Puppy Love-Part 3

Rahul became, a nowhere to be found reminiscence, for Rhea. Her curriculum kept her occupied. She was not any more the same charismatic, chirpy and striking as she used to be. Course of incidents made her look older then her age. She became the least attractive lass of her college, for all she hunted to do was to study. She assumed, it was lack of her hard work, and concentration, that stopped her from being an IItian . Yes, she could not clear her entrance to be eligible for IIT. For now, she was part of a private engineering college. To make her present better, she just wanted to score unsurpassed and get placed in some good company. May be where IITians get placed.

The ORKUT era-

Social media had just taken its preliminary steps. Orkut was most fascinating tool for the juvenile of that generation. It was a blessing in disguise for the ones who did not have many friends or for those who did not have anything to do other then checking out other’s life. Regrettably, Rhea was one of them. She felt disregarded by god for putting her where she was. She never felt like talking with people but she loved checking updates and photographs of others, only leisure she had.

Shriya sends a friend request-

One swift day, Rhea finds a friend request, from Shriya, on Orkut. She could feel the blow of old thoughts, knocking her mind, all over again. All she wanted to ask Shriya was about Rahul,” Where is he?How is he?Did he miss me?, but she could not and restrained herself to making a simple post. “Nice to see you. How are you. Are you In touch with other classmates”.

Shriya did not seem to be much of an online person, for Rhea has been waiting for her reply, which she finally got after an interlude of 2 months. “Hi, I am doing well. Yes, I am in touch with all except Rahul. I don’t know where he is. His dad got transferred soon after you left this place and hence no whereabouts”.

Rhea sobbed entire night. “Yes, I still have feelings for Rahul, I still want to convene him. Where is he lost? He might be waiting for me somewhere. I need to know where he is. He is my love “, sulked Rhea.

Can Orkut Help?

It was weekend. Rhea already had her plans for the same. She knew she has to rummage around for Rahul and what else could be a better place then Orkut. She typed “Rahul Kapoor” and there were thousands of Rahul Kapoor. She felt lost and disheartened.

She managed to congregate the audacity and sat back unwavering. “No matter what, ill check all the profiles and ill find him”.

Rhea depleted 2 months checking thousands of profiles but she couldn’t. She lost all hopes and battered herself for thinking about Rahul again.

“Uh, books are my only best friend and true love, may be”. She smirked.

The day comes-

Like any run of the mill day, Rhea logged into her system, intending to stalk profiles and pass her time. “Should I give, one last try, again?” and she couldn’t stop her hands to type his name.

18th profile for the day, 19th profile for the day but she failed again. She was all swayed to log out but then her delight seemed no have no boundaries. “OMG, OMG,Rahul, I found him finally. Yes its him”. She patted herself for completing the heroic job. “Oh, his profile is locked. How would I know about his whereabouts? Never mind, ill send him a request. I am sure he must be waiting for it. I am sure he would jump to joy, after seeing me again. Once he adds me, ill fight with him, how could he not reply to my letters or I wont talk to him.” deliberated Rhea while sending Rahul the friend request.

Rahul adds Rhea-

Rhea was dreadfully waiting for the college to get over today for she knew Rahul would have accepted her request and he must be waiting to chat with her.

Rhea signs into the Orkut and yes she was correct. Rahul had accepted her interest. She was in the air and dancing and singing but nothing could confine her happiness. “Ive found the love of my life back, which I had lost because of my foolhardiness. I wont let him go anywhere now, ill embrace him tightly, everlastingly”.

It did not take a click’s time for Rhea’s to get traumatized. Rahul’s COMMITTED. She could not swallow what she saw on her screen . Rahul’s relationship status was committed. She did not take less then a minute to check his wall to find all the romantic posts he had dedicated to his girl friend.Rhea deleted and blocked Rahul from her list.

Further that, Rhea had hundreds of sleepless nights trying to forget Rahul. Blaming, cursing, abusing herself to have lost Rahul, when he told her upfront, “I love you. “

Rhea now-

Today Rhea is triumphant. She made it large and cracked the best company. She is all confident and back to her charismatic self. People around her love her,respect her. Rahul was the only person Rhea liked, but moved on calling it a Puppy Love. She is still single and all she is waiting for is her parents to search some one for her where she makes herself better by saying “My husband will be “the one” I have been waiting for, and this wait would be worth.
