THE BOOMERANG LOVE

An aura of excitement filled the whole campus.Everywhere there were students with anxious faces outside and a thrill filled excitement inside,as it is the first day of their college life.It was like entering into a new world and some of them were accompanied by their parents who gave advices weighing equally to the money they paid for fees and these students had one aim in their lives, that is to return that money with interest.
As the students walked through the campus they eyed their class mates, to be friends, to be enemies, to be lovers or who knows to be spouses.
Of all the professional careers in this world ,the career of medicine is the best for those who can cope up and worst for those who cannot. Many of them infact all of them wanted to be a great doctor , but a few attained their target .Guess what happened to the rest of them, they either became mediocre doctors who were always in doubt about their diagnosis be it a simple fever.Or some saw each year new class mates as they remained in the same class GOD knows for how many years, and some of them switched on to other courses they thought were easier, only to tell their children that their mom or dad once studied to become a doctor.The most worst thing is some thought it is the end of the road in their life and decided to take it away.
The freshman students wore a shell of frightfulness externally when they saw a senior student and acted as if the last thing they needed was to be ragged ,but the truth is that's the first thing they wanted. As for guys they can talk with beautiful girls or atleast to the opposite sex. And for girls who picked only good looking guys came dressed up to their teeth as if coming for their wedding.
Allen Hastings had no problem in identifying the class, as he steadily increased his pace as he entered into the anatomy demonstration hall where a man in his middle 60's who is supposed to be his professor was teaching."Excuse me sir, said Allen "may i come in?" as his voice entered the room many curious looking faces turned to look at him from head to boot.Allen has been blessed with great looks with a good complexion and with a roaring physique which did not need much exposing in contrast to his angelic face.Many wows! were heard from the mouths of girls when they saw Allen and Oh! from the guys who thought they looked the best in the class.His sweet voice seems not to have reached his professor and he was continuing to take his lecture without even a slight change and Allen thought of entering the class and marched forward and sat in the last but one seat.
"Hi buddy" said the fair guy who sat next to Allen, who was also of medium height but was thinner and had a hair that showed its initial signs of baldness."Hi said Allen cheerfully and they exchanged hands under the table."So how's the class going on "asked Allen for which the other boy whose name is Dennis said"I am trying to find out for the last half an hour what topic he is taking, but could not". "Oh! said Allen as he began eyeing his class mates whose backs were only visible to him.Off all of them one particular girl caught his attention.She was slightly darker than him and wore a black dress, the particular reason for his interest towards that girl was she was wearing a medallion which was the exact replica of the one he wore.
Allen went into imagining how her face would look like, but before he finished drawing his mental picture the girl turned back and looked straight at him and he was dumbfounded for an instant, her face was at first he thought was very beautiful but it was a slight exaggeration but no doubt she was beautiful. She studied Allen for a moment ,when he thought of offering his cute smile but she turned her head back in a whisker which made the medallion dance beautifully around her neck.
The professor muttered something and the students realised only after a few seconds that he said"Thank you , the class is over".The noise begun to rise slowly in the classroom well lit by nature's light and the cranking of chairs were mixed with voices of the students.Allen got up still finding it difficult to erase that girl off his mind.He walked relunctantly towards the exit wishing every second that the girl would come behind him and put her hand over his shoulder, but it did happen someone put their hand over him and he excitedly turned to look who it was.

