Their eyes met….in silence

It was her first day of college

she was shy, confused

she kept her eyes to the ground and walked to her class

her hair was untied and loosened floating in the air around her

dancing with the whispering wind

She went surpassing all the seniors to her class

her heart was beating profusely as she was approaching her class

It was a new place, new people

she sat at the edge of the bench, watching her classmates entering

all vague faces around her, only a few she had seen during the induction

suddenly her eyes feel on a person who was sitting on the bench, two benches away from her on the other edge

she sat keeping her head bend down, yet her eyes trying to focus on him

she smiled when their eyes met, and he smiled too

their eyes met silently and her heart felt like a blooming flower

his smile was infectious, that her face brightened up

she felt her nervousness had shattered away

their eyes played hide and seek

but were like magnets, kept on attracting each other

he slowly walked to her, and rested his hands on the desk and looked into her eyes

he asked in a husky voice ” What’s your name? “

and She smiled.
