chapter 3

I was now in college, it was my third lecture of sociology. Our teacher Mr. Mukesh Rathi was dwelling on the topic human behaviour."It depend on different people how they react, how they....." I love attending the lecture. It make me feel that I am not alone in this world that seems to be different."Sir, how can anyone find out if a person is depressed or is in depression? May be he or she is just in bad mood." Kaira, one of the students and somewhat curious with sacarstic nature asked."Well, kaira, may be it's just seen as an symptom of depression, if it continues for a long time, it becomes an part of his / her life. Where they just come to a stage where life losses it's meaning" he was explaining all this with his hand in air pointing and gesturing somethings. He was ozing confidence."Some time it's hard to catch if a person is depressed" his tone now little low, everyone paused waiting for him to continue what he want to say next, with pen in hand.Mr. Rathi came a foot ahead from where he was standing, adjusted his spectular and said "not all who are depressed show their depression, cause some are unaware that they are even depressed! They may have happy smile on the face, but inside they are alone, sacred ...scared to live alone ..an ..." His next lines all blur to my ears. I was now in my own personal bubble.Am I sacred too? I asked myself and I got an answer NOthen I am not dealing with this crap called depression right??All if sudden I was jolted by the Bell. Student were already making bee line to Cafè I stood up with my bag and joined the way to Cafè.While walking I could hear, the happy chirpy voice of students.Laughing, yelling each other's name to get attention, some just wispering low for the other person to hear.As i was passing the corridor, i saw a boy and a girl walking hand in hand smiling happily and then girl leaned into his shoulder to hide her blush.A little smile made its way to my lips and then suddenly -BAM!!I was on my butt on the ground. I have literally seen it coming, cause the way I was walking without seeing ahead.  My bad!"Well, aren't you Soo sweet girl? Is it new way of telling hello??" I heard a voice that was deep and a mixture of I don't know what! It was nither angry nor clam, but like he is irritated about something.I faced up to see a boy, may be six feet, with jet black hair that were messed up and brown eyes that were now eyeing me suspiciously, kinda waiting for my answer.His lips were pulled in little frown and eyebrows creased.He is wearing a blue button down shirt whose sleeves are rolled up just below his elbow, and a almost black jeans. But what attracted my attention was watch in his wrist. Brown thick belt with large dial, his hands shuffled in his pocket.When I again made my eyes to his face, his Expression changed. Now he was amazed and smriking and he raised his brow and asked " Are you checking me out girl??" 'Now, can a day get better? Clingé line' I said in my mind. And after what I thought forever I got up, dusted my hands and cloths, took my bag and without looking back made my way to Cafè.It must be my eighth step, sue me! I like to count step!, I heard something like "hey, white top-blue jeans" I know I must have not stopped but I stopped because of two reasons.First I knew this voice, and second I was was too wearing something like the menstion discription. I turned to voice and saw hin coming where i was standing just a few step inside the Cafè."Don't you know some lines like 'sorry' or 'if you are all right?' he asked with an eyebrow raised high expecting me to understand while in answer I just raised my one eyebrow!"O, come on, you are not playing this on me." He said amuzed by my reaction. I didn't say anything (oh, the irony)  and again turned to get some food After I got 2 somosa and one vada-pau with Raju's- our canteen chef- special chatni, i walked to my kinda reserved seats. It was not in corner or in middle it was just in between. Our canteen have tables of different shape and size depending upon the people to sit. Two seater to ten seater. One I am sitting is an rectangular yellow color, two seater table. And just for information the one opposite to mine chair is empty, always!"Hey! Are you Mute or something?" Voice came to me from front chair where I saw the boy with blue shirt sitting staring me. What caught me off guard was his question.ARE YOU MUTE?I just stared at him for a while and then when I knew he will not going to go till he gets the answer, I knew what to do.I nodded my head positively.'I AM MUTE!' words ecoed in my mind but were unable to come out from my mouth!_________________________So how was the chapter?Thanks for reading!Please vote and commet your views!!!Will update soon!Till then miss me 😉😉
