very existence. Ah! Hope he is enjoying that now because that's why am here. Happy that things are back to normal there and am enjoying my peaceful freedom here and I don't have to get back to the same phase I was once being in, So that's why I left that place on first hand and got back to here where I could actually belong to be myself but I should have informed to at least a few or may be atleast to her, which I regret the most for not doing and may be that's why I couldn't get over with this strangeness. Since the day I came here and resumed everything its either of me or least a part of me finding myself lonely just because I wont be seeing her or wouldn't be able to see her atall! But hey guess what now; strangeness is on its peek with my seeing her face now. My eyes are glued on a face I am not even sure whether it's hers or just me imagining it, I can't be sure although the same face is crystal clear in my mind but I doubt its real now.

A 'psycho' yes that's what I had always been for her and she was no wrong to adjudge me that way because look its still her face sharp infront of my eyes and oh not to forget with long curls, with the same smile on her face as she is enjoying her ice candy and crossing this psychotic road following my psycho analysis about it. Better turn my face and face the reality now.

Oh NO!no no no no nooooooooooooooooo-Stop there!!!!!!!! Please no! man its still her am seeing enjoying her lolly and crossing this way. Dint she just noticed that van coming from other direction? and still she is on with her feets pacing ahead.

"Hey!watch out!!!" God is she also nuts the same way I am, seeing someone I should not in her face? No she can't know that but than why the hell she is taking risk.

Zip your crazy mind here YUVRAJ DEV and go save that girl from crushing, probably she might not have seen this van but then oh I did saw her noticing that. Shut up right here and go push this girl back on other side of road without wasting a sec otherwise…

"Ouch! Oh you dumbo- whats the matter with you?!!"

yeah right whats the matter with me is all what she is accusing me with for saving her life, lying underneath me and my face buried on left palm and she pushing her ice candy in my mouth. But it was me who pushed her now, and here I lie on top of her! That's what a girl would think but is it really what she should be thinking now can't she thank me first. Wait did she call me a dumbo? A 'DUMBO'. And did I heard the same voice now. Did i???

I lifted my head from her palm leaving that melted lolly now and stared at her face for say about I don't know. She tried to push me back but stopped the very second I met her eyes.

It was her. Yes it was her. It was no imagination or anything it was truly her! The same face, the same voice, the very same- ANVESHA BANERJEE RAY I had known!!!

"Ashi!?" was all I could push out with my mouth being chocked with sudden joy.

She popped her eyes the same way I did and blurted my name with stunned voice. Voice which I was always familiar with.

"Duh! Yuvi is it you??!" yes it was me. Freak! Yes its you! Solely you!!!

Five long years and yet the same. Seems these years were meant nothing for our reunion this way. Ooh it was only when I realized the way we were laying on top of each other on this crowdy lane. Don't know for how long we stared each other the same way; I picked myself up so that she could straighten herself aswell. Seemed as none of us knew what to say first.

"Um this candy tastes good." Candy??? I was talking about the candy?! She too looked a bit confused and simply forced a smiled looking at that melted candy on the ground and than she lifted her eyes to meet mine and then…we both burst into sharing a loud laugh together.

Freaky yes it was her! Why dint I believed my eyes. Why dint it came upto me right than who else would be eating a ice candy here in this chill when a normal person would want to enjoy something hot instead, who else would be enjoying taking risks and crossing the road so carefree inspite of noticing a van coming for her-bet only Anvesha aka Ashi to do so! a smile simply twitched while seeing her laugh, standing right infront of me.it was so her!

"So? You here?" again I did that! I was about to ask something and this is what came out. She simply smiled with humor still bright in her eyes and then we laughed again. We both opened our mouths the same time to speak and yet again noticing it we snickered another laugh! Seriously if anyone was noticing this would definitely think we are madsters out here.

"Hey bhaggu!yuvi! of all the places I knew here is where I found you finally after so many years!" and then she paused as if she just said or was about to confess something.

I had to smile at that. Did she just said she was expecting to meet me all this while? My smile automatically turned wider and I grinned at her.

"So you missed me?huh?" it was something I cant help to stop myself and grinned further. She passed me an evil look and at once denied that in one breath, it was so Ashi-ish because I knew what she was going to say.

"NO!I dint!" yes that's what she said and than she dropped her eyes may be because they were not with her this time. She can deny that but she don't know I did. Each second, each minute, ever since I was here-away from everyone---away from her!and I wanted to tell her the same because now here she was standing beside me. So I said that aloud.

"But I did!" she lifted her eyes to meet mine, they were the same which looked hard from a distance but from near they were as soft as ever.

"How are you Ashi?" I wanted to know how she was first, it was as if I lost my other half long before and got it back just now!

She smiled the same smile I missed the most although in past I was not used to these but deadly ones shot in my direction instead.

"You were right.I missed you! How are you???" and her eyes were all watery this time.

And that was it, I couldn't stop myself,how can i? and hugged her. It was her whom I missed the most. It was her whom I wanted to be with. She hugged me back.

"I missed you the most Ashi. Am sorry I went without even informing anyone. Without even meeting you. But trust me I wanted to! Every single thing reminded me about you. And I know am no good for you but still I love you."

And I meant it! Yes I was in love with her right from the beginning. I regret all the time I wasted, I had waited for long and I don't want to do that anymore. I don't want to lose her.

"idiot-stupid-dumbo-sick…."and than she was chocked, she crushed herself even more closer to me and heavy tears ran down from her eyes. I hugged her tightly and so did she. I kissed her curls before we faced each other.

"Trust only a psycho confessing you this way standing by roadside meeting you after so long!" She wiped her out flowing tears from her sleeves and tried to laugh rejoicing.

"And trust only a wacko to return the same ardor for you!" hearing that she met my eyes again and her cheeks turned bright red. She was blushing. She buried her face in my chest and we both laughed in each others arm at our craziness. That's what wacko and psycho are meant to be together. Without his wacko, psycho is half! And being together we enjoy our craziness about each other…
