This story by me is for entry into jerrybanfield's SUPERNATURAL WRITING CONTEST.
I don't know how it happened,I don't know how I was here but I am here and that is everything.I got to realise that I could love someone and the type of love I have experienced is no less than a supenatural coincidence and I feel like I am here because I was destined to love you and I could have found you nowhere except here.
I was basically a very quiet person from the early days of my life.I would just pick up my books ,sit down and experience all the joy needed to make life worthy by just reading.Whenever someone offered me to go to a party or something,I was like"I am sorry.You guys enjoy".And I would just sit for hours alone and listen to soft music and watch the stars at night and that was much better to me than other ways of relaxing.
When I was 5 years old,I suffered from severe pneumonia and malaria at the same time.It was too severe and everyone thought I would die.The doctor was sceptical about my life and he had already informed my mother that I was in a critical condition.It was around mid-day when there were a lot of people at my home who came to see me and I had a very high temperature.I suddenly stopped breathing and the doctor was like,"Oh god! the child is gone." Then everyone around started crying but I just got up from the bed and asked my mother fora note-book and a pencil and I started writing and reading.Each and every person present in the room was shocked.Why wouldn't they be shocked?A 5 years old girl declared as near dead by the doctor suddenly got up like a zombie and started reading and writing.I recovered after that and thanks to the event everyone started loving me much more than ever before.They said, "She is very special and she would make us proud."
I was a good student at school.I always topped my classes and school & I was a disciplined student.The teachers would love me for that and I was the favourite student for most of the teachers in the school.After completing my school,i joined a college where I topped the entrance and I opted for biological scienes. Since I had topped the entrance,everyone in the college knew me.They would come to me ,congratulate me and wanted to be friends with me.I was a quiet girl. Topping the class and standing first never mattered much to me.
There were of course a lot of boys in the class.I was close to many of them but just as friends.We actually had a big friend circle and it was a circle of career oriented students.I never talked much about anything else except studies with them.All these topics of love and romance never mattered to me.When other girls would talk about the lipstick and mascara brands ,I would just walk out because I had no idea about those things.My friends would talk about boy-friends and girlfriends ,what gifts and surprises they received and a lot about the how to lure girls and guys. They would constantly ask me about my boyfriend but I didn't have any.For them,all those behaviors of mine were because I had a boyfriend and he would not like me talking to other boys.I used to tell them repeatedly that I had no one in life but they would not believe.
One fine day when I was in the class ,a friend of mine came to me and he repeatedly told me to tell the name of my boyfriend.I was very much annoyed with the same question asked again and again.So I told him"His name starts from"A" and he studies inSt.Xaviers."I really don't know where those words came from.But I always wanted to study in St.Xaviers which was one of the finest colleges in the country and i had to choose a letter out of 26 alphabets and i chose"A".This was it.After that day,I started writing the letter "A" in bold at the front pages of notebook where each of my friends could see it easily and would not bother me again with the same question.
I passed out of the college and I started to prepare for the medical entrance since being a good doctor was the biggest dream of my life.I struggled a lot and tried my best and after one year I got selected for scholarship in medicine.But at that time there were a lot of changes being made in the medical entrance examination pattern and it was not sure whether I would get a chance to study or not.Even if I was to get a chance,I would have to wait for one year anyway for the new session.So I decided to study agriculture till then and I got selected in the Agriculture and forestry university.I went to the university and I was doing very well there.We stayed in a hostel.Everyone would talk about their boyfriends and I would say His name starts from A and he is preparing for medical entrance.He just passed out of St.Xaviers."The letter A became a way of escape for me from the conversations that I didn't want to get involved in and it was easy for me to turn off the proposals I got.
It was all going well.I had already completed one semester and I was in the second semester .I used to sleep very early at around 7pm or at most at 8pm.That day also I was asleep when I got a call from my friend and he told me that I was selected for studying medicine in the eastern most part of the country whereas I lived in the westermost part.My happiness knew no boundaries and I was in cloud nine.I just packed my bag and started my life in a new place.There were 15 students selected for scholarship in the college where I was studying.I used to talk to all 14 except one person.He was just the opposite of what I would consider ideal at least when I saw from outside.I used to sit in the second bench in the class and he always sat just infront me in the first bench.
