Dedicated to the_simple  😇This story was your idea. I hope I did justice with my words.

My sister and I studied in a boarding school. We both were good students and toppers of our classes. My sister was a  badminton player and the head girl of the school too.

I was a heart throb in my school. All the girls used to give me a whole lot of attention, even my seniors too. But I was not interested.

I was a lively, impish but an earnest boy. I would have a lot of fun and frolic with my gang, but at the time of evaluations, I would top my class.

This was an another reason, I was popular among girls. A tall, fair and good looking boy and a prolific student.

All my friends would envy me because of the attention I got and some would tease me too. They would ask me questions like... Which girl interests me?
Who is more beautiful?
With whom I would like to flirt with?
Who is my crush? And so on...

And my answer to all there curiosities would be the same ...

"None''

I was a boy of firm determination. No crush or fling things.........

Until......

I saw her.

############################

I was sitting in the cafeteria with my gang, when she entered with one of a ninth grade girl. She was a new comer. Just a look at her and I was lost .....

How can a girl be so simple yet so beautiful? She had ....

... mesmerising hazel eyes, I wanted to drown in.

... silken hair, I wanted to lose in.

... flawless skin, I wanted to feel.

... pink lips, I wanted to taste.

Gosh .... first time ever....I felt, I was loosing myself. Every time, I looked at her, she reminded me of ...

"A Rose"

Crimson, beautiful, lustrous, fresh and fragile.

###########################

She had such an impact on me, that I started following her everywhere. My friends would tease me, calling her name and telling me that I have a crush on her.

I would deny but deep in my heart, I would tell my self .....

*Its not just crush. She has a spell on me.*

One day, while going to my class,  I came across the fence of hostel with beautiful, red, illuminating rose shrub and my mind immediately drifted towards her.

I plucked a rose and ran towards her class. I knew where she would sit, so I stealthily kept the rose on her chair and stood outside the class window, to see her reaction.

She came near her seat and looked at the rose. She picked it up and glanced here and there in bewilderment. The bemused look on her face and a glint of annoyance in her eyes was turning me fanatic.

Her innocent contemplation added fuel to the fire and this crazy action became my ritual.

I would daily get a rose from the hostel fence and drop it at her seat. I would stand secretly and peep through the window to revel her mazed look.

I not only started adoring her but ......... Praying her.

############################

All this went on for few days and one day my sister called me and said, 'Hey Wish! I need your help, do you know that new girl in ninth grade. She is very upset and asked for my help.'

I was a bit baffled but said,'Well, yaa I know her. Why is she upset?'

My sister continued,'You know, there is some guy who is bothering her and she is so disquieted, that she can not pay attention towards her studies. Infact she burst into tears while telling me all this. She is pretty doleful.'

I was enraged to hear this. Who the hell had that much guts to bother my girl? I was highly annoyed and so I asked my sister who he was and what he did.

My sister continued,' Well, we don't know his name yet but that dumb guy drops a red rose on her seat daily and because of this all in her class have started teasing her. She is really depressed, Wish. Can you please find out who he is?'

My sister's words were like a splash of chilled water on my face. I felt as if I am bolted in a dark and dingy room and I couldn't breathe.

My sister shook me and I came out of my trance. I looked towards my sis' and said,' I am really sorry for her sis'. Tell her everything will be fine. All this will end from tomorrow.'

'But how will you find him? Do you know who is behind this?', she asked me with a curious look.

'Don't bother with the details, sis'. I have my sources. I promise you, it won't happen tomorrow.', i replied in a regretful tone.

And as promised, I stopped doing so but my feelings for her ... never ended, till the last day of my school.

Though I was never be able to confess my feelings for her, but I did say my last 'Good bye' to her, before leaving.

############################

I came back to my city and got admission in college but was unable to take those hazel eyes and flawless face out of my mind.

Soon, I realized, it was not just crush. I had profound feelings for her. I tried all means to get in touch with her but couldn't. My friends told me, that soon after I left school, she left too.

I tried to find her, get her whereabouts and bring her back in my life and confess but couldn't. All I could feel was ......

"Regret"

Slowly, I got engaged in my higher studies and forgot her.

And for me .....this story ended, ....

but ... ...

it is said that you never know, what fate has in store for you.

Five years later, while net surfing, I found her on social media.

All those amazing memories flashed through my mind and I sensed myself losing in her hazel eyes once again.

I don't know, what is written in our fate but ... ... ... ...

I am still a guy of firm determination. I gave up that time but ... ...this time ... ...I won't.

I know life is too short and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. With such thoughts in my mind and an unfaltering will ... ...  I typed a message and send it to her.

I don't know, if she would respond or not but at least I won't have any regret now.......
........that I didn't try.

*Its better try once now, than to regret later that you didn't.*
