Love at first sight or jealousy at first sight

I was 16 young and cold hearted on the outside but deep down like all other teenage girls even I wished to be loved. It was a Sunday evening ,exams were over so I was desperately waiting to visit my favorite place: a place where I often went in search of peace.

The love comics on the wall, the small wooden coffee tables, the cute little bean bags ,the soft music, the light colored walls, the humble staff and the sweet aroma of coffee were the only things i could think about. When I reached I was astonished to see a crowd waiting outside the café.. My anxiousness made me jump from the bike and interrogate the manager about the situation, luckily it was nothing but a powercut…

I had no choice other than waiting and cursing myself for coming alone. I soon started frisking around. And there i saw a guy arriving on his bike wearing red t-shirt and black tracks, with a gym bag on his shoulders, tall, fair and handsome..I was bewitched by his charm. No sooner did i notice a girl from the crowd calling his name and walking towards him. The smile on his face made it very obvious that it was none other than his girlfriend…

Seeing them together made me feel low, waiting there any longer was next to impossible so I just drove back home. He was a complete stranger, I knew nothing about him, but then too seeing him with a girl made me feel like i had pit in my stomach…All of sudden i had lost my appetite and getting sleep was even harder. And there it was the brain and the heart clash…My brain stopped me as he was with someone but my heart wanted to talk to him, to get to know him..

There were lot of questions going on inside me but the question which kept me awake for several nights was-“Was it Jealousy or Love at first sight?”

Have you ever experienced this? The feeling of falling in love at first sight but seeing his/her girlfriend / boyfriend you felt jealous.

From now, I am planning on adding few quotes at the end of the chapters . So here is today's dose of sadness.

** Was he worth waiting for? "No\, but the lessons were”**.Divya

Sometimes we are not so lucky in love and get hurt instead. But all our own very sad love stories and every experience hold lessons learnt which make life fulfilling and give you the courage to move on with more confidence about yourself, not repeating the past mistakes again.

** I see you in the rear-view\, your head lying on his shoulder. The mirror continues to give me hope: Objects are closer than they appear. **

Anirudh

It is a painful experience to see the one you love be happy with someone else. Unrequited love forms the heart of short sad love stories, and burns you from inside yet you cannot express the pain and suffer silently.
