This is about a moment that I and 'V' have shared together. I used to think about this all the time, specially when it is a cold winter night, late and when i'm lying on my bed, alone in my room.

Who is 'V' ? You might be having this question in your mind. Well, she was my girlfren, we broke up two years back. Yet, her memories are still alive in my mind each one of them.

I went to JORHAT, a small town in Assam, North East India. I was too eager to see her, meet her as she accepted my proposal after two long years. I met her. But, my concern is not the moments that we spent together. This post is only for that moment, in which we talked in silence.

It was the time for me to go. My bus was scheduled to leave at 6.30 pm. It was around 5.45 pm. I was there sitting in a chair in the station. I was recalling all those moments that I spent with her during the day. I had to stay only for a day as I was having exams coming up. All the memories were lingering around me. I was missing her so much. I wished to listen to her voice just once last time before leaving. 

That time I wasn't using cellphones neither did she. She was staying in the Hostel. So, I called up from a local Phone boot to her Hostel Phone. her room was on the far side of the hostel. And I never expect her to be the first to pick upthe called. I still remember clearly, it was at the end of the fifth ring, the receiver was picked up. I heard a familiar voice, and Lo.... it was her. She was waiting for my call. She said nothing else and then started crying. I felt her tears rolling down her cheeks. I couldn't say anything nor did dhe do. I was silent and neither she spoke a word more. 

Now it was more than 40 minutes without a single word. It was 6.28 pm and the bus had already arrived and all the passengers were onboard except for me. They were calling me. But, I couldn't say anything to her, i couldn't even move. Even in silence I can hear her telling me not to go. And I am sure that she must have felt that I don't want to go either. 

All of a sudden she broke her silence and said in a very weak voice "Your bus must be waiting, go safely, I am there by your side. I LOVE YOU". If she didn't break her silence I would have surely miss the bus. I give her a smooch and said goodnight and stepped onboard the bus. Whole journey I felt as if she was sitting by my side, leaning her head over my shoulder. Sometimes I would look over as if it were for real.

Though it has been quite a time, the moment is still fresh in my mind. But, I don't know how did she knew that the bus was waiting for me. She was in her hostel and that's quite far from the station. We spoke no words, yet we were talking to each other in silence. May be it was " Silence talks better than Words  ". 

We are no more together. But, she is still a part of me.

I don't think there can be anything more romantic for me than this !!

This girl "Venus", I have got my crush on her and her only. I saw her only once. But, felt something like I know her long time ago. She was such a pretty. I always had felt to capture every moment of her in camera. But, I don't have camera at that time, so can't do it.

I was after her for more than two years, then only she gave me the green signal. She was studying in some other place and I studied in another place. So, that evening itself when she said  I got into the bus and headed towards her place. It was the midst of Winter cold and I only with a jacket and a warm trouser, was filled with too much of enthusiasm. I was never allowed to travel alone, even for some few miles by my parents. They were too concerned about my safety as I was their only son. But, I don't know how I got the courage to go there. The place was totally unknown to me, only I know that her College was some 30.00 mins distance from the bus stop. I reached the place at 12.06 a.m. It was dark and very cold. I never thought that I could be that much cold. I was shivering hard. There was only one taxi and I ran towards it. I ask him to take me to the college in such a way that I know the place very well. Otherwise, I was scared that I may get thugged. 

It took around 30.00 mins to reach her college. I thought that there should be some hotels around the campus as it was quite a reputed college. I was thinking of spending the night in it if I get one. But, all of a sudden when I saw nothing like a hotel, I felt the cold more severely. It seemed like all my blood were frozen inside my arteries and vein. There were two security person at the gate. They were fighting the cold night with a small fire from firewoods. I walked upto them and ask if I can find a hotel nearby. The response, I knew it from before. They asked me what work do I have here. I lied that I had come to meet a friend. And to make it more real I added I can't go the hostels also as I don't exactly know which block and room number. They ask me to take the comfort of the fire with them. We talked for some minutes. Then one of them invited me to the security quater to spend the night there. I agreed as I felt good about them, and they seem to be harmless. I spend the night there in their quater. Then in the morning he dropped me to the PCO as I told him.

Now, one thing I didn't tell you before. My girlfriend doesn't know that I was coming there to meet her. I wanted this to be her first gift. I called her from the public call phone and told her "I will be waiting at the gate of your hostel." She was damned shocked. She didn't beleive me at first. Then I went to her hostel and was waiting for her outside the gate. She, after a little while came down. That moment was one of my most precious moment and will be one the bests. She was so pretty, wearing a purple SALWAR, with a silver earings with blue jems on it. She wore a light pink lipstick and her hair was a little wet. She might have came just after the bath. Nothing could have been more beautiful than her at that moment...........

I spend the whole day with her. She took me to many places she knew of. She make me feel that she loves me a lot and that was enough for me to live with.

This is my Perfect First Date. It was on the 31st of december, 2005. See I still remember everything.
