    Sanjay let out a sigh. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat and remained n the position for about half an hour. Suddenly he opened his eyes as if he remembered something. He opened his bag and took out a laptop. He gave it life. Then he activated his internet connection and checked his emails. Then he was about to close it, Al-Zarqa softly held his hand. He raised his face to see her. She was looking at him and Sanjay could understand the meaning of her look.

    “Do you need me to lend this for you?” As usual he asked her with a sign language.

    She nodded her head positive. He moved the laptop to her lap carefully not touching her. When she looked at him to thank, he had started concentrating the outside view. Al-Zarqa could understand that he turned his face just to give her the privacy she needed at that moment. She checked her mail accounts but couldn’t find what she expected. Her face became dull and she closed her account and disconnected the internet connection.

    When she tried to turn off the laptop she noticed the face of a girl saved as the screen saver. It was a black and white image. The eyes of the girl were glowing like two black diamonds. Al-Zarqa’s curiosity arose and she really wanted to ask him about her. But at the same time she didn’t want to poke her nose into his private affairs. So she just logged off the computer and turned towards Sanjay.

    But he seemed to lose himself in some other world. So she did not want to disturb him. She too leaned back on the seat and went for a deep sleep.

    “Vidya…..” Somebody called in a loud voice.

    Sanjay who was walking on the long corridor of the final year block with his friends was attracted towards the direction where the voice came from.

    It was the new academic year and Sanjay was doing his final year in MBBS in the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Chennai. The first year courses have started just a week before and the college was full of colourfull salwars and shirts. The strangeness among the students still prevailed over the campus.

    Sanjay had some important practical class. So he was rushing towards the lab and when he heard the sound. His reflexes made him turn back and he saw a thin girl running towards her friends in the opposite block of Sanjay.

    Sanjay couldn’t see her face clearly as he was very far from her. But her salwar dhuppatta pinned on both the sides of her shoulders were waving in the air as she ran very fast which reminded him of a colourfull blue butterfly flying gracefully in the soft breeze.

    He couldn’t stop smiling over his imagination. He used to rebuke his friends who used to describe girls like that. He concentrated on his studies more than anything because becoming a doctor was his life time ambition. Both his parents were doctors. His father Mr. Loknath was one of the leading nephrologists in the town and his mother Mrs. Nirmala Loknath was working as a paediatric surgeon in one of the top hospitals in the town.

    Being the only son, he always got their full attention and love. They never showed him the stress and strain their work gifted them. Mrs. Nirmala was very strict in providing everything that her little kid needed by herself. She never assigned a nanny or a maid to help her with. All the helps she got from her parents-in-law and of course from her parents and her siblings who were not married at the time of his birth.

    Sanjay used to wonder how his parents found time for him always. They were there for him always and he never tried to find out a better friendship outside. His schooling was good and he topped in the district level on his higher secondary exams and meritoriously entered in his dream institution where he dreamt of studying.

    He was in the library taking notes with a heavy book in front of him. He was sitting there all alone since all his friends left for lunch. Suddenly he heard the faint sound of anklets and a mild aroma of a feminine scent. He lifted his eyes from the book and turned to see a thin girl coming towards him. He looked at her for a while. She wore a dark red kurti and a black pant. Her face had a charm though she was not that fair complexioned. A very small black bindi on her small forehead added extra charm to her. A very thin gold chain in her long neck seemed to highlight the length of her neck and the long thin finger nails were polished with baby pink colour nail enamel.

    She came to his front and sat on the chair which was just opposite to him. She didn’t seem to notice him or she was least bothered about his presence. Her attitude did hurt his ego a bit and he felt a little irritated towards her. She never cared to look on his face. She opened a book and began to read and started taking notes.

    Sanjay though was feeling angry on her ‘don’t care’ attitude, couldn’t take his eyes off from her. He had the feel that he had seen her from somewhere. He was thinking for about ten minutes and at last remembered from where he had seen her.

    “Oh! That butterfly….” The thought brought an instant smile on his face.

    First time when he saw her, he couldn’t see her face since she was in the block opposite to him. After that he never had a chance to meet her or he didn’t get a chance to see her very closely for a long time. The mild smell of both perfume and sweat was entering into his senses without his permission and for no apparent reason he loved that. Her beautiful eyes were like two beautiful shells guarded by thick lashes. He could see only her eye lids as she lowered her head and eyes while reading the book. Her long pointed nose and the non-lipstick-touched lips were beautiful. She was wheatish and magnificent. Her ears were studded with two small white stones and with them hung two white stones of bit larger size attached. She had straight hair and a lock was slightly moving across her face in the wind effect. Her long thin fingers tried to fit them behind her right ears but failed miserably. But they didn’t seem to get tired in the act.

    She was sitting in front of Sanjay like a beautifully and carefully painted portrayal. Though he couldn’t see her fully as she was guarded by the table below, Sanjay could imagine how beautiful and pure she would be.

    “Oh God! What am I doing?.... Why on earth am thinking like this?....” He tried to hold his rioting thoughts. But he couldn’t. In that very second he understood that he had fallen head over heels in love with her.

    “Is this love?” He thought.

    “Am I really in love with her?.... or the hormones doing tricks on me?” He was thinking deeply without even daring to take his eyes off her.

    In the mean while she was having a feel that the person who was sitting opposite to her was staring at her for a long time. She raised her eyes to have a look at the person who was sitting opposite to her.

    “Isn’t it Sanjay?” She thought for a second.

    “Hello, aren’t you Mr. Sanjay?” She asked him curiously without giving a second thought.

    Sanjay in fact was a bit shocked by her approach. At the same time he couldn’t stop himself from nodding his head positively. But she understood the question in his eyes.

    “How do you know me?”

    “You are the talk of the campus sir…. Everybody talks about you… I have seen your photo pasted on the notice board in the top scorers list….” She answered gleefully. Her beautiful white teeth sparkled inside her lips.

    Sanjay realized that he was enjoying each and every second with her.

    “Heavens! I am in love…. I am in love….” His heart beat was very fast and he could hear them.

    “It’s so nice to meet you Ms…..” Sanjay stood up and offered his hand to her.

    “It’s Vidya…. Vidya Laxmi…..” She accepted his hand without hesitation. Her eyes were filled with worship for him. It seemed that she was overwhelmed with the introduction of the ideal person whom she wanted to meet one day. Her eyes were telling that.

    But it was a different story for Sanjay. The moment she held his right hand she became his wife. He asked for the permission of his parents and both were getting their blessings by falling at their feet.

    “Sir….” Her soft call drawn Sanjay to the real world and he realized that he was holding her hand tight. She was trying to release her hand from his as it caused a bit pain.

    “Ohh… I… I am so sorry….” Sanjay said with a slight hesitation.

    “Its OK sir….” She looked at her wrist watch and started to leave.

    Sanjay stood there till she vanished from his eyes through the books which were kept in front of him in shelves and he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number….
