It was just another day that day but Arjun was giving me more attention than usual. Throughout the lecture, he was
turning back and eyeing me.
“I love you more than anything else in
the world Khushi and I want you to be mine, forever,” confess Arjun standing
next to me in the corridor later, his eyes glittering with love.
My wildest dream had come true. He was my
soul mate in every way. We shared many interests and were friends right from
kindergarten. I loved him, but had never felt bold enough to tell him that.
We had no class after that hour, as the
inter-collegiate badminton matches were starting in our college that day.
We
hold hands the entire time, watching the matches.
“The beauty and the beast,” commented someone
from a group of boys passing by, making the whole group burst out laughing, looking
at us.
Arjun began to get up to give them an apt
answer but I pull him back.
“No Arjun..That is quite crazy. Someone calling
you a beast doesn’t make you one. But reacting to their comments like a beast,
will sure make you one,” I say.
His beard and mustache made him look like a
beast. No wonder the boys were tempted to comment. I was forever telling him to
get rid of them. But he never listened.
Next day was Valentine’s Day and I had bought
a red T-shirt as a gift for Arjun.
I hear everyone gasp and I turn to look.
It is my Arjun!!. His clean shaven look bowled me over. I fall in love with him all over again.
It is my Arjun!!. His clean shaven look bowled me over. I fall in love with him all over again.
He comes near me and whisper, “Aren't we now 'The Beauty and the Handsome prince'?”
I laugh.
