The NAME Module (Episode 1)
I
was wrong that day and the biggest mistake I made was thinking it to be a
regular day. It was a regular day in the sense that there were no special
markings on the wall calendar but it was seriously something more than normal
for me to flirt with someone after a long gap of many months. My recent
break-up, which was a couple of months back had left me with no intention to be
involved again in this agonizing game of heart make and heart breaks but seeing
this girl for the first time had a different feeling. It was a reflex that I
started talking with her and it was a reflex that simple texts lead to serious
conversations and there were ingredients of flirt in every bite of the dish.
Had the leisure lasted a bit longer, I would've taken things way down but
life had different plans. That was what happened that day and it ended up for
good.
You can't write this stuff. It's more beautiful when it's unexpected and that was something that happened the following day. I was a bit late to class and the nearest seat empty was the one beside the girl I flirted with. It's not that there is something else I would choose over the beauty of that human master piece but I had priorities. I had a few knock out goals. More over I had dreams.
I got seated beside her and offered a hello. That was a good thing to do. Well, that's the least I could do and there was a hello from the other side. No, I’m not singing Adele's hit. There was exchange of smiles and I tried my best to avoid any sort of physical intimacy for the next hour. I would retreat every time we had some unusual contact for longer periods. She would give me a smile that was clearly saying " I can sense what's wrong here" but she wouldn't act. It wasn’t her fault anyway. It was me who was acting unusual that fine morning and I didn’t wanted to get distracted by anything but my love for books.

It was the same routine for the classes
that preceded the last class of the day. The last class happened to be a bit
different. It was different in the sense that the teacher who was expected to
visit the class that hour had an important call and had to leave. So we were
paid a visit by one of the most boring teachers in the entire institute. I had
no intentions in skipping the class and neither had I had the pleasure to
listen to what was being taught. He wasn’t a bad teacher by heart but he would
just go so deep into a particular word that I could cover in an hour of his
lecture in 5 minutes just by looking at the notes. I went too down on
explaining the teacher but that’s a topic we must keep for another day as that
wasn’t what I was supposed to be sharing . The teacher, as usual, came in
started teaching and I started copying whatever there was on the white board
with clumsiness portrayed on my face. I could still feel the sudden and
unexpected physical intimacy from this human flesh sitting right beside
me.
Maybe this is what they mean by ‘Being at
the right place at the right time’ because I needed an escape from listening to
the same thing being repeated for a fourth time because I understood it in the
1st explanation. So this time
I didn’t moved or reacted to the intimacy but still I was afraid about the fact
that I could have easily mistaken an accident for intention. It was my turn to act. I pretended getting
comfortable in my seat just to get a step closer to her. I could feel my
peripheral vision developing and getting better with every second. I could feel
all of her activities. I could see her hand raising on her forehead just to
swipe that drop of sweat on her fore head which was unusual on a cold morning. I
could see her stop writing and I could see her smiling and taking a small
glances towards me. I could see all of that from a corner of my eye and I
hadn’t moved my head an inch to notice all of that. I felt more closer to her
and not a moment later I could feel her inside myself. I could feel her body. I
could tell you which parts of her body had pain from earlier day’s fatigue. I
could hear her heart beating, I could feel the air coming out of her body and
entering mine. We became that close that any person would’ve noticed that there
was something wrong. Our concise would have hit us but two tall guys seated
right in front of us made us disappear from the eye sight of the teacher and
that gave us enough courage to act as free souls nearly about to embrace the
summit of materialistic desires. I went a step up to feel my hand crawling
under the desks searching for her hand. I felt her hand which was already
waiting to be grabbed and squeezed and made feel warm and cozy. I hold her
hands for a few moments and then I got my hand loose and took it to her hip and
crawling up and in a circular motion I took it to her stomach and her belly. I played
with her stomach. I could see her enjoying each and every moment of it and I
was having my time too. Then slowly I got my hands from under her T-Shirt to her
bare stomach and her belly. I circled my way around her belly. I wanted her to
enjoy every second of it. Then I started talking
“Hey!” This is the word I choose to begin
the conversation with after making it to the second base. Yeah! What an idiot.
She just smiled.
I retreated because I wanted to talk now.
