Stranger things happen in everyone's life and there is nothing that can prevent them from happening. But when you let things happen that you had full control over it kills you deep down. If not then, it will now. My life has a similar story to tell. I was young and confident, everyone's favorite. I liked to be the center of attention when people used to praise my dress sense, humor, voice, and personality, it sort of made me firm about the feeling that no one would ever reject me. Days were passing by and I was pursuing my graduation and had joined several cultural clubs. Slowly I became more popular than any other girl in the entire year. There I met a lot of people who became my closest buddies. I was not interested in relationships but never hated flirting with guys.
Everyone knew that I was really quick in forgetting people and enjoying my life but that year was destined to give me a lot of surprises.
After we were done with our exams, a new guy caught my attention in the college theatre group.
He came to give an audition for a musical drama where I was the lead and he was among those guys who wanted to be cast opposite me.
I didn't notice him anywhere throughout the year and there he was winning everyone's heart with his expressions.
During rehearsals, we easily became friends because for the first time I was not trying to look cool or confident. I found myself distracted from the things I used to like. All the boys who I was flirting with seemed annoying, so I cut off my chit-chat times with them.
I started liking him but when he did not give me the attention I used to get from others it kind of hurt my ego and then I began to do things that I was good at.
I made extra efforts to impress him and gave him all my attention and he took it seriously. Where I was just trying to prove to everyone that no one can ditch me, he made me his life.
We were happy but the reasons were different. I had his attention and he mistook me for his love.
It was February and I was as usual as if nothing has changed.
He proposed to me on his knees in front of everyone and I acted miserably and in the most foolish way, saying "What is happening here?"
When he started moving on, I began to miss him. I called him over and over but he did not talk about that again. My friends gave me hope and asked me to win his heart over.
I proposed to him in front of everyone saying sorry but he held me up very and turned me down very calmly saying, "Sorry."
This is how I learned my biggest lesson and that day still haunts me, how I let the most humble boy go away.
