My First Love
It was the first day of my Degree College. I had decided
to take Bachelor in Mass Media course. Well I had
decided and planned my life well after my college, with
the view just that I didn·t want my parents nagging me
that I was aimless. Well I still remember that dayvividly«. I·m extremely sorry I have been impolite and
haven·t introduced who I am, I·m Rachel Thomas a
young adult capable of taking and making the right
decisions, whitish, medium height, well a little more
than plumy but I don·t appreciate being called fat, dark
brown eyes and black wavy hair and my friend·s
consider me to be very jolly and insanely crazy. Well
this is a small introduction about me. Getting back to
the main topic, my first day in college, well it wasn·t all
that great, yet not so pleasant. I felt quite alone as I
was a long way away from home and also not even a
single friend of mine was with me. It was a totally new
place, new people and a new adventure. Well I felt quite
lonely but successfully made my first acquaintance in
the class with a boy named Allwyn Fernandes. As the
day was passing I noticed HIM for the first time ever.

He seemed so idiotic at the first sight, nothing pleasing
about him at all, and at the first sight itself I felt a
repelling force that had a great deal of disgust too on
my part. Everything about him even the sight of him
made me hate him. We all have that few people just
their sight can make our day go from good to worse;
well HE was the same for me.
I didn·t even bother to find out his name, as I didn·t findanything interesting in HIM in the first place. I decided
I·d just refer to him as HIM. Like taking his name was
some kind of taboo! Well he behaved so childish and
unmannered that I disliked HIM obviously, I am quite
mature and prefer playing around only when it·s the
right time and not anytime and every time. Well to mysurprise the day finally got over and I rushed back
home as I needed to sit in silence and contemplate over
the events of the day.
A few days went by and as an assignment we all were
asked to interview our classmates to know something
more about them, I was quite an introvert and didn·t
intend on doing this but in the end I just had to. I
couldn·t run away from HIM and had to learn about

him as well, and I learned that his name was Neel
Sharma and a few of HIS likes and dislikes I jotted
down but during the conversation the one thing I kept
noticing were his eyes, he had beautiful I mean
beautiful green-brown eyes! One thing that fascinates
me the most is colored eyes! Well that was that and I
didn·t interact with him after that. I considered that to
be a sudden and short distraction that·s all.
As the days passed on HE just seemed to be a nuisance
in the class and created a lot of disturbance along with
his friends during the lectures. I don·t approve of this
behavior on anyone·s part; it is just as immature as this
level, at this age. He kept falling low in my sight but I
knew he didn·t care at all, as a matter of fact he also fellin the eyes of the teachers, but many students seemed
to like him and I failed to understand why? I did not
interact with him all through the semester even once
and considered of keeping it that way till the end of my
degree.
During our Diwali vacations for the first time ever I
spent time with him and with my friends over our
project. It was against all desires that I had to

withstand his idiocracy. Well just for my friends I
started making an effort to jell-up with him so as to not
create too much friction and create chaos in the group.
By the end of the vacations and with the end of our
project I still felt repelled at the sight of him. The
beginning of the second semester brought a ray of hope
that I wouldn·t have to deal or put up with him
anymore, but I soon came to learn that my hopes had
gone down the drain. I started feeling lonely again; he
got close to all my friends and started conversing withthem more than I did. As usual I tried my best at
ignoring everything and HIM the most. I felt very
insecure and started acting weird around my friends.
I wanted to voice my feelings to them but I just thoughtthat would be selfish and ridiculous of me, I realized I
was behaving immature. Well as the days passed on
according to the syllabi we had an industrial visit
planned out by our college. I realized I·m going to be
stuck with people whom I don·t fancy for a week. It was
hard to digest but at the same time exciting as I would
also be with my friends! The day came soon that we had
to leave for our destination and with bags full of clothes
and excitement and with a sudden weird feeling of
freedom as we were leaving our parents and homes

behind and venturing out to the UNKNOWN! Well
technically not unknown as once in our childhood we
had studied about the place we were about to visit.
My friends and I had decided that we would make the
most of this vacation that we were having! We all split
up and started getting acquainted with all the other
students. I unfortunately was stuck with HIM and his
friends. I enjoyed with the boys but I also felt weird as I
started witnessing a totally a different side of HIM. I
actually started having fun in his company.
We reached our destination and proceeded to our hotel
and I believed that our short time of friendship ended
with that. I was in for a lot of surprises were an
undeniable fact. My group and I had gone through sometension and differences and hence I started hanging out
with boys as my group consisted of girls. HE seemed to
be everywhere I went with the boys. I started feeling
odd, something I got confused about. I felt abandoned
by my girlfriends and so I started hanging out with the
boys even more than ever. In all of this I started getting
used to his presence, I couldn·t sit quietly in one place, I
started getting restless in his absence even if it were for
a couple of minutes. We would play this weird game of
exchanging identities and I kind of enjoyed it. I realized

I wasn·t being myself. I was becoming like HIM! In a
day·s time we became inseparable? Strange but true!
We started behaving like a couple. Sitting together
while we travelled to our destinations, eating together,
joking and talking about all the possible things we
could think of!
I had even confessed to him what I felt about him before
the trip. He said he thought of me as a snob. I sure feltinsulted, but that was the way I portrayed myself. It all
seemed too good to be true; well I was quite the
Doubting Thomas! Kept doubting anything and
everything, good or bad that happened to me. Then
there came the bad phase of this perfect temporary life
of mine, we were heading back home. On our way backboth of us stuck together like a Siamese twin. Spend
each moment till we reached the train station and
departed. We kept in touch through messages but
somehow it just didn·t feel the same. As our college
started again there was something different in his
behavior. He had changed overnight. All of a sudden he
stopped talking to me, didn·t answer my calls, and
didn·t look me in the eye. I felt shattered and saw
myself getting into a shell. I started avoiding everybody
and even stopped attending lectures.

We were celebrating Rose Day in college and to my
surprise HE brought me half a dozen red roses and
apologized for his behavior stating that he was mislead
by his friends and they started filling his ears with lies.
He said he had never taken any girl seriously until he
met me, with me he felt like there was some scope; he
felt challenged when he was with me and tried to be
perfect around me. He said that he never felt love until
he spend time with me and that his friends kept
misleading him all the time but he ignored it all and
continued being with them as he just wasn·t ready to
grow up then, he said he was ready to take
responsibility for himself and for me! He said he wanted
to be with me no matter what anyone said, he thought I
was the ONE and nothing else mattered and spending
his lifetime with me and growing old together with me
was his only wish now. He knelt down and asked me
prove to all that nothing is perfect and we as
individuals weren·t perfect, at least he thought he
wasn·t but I was perfect the way I was and I made him
perfect when with him. Suddenly he said to me, ´there
may be many flowers in a man's life, but there is only
one rose. And that rose is you! And I know you come
with thorns but dear who doesn·t?µ All this while I just

kept looking at him with tears in my eyes I knelt down
myself and hugged him and cried out to him the words I
wanted to hear but he couldn·t say but expressed in the
most beautiful, dramatic way I had ever dreamt of
hearing« ´I LOVE YOU! You are the one I·ve truly
loved and will always love!µ And that day I realized I
finally got what I had always dreamed of, my own
Prince Charming not in a shiny armor yet my own fairy
tale were I played the princess in real life and not in my
dreams! What more could a girl wish for other than aguy who would love her for what she is and love her
more than herself or anybody could ever! I realized life
isn·t always fair in giving you exactly what you would
want but you sure do get what you rightfully deserve!
Doesn·t always mean something shinny, it could also be
rusty for all you care just as long as you realize thediamond hidden within!
