Iceman’s Realm

I don’t really know what made me to propose to that girl via an email but some day or the other I had to know the truth - the truth whether or not I was in her heart. True, I didn’t have the guts to face her and say that  was in love with her and yes I admit that I’m a coward when it comes to things such as these. This girl with whom I fell in love with on the very first day of my high school swept me off my feet the very moment I saw her. Call it love at first sight. Yes, kind of. Her countenance, body language, gestures - I fell in love with everything. I was rather crazy about her and I didn’t think of anything else. That said, I was a trifle curious to know whether she liked me or not. Contemplating about what might happen if I send her an email, I finally decided to go ahead with the idea - I sent her the proposal mail finally. I thought it might take at least a week’s time or at the most, a couple of weeks’ time to get a reply but unpredictably to my greatest surprise, I got a reply from her the very next day.  Her reply wasn’t in the affirmative. It was disheartening for me and embarrassing at the same time because I had a good number of friends around me when I read the email. It wasn’t a mere rejection, she offended me  quite badly through the email. Seriously, I didn’t expect this at all. Unable to bear all these, I cried day in and day out. That was the last email I received from her but nothing has detered me from wishing her on her birthdays. Unrequited love maybe, but I still love her. Yes, very much.
