When was the last time you felt that?
Mine started when I was in the 2nd standard. Too
early you might say, but that’s how you feel when you fall in love. It was
definitely love at first sight. His name let’s say was Sharad, a newly joined
dentist at the clinic that I was a regular to. He was tall, fair, curly haired,
oval face and so sweet. No boy had ever been so sweet to me and definitely had
paid so much attention.
It was like an “event”, going to the dentist. It meant that I
will be meeting him today and boy was I already blushing. He was a sweetheart.
Always so happy to see me amidst the so many patients sitting in the clinic. He
knew exactly the right things to say to me (like open your mouth, do aaaa and eeee:
D don’t get pervy here. He’s a dentist remember?) But whatever, let’s not spoil
the mood now shall we ;)
He made sure I did everything he wanted me to. And I would
smile and giggle and show a few pranks. He laughed and carried me around for a
while. (Don’t really remember this part, but what the hell! It’s all about love,
making you go blind and not remembering too many things right? :P)
Anyways, like me, I’m sure you too have had someone in your
life. Very special and dear. Good feelings, some sort of feelings, weird feelings
etc. but something that made you realise that there’s some hormone that makes
you feel that way in your body. It makes you dreamy, feel awesome and dance on
the roof, in the rain.
I fell in love with a dentist. I don’t think I knew the
meaning of the word Love, then, but sure was a great feeling. Made me feel
special and it felt good. For once someone liked me just the way I was. Nothing
to change and nothing to be hidden. I mean, a dental clinic, he would see my
cavities, the worst thing really, I should hide myself under the bed and never
come out. But nope, I didn’t even feel that way. So blind I was. Goodness, what
a love it was!
One fine day, I had gone to the clinic with my mum. She had
an appointment with another doctor. There I was, sitting in a small chair, next
to the one mum was getting treated on. A curtain that hid the view from other
patients. I heard his voice on the other side of the curtain and hearing his
voice, made my senses so happy. It was like, there was a symphony in my head. I
just wanted to jump out from behind the curtains and tell him, ‘hey, I’m here’ J
He was talking pretty loud to another patient. The patient
giggled. The patient was some girl, of the same age he was or at least as tall
as he was. I was in 2nd standard. How tall could I be? L
The girl was on fire, you see, he was cracking a lot of
jokes and using most of the dialogues that he had used on me. Damn you DOCTOR! The
girl could not stop laughing. What a stupid girl, making noise in the clinic,
when other patients are in so much pain ;)
‘I thought we had something special. I thought I was your
special girl’, such thoughts ran in my head. My heart crushed alright. It crushed
real bad. Bad enough that the pain caused me to shed a tear. Silently of course.
And that was my first heart break as well. I didn’t jump out from the curtain.
He did see me later with my mum and gave me a smile, but it was too hurting to
return it back. Way too embarrassed, I just hid behind mum’s saree and walked
out with her. Never thought of him I guess. Or don’t they say, that after a
trauma, the patient tends to forget a few details. I guess that’s what happened
with me. It’s all blurry and I’m glad about that. The End.
I did realise that he is a doctor and he’s meant to be nice
to all of his patients. There was nothing special about me or in me, except of
course, cavities. It got better from then on. I had sort of grown that day. I
definitely realised that everyone was playing their part and definitely stopped
making a fool of myself. I wish I could say, that I stopped finding love, but
then that would be so wrong ;)
I did see him after almost ten years, still working in the
clinic. Turns out he had returned after a vacation. He had a moustache. All I could
think of was, wow! Did I really fall for that guy: P I wanted to talk to him,
but he seemed busy and I had an appointment with a different doctor. Was
wondering how this new doctor would be, I had to get a root canal, and it’s
painful. But god had answered my prayers, he had sent the most handsome doctor,
ever, to do it. BLUSH!!!
PS: the new term coined for this is “crush” but I’d rather
maintain the saying, “it’s the thought that counts” :D
Well, that’s my story of “love at first sight”. Sure would
like to hear one from you.
