Perceptions

Chapter 1

His Side of The Story:

I see her every day in college. She keeps looking at me. Damn, she is so pretty. I wonder if she has a boyfriend. But if she had a boyfriend then she wouldn’t be staring at me, right? But I never had a girlfriend before so I am not very much confident about these things.

She is from the other class so I never got to speak to her. I would like to though. But I have no clue what should I be talking about. I wonder if I should be friends with her first and then propose her or I should just ask her out. I think I should just ask her out because there is no doubt she loves me. If she didn’t then why would she keep staring at me, right?

It’s decided, I am going to talk to her. But now the question is, how do I do it? Should I ask her mobile number from one of her friends or should I ask some boy from her class to get her number from her friends because I am too shy to talk to girls. Damn, how will I even talk to her? I could send her a request on Facebook if I find out her name. I guess it will be better, texting should be easier than directly speaking to her.

Chapter 2

Her Side of The Story:

I see him every day in college. I keep looking at him. Damn, he looks so funny. I wonder if he has a girlfriend. But how could a funny looking guy like him have a girlfriend? Out of all the boys in the world, why would anybody fall for him, right?

He is from the other class but all my classmates make fun of him and, why shouldn’t they? After all a funny looking guy like him deserves to be teased. Ha Ha Ha… I have never spoken to him and why would I even want to speak to him? I wonder if his talks are also going to be funny just like his looks…

After some days…

You all won’t believe this. He went to the extent of sending a friend request to me on Facebook. I straight away blocked him. I mean what if my friends find this out? They might as well start teasing me. Why would I even take that risk? Now I won’t even look at him in college.

Chapter 3

After 8 years…

His Side of The Story:

I have realized that the girl I like in my college days did not like me. She must have kept staring at me because of my looks. But over the years I have realized that looks don’t matter. Today I am a big businessman famous all over India, known by everyone and I have all that I could have ever dreamt of except that girl. But I guess that was for the best. I would never want to be with her if she is going to judge me by my looks.

Her Side of The Story:

The other day we had a college reunion. We all knew that the guy we used to tease has become a famous businessman. But what irritated me at that moment was that just like before they had nothing to talk about but him. But this time they were talking about all the good things about him. The girls who used to make fun of him were now saying that they wish they could get an opportunity to date him. Like seriously? What’s wrong with them all? … 

…Wait why am I getting irritated? Is it because they were talking all good stuff about him or is it because I missed an opportunity to be the wife of the most famous businessman in India?
