For it was not into my
ears you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lip you kissed, but my
soul” and this is how our love story began. Back in the year 2007, when I just
joined Samtse college of Education after a year of apprenticeship, I had my
dreams and expectation as I entered the college gate. That time, he was in his
final year and would be soon placed in schools as per the placement order. I
never knew if I would even fall in love with a guy who was just the opposite of
me. I talk too much but he doesn't like talking, I was outgoing but he wasn't,
I loved jamming up but he doesn't Still, there was one thing common between us
and I think that is what brought us together, we both like was the basket ball
match.
I don’t remember the
date when I first saw you because I never expected you to come in my life.
However, I can clearly remember how we first met in the computer lab which was
packed with students “you were holding a thumb drive in your hand to check your
assignment before you printed out for submission.” I now realize, why among
many of the student present there I let you to use the computer that I was
using even when I had work to do. I just took it lightly and I shared about it
to my friend. She then started to tease me saying, “Karma trying to flirt huh?”
I said, no I am not I just let him to use first as he was in need and moreover
he was senior. I also remember telling my friend that it was a respect I showed
to him. The topic was closed. After that I didn't see him as we were in
different building and moreover didn't know him well as I don’t have clear
image of him. The next time I saw him, he was there in the basket ball court as an official for
the match but had no conversation since
I wasn't sure of it whether it was really him or not. The third time, I saw
him; he was again there in the basketball court playing with his friends. The
days passed by and then I never saw him.
One day it so happened
that our fate again brought us together. We again met during the dinner and I
remember having our dinner on the same table.
I knew one of his friends as I call him ‘Aue’ and we all sat together
and shared the table. I was so busy
eating and talking that I almost forgot to notice you. But your silence made me
to have a glance at you. After the dinner, we just had a walk down the Chorten
and came back. All the way, you didn't speak a word but just listened. So, I
just initiated to talk to you, some casual talk and then we left for our own
hostels. The next day we met again but just smiled and went away. By the time
we knew eachother and talked I knew that your class was just near our hostel
and whenever we passed by for our classes I use to see you on the railings or
under the tree with your friends. Soon the frequency of meeting increased
through that aue and I found my feeling developing towards you.
One night, I just
thought by myself, “Why I feel something special for him when I just don’t know
much about him nor we had a same taste.” I ignored my feeling and I didn't even talk
about it to my friend. One day our class had girls volley ball competition
where I was also participating. I saw his friends cheering but didn't see him
around. After the match was over those aue who were in his friends, started to
tease me with him. I just accepted it as a joke for that moment but next day
again one of the aue came to me and asked “Am I in relationship with him?” I
replied “No, we are not having any serious relationship.” Again the aue said “but
I heard kinley (He) saying that two of you are in relationship.” Still I took
it as a joke but lately I started to think of it and felt like I was drowning
in love and was thinking it couldn't be one sided or is he also feeling the
same way; or is it just to tease me? These were the questions that kept on
ringing my ears bit I could not stop thinking about him. On 2nd may
he went to represent the college for basketball match with college of science
and Technology and our college was celebrating teacher’s day. I felt the day so
gloomy. Though I was with my friends, yet, I felt his absence. Knowing that he
would be back only by evening still I found myself stretching out and my eyes trying to find him
.That time I realized that missing
someone and not being able to see your loved one is the worst feeling ever.

| OUR WORLD..... |
The night, on teacher’s
day we went for dinner and I was again stretching my neck to see if I could
find him in the crowd and yes I did find him but he was just back from the
match. I just asked him, if he would come for the dinner and he responded
saying yeah he would. I just waited for him to change and come back but he didn't turn up. I couldn't give my friends a strong good reason for waiting
near by the dining hall instead of moving ahead for dinner. The night passed with strong waves of feeling
inside me and so many questions on my lips. The last week after I waited for
him we never met until the next week, we just went for a walk on the lonely
road on Saturday where we again talked so casually about the studies, matches
he played etc….we were just trying to act normal. I don’t remember a time where
we poured out our feeling to eachother. Every time we meet, we talk about the day’s
event. Still then I got as happy as I just needed a time to be by his side. By
the time we came back from that walk I wondered how were we able to hold each
other’s hands when we didn't express our feeling. He neither proposed me nor
shared his feelings but then we started holding our hands. We were couple by then, and that is how we
started our strange lover story on May 13th, 2007. Thereafter, it we
started seeing each other frequently, had our meals together and were most of
the time together. We have our meals together, we went for shopping together
and most of the time would be listening to the wind that blows around us and
just enjoy each other’s company. So within that period of time, we came to know
more about each other. A love story which happened without having to propose
but we just knew and felt, we were both in love. The
best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the
most unexpected time. So it did happen to me and I am happy that fate bought us
together for we are happily married with the God’s most beautiful gift to us.
Our love is made eternal through our beautiful daughter. I learnt that. To be
in love, it is not necessary to propose or say those three beautiful words, we
just need to feel it.
