I was excited, I was shocked and I was terrified at the same time ..
Before today, I always wondered how many things I would tell Peter when I met him, but today, when he was in front of me, I was silent; I couldn't say anything. I was just looking at him and smiling at him. Seeing me smiling towards him , Peter also came near me.
"Hey, do I know you? I've been looking at you for a long time, and you're smiling at me. What's the matter? " Peter said questioning me
" Uhh , I'm sorry, i didn't mean to.. but , I was just happy to see you."
"Happy to see me ? But how do you know me? Have we met before? "
" Yes ,we've met each other before, Peter gavinsky ... didn't you recognize me? .. I'm natasha verma , do you remember , 4 years ago , when I came to New York on vacation with my parents and I got lost, you helped me find my parents."
I was surprised that how come he did not recognize me till now, has he forgotten me?
"Oh, I'm sorry, but maybe you have a mistaken impression, I don't know you.
" But ... aren't you peter gavinsky? "
I asked like I was questioning my whole existence ...
"Yes, I am, but I don't think I'm the same Peter gavinsky you're looking for, so I'm sorry for that But perhaps you have some misunderstanding...."
His words broke something inside me. I was extremely disappointed to know that whom I considered my crush was not my childhood crush but someone else.
Natasha : ohh , okay .. I'm sorry for wasting your time then ...
I ran away from there hesitantly and went to my dormitory. Lisa also came near me, chasing me. I was sad , I thought I had found Peter, found the one I had come to New York for, but it wasn't like that.
Lisa : hey ! Natasha , What's the matter? Why did you run away from there? And do you know Peter? I saw you talking to him.
"No, I don't know him, but I thought maybe I did. " I said to her .
Lisa : huh ! What are you saying ? I am not able to understand anything ..
I was about to collapse from grief infront of lisa , when Peter also arrived there , rushing towards me .
Peter : Umm, excuse me , if you don't mind, can I talk to Natasha alone, please?
( He asked to lisa ).
Lisa : okay ...
We need to talk about this later ! Lisa whispered to me and walked out of the room.
A silence descended on the entire room. I saw Peter swarming and asked
"What are you doing here? And what do you want to talk to me about now?"
Peter : Uhh, actually, earlier at the basketball ground I was just kidding with you .
"what ! What do you mean by that ?"
Peter : I'm so sorry , actually, I am the Peter you were looking for. I lied to you that I am not Peter Gavinsky just to tease you , i was just doing a prank with you "
" Really ? And you want me to believe you? "
Peter : Hey ! I am telling the truth, trust me....."
"Trust ? How can I trust you after what you just said? It is possible that you are again playing a joke on me. "
Peter : what should I do so that you believe what I'm saying ?
" prove it "...
Peter : huh !
"If you are telling the truth , then prove it "
I said, looking at him suspiciously.
Peter : " 4 years ago , it was June, you had come to New York on vacation with your parents, you were roaming in Chalsea market and got separated from your parents in the crowd, you were not able to find them ,
Then I came over, extended my hand to you, and asked you if you were lost. When you said yes, I decided to help you and took you to the phone booth. I asked you for your parents' contact number and called them and then you met your parents again, your parents thanked me and asked my name. And then I told them my name, "Peter Gavinsky," and I left, right?
I was amazed, he knew every single detail, and only Peter Gavinsky could tell me all this, the real Peter Gavinsky. I looked at him with a smile and sparkling eyes ...
" I finally found you , Peter Gavinsky"
I told him and I just kept looking at him, then Lisa also came there.
" Ahem , ahem , excuse me guys
Sorry to interrupt you, if you are done talking then can I come inside now ? " Lisa said in a playful tone.
"Uhh , yeah sure you can lisa , it's your room Anyways "
I said to Lisa in an overwhelming tone ..
"Okay then , Natasha, I should also go now, see you later .. "
"Okay peter , nice to meet you again "
"Same here "
Peter also left from there , He looked at me smiling before leaving and I looked at him too.
"Ohh my gosh ! natasha , you didn't tell me that you already knew Peter. "
"No, I don't know Peter that well, we just met once."
" Huh ! But when ? How ? And where ?"
I told Lisa about my beautiful first meeting with Peter.
"Ohh, so you mean Peter helped you? And that's why you've had a crush on him? And you came here to study just for him ! "
"Yeah , but please don't tell this to anyone, just keep it secret. "
"Okay , as you wish my friend but Why didn't you tell Peter that you came here looking for him? And that you like him "
"But , Isn't it too early for doing this "
"Not at all , Look, he is single right now, so you have a chance, don't let this opportunity go, just go and tell him about your feelings , just go for it girl "
After listening to Lisa's words, this question also came to my mind that should I tell Peter whether I like him or not?
