After
my SSC examination I had lots of time to spare. I lived
with my parents in a fifth floor of a flat building in Dhaka.
Being on the top floor of the flat, we always had a very
good access to the roof. Most of the afternoon me, my mother
and my younger sister used to go to the roof to get the
fresh wind. It was very pleasant up there, we talked, laughed
and had fun.
A new five story building just finished and rented out the
new families. That building was very close to ours building,
you could almost jump one roof to other. As usual, one day
I went up on the roof in the evening, I saw the most beautiful
girl in my whole 16 years life. She was just walking on
the next building roof from one end to other. To make my
story short, my first teenage love affair begin from here.
Really.
From that day I went up on the roof everyday. She was also
a regular on up there too. I waitrf all day just for the
evening. After few days we started talking, just hello and
how are you kind of talk. I got to know her a little bit.
She also finished SSC exam as well. Most of the time my
mother used to comes up with me along with my other neighbors,
that became a problem for us. I had to make many excuses
for my mother not to go up. It was really a very exciting
time. We never could have a 2 minutes conversation alone.
After a month or so, she started not coming to the roof.
I went up on the roof everyday and waited for her. But she
was nowhere to be found. She never came back again. It was
so sad for me. I waited and waited day after day. For some
reason, I still believe that she will come back and I will
see her again on the roof top.
Even today, I continue to go up on the roof. Miracle do
happen. If you read this story, you know who you are. Please
come and see me on the roof again. I am still waiting for
you.
