'Him'

Infancy Pov!

Sitting in one of the biggest libraries, I looked straight to witness a couple,

They look cute together, by the boy's gaze I can say, he's in love.

I don't know what he said to her that made her blush, her cheeks flushed.. Unknowingly I started smiling.

Woah!

To be in love. After moving here for the job, I never thought about love. Whenever I think about love, Aman's face is the only thing that makes me feel less suffocated.

There was a time where I really wanted to be in love, spending quality time with them, giving them what they wanted, loving them the way they wanted to be loved!

Living here, apart from family, often I feel alone. There was time, I really thirst about travelling the world, getting out of the country and living alone.

But, the thirst turned into an urge, when I really wanted to get away from Aman and Aman's memory.

Living here, I do earn a lot. I do a lot of things that I never imagined. Exploring the world in a most beautiful way. Missing the family is the only sadness here.

The girl in front of me, going front and back because he said something in her ear, every time she goes back, he places his hand in the chair's corner to not let her get hurt..

Wow, Men in love.
Really beautiful!

I've booked the tickets, the hospital scheduled some surgery cases..it should be finished before return, then I'll be returning to India the next day. So I've to stay here for a month.

Poonam asked me to go to her marriage a week ago, now I'll be landing two days before her marriage.

After going home, I'll go back to her marriage. She called me yesterday and protested to make me appear a week before. She thought I was pranking but when I sent my tickets to her, she believed.

But,

Will I see him again?

How will I react?

Did he remember me?

How is she?

Was she never a true friend to me?

Did she?

Do they still dating?

Sighing... I looked at my mobile. There is a conference meeting that is going to be held today at seven.

The chairman asked me to attend the meeting in the place of our senior surgeon.

I have to be there at sharp.

******


It's been one and half an hour, and the meeting is still going on.. The problem is quite prevalent.

But, what is the motto of this meeting?

I couldn't comprehend the reason why our chairman sent me here, when other doctors are interested to be a part of this conference.

Suddenly, 'Ms. Infancy'

I looked at the doctor who's been talking about the recent prevail point mutated tumor in the oral cavity.

'This is the finest offer, to be part of the anti- cancer community with globally accredited doctors, your chairman enrolled you' he said,

What!?

Globally accredited doctors of the anti cancer community?

And I am going a part in that?

'Congratulations your application was approved and they said you're qualified. There will be an internship of a year there with a big sum of happiness and stipend. Congrats, Ms. Infancy'

I stood up, if I looked at my face in the mirror, I might puke. Damn, my mouth was wide open bruh!

Working and learning in a big community like this was a big opportunity and adventurous experience.

Oral cancers are life sucking diseases, I'll see various cases and plan a treatment. I smiled at them. They gave me a uniform and ID card.

'With you, there will be three doctors from different countries who will join you. You will be working as a team together. All the best'

Four in the team!?

'Maa, it's a big opportunity. I didn't know our chairman had a good impression about me'

'Of course, my daughter is the best. He might be impressed by your skills' Maa said,

I chuckled at her response, then I shared this news with my whole family and my friends.. Moments like these make me miss him even more..

There was a time, I did put him in all my future plans and fantasies. Now getting a glimpse of him is the hardest thing to happen.

He's the major source, which drove me to what I did achieve today.

I switch on the TV, a football match is going on.. His memories flooded me.

The first match in the sports meet of our college, I saw him playing football like he's the king. The moment felt beautifully long, I've realised the thirst of him to the game.

He knows what he's doing. He never fails to amaze me. He turns, I'm lost.. He smiles Oh no I'm dead.

Silly me!

The call interepted the moment of his memories,

'Hello, Poonam? ' I said,

'How are you Infuuu? ' the voice?

'Jooo, hey how are you? Is Yam with you? And Maddy too? ' I asked perplexed,

'Yeah, yeah! How are you infancy?' Sue asked,

I can hear the background noises,

'We're here, in our college. It's a college day' she said,

'Helloooo?' I laughed at his tone,

'Kinny? You too, yesterday you didn't say that you're going?' I asked him,

'Dii, I didn't know that I was going. Suddenly, in the morning she said we should go and I'm here' I laughed,

'Where is she? ' I asked,

'She's with her batchmates, you missed it dii and here we're missing you so much' he said,

'Oh, okay. How is she? Yesterday too she's not well right' I asked,

'Yes. She's struggling but she's handling it well. Pregnancy is hard but it's a beautiful phase dii, seeing her with a big bump.. She's really beautiful' his voice turned slow, tears rolled from my eyes,

The family I created in the college, we're five, the most beautiful thing that ever happened in my college life.

'Helloo? ' I smiled at her voice, she is the major source of my happiness,

'How are you, huh? ' I asked,

'I'm fine, when are you coming? ' I teared up just by her voice,

'I'll come soon, Ammu' I said to her,

Kinny and Ammu are the best source of happiness in my life, the college did give me a pure friend in my life, Roshan.

He's the best friend of mine,

'Neil? Rikash? Roshan? ' I laughed,

'How are y'all? ' I asked them,

'Fine, how are you? ' Neil asked,

'Good! ' I replied,

'Hey, come soon. We're waiting for you' Roshan said,

'Hmm...How is your fiance? ' I asked,

Suddenly the phone passed,

'She's fine' I heard the voice,

'Ancy' tears flooded, my throat felt tied,

'How are you? ' his voice,

'Aman? ' I questioned,

'Hmm' I smiled, hurt and broken, I missed him.. I want to scream at him,

I closed my eyes, the background loud music slowly turned silent, he's going away from everyone.. Like the first time,

When I asked him to come alone, I said my feelings to him for the first time.. That time I asked him to come alone... Now he himself detached from everyone.

His breaths reached my heart, I didn't open my eyes.. I never wanted this moment with him.. But now I don't want it to end.

'Why did you lose the version of you that I liked the most?

That made me lose the version which loved you dearly! '

I smiled, the note I wrote in one of the letters which is waiting for him to caress!

'How are you? ' I asked,

'Fine. You? ' he asked,

'Hmm, good! ' I said, I'm lost in words, I don't know what to say,

'Infancy? ' I heard the voice from the background,

He said a simple hmm!

The phone passed to someone who was asking,

Maybe a batchmate,

'Hello? ' I said, the line was silent, painfully silent,

'Hello'

'Hello? '

Then I cut the call, again I tried to call but the network went busy!

Crashing!!

Who is that?

I look at the picture which we took at Onam celebration in our 1st year,

I looked at him, he might have changed a lot!

I looked at the picture until my eyes got sore,

Then my mobile tinged with notifications,

'Why did you cut the call? I didn't want to be nosy but Faiza is still waiting for your calls? She was desperate to talk to you. But you cut the call. Talk to her'

From Aman!

Great!

Still taking sides for Faaiza!

Of course, she's his girlfriend.

Who am I?

Nobody!

I typed,

'I didn't know that she was on call and the call got crashing I didn't hear-'

I deleted it.. Anyways he don't care!

I replied!

'Thank you for the information' I replied and left the mobile on the counter itself,

Why am I still can't move on?

Idiotic me, still searching for the hope!

When there is not even a bit of hope!
