#InLoveOnceAndForever CHAPTER -1 (Part-2) My mum after arranging the bed went to fetch my morning coffee. For these seventeen years, I have been drinking the morning coffee before brushing my teeth. This might be the reason why my mom’s coffee tastes good only in the morning. I told my mother that the coffee tastes too good (first lie even in the very morning, who knows how the result might turn out) My father came to the kitchen, saw me sipping coffee with a meditative look on my face, and asked, “Will you get above 80%? I know you will, but I just asked you." I was a little irritated with this because it might be the 100th time he is asking me the same question since the day I finished my exams. “Who knows? I wrote the exam well, but I don’t know how many marks they are going to give me. Wait for another three hours but till then don’t pester me pa…” I said with a touch of asperity. I know why my father is asking me like this. It is because he has a doubt that I may disappoint him as I did with my class tenth results. Huffily I got up and conducted my daily morning business. Before I was ready, my father got ready, and he was waiting for me eagerly. Then my mother combed my hair neatly and caked my face in talcum. Even so, it is really the kiss given by her in my cheeks, which made my face pretty, as it blushed with bliss when it got its kiss. Though I am seventeen years old, I am still a kid to them. I am a pampered kid even now as I have always been. I am their one and only son. They brought me up with much affection. They never raised their hands to hit me, not even once in their life, though we have quarrelled many times. As my house is small, the distances between our hearts are smaller. Other than the three of us, there lived another member who never paid his rent for staying with us. He is none other than ‘happiness.’ My father and I reached the internet centre at 10’o clock. They are supposed to publish the results exactly at 10’o clock but in our country, it means that the results will be available at 10:30. Therefore, we had to wait for another half an hour. I saw my father sitting, full of eagerness and tension as if he had written the exam. I know there are thousands of thoughts running in his mind. However, he is reticent because he knew very well that in this tension, I would get angry if he asserts something to me. After half an hour, my class 12th result flashed on the screen. I turned towards the left to see my father where he is sitting before. He was not there so I turned right and he is standing there beside me. He shouted my marks loudly in my ears, hugged me and once again He exclaimed, “95%, I never thought of this! I never expected that my son is going to get these many marks." He was very much happy in that moment. With his happiness it seemed that, he will even reject a life in heaven to live these seconds on earth. Later, he immediately took one rupee coin from his pocket and went to call my mother in order to share his happiness with her, like he did every time. This is the kind of love my father really possesses towards my mother. ” I am going to school to check out my friends marks,” I said to my father, and I headed towards my school. I reached my school gate at 11’o clock. On reaching my school, my heart started to beat as twice faster than before. I went towards the board that the school keeps the side of our school ground, in which they have displayed the results. As I started moving, I saw her at a short distance. She was busy seeing the results. As soon as my eyes saw her, my legs started to walk at a great speed towards her. My whole body perspired. I am fully tensed than even during the time of my result. I went near her. She saw me and smiled. I too returned a smile. I am very much happy that my instinct has at last worked out. Since I have another instinct whispering in my heart, it is, “I am the one who is going to marry her." I then asked her how much percentage she has earned. As I wished, it is a little lesser than mine. She asked my percentage, and I said that to her. “Which college have you planned to join?” I asked her suddenly. Little surprised by my question, “Not yet decided, I will decide it in the counselling” she replied. Then I saw her, seeing all her friends’ marks. I too put my fingers on the board to check out the marks my friends have scored. I first went to Syed and then went for the others. After that, I wished to.....
