Mine

Chapter 9

Janvi saw Rajat standing above her yelling “You murderer!!” as she lost her consciousness... Rahul and Shilpa ran to help her... As Rahul was tending to Janvi, Shilpa yelled “Are you out of your *BEEP* mind? If she was a murderer, Why was she not ready to marry anyone or not interested in marriage, did you ask her about that? How dare you accuse her?! Wilson died long ago and so did a part of Janvi!”. “Don’t tell me sob stories!! I have witnessed what happened first hand! Wilson breathed his last in my arms…. I saw the pain in his parent’s eyes, where was she then, when his soul left his body? His parents showed me his last message to her… you know what it said?? it said "I drank the poison” and you know what… your so called friend replied with heart emoji." What kind of monster sends a heart to someone who’s literally ready to die for her… He killed himself because she was cheating on him, she has played with his emotions and that pushed him off the edge!!” Rajat shot back. “Wow!” clapped shilpa “that's amazing…. Your imagination is out of this world” she replied sarcastically.

Rajat was visibly disturbed at shilpa’s mockery “Wha- are you serious? that is not my imagination… Wilson's parents told me that… I saw the messages!”. “Are you that blind Rajat! You do know that every coin has 2 sides, right? You heard one side of the story and concluded that she was the one who pushed him to kill himself?... If she is the reason for his death, why would she have his photo in her mobile? And why would it be the first and the last thing she sees every day and night??” Rajat thought for a while, Rahul said “Shilpa is right… how can we blame Janvi? without knowing the entire story”. “I need not prove anyone what Wils meant to me!” Everyone looked down to see janvi siting up, still slightly giddy from the fall…. “Let’s just leave this here come on Shilpa let's go” said Janvi. Shilpa helped Janvi get up and they walked towards the door. “Look at her just walking away…. This shows she is at fault and that Wilson was an idiot to lose his life for such a girl” "STOP IT!!!! not another word about my Wils" yelled Janvi. “Tell me… tell me why you let him die” questioned Rajat... After shedding few drops of tears, Janvi sighed…..

Flash back

I was in second year of my college, a happy teenage girl with no worries about life... I wasn't an introvert but I was very careful about choosing my friends. It was a week since college started, I accidentally bumped into someone “Watch where you’re going!? Which department are you from? What's your name?” Asked a handsome boy. I was too dumbstruck to say anything and just kept staring at him, he said “Are you going to answer me or should I punish you for bumping on me?”. His arrogance brought me out of my daze…. I stared right into his eyes and said “I will not answer your question, do whatever you can”. “How dare you speak to your senior this way?” he said, “Senior… oh wow… but I have never seen you in the college in the past year, where did this senior come from all of a sudden??” I questioned. His eyes bulged out of his socket, He realized I was his Senior” uhhh- I am sorry…. I just thought of pranking the new girls” he gave a sly smile. That’s when Sachin, my classmate came stood beside me asking me if there is any problem, “Nothing” I said. Alright then…. come on let’s go, next class is gonna start” he said and i walked with Sachin.

The last bell rang and as I walked out of the classroom, he appeared out of nowhere….. he came stood right in front of me and apologized his heart out. “What's your name?” I asked "Wilson" He replied, with a nod I walked away from there. 

Everyday I saw him in the college, he would always smile at me but i never bothered to even return a smile. 

It was a month now, I was sitting alone under the big tree in the campus. He came with a flower and said "Happy Senior's day" I looked at him wondering what he was saying. “What Senior's day? Does that even exist?” I asked. “I don’t know. And I don’t really care… I decided to get a smile in return” he said. I laughed out loud took the flower from his hand and slightly hit him with it. “Can we be friends?” he asked looking into my eyes and i said “yes”.

As friendship grew strong, he became very protective and possessive about me. It was my birthday and he knew it. I expected he would call me at 12am only to be disappointed. Next day in the college I expected him to wish me when I saw him walking towards me, but he was very casually talking to me, after few seconds I got so very irritated and I started hitting him. He stopped me and asked why, I said “it's my birthday today you big dummy!! I thought you would be the 1st person to wish me but you don't even know it.” “I know it's your birthday, reason why I didn't wish you is because every year you are growing old!”, “so What?” I questioned with anger. “I am scared what that you might reject me because I am a year younger to you” he replied tilting his head down and looking to my eyes for some sort of reaction. “I don't understand” I said. He placed a gift box on my lap took a deep breath and said "Janvi I love you! take your time and think about it…… tell me how you really feel about me… but don't reject me Just because I am younger than you” he said and walked away. 

I was in shock I never expected this from "Wils". I wasn't sure whether to open the gift or not, fearing that he might take it as a positive sign…. I decided to open the gift anyway, it was beautiful gold keychain which had our names engraved on it, there was also a note which said will you be "Mine" I didn't know how to react. I quietly got back to class, I never saw Wils for the rest of the day.

It was more than 2 days and we both never spoke to each other. On the 3rd day he quietly came sat beside me in my classroom. “what are you doing here? I asked. He said “forget about my proposal, please talk to me casually… I can't live without talking to you”. I said “ok I will see you in the lunch break…. now go” with a smile he walked away. 

I met Wils in the lunch break, he said “Jan please talk to me, last 2 days was hell without you beside me. let us be friends, but remember my love for you will never fade away I will wait for your "yes". That doesn't mean I am going to torture you every day asking you to love me. For you now I only request you to be with me and be the old Janu”. I simply nodded my head but somewhere deep inside I started liking Wils. 

Months passed I completed my 2nd year and was in 3rd year now and Wils was in his 2nd. One day while riding my bike, I met with a minor accident, I hurt my leg. Wils came to the hospital to see me, my right leg had bruises down from my knee to the toe. it was bleeding. the pain I saw in his eyes was more than what I was feeling the day. I decided he is the one for me.
