Arush grabbed my hand and shouted "Quick make a wish". We were sitting on the terrace when he had seen a shooting star. I laughed and told him that wishes don't come true annoying him in the process. He asked me to make a wish which I think won't come true. To make him happy, I closed my eyes and made a wish.
"What did you wish for, Neelam? To meet a ghost or an alien?" Arush teased me. That's the problem with close friends. They seem to know you so well. I told him when my wish comes true, I will let him know.

Next day I went to the University Library to study. Exams were due in two weeks. Soon I was deep in the studies when a loud bang on the table startled me. I looked up to see a pile of books on the table and then looked up at the person. He smiled and said sorry. He sat down and was soon lost in his books.

But I couldn't study as my concentration was broken. Instead I studied his profile. Thick black hair parted on the side. Fair and almost translucent skin. Thin lips. And his nose..Sharp as a sword I thought and giggled. He looked up at me questioning. I got embarrassed and stood up with my books and walked away.

That night while I was studying, I thought about him again. I should have atleast glanced at the titles of the books he was studying, I thought. Funny how come I never saw him in the last three years. I wondered if I would see him again..To be continued
