The Crush

She was looking at me and my eyes were completely focused on her. She was unceasingly coming nearer and nearer. No blink, no noise, no feeling, no heartbeat even, everything was just static, no sense at all, I was numb. It’s been long since I have seen such a elegance and beauty, and the typical human habit of staring at the beautiful affairs is something I was quite used to. The seconds were quite countable as I was still gazing into those beautiful black circular points inside her eye balls. It seems “now this is just the life and nothing else”. Felt the first heart pulse after a long time but a harder one, blood started moving again over the arteries, reaching its destinations, collecting carbon mixed impure stocks over veins and circulating through the blood system of the body and the body sensed a sudden aliveness, but eyes were still dead on its mark and no flashes. She approached nearer just few foot across, and I was confident that she got the same numbness what I was experiencing. The eyes were looped and she was coming closer and closer, the heart was motioning slower and slower, and I was counting the milliseconds. I was actually standing just in front of my College notice board on the very first day of my Post Grads studies, and was looking for section B time table. She came more closer, was just few inches away from me, kept looking at me. A feeling that she is counting my heartbeat stuck me, she was not just beautiful, she was gorgeous and graceful. But then something happened unexpected, she smiled, (Me: why is this smile, I am not at all smiling) and a sudden chuckle whacked me out of all my fantasies “Aye Hi… Is the section B timetable published”? Lightening struck to all over my calf love feeling which just broke out a few seconds earlier, I was still staring those beautiful eyes but with my just transformed more widely eyelids and the feeling of “shock-laga”, had no answer for her sudden inquiry. She shrugged, and was scarcely looking at me with all "question mark" gestures and shrunken forehead. “Oye Hero…” one more giggle, and on the spur of the moment I realized that I was living a fake moment.
The feeling was sudden, strong and striking. It was like I have seen the life in the a split second under the flash of the instant lightening strike. This was the moment that demolished my heart, the moment that blown my feelings, the moment that made me so light and drifted me above the ground, and the moment that taught me what is called "Love at first sight".
