What does it take to fall for someone — again and again?
Could it be the Law of Attraction, pure luck, or a blessing from God? There is no definite answer. Maybe I’ll have one when I turn 80, after seeing enough of life and enough of people.
I fell for him on a random day of the year 2012 when I read one of his un-romantic texts. This is how he talked to me — through plain, serious texts, nothing cheesy or flirty.
That was the first time. My heart skipped some beats. Mind went blank. Face burned with a blush.
Our story started from a long distance. We never lived in the same city or even in the same state. We didn’t talk for long hours on the phone and neither did we text all day. We were weird. Both of us were preparing for competitive exams. The pressure of studying hard was real. Anyway, we were extremely low-maintenance cuties back then, so our story continued. Nobody knew about us. Just my sister and a few of his close friends. It was a secret.
That year went by just like that,with occasional exchanges of platonic texts. I was always caught in confounding confusion about the status of our relationship.
