He was all blank, walking towards encroachment area where number of paintings were displayed, but one big one right in the middle of the wall was beautiful, it pictured a girl caged behind the rib cage of human body as if the painting is saying that, though she is safe there, but yet there are things which she wants to see beyond that cage, the girl was extremely beautiful, and entire painting was done very skillfully, at the bottom he searched for the signatures .. it was small and simple, in a very italic manner fonts were place above the line ending with a dot and signature read “Swadha”. Kudrat talking to himself said, only a beauty can produce such beautiful piece. The Ringing of bell interrupted his thoughts, all students started to walk around from their classes, he turned back towards lecture theater-1, he could now se her clearly, and notice her captivating walk which he thinks is absolutely gorgeous. She was walking towards him watching down the ground as if she was counting her footsteps ,Kudrat too got lost in her footsteps, suddenly foot steps stopped in a half crossed position, as Kudrat looked up he saw Samar walking towards Miss Swadha, they both together came and stood right beside Kudrat,
Swadha- “Samar you are doing a fabulous job, I hope we could display your piece of art in an upcoming international Exhibition cum auction at convention center.” You must have thought a name for it.
Samar- “am so glad madam, its all because of your guidance and motivation you give us, of course I am in process of giving a name to my painting and madam here is my man Kudrat Manikwala, I told about him the one from the PR firm who could help you in organizing this event.” “Kudrat’s heart just skipped a beat, she is standing so close to him, talking to him”. Kudrat was managing all his senses to listen and concentrate whatever she is saying rather than getting lost in her eyes, face, nose, voice Kudrat finds everything enchanting about her. He could only recall the words she said at the end of conversation before extending her hand for a shake hand gesture. Kudrat gathered his all courage to extend his hand and shake it with hers, somehow his fingers got numb, and his tongue fumbled, he didn’t even holed her hand properly, Swadha found it strange but didn’t mentioned anything. She greeted Kudrat like any other student just like summer only and left, while he was still fumbling completely lost in her touch, he could still feel the chill running through his spine. He never thought any such feeling really exists, till now he has only seen it in movies and read it in Shakespeare.But somehow all those black and white words of Romeo and Juliet were appearing truth and all that love talks were coming alive.
