For a boy who always considered study important it’s difficult to imagine being involved in useless thing like love. Well, useless until now only. This is the story of a boy who is busy with his computer engineering study. He considered programming more important than interacting to humans. It’s not like he was introvert or something. He loved cracking jokes, getting people involved in activities. But, being in relationship was something he always avoided. Also, why not. Computer engineering is a vast ocean. The more you dive the more depth you find. But he was about to experiencing something different.

Intelligence has always been attracted our boy. He always respected the intelligent minds. One day he came in contact with his class 6th female classmate. Yes, you heard it right class 6th. Seems kind of a cute story of a little boy and a girl right? Well the girl just wasn’t just classmate for the boy. She was his life’s first crush. All the silence inside the boy turned into the storm and took the boy by surprise. They both started chatting with each other. Call it a fate or what, the boy got blessed by something unfortunate. It was novel Corona virus outbreak. The worldwide pandemic was declared. Colleges shut down. Both , the boy and the girl got a sudden break from there daily life.

Oh my! Did I forget to describe the girl. Well it’s not late yet. The girl was more studious than boy and dedicated. Funny story right? What are these geeks doing in this love world. Are they lost? or it’s the simultaneous action of hormones on both side. Well who cares. The girl being an introvert didn’t talked to many boys. Better say her misandrist for now. Well there was one more reason for her developing a repulsion from males, but let’s not unveil it for now. Wondering how this nerd kind of boy was even lucky enough to talk to that girl. No answer here. So, moving on to the story. The girl asked the boy how he remembered her. At the boy confessed that she was his life’s first crush and he was unable to forget her no matter what. The girl acted calmly. Calmly only for now.

As they kept on talking, they started getting more curious of each other. Girl was somewhat cogitative. She kept of thinking about future. She, always kept on asking the boy some weird questions about future. The boy kindly smiled and took these questions as challenges and kept on answering in best possible way. pretty adventurous boy. right? Well more they know more they fell in love with each other. If this have been normal days they might have gone at a normal pace. But this Corona, acted as catalyst. Boy never felt so relaxed and free in his engineering study life.

The government has ordered lockdown in country for more days. Both do have a lot of time and this vast new world in front of them. Let’s hope for the best and keep your fingers crossed for the next edition of story.

Update: Next part is up.
