It was just as coincidentally they got to know each other!
Just how fast she started to know him....that fast he became a stranger!
That was Ken she was thinking of! Her ex!
***
After her last paper she remembered Aru telling her that Ken want to meet her...and he was waiting in front of the school gate!!
As nervous as she was she still saw him while going out!!
And he confessed that he liked her!!
Without an answer she just went from there... saying that she needed time!!
Summer vacation started from then ....And ironically even before summer vacations ended....whatever it was between them...had ended too!!
From then...when new session started ....they never talked..!!
She didn't had the guts to approach him and talk....and he just treated her like stranger!!
So her hope that they would ever talk dwindled with time..! But still it was painful getting over that waiting and hoping that maybe someday they would talk once again!
Aru one day told "Lily forget it! He doesn't want to talk to you! He's no interested!"
She felt so stupid....but couldn't stop hoping!
But then Joe came!!!
And she didn't wait for him that much but still it was there somewat!
As Joe entered her life and everything reduced by alloott that missing feeling and that torturous waiting wasn't that abundant!!
Atlast it ended !!!
****
Joe made an positive difference in her life...gave a look forward to her otherwise stupid days!!
Like a first sunshine in the dark!! She didn't realize all that but she herself was noticing Joe more than often!!
Looking at him.... getting to know him n all!!
All the while being totally unaware of it!!