Three years back a powerful earthquake brought a catastrophe in the country.Most of the buildings ,small and big,weak and strong all were destroyed.Just the same day,he didn't come to college.I had a strange feeling because he never missed classes.He didn't come the next day too.Then I just went to his friend and asked where he was.He said he went home.I was so upset.I had never talked to him and i didn't have his number.I asked for his number and called him just as afriend.I had no any other intentions.
"Hello!",I said and introduced myself.
That was the first time I remember hearing his voice.He was very upset .I explained that I just wanted to know if he was fine .He said he was fine.But his voice was so low.I didn't feel that everything was good so I decided to end the call because he was nearly a stranger to me and asking about his life was not my business.
The next day he called me and he told me "I don't know why I am telling you this but i feel like telling you everything."and he told me everything .I was literally shocked why I was interested in someone's personal life.But I promise his words gave me a sense of relief.It was like that was this is the voice I wanted to hear for ages and I could listen to him the whole day .

He came back and we would chat formally as friends.I don't know when he became the most beautiful part of my life.I was worried whenever I didn't see him.But since I was a sensitive girl,I was worried for others as well and I thought it was normal.One day he sent me some heart and flower stickers.I thought it was just by mistake so I didn't care.Later he told me that a senior boy in the college liked me and it was on his behalf that he had sent me those .He was acting as a mediator.I told him that I was not interested but I started becoming friends with him.We would chat formally .We shared literally all stories of life that I had never told anyone.He became a close friend and he felt like home.
One day I was talking to him when he told me that he had crush on a girl with same name as mine in St.Xaviers college.I was like" Oh!you are from St.Xaviers.I wanted to study there too.But I could not beacuse of financial issues."
Never even in my dreams had I thought I would fall for this guy.He was everything I never wanted.But slowly,when I knew him better ,he was everything I wanted.I never decided to fall in love with him.But i had fallen for him with my deepest soul.I never told him because I was afraid that we had completely different cultural backgrounds.We knew it was difficult so we never told anything to each other.We tried a lot to end the friendship for not falling in love.But it was all destined.I couldn't stop falling in love with him,each day more and more.I didn't need to hold his hands and carry on romantic conversations.It was something beyond it,something magical.I started to feel that I never fell in love before so as to serve him the purest and deepest love .
Now when I realise that THE St.XAVIERS AND THE LETTER "A" WAS ALWAYS MEANT FOR HIM.THE HEART THAT NEVER FELT ANY ROMANTIC LOVE IN ALL THOSE TEEN YEARS WAS FALLING IN LOVE AT THE TIME OF MATURITY.AND WITH A PERSON I NEVER IMAGINED. THANKS TO MY LIFE THAT IT DIDN'T LEAVE ME EVEN WHEN I WAS AT THE VERGE OF DEATH.THANKS TO THE PERSON WHO TOLD HIM TO TALK TO ME.THANKS TO MY DESTINY WHO BROUGHT ME TO THISCOLLEGE .THANKS TO HIM WHO ALSO CHOSE THE SAME COLLEGE.THANKS TO HIS NAME WHICH STARTED FROM"A" AND HIS St.XAVIERS COLLEGE.THANKS TO OUR SIMILAR INTERESTS IN MEDICINE THAT BROUGHT US HERE.THANKS TO THE GIRL HE HAD CRUSH ON WHOSE NAME SAME AS MINE MADE HIM CHERISH MY NAME BEFORE I MET HIM.THANKS TO MY HEART THAT CHOSE HIM AMONG 7 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND GAVE ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CO-INCIDENCES OF MY LIFE. THANKS TO ME WHO SENSED HIS PRESENCE FAR BEFORE HE CAME IN LIFE.THANKS TO THE FRIEND WHO ANNOYED AND MADE ME WRITE HIS NAME.HAD I NOT EXPERIENCED THESE CO-INCIDENCES,I WOULD NOT HAVE VALUED HIM THIS MUCH.THANKS TO GOD FOR GIVING ME A PERSON I WOULD NEVER WANT TO REPLACE IN MY LIFE.THANKS TO HIM FOR LOVING ME DESPITE ALL THOSE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN US AND NEVER GIVING UP.THANKS FOR THE LOVE BEYOND ROMANCE .THANKS FOR ONCE IN A LIFE-TIME LOVE"