Only to his disappointment, even to his shock to see a silly looking guy. He said" hi man how do ya do?"his voice sounded as if he is talking from a cave. He was fat, very fat with a body shaped like a barrel and one would call it clearly an exaggeration on mentioning the word "shape" to refer his body. He begun to talk something to Allen at the same time ,the girl passed in front of him, near him, and slowly away from him and the words from the mouth of that fat guy only reached as far as Allen's ear and didn't go any further, but Allen's eyes went along with that girl stretching his vision till the end where she faded like a rainbow.
After that seconds passed, minutes passed, hours passed, days passed, months passed and years passed. Each day was a beautiful memoir of challenges ,worries, excitement and other emotions which the world knew not.
One of the thing the college was proud of other than their experienced faculty is the relationship between Allen and Samantha.By the way i did not tell you who Samantha is. She is a beautiful, brilliant girl , with brilliancy slightly outweighing her beauty and always surrounded by an air of confidence around her , and she had a medallion beautifully hanging around her neck.
Yes she is the same girl whom Allen saw on his first day and they loved each other infact they only loved in that college.{i mean true love}
They both were like two pieces of puzzle uniquely designed by the crafty hands of the Almighty, and it will be a little disgrace to their love if i say they just fit.As they were the perfect ,the very perfect match in all the aspects the world ever knew.From the first moment their eyes met they knew that they loved each other and have not proposed in words.You may wonder why their college mates did not have the slightest envy over their relationship as it was so pure and true one will feel ashamed and guilty to the deepest core of his heart if the thought of jealousy spring in their mind.
It all happened on a beautiful monday morning.As they all were listening to one of the last classes which they were ever going to hear in their college life. Professor Smudgy as they called him had the usual habit of finishing his lecture with a quote, or a joke or a story but this day it was a poem, a poem which is going to have a dramatic effect on two members of the class. Smudgy said "this is an exciting poem about true love and is really a truth, this is how the poem goes,
"Love is a boomerang , love is a boomerang
only if it is true.
If it is really true ,you let it go,
like a boomerang, it will come back to you;
If it did'nt come back, it's not love;
As love is a boomerang , love is a boomerang
only if it is true.

As he finished his poem he said"true love is really like a boomerang , it will come back to you irrespective of the separation ". But before he could finish, all the eyes of the students turned simultaneously towards Allen and Samantha and their hearts were praying, praying for the worst not to happen,but it already had happened as a long and wordless speech had already been made between the beautiful eyes of Samantha and the magnetic eyes of Allen. They need not tell their friends that they have decided to see whether theirs was a boomerang love, as all their friends knew them too well.Some of them used abusive, very abusive words against Smudgy{which i cannot mention here} for his disastrous poem which had put the Love , the one Love which they all valued and respected so much, at stake. Even people who adored Smudgy for his skillful hands in surgery scorged him.
Inspite of all the best efforts of their best friends,the dreaded decision was taken.Allen and Samantha are going to be separated, no phone calls, no e-mails, and no other means of contact until the next reunion of the students which is 5 years after that day.So they finally parted with requests, commands and orders from their friends in vain against this stupid decision, stupid only to others as far as they are concerned it is a challenge , a challenge to prove that theirs is a true Love.

......Days rolled over, sun rose brightly and settled down with a melancholy, summer was followed by winter and winter by spring, and finally that precious day arrived....
Various modes of transportation some in flights, some in trains, and others by car like a swift arrow were all aimed at one common target, the college campus for their great and much awaited reunion.Even though all were excited to meet their college friends, to smell that sweet fragrance of old memories, the thing which made this reunion so important and so precious is the Allen -Samantha affair. It had affected some of them to such an extent that it began to haunt them in their dreams, and they were all praying for this day to come soon , so that they can see their precious pair to be together again.
Thus the celebration had begun.Old friends appeared at the college gate which became as rusted as themselves,and almost all the students have come and all were looking eagerly at the entrance for the two people whom they wanted to see.

It suddenly happened like a lightning,first came Allen, who was not a bit changed infact had become a little younger than his college days, but he was not there alone.Samantha arrived just a few seconds later and neither was she alone.... Almost all the hearts in that place blasted, except two, and if there existed some sound for breaking hearts the whole area would have been filled by that deafening sound."Hi Sammy "this must be little Joe" said Allen looking at the small baby in Samantha's arms, "Yes it is"replied Samantha "and this must be your sister Tina " said Samantha looking at the beautiful girl next to Allen.At that moment a deafening sound arose not of broken hearts , but of clapping hands and cheering cries of their friends mixed with emotional tears as they said "True Love is afterall a boomerang" and they begun their great party, but Allen and Samantha were holding their hands and as Samantha leaned her head against the muscular shoulders of Allen, they both said"true love is not just a boomerang made of wood , but of complete faith and trust in each other",this ofcourse they said not in words, but through their ususal method of communication, and they walked sweetly towards the west side where the bright orange sun was telling them "Congrats that's what i call true Love!", and they moved into a different World , and the medallion was dancing beautifully on Samantha's neck waving us all a Good Bye!

{Note:Allen has only heard a few times about Joe who was Samantha's aunt's son but never has seen him and so as Samantha regarding Allen's sister Tina..}
THE END.
