It starts with a rainy day, where I'm on my bed trying to work but can't focus, my thoughts are destroying my inner peace, when I first time saw you through my window in your cycle, slowly walking towards the blue street, which reminds me it is the street for book lovers. I got up from my bed and tried to follow you in the street, but could not chase you. Then every day I saw through my window at the same time. Your eyes are black with pearl shine. I got stuck in them. Today I'm going to my college where I have to submit my project, again I'm looking from the same window to see you. I reached, where I noticed there were many new faces that I was seeing first time, I did not recognize any of them.
Then I suddenly saw you and got stuck again. You are playing basketball with your friends. You are telling me something, but I didn't listen to anything, just seeing you and something hit me hard and when I opened my eyes I was lying on n hospital bed. Surrounded by the basketball team members. Then Dr came and checked me again and told me that I needed some rest for a few days. I went home but could not recall anything. I was lying on my bed and I heard my mom talking to someone and taking someone in my room. My door started knocking, and I saw her. She mentioned her name, Annie and I said James. She said I know you are James William. The great researcher of our college. She came to see me after I got injured due to the ball. First, she didn't talk as both of us were in an awkward situation where we were thinking about how we started our conversation. We start talking about our college as the common thing between us. She is a commerce student and I am a science student. This doesn't work due to our streams. We stop talking. I started talking about Blue Street and she smiled, then we both didn't realise how many things we had discussed and our thoughts were similar too. Now she is about to leave. We will meet soon in college. Days passed, and I was busy with my work. Months passed there was no contact with Annie. I didn't see her in college, I got worried and told her teammates where she was. They all told me that she didn't come for a week. I got her address and went to her home where I saw she was living with her granny. The house was fully decorated with succulents, and the smell of lavender and rosemary came from the walls of the garden. I entered the house where I found an old collection of mud pots. It is so esthetic. James, Why did you come here? In a furious way.
Annie, I haven't seen you in college for many days so I am worried about you. Is everything alright?
Yes, I'm alright...
My granny is hospitalized, so I have to take care of her, that's why...
You didn't need to worry about me.
Annie, this is for you
I bought some books for you...
I hope you will like them.
Thank you so much, James.
Wait I will make coffee for you...
No Annie, I need to go next time I will drink I will go I have some work to do.
If you need my help, you can inform me anytime.
Thank you so much, James.
The next day she came to college and we met and talked more about books and our interests.
She wants to writer and a professor in her subject.
She told me how her childhood was, how she was beaten by her father, and how her granny saved her always.
I feel the pain, and I can understand, how this phase was.
I told her I was going abroad for further research
I will come after many years.
She congratulated me and said to have a safe and successful journey ahead.
Now I'm a senior research scientist, I come back to my hometown after 10 years. Everything has changed even Blue Street.
I was walking in the shop when my eyes met Annie again. I just looked at her she was a caring baby in her hand, and now she didn't recognize me.
Are you James William?
Yes...
I m Annie
Do u remember me?
Yes, Annie, I remember you...
How are you?
What are you doing?
I'm a professor......
That's great you achieved your dream.
And my pen name is Jenny
Omg...
I'm talking to a famous writer Jenny Song...
I want to meet you.
Who's the baby you are holding?
.
My child Nickel Song
That's nice you are married......
When you get married, Annie.
You know the day I came to college and you told me you were going.
I came for you to tell you please save me.
But I see the charm in your eyes where you didn't listen to me anything, you are telling, me continuously.
After that day I was married to an unknown person.
My granny passed away.
All these years are hell.
A few years ago I started again, went to college again...
Managed everything.
Finally last year I achieved everything.
What about you?
James...
I know you are a research scientist...
Okay, I will go...
Come someday for dinner to meet my family...
Of course Annie.....
She left....
I remain as such..... Without telling I came for her, I want to take her with me as Mrs James William...
Sometimes listening to things is more important than telling......





Broken heart with broken desires...
