Tears rolled down her eyes. She wanted to move out of that closed room. She wasn't being able to take this any more. Perhaps I had crossed the line. She stood there and sobbed for a couple of minutes, before she chose to leave.
She was contestant No.23. I didn't even know her name. I was supposed to take a stress interview of the freshers, as a part of a personality contest. I was doing a good job until this girl cried. I could hardly interview the next two contestants. As No.26 walked in, I moved out.
I wanted to meet that girl. My friend Aditi helped me find her. She was seated with another girl at the staircase. I found this a bit tough to handle. Aditi helped me.
"Sorry Mam", the other girl said. "She is a bit...."
I moved a couple of steps closer to the ladies. "I am Sorry...I really didn't want to hurt you the way I did..."
"Its okay sir...."
"Don't call me 'sir'....I am Niel..."
"Ya...Niel...I shouldn't have taken part in this...these kind of contests are not for me...."
"Hey....you are making me feel guilty now...."
"No...everyone had warned me. They said it's impossible to impress you....that it's impossible to see the lighter side of you during the contest...."
"Okay...", I said as Aditi passed a naughty smile, just the way she always does when a girl says something nice about me.
"...and I took the challenge...perhaps I shouldn't have..."
"No...girl...I mean...what's your name...?"
"Ayesha..."
"Ok...Ayesha....never be afraid to take a challenge....who knows...you might just end up winning..."
"You are right dude......I did the right thing....the challenge was to trap you with tears....and I won....howwzzat...Mr.Niladri Bhowmik...???"
I was taken for a bad bad ride....and now I didn't know where to hide. Aditi's mouth was wide open....
"So....Mr. Supersmart Niel...? Any form of counter-attack playing in your head...or would you like to surrender...?"
I was speechless...I was outsmarted....and I knew I had to live with this for the last six months of MBA.
"You probably don't deserve gentlemen anyway....bloody freak !!!", I said it in a most pissed-off tone and walked out of there...
...and that's how I met this girl, with no idea whatsoever that she would become my first love...
