My First V-Day

            So, as i had a very charming personality since my childhood, I was always single at Valentines day. But its nothing to be ashamed of is it? How many of you are like me, tell me. By the 1st year in bachelors, yes bachelor, I finally had someone to celebrate Feb 14 with.
             It was a cold cold day as v-day always fell at the time when winter said good bye. Since it was our 1st VD together, we both were excited. We'd planned everything. Where to meet when to meet. She hd me bring a jacket for her. So I did.
              It was Exam that day, Physics was the subject that i had to study earlier that day. But all I could see on those numericals and derivations and those formulas were the time we'd have tomorrow, me and her walking side by side holding hands. All I could do was think the future and smile.
              Exam day. I had no preparation for the exam. All I could do was write some important formulas on the desk before the exam started. And since i dont have that super genius brain of a movie hero, Exam didnt go well. I had no answers to the questions, 1 hour was sufficient for me to write my name, roll no. , etc and submit my answer sheet. So I had an hour to spare from my scheduled time.
              So, What do you do if you have an hour to spare on valentines day? All I could think was play football. Who in the hell can say no to football? The day was dedicated to love, and this beautiful game and me were in love from my childhood. Pull out my jacket, put my glasses and phone into my bag n started kicking the ball. After 45 mins or so, we we knocked out. I grabbed my cell to give her a call, only to see about 8-9 missed calls from her. Ooops!! I got a chill through my spine. She'd been trying my number for 30 mins? I didnt felt this bad even when we conceded that goal that knocked us out. So I washed my face and as quickly as i could, i took my sweaty body to her college.
               There she was waiting for me. I knew she didn't like to wait. But she was controlling her frustration some how. She gave me my phone back. we'd swapped our mobile phones coz her friend had to give her a gift, and the Bluetooth on her cell didnt worked so she took mine. So I asked what did he sent? She showed me a pic. It was some love shaped drawings on a black background with his and her name written on the largest heart. The first thought that came to my mind was that's it??Then I realised something that i should have realise atleast one hour ago, that would have made this story a totally different one. She had a smile on her face, after seeing that pic. She said My first Valentine gift.
    I was like what the hell? Beeeeep Beeeeeeeeeeeeep beeep beeeeeep beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep to my self. That smile should have been due to you, you moron.
                   You had an whole hour to spare, to go to the gift shop right by your college gate, grab a nice piece of gift, wrap it in a gift paper full of love signs or balloons, and write a shor message "Happy V-day" with her name on it and a love sign and a semicolon and an astrix. But no, all you could think about when you've got an hour was football.  IDIOT.
              Now you are standing infront of your 1st valentine, with empty hands. Yes she did say not to bring roses as we werent lovers but best buddies, but at least you could have brought a chocolate. Girls love chocolates man.
             Anyways we did enjoyed each others company that day. She got me a pair of guitar picks. My first ones.  I dropped her home and she did wore the jacket i brought for her. Finally 17 years without a valentine, that run was ended that day. I've never been alone in V day since. Today I'm waiting for her, for out 10th vday together. I still dont have a rose in my hand. I've got a bournville, our brand of chocolate. She always said she loved this chocolate because the one i gave to her never tasted bitter. The only thing different about today and the past 8 years, 1st had a different story one u've already heard , is that I've got a daimond ring in my pocket. Hope she says yes.
