will come here regularly. What you think? Did you like it?
     
    “Yes, I loved this place. It is so quiet here. It gives a feel of romance.”
     
    We sat in the garden and were looking at the view. It was romantic. I slept on her lap and she was playing with my hair. I was looking into her eyes and she into mine. She started playing with my eyelids. Each time she touched me it felt like she was touching me for the first time. It was so sensual. Just tickling them. It made me smile. She kissed me on my forehead.I was really enjoying each moment with her. I wanted to give her all the happiness that I could. I was satisfied with my life after meeting Riya.While I was giving a thought on this; I never came to know when I fell asleep. She was looking at me, staring at me when I was sleeping in her lap.
     
    “Jaan, when did I doze off? Why didn’t you wake me up?” I got up and sat beside her.
     
    “I was looking at you. You slept for almost 20 minutes. And I lived my life in these 20 minutes looking at you. I can tell you where each small black spot is on your face and on your neck. You look so cute when you sleep. Therefore, I did not wake you up. Love you.”
     
    “Love you too”
     
    For some strange reason she used to like my neck.Whats there to like in it? However, she used to. She was different. Crazy is the right word. She never told me the reason. However, she always used to kiss it. She used to catch it gently and say it was hers. And no one could touch it. Only she had the right to touch it. I used to smile. We loved each other beyond limits.
     
     
    “Riya.I am going to teach you computer programming now”
     
    “Aadi…please….I don’t want to study now. I want to talk to you. Please Aadi.”
     
    “Stop it Riya. Exams are getting close and you don’t know this subject.”
     
    I forced Riya to sit on the grass and open her books. She never loved studying. Nobody does. Even I did not. But we had to. Exams were getting closer. I started teaching her basics of programming.command; directories. She was listening to me carefully. After explaining to her she used to say she did not understand. The way she used to say it was very cute. It always made me kiss her. I didn’t give up until I taught her a few basic things.
     
    We decided to come home by train. We would have reached home late by bus. It was already 8pm.Riya got down from the train at Aerol and I went ahead. It was another beautiful day. Each day was like honey. Sweeter and sweeter. I never thought I would love anyone so much.
     
    “Why are you so late? Were you with Riya?” my mom asked me angrily.
     
    “Mom, I had told you I had class.Didnt I?
     
    “I thought you bunked and went to Mall.”
     
    “Mom you are too much. Give me something to eat now and let me sleep.”
     
     
    Mom had querred that I loved her. After all, she was my mom. She knew her son the best. My eyes and expressions said it all. She did not tell me anything directly as yet. However, somewhere I knew she liked  Riya.

                                                            A submission is the worst period of engineering. Moreover, if your attendance is low it is worst. I knew my attendance was low  in chemistry. I had to check two experiments also. I was worried as to what would the response of madam be when she came to know about my attendance and experiments. The professor did not have a good impression about me.
     
    I reached college. Submissions had started. I went to the chemistry madam and told her about my status in chemistry. She smiled and said…
     
    “No problem child, its ok. Come next year for
