We knew each other just by our faces for long, and that too through common friends. I was a newcomer in Kolkata, and after joining Kolkata medical College, I really didnot have the courage to go and talk to any girl.And even she didnot have the interest to talk to me. But one fine morning, we met in orkut. Now, it was a great chance to talk to her as because I was not facing her then. It was 7th of may, 2010. I was in Burdwan preparing for the upcoming board exams.
Like every ordinary morning, I sat in front of my laptop checking out the new scraps in my orkut profile. Suddenly I saw a new scrap from someone whom I have never talked to. I replied to her and got to know that she was horrified by seeing some of my medical dead body dissection videos posted by me. After that we introduced ourselves to each other. We had a long chat for about two hours-- first one hour in english and then the next hour in bengali. We were quite excited to know about each other. We shared all our likes and dislikes, our hobbies, carrer choices, future aims etc etc ...
After that we both went offline ,promising that we would again chat in the noon.I was quite obsessed with the chat after I got offline from orkut.I kept on thinking about her, the chat. I donot know somehow I felt that she was quite unique. I noticed in her something special that attracted me. She was not at all flirty kind like most other girls in orkut. She had a great friendly approach and within 2 hours I started feeling that I got a very good friend.
Any way, after I had my lunch I sat in front of my laptop to continue the chat from where I had left. Within minutes she arrived. It was a real nice meeting. We chatted for hours, this time over family issues, parents, their likings and how restricted life we enjoy. It never seemed that we didnot know anything about each other even a day ago. We seemed to be very close friends meeting after a long time. I have a pet dog whom I love a lot.She started nagging me by telling that dog to be mine girlfriend. She even started calling me by funny nicknames.I also started doing the same. The fight between us was quite lovable and enjoyable.We both were enjoying it until she realised that she had an exam the next day.She promised that she will again come at night to chat with me.
At night, I after completing my studies kept waiting for her until she completed her studies and arrived to chat with me. Then I came to know that the next day was her birthday.I wished her in advance by a cute birthday scrap. During this time we started sharing some secrets of our school life.It continued until it was quite late at night.
Suddenly I asked for her cell number. It was quite strange of me, but I donot know why I did this. It was the first time I was asking for cell number from some girl whom I know for a day only. Yet I didnot feel shy and I realised how close friends we grew into in a single day. We both shared our phone number and wished good night.
At the stroke of 12, I wished her happy birthday. After that we talked a while over sms and then went to sleep. I couldnot sleep easily. I was obsessed with the new meeting. It was a strange feeling yet a 'feel good factor' was there in me. Finally thinking of the whole day how it went I dozzed off only to get a "good morning" sms in my cell in the next morning.
