It was July 2005 when I first saw her. It was raining outside. I saw the shy but ambitious young lady quietly taking her seat minutes before the maths teacher entered the class. Man, she was just too beautiful. Those sparkling black eyes of hers, behind the half rimless glasses, spoke of her dreams, her desire to fly. And yes, they were clearly visible. Her simplicity coupled with smartness was enough to blow my mind.
Mesmerised, I could not concentrate during my class; sometimes, I looked at her surreptitiously. I realised that I did not want the class to end. I did not even dare to talk to her; my friends were there. My confidence flagged. We never talked until that moment arrived. She was sitting right next to me and thank God, she forgot to bring a pen. She just turned to me and I gave her my pen. She looked right in my eyes and smiled. I was ecstatic, felt like I was flying.
But there was something that was blocking her way. I wondered what it was. Her face told always told me she had something to tell but... but she just could not find the right person to tell what was bugging her. I wish my confidence never flagged. I wish I was there.
That's all I can remember...
