Board Exam Love Story

It was not so pleasant morning, the wind was cold and harsh, birds were chirping but they were blemishing my mood. What! You thought of some majestic lines. No no nothing can't be perfect when you have your exam and that to 'board exam', this word was necessary to impart the maximum stress. I want to be calm and relaxed but it was difficult to implement. My mother told me: don't be afraid son, you know everything. Don't panic and your paper will be good. These words actually helped me out and went for the battle, I mean the exam(Board exam).

I went to my friends. They were standing near the main entrance of the allotted centre. Their facial expression was like as if I am seeing my mirror image. Infact the whole environment was tensed. Every eye questioned who knows more? Funny! A little bit yes.

I joined my friends but my eyes were looking for someone else. Who? There she is in the uniform with all the makeup stuff on her face. She was looking pretty, as usual with a big cheerful smile on her face accompanied by her father, I guess. She joined her friends and a voice came:

Hello! Heyy, Kitna pada? One of my friends asked me. I resumed to the present world and said: covered all topics. There used to be days when we came prepared for the exams. These were the ones. Nevertheless, I looked at her and smiled, this was done in order to mark my presence. It worked and she waved me Hi! And then said best of luck! With the thumb thing. I reciprocated the same and she resumed with her friends. Is that it? I told to myself that I'll talk later. I went to the main entrance and glanced as to what room number I have to sit.

204..20..4 there it is Room No. 401. I turned my back but then stopped and thought how about checking her room number as well. I searched her room no. and it came out to be 403. Okk! It wasn't that convincing but it's fine. We went inside and I was about to enter my room she yelled my name and I turn around as to check what happened. She was standing opposite my room. I wondered how come 403 is opposite to 401.

She said: aren't you nervous?

I sort of flashbacked and said: No, not at all. You?

She said: Little bit, with a smile.

I told her: see you after the exam and best of luck. She did with that thumb thing and went. Why I ended the conversation with this note? Because I don't talk to anyone just before the exam. Maybe that's why!

Paper got finished and the best part is it went good. We both exchanged our paper reviews and started talking which we generally do, to be more precise she does and I listened.