She again smiled still looking at me.
“ What’s your name?” I tried smiling but I
guess some of my muscles had the wrong information that they didn’t agree to
stretch in the right way.
And again two times in a same day I
understood the meaning of the phrase “ Being at the right place at the right
time.” Not a second later the teacher
approached our bench, noticed the absence of tattoo similar to the one made by
teacher in board, in our copies, scolded us for a minute and expelled us out of
the class. I didn’t hear what he was saying when he was scolding us but that
has to be something bad, right?
And we left the class which was about to
end in 15 minutes with bags in our hands and one more exciting story to share
in our arsenal.
“Sorry!” I started .
“Never mind! This has to be better than sitting
in that boring lecture.”
“Yeah! You’re right. So we had left our
conversation somewhere, remember?”
“No! Tell me, I don’t happen to recall!”
“I had asked your name.”
“Some great guy once said “What’s in a
name?” She started teasing me.
“Well yeah! But Mark Zuckerberg also made
a system that Your facebook Id could only be searched from your name.”
It was her-1. Me -1
“ Suhana .” she timidly replied.
“Suhana. There has to be something after
that, right?” I questioned.
She smiled, I smiled, this time it was in
the correct way.
“ Suhana Bajracharya. and Yours?”
“Saurav. Saurav Wagle.”
She smiled and I joined her. We moved down
a flight of stairs without any reaction and on the fifth I asked her
“So what are your plans?”
“Huh!”
She seemed to have been thinking about something when I summoned her.
“I asked what are your plans now?”
“Oh! Nothing much. I would just return
back home.” She was saying the words but her eyes were saying “ I don’t want to
go home. Please make me stay.”
“ If it’s not so important we can stay
here for some time.”Again this time I failed giving a smile.
“Stay here. Where are you implying?”
“I don’t know. It could be a cafe nearby
or maybe there is this amusement park beside here or we could just find an empty
classroom. What do you say?”
“ Empty classrooms sounds fun. Let’s do
it. But before that I need to visit the lady’s room first. Excuse me!”
“Take all the room you want. I’ll also be
back in a second. Wait for me right here.”
I headed the men’s room and she headed the
ladies room on the fourth floor. I didn’t had to pee. I just wanted to take a
few pieces of happy dent just in case I
was about to get lucky. Nearly after two minutes I headed back only to find her
near to the emergency exit door in the fourth floor.
She grabbed me by wrist and pulled me back
into one of the nearest classrooms which was totally empty. I managed to pull
the door and lock it close. She started moving towards the back end of class
where as I got seated on the first desk facing backwards.
“Suhana” I said as I smiled, correctly
this time.
“Yeah! What happened?” She turned back all
of a sudden.
“Nothing! I’m just getting used to the
name.” I gave out a smile, again and it was executed two times perfectly in a
row.
“Suhana Bajracharya!” I shouted a bit
louder this time.
She smiled and started moving towards me.
She came near and grabbed my shirt’s collar which was escaping from the upper
portion of my jacket and in a different male accent gave a dialogue from a
famous hindi movie “ Hey! Bekar me naam kyu kharab kar raha hai be!”
I was continuously looking in her eyes
through all of this and despite my efforts laughter escaped. I laughed and made
my way down to the seat along with her, with her hands still on my collar. We were having a great time until she got a
call from her mother who asked her to do some basic chores. We had lost track
of time but the call made us realize that classes had been over for 10 minutes
now and she needed to get back home soon. I walked her down the stairs where I
found out that she owned a personal ride. She offered me a ride to my place and
I would have accepted the offer hadn’t I stayed in a hostel which was a five
minutes or less walking distance from there.
I departed from her with a good bye and started moving as I could see
her getting her bike ready. She was faster than I thought and she caught up
with me midway to the outside and again offered a ride. I politely declined the
offer not a second later to find her bid goodbye and few seconds more and she
was out of my sights. Then on my way back I remembered the happy dent which was
a total waste, I remembered the moments we shared in the lecture and I remember
her. I remember the feeling of her bare skin. I could still feel my hand in her
belly and I could still feel the pleasure of her intimacy. I couldn’t wait to
get back to class the other day but as we know that it’s not always that we’ll
be at the right place at the right time.
