That Unknown Girl...

It’s a very interesting story that I have never ever shared with anyone before, probably I just forgot about it. I was in 9th standard and the bug of trekking was boggling my mind after first successful national track at Dobi near Kullu (H.P.). But, didn't got any luck to go for another long track that time. So, finally I have decided to go for some local track and explore places near Indore. My first track was simple one, but I meet this wonderful girl on my second track to 'Hathari Khoh'. I didn't remember her name now (and really sad about that), but she was a friend of one of my friend who went to Kullu track with me.

Being the youngest gang in the whole team, we all were having a great time there and finally we reached at the lowest point of our track where we had a water fall and also decided to have lunch. We really had a great time under the fall and after lunch we came out total wet to top. There we spent about an hour to walk down to the road to catch a bus to comeback to Indore, that was the time when I started chatting with this brown eyed girl. She had the true charismatic persona, we had a usual normal talk and decided to share phone numbers but as we were walking with group so we thought to exchange numbers in bus. The bus journey was simply wonderful, we were sitting next to each other on the last seat and cold air was touching both of us, and we were feeling very cold that time... but I could feel the warmth of her body close to me and so as she. I asked for her telephone number and she gave it to me orally, and just to show my so called smartness I told her that I can remember all numbers (and really I used to in those non mobile days), so she said that 'then you give me a call to give your phone number', and I nodded on that.

After some time, she suddenly started staring at me and I realized after some time and our eyes matched and got fixed at each other, I don't know what happened to me that time but I was feeling something unusual. Especially for a shy guy like me, it was a very different experience and I was not mature enough to name that experience. I am very sure that she was feeling the same, we were just staring at each other without a word for a long time and then distracted by others. Finally, her bus stop came and she left the bus... and I realized that totally forgot her number. I rushed to the window and shouted to give her number, but she gave me a smile shouted back that 'you have it'... but time was too small to explain that I really forgot her number.

That was probably, my very first unusual experience and lost in memory with time. Today, it suddenly popped up in my mind and I still need to figure out... WHY???
