Mehul Chakravarty, a eighteen year old Bengali lad, born and brought up in Calcutta had cleared the All India Manipal University Online entrance test and joined the Medical College in Mangalore.
Life had changed drastically for him ever since he left his hometown where he was caged most of the time in his parents' 2BHK flat.
His reasons for never dating a girl was quite different from that of most of the others, and it sounded more genuine. His parents never let him out with his friends except for the school picnic, and unlike most of the others, he never had a cellphone. His parents never bought him one because they were fearful about his career and did not want him to screw it up because of some girl or bad company. They did their best to cut off his almost non-existent social life as much as possible, just to make his life more vulnerable, rendering him lonely and desolate.
18 years of captivity had resulted in his extremely shy and introvert behaviour, which made it difficult for him to make friends, but people got easily attracted to him due to his charm. The first 8 days in Mangalore had been really strenuous but he eventually made his way through it. Soon, he had a set of friends who were hard to get. Krunal, Milaan and Abhishekh had been people who bonded up with him in a matter of few days and stood by his side whenever he needed them.
And now, he also had another reason to be excited about. He had a crush on a girl, which never happened to him in the past 18 years. Shanaya Awasthi, a 2nd year MBBS student, who was apparently his senior. She was the daughter of a well known Industrialist of Mangalore, and by merely looking at her, one could say that she was out of his league. He knew that too, so he never confronted her. And even if he tried winning her heart, he knew his adamant mother would never accept a non-bengali girl as her daughter in law. Ah, Mehul and his dreams.
One evening when he was standing in a queue to get the entrance tickets at the Karavali Fair near the Mangala Stadium with his friends, he saw Shanaya standing in the queue, a little ahead of him, and when she turned back to talk to a friend of hers, she smiled at him. He was jumping with joy for quite some time after that. Soon, they were inside, trying out all the rides. His friends, unlike him, were scared of the giant wheel. As a kid, Mehul was afraid of sitting inside a giant wheel, but as he grew up, he loved it more than every other ride ever invented. He loved how one would reach great heights in half a minute, and would be very close to the ground in the next half. He found a giant wheel very much like one's life. The ups and downs, they were so similar.
So as his friends backed out, he stood in the queue all alone, only to find Shanaya right ahead of him. She smiled again, and he smiled back.
'Junior, right?' She asked, and his face drooped.
'Yes.' He muttered.
And the next minute, the cabin was full as all her friends had got into one, and the person in charge of it had shut their cabin. They tried convincing him to let her in, too, but to no avail.
'I'll stand and watch you guys.' She said loudly, looking at them, as the other cabin arrived.
'You can accompany me, if you want to. My friends are afraid sitting inside a giant wheel,' He said, smiling at her.
'To be frank, I am afraid, too. But if you insist, I'll join in,' She said, and he helped her get inside the cabin.
He followed her inside. And she sat right next to him.
' You don't puke, do you?' He asked, and the both of them laughed as she punched him on his arm.
Within a minute,they were up, in the sky, enjoying the high. Yes, he gets high on giant wheel rides, but there was an addition to it. Shanaya, as said, was afraid of giant wheel rides, and so, she was literally holding him tight, her face rubbing against his chest, effective enough to cause a hormonal imbalance, and tightening his jeans. He slowly moved his hands around her, and held her tight as she muttered a soft 'thank you' in between her screaming sessions.
After a while, as the giant wheel slowed down, his heart beat more rapidly because he was afraid. Afraid of losing her, afraid of going away from her, and never talking to her again. He wanted the ride to go on for his entire life. He never wanted it to end. Had he been given an option between making love to her for a day and spending his entire life on the giant wheel, he would have opted for the latter.
But life never works as per our plan, and their giant wheel ride came to an end.
He got down from the cabin first, and slowly pulled her down, holding her hands.
'Would you like to join me for the roller coaster ride?' She asked, and he wasn't sure if it was happening for real or he was dreaming. If he was dreaming, he did not want anyone to wake him up from such a beautiful dream.
'Would you?' She asked again, bringing him out of the thoughts about this entire incident being a dream.
'Why not? I'd love to.' He said, smiling at her.
Her friends walked up to them, and she asked him to excuse her for a minute. She spoke to them for a minute, and walked back to him.
'What about them?' He asked, pointing at her friends.
'Why are you so interested in them?' She smirked.
'No, I didn't mean that. I was just inquiring.' He retorted.
'There are better things to inquire about, Mr. Junior.' She gave a naughty smile.
'Like?' He asked, a little baffled at her statement.
'Like why I am asking you out for a roller coaster ride?' She smile, and her cheeks turned crimson.
He smiled.
Now, all he had to do was convince his mother to let him marry a non-bengali girl. Mission impossible.
