With the arrival of vacation
students,teachers and employees
proceeded to their
respective abodes
by buses, trains or cabs.
For he and she
the vacation moved along like a snail
each day seemed to them like an era.
Though he loved her
and though she loved him
and conveyed their feelings
by exchanging glances
or by conveying smiles
both of them couldn’t
summon the courage
to speak to each other or to open
their hearts to each other.
With the arrival of vacation
both went sad and gloomy.
Each vacation for them was
like a snail’s progress
with none taking the
initiative to convey the
love each one kept hidden
in the inner recesses of
each one’s heart.
During such a vacation
to her shock and disappointment
she with a cloudy heart
witnessed preparations to get
her married off to somebody
whom she didn’t know.
Except her, everyone in the
house was in a
delightful mood and
made it clear to her
about her impending marriage to a handsome youth.
She had to put an end
to her education midway
her heart longed to meet her silent lover
she couldn’t go
out again to the college
and had to spend her days
in seclusion wearing
an artificial smile and with a lump in her throat
with her eyes welling up.
