EPISODE 5
SIYA
Is dating a crime? Can I do it? I'm just 16. Do age really matters? I don't even know what dating includes. It's totally a new aspect for me plus it seems a bit weird. Having all these kind of thoughts on my mind I was sitting on the seat of Activa 3G (a two-wheeler vehicle), waiting for my Dad to come out of the house and drop me at the tuition classes. "Come on, let's go!", he shouted in hurry. I was absent minded and came back to the present after the incidence of his sound waves on my ear drums. I slid back to give my father some space to sit. The vehicle started and I reached the destination. I ran upstairs towards the classroom and searched for Rishika. After sitting besides her, I told her the whole story. 'OMG! I can't believe you'll be dating someone!', she enthused and every head in the room turned towards us. I shushed her and asked for an advice. She started,
'Dating is obviously not a crime, darling! You can do that. But first, make sure that if your partner is loyal enough and he is not going to hurt you.'
'How do I know that?'
'Umm, for now just ask him to guarantee his loyalty. And if you start dating him, go slow, don't trust him quickly.'
'What's the point of dating if one can't trust the partner?'
'You're right, but safety is also an important aspect. If he betrays you, you'll emotionally break down.'
'I'm clueless. I've no idea.'
'Do whatever your heart says, leave rest to the destiny!'
I started thinking on this. I know, somewhere in my heart I've feelings for him. I can't be reckless in this situation. But I need to figure out something, the time span of 2 days is already over.
RYAN
It's 13th of September month, 2017. Two days have been passed already and there is no response from Siya. I unlocked my phone and waited for her message. It's a ritual for us to talk about the day at 10:00 pm, but she's not online yet. She messaged: 'I'm having dinner, we'll talk later.' After 10 minutes, I was having my dinner and she messaged: 'I'm now free.' After the whole vicious cycle of having dinner and all, we started chatting at 11 pm.
_.Ryan._ : Why you had your dinner so late?
Siya143: We went out for some work and were late at home. And you?
_.Ryan._: I was waiting for you.
Siya143: Oh. But, please eat on time.
_.Ryan._: Why are you worrying about me?
Siya143: Why can't I? Aren't we good friends :-)
_.Ryan._: Yeah. I want you to be my friend if you don't agree for dating.
Siya143: Okay. We can do that. But first, what if you cheat on me?
_.Ryan._: If you'll be my partner, I'll never break your trust.
Siya143: Okay...
_.Ryan._: Have you figured it out?
Siya143: Well, I'd....
_.Ryan._: ???
Siya143: I'd like to just be friends with you
_.Ryan._: Oh
Siya143: I'm joking!😆
_.Ryan._: What?
Siya143: I'd like to date you.🙈
_.Ryan._: WHAT! REALLY?
Siya143: YES!
_.Ryan._: OMG!
Siya143: 😊
_.Ryan._: I feel like I'm on the top of a mountain!
Siya143: Glad to know that you're happy too!
_.Ryan._: If we're now in a relationship, can we meet?
Siya143: I've already told you na. I can't, 'cause I don't have a vehicle and my parents won't allow me to go outside alone.
_.Ryan._: Yeah, but isn't there any way?
Siya143: For now, NO. But I'll try.
_.Ryan._: Okay. I know you'll.
Siya143: Let's sleep now. Okay, Bye, good night!💓
_.Ryan._: Good night, Love you!
Siya143: Me too.
_.Ryan._: Me too? Really?
Siya143: I'm a newbie in this kind of stuff, so I'm a bit shy.😅 I'll take sometime to understand it.
_.Ryan._: Okay, I understand.
Siya143: Thanks :-)
_.Ryan._: Okay, good night!
Siya143: Sweet dreams!
WOW! That van girl first became mast magan girl, then Siya, and then she became my girlfriend! I can't believe that my destiny is in my favour. I placed my head on the pillow and slept like I'm sleeping on the clouds. Imagining her face and dreaming about her, I slept like a baby in a cradle; peacefully.
SIYA
It's been 7 days now and I and Ryan are trying to know each other as much as possible. It was the day when I was going disclose our relationship to my friends. It was early morning and I walked out of the classroom after placing my bag on the seat. The assembly was starting in 15 minutes and it was enough time for me to talk. 'I'm in a relationship with someone.', I announced in the friend circle of five members after sometime. 'What!', everybody exclaimed in shock. After telling them the whole story, I heard these kind of suggestions:
'You met him on social media? And you believed him?'
'Social media is unsafe girl! You can't do that!'
'What if it's a fake account?'
'I know Ryan, he is my ex-boyfriend. I don't like him.'
'You were so innocent, dear. Dating is not your thing.'
'Break up! Block him, now!'
Everyone's voice started fading out and echoed. The echoing talks started repeating themselves in my head. The highlighting word was: BREAK UP. I started feeling guilty. The remorse inside me started eating me and I was a taciturn all the day till I came back from school. All this time, just one doubting question was bouncing in my brain: 'Should I break up with Ryan?'
