The Conversation

I snatch my phone from him but don't cancel the request. By scrolling down her profile I found that she is from our department, one year junior than us and she is also a singer. After the class I was with my friends having snacks and tea, discussing about the assignments, lectures, projects etc. As we are now in the third year, everyone is serious about their study and placement. Even I thought that I will study hard from this semester, actually I thought that after every semester though. The atmosphere was so serious around me and I was pretending to be serious but deep in my mind I was devastated. 

"Is it okay to send a friend request to a unknown person? After all it's just a friend request not anything else" I told myself. Within few minutes a notification is popped up on my phone. 'Meghna Chakraborty accepted your friend request'. I was thinking is it the right time to start a conversation? But what is right, what is wrong , who decides? Is right or wrong, good or bad really exist? There is no right time for anything, I motivate myself and put my all courage together and type "Hi". Few minute elapsed but there was no reply. It was too early to expect a reply. I joined the conversation again. Now the discussion is on organizing teacher's day function in our college. Seriously I don't have any interest on that. I take my bag and set out for home. There was too much traffic and I hardly found a auto. Any other day this traffic disturb me but not that day. The whole city looks different in that afternoon. My wait in this traffic is not bigger than my wait for her reply. Some how I reached my home.

      In that evening when I was with my books and trying to understand the binary search algorithm my phone popped up with another notification.

'Hi', She replied.

I don't waste any time and asked 

' you are from first year computer science right?'

'Second year presently' , she replied.

'Are you singer?', I asked again.

'Yes I do sing', she replied.

'You in which dept?', she asked

First time she asked me something and I replied with gravity.

'I think there is no proper introduction between seniors and juniors, that's why you don't know me. I am from third year CSE'

In this way our conversation goes on. I made my mind that I should build the conversation slowly and show some interest on her, on the other hand I have to keep my attitude like a senior. Just like a test match the pitch was good in Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 but in 4th day it caught the crack.
