It was a cold Kathmandu evening,
with soft icy breeze brushing up outside his north facing window, with the
canvas of early morning dew on his window glass. He looked at this mobile phone
6:37 am Monday
He was almost late for work, but
was reluctant to get out of his bed, let alone his room. After wasting few minutes check his Facebook,
he got up his bed. His room was more mess than his life was, the laptop cord
lying on the floor along with his phone charges and few pairs of sandals which
he never wore. The first thing he did in the morning was to drink a glass of
water, and only then he’d take tea. The tea was followed by his bathroom time,
or thinking time!
As an inspiring Chemist, he
worked at a Scientific Research Center was a completely reserved guy with
limited number of friends, or no friends so as to say. He rarely went out with
anyone, the only thing he loved was his work, he did have a Scientific mind
from the very beginning. He was very good with Chemical Manipulation, as people
said, he had a creative touch to his brain and use to create various chemicals
to solve different problem. At age 27 he had already won numerous Scientific
awards at local and international level. Science was his life, as much as life
is Science. There was nothing interesting in his life, the same day time
routine followed every day of his life. He spent his day time, usually around
lunch time in one of the local café. One of the unfortunate days, as it will
turn out to be, out of all the weirdest thing happened to him. He was in the café,
coffee shop to be precise, working on his laptop, a beautiful girl came in
front of him,
“Excuse me, do you mind If I sit
here?”
He took a time to reply, as he
was lost in her beauty, she was very beautiful, tall and elegant, dressed well,
with a scarf around her head and goggles shading her eyes, which were striking
as well,
“Sure” he said in a soft tone,
nodding his head.
She sat there quietly, drinking
her coffee and staring at her phone, smiling occasionally, her smile was as
beautiful as the first light of sun shining up against a snow covered
mountains! He couldn’t help but stare at her all the time. She had realized
that as well as he was doing nothing but staring at her, unless she looked at
him, and when she did, he seemed turn is head around of look at his laptop for
a change. It was her who broke the silence…
“Hi, I’m Sneha”
He never talked with anyone, let
alone a beautiful girl, but he did reply
“I’m Aman”
“Do you come here frequently?”
she aksed
“Yes I do, almost every day, my
work place is quite near. I haven’t seen you here before, is this your first
time?”
She nodded, drank a sip of her cup of coffee and said “ Yes, I just
returned back from the States recently, I live nearby, when I was here in
Nepal, this place was not here, just saw it and walked in, I kind of like this
place already”
He said nothing but “Yeah it’s a good
place” and got back to his work.
She broke the silence again and said, “Okay I’ve got to go now, I’ll see
you around, have a nice day!
He just smiled and got back to
his work.
Months passed and she was almost
as regular as he was, they used to talk a lot, they were quite good friend. He was
intrigued by her beauty and she was by his brains. Slowly they started having
feelings for each other, but again it was her who had to break the silence, she
knew that for the guy he was he’d not be able to break the ice and tell her
that he loves her, so one day she broke the silence, and expressed her feelings
to him. He reciprocated! It was his first time in love and he developed passion
in everything he liked, and he loved her passionately, he was crazy about her, woke
up texting her, slept with a good night message, called her every hour or so,
she replied most of the times, He was getting addicted to her way to much. The
first love is the deepest, and it surely is, he was so addicted to her that he’d
probably not be able to live without her, there was nothing he loved more than
her. He used to do crazy things for her, to show is love but it was never countered
from her side, she just took it as it went. After being together for almost 2
years, she started to ignore him, never replied texts, never called back, and
he was even more addicted to her than before. And on of the unfortunate days,
she again broke the “Silence”.
“Aman, I’m sorry! I don’t want to
be in a relationship” she said
He was devastated, he didn’t even
know what hit him, he asked her the reason, she said it was nothing!
“There’s no reason, I just don’t want
to be in a relationship that’s it!”
She stopped talking to him, but
he couldn’t stop thinking about her at all. For a guy who never developed
feelings for anything but Science he never had to cry but now, he cried all
night thinking about her, he wanted to call her, listen to her voice, tell her
how much he loved her, but he couldn’t because it didn’t matter to her. Nothing
did. He couldn’t let go of her, forget her. After months of disappointment and
depression, he decided to create a chemical which will help him forget
everything about her. He worked for 2 months in his lab and created a chemical,
he tested in on a mouse, to erase a certain portion of small memory from his
brain, he was successful in erasing the memory from the trained mice’s brain.
Finally he was happy, he knew it will help him forget her. He made new batch
and applied it on himself. He slept, and when he woke up, everything else was
erased but her, the only thing he had in his brain was her, what he thought was
in a small part of his brain was in every single part of his brain, there was
nothing but her in his brain! And everything else contained themselves in small
part and got erased. And now he was left with nothing but her memories in his
head, couldn’t revert back to normal because his Science was gone! The only
Science he knew was “Her”
