His Destination

CHAPTER:- 5

Yesterday

At night

Animesh was trying to sleep after the intense conversation about love and family with Abhi. He was now more confused with his own feelings. Sleep was far away from his eyes. He became frustrated. The indoor air started to suffocate him. He watched the calm nature through the window and decided to inhale some fresh air from outside.

He woke up and took his car keys from the upper shelf. He drove his car and moved out of the apartment without informing Abhi. After fifty minutes, he stopped his car near a lonely place. It was calm and composed due to the absence of humans.

Animesh's pov

I drove the car towards the outskirt of city and soon reached at a open field. At some distance there was a small cottage. This was the place where I used to hide from the world. The whole place belonged to my Mamma. No one except  Mamma and Dad, had idea about this place's existence.

The place was outside to city. At the midnight hour it was totally silent and peaceful. I opened my car door and came out. I recalled how dad took me here with mamma every year on my birthday. We celebrated at the midnight hour. I cut the cake and feed both of them. Then we left from here and celebrates my birthday with everyone. Nobody knew about our secret celebration.

Once I asked both of them about this secret place out of curiosity. At that time we were returning from here after my fifth birthday celebration.

That time Mamma said to me that this place have a kind of magic. If you will come here with your loved ones,then your love will bloom. I was a child then to understand the intensity of the word, love.

When I met Janhavi, I felt something different inside my heart. It was beating rapidly. It was creepy to stalk an unknown girl, but I secretly observed her. The way she freed the butterfly without harming the spider web attracted me more towards her.

When she went from there, I felt as if I lost something very close to me. Is this love? Oh God! What I am thinking now! I will be mad if I will listen to that stupid Abhi's useless lectures more often.

End of Pov

He always watched his parents love blooming with passing time. He always wished to have a life partner as his mother, Amrita singh Shekhawat. She was a lady with high value and words. She was a perfect daughter, perfect sister, perfect wife, perfect daughter in law, perfect mother. But one day changed everything. The day his parents divorced, he ended his beliefs on love.

But after a lot of time he noticed someone.he felt something that was still unknown to him.

Animesh slept there thinking about his bittersweet life.his sleep broke at morning. He woke up and realized his state. He collected his belongings and drove his car back to home.

While coming back he again got a glimpse of her at the nearest temple. He applied break to stop the car and got down to get a clear view of the serenic beauty. Although his mind warned her to drive away, the heart stopped his hands to start the engine again.

She was distributing Prasad to the beggars. He watched her every movement. He was so lost in her to realize her presence near him. She offered Prasad to him without looking at his face. He watched her selfless figure and took the Prasad. Unknowningly he choked, Janhavi worriedly rubbed his back and offered water to him. For the first time he felt her touch and realized indeed she was the one.

He returned to his apartment and got ready for college. For the first time he couldn't decide what to wear. Well he never dressed to impress anyone. He was always confident about his look. There was a competition among the girls to get his attention. But he never cared. A lot of things were happening for the first time since she entered into his life.

Then he hurriedly got ready and reached at the college. There he was informed about fresher's party. Being college president he visited every class to announce with his fellow mates.

Lastly they went to the biology department. They took permission and entered. His eyes fell on his butterfly. She was looking exactly like a butterfly in the green dress with red prints. Suddenly she looked at him and he turned back. They announced about fresher's party schedule. All the time he felt her gaze upon him. He left the class with a smile on his face.

All the day he only thought about her. He badly missed her. He was confused about his own thoughts and actions. May be love can make you insane.

To get his sanity back, he went towards the backside of college. The place where he for the first time saw his butterfly. He was playing a tune when she arrived. Suddenly he froze. She looked confused and annoyed as a child who didn't get a candy. He just admired her for few times and then left.

On his way at the college entrance, He met a young boy selling flowers. Seeing those flowers, He suddenly remembered about her. He gave the boy 2000 rupees and instructed him to give it to his butterfly.

As the college time was over and everyone were left. So there was no much crowd. For that flower seller it was not difficult to find the girl in Indian wear among all those western-dressed girls.

He watched her every expressions carefully with the flowers. His heart broke at her action but soon he smiled at her innocence. He found her stealing the flower secretly from the bucket to be cute. Indeed she was meant to be his.
