SOMETIMES THE SMALLEST CRUSHES CAN LEAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON OUR LIVES.

By Salini Kathir Published 3 years ago 9 min read

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Maya who had a crush on a boy named Rohit in her school days. Maya had always been crazy about Rohit since her school days. Rohit was two years older than her and also her senior. She would often see him in the school corridor and her heart would skip a beat. She would blush and hide behind her friends, trying not to let Rohit notice her.

Maya would spend hours daydreaming about him and wondering if he ever noticed her. She would steal glances at him during class, trying to memorize every feature of his face. She would imagine what it would be like to talk to him, to hold his hand, and to be his girlfriend.

Maya's daydreams about Rohit were always filled with love, romance, and adventure. She would imagine going on long walks with him, holding hands, and talking for hours about everything under the sun.

In her fantasies, they would sit by the lake, watching the sunset, and talking about their future together. They would travel to exotic places, explore new cultures, and experience new things together. Maya would imagine Rohit holding her tight, looking deep into her eyes, and telling her how much he loved her.

She would often lose herself in her daydreams, imagining Rohit as her prince charming, rescuing her from all her problems and making her feel like the most important person in the world. Maya would imagine herself as the happiest person alive, walking hand in hand with Rohit, feeling loved and cherished.

But her daydreams were always cut short when she realized that Rohit was still just a dream. She would snap back to reality, feeling sad and alone, knowing that she could never be with him. But even though she knew that her fantasies could never be real, she never stopped dreaming about Rohit. But rohit had feeling for another girl, so Maya never confessed her love to him.

Years went by, and they both went their separate ways. Maya moved to a different city, and Rohit stayed in their hometown. One day, unexpectedly, Rohit contacted Maya through Instagram. When Rohit contacted her after all these years, Maya couldn't believe her luck. She was over the moon with joy and couldn't wait to catch up with him. She had butterflies in her stomach when she talked to him and couldn't believe that her school crush was finally talking to her. That day she came to know about his breakup with the other girl. They talked for a while, but eventually, they lost touch again.

Years later, Maya was dared by her friends to contact her school crush, and so she found Rohit on Facebook. They started talking like strangers, but Rohit soon realized who Maya was, and they started being friends with each other. They talked like friends for years, and eventually, they confessed their love for each other after two years.

Maya couldn't believe that the boy she had a crush on for years was now in love with her. She cherished every moment they spent talking to each other and replayed their conversations in her head when they weren't talking. She saved his voice messages and played them over and over again, smiling every time she heard his voice. She also loved watching his moves during their video calls, admiring the way he looked at her and the little things he did that made her heart flutter. Maya was head over heels in love with Rohit and she knew that he felt the same way. They talked about their future together and how they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

Maya imagined Rohit as her king, who would solve all her problems like a warrior. She felt like nothing could hurt her when he was with her. She trusted him completely and knew that he would always be there for her. Whenever she felt down, Rohit would lift her up with his kind words and loving gestures.

Maya felt like she had found her soulmate in Rohit. They were so in sync with each other that it felt like they were meant to be together. They shared the same values, dreams, and passions. Maya felt like she had finally found her place in the world, and it was right by Rohit's side.

Despite the distance between them, Maya felt closer to Rohit than anyone else. She shared everything with him, from her deepest fears to her wildest dreams. Rohit listened to her with patience and understanding, and Maya felt like she could trust him with anything.

As their love grew stronger, Maya couldn't imagine a life without Rohit. He had become an integral part of her life, and she felt like she couldn't breathe without him. Maya prayed every day that they would be together soon and that nothing would come in the way of their love.

Maya would share everything about her crush on Rohit during their night calls. She would tell him how she first saw him in school, how she felt her heart race every time he passed by, and how she blushed every time she thought of him. The boy listened to her every word with a smile on his face, as if he was hearing the story for the first time.

Even though they had been talking for years, Maya never ran out of things to say about her love for Rohit. She would talk about his smile, his laugh, and the way he walked, and the boy would listen intently, hanging on to every word she said. Maya felt like she was talking to her best friend, her confidant, and her soulmate, all rolled into one.

The boy would blush every time Maya shared her story with him, as if he couldn't believe that he was the one she had a crush on. He would tell her how special she was to him and how lucky he felt to have her in his life.

However, they were living in different cities, and every time they tried to meet, something would come up, and they couldn't. Maya hoped that one day they would be together and Rohit would make all her dreams come true. They laughed, cried, fought, and loved each other.

Maya asked Rohit if his family would accept their love and make their marriage happen, but he didn't say anything, and they started fighting. Even though they continued talking, it wasn't the same as before. One day, Rohit told Maya that they should break up because his family wouldn't accept their love. Maya begged him to reconsider, but he blocked her on everything.

Maya knew that Rohit's family was wealthy, and she came from a middle-class family. She understood that this might be a reason why Rohit was hesitant about their relationship. She tried to talk to him about it, but he avoided the conversation. She knew that Rohit was avoiding her, but she could not accept that their love was not enough to overcome this obstacle.

Despite their arguments and fights, Maya still loved Rohit deeply. She couldn't imagine her life without him. She hoped that someday he would understand that love knows no boundaries of social status or wealth. However, Rohit had made up his mind, and he had decided to end their relationship. He blocked her on every possible platform, leaving Maya heartbroken and shattered.

Months passed, and Maya tried her best to move on. But none of them helped her. She knew that she was still in love with him, and she couldn't help but hope that they would be reunited someday.

Maya realized that Rohit had moved on, and she was just a distant memory to him. She was heartbroken, but she knew that she had to let him go. She blocked him on every social media platform, trying to forget about him and move on with her life. But deep down, Maya still had hope. She knew that their love was real, and she prayed that one day, Rohit would come back to her, and they could be together forever.

Maya couldn't help but think that Rohit still had feelings for her, even though he had avoided her. She was thinking if he was trying to protect her from the pain of being together but not being able to stay together. But she don’t know what really Rohit is thinking about her. Maya knew that Rohit was a kind and considerate person, and she thought that maybe he was sacrificing his own happiness for her.

But at the same time, Maya couldn't bear the thought of being without Rohit. She loved him too much, and the idea of losing him was too painful to even consider. Maya knew that their love was strong enough to overcome any obstacle, but she also knew that it would take a lot of courage and determination to fight for their love.

On Rohit's birthday, Maya unblocked him and wished him, hoping that he would reply. To her surprise, Rohit replied with a simple "Thank you." She saw this as a ray of hope and messaged him about their relationship, but Rohit replied coldly, saying that she was dreaming about something that would never happen.

Maya was devastated. She couldn't believe that Rohit had moved on so easily. She decided to block him on every possible platform on his birthday, hoping that someday he would understand her and make their love and marriage happen.

Maya couldn't help but cry every night, even though she tried to hide it from everyone. She felt so lost without Rohit, and the pain of their separation was almost too much to bear. She would lay in her bed, hugging her pillow, and cry herself to sleep, thinking about their love and what could have been.

She wondered if Rohit ever thought about her, if he missed her as much as she missed him. She knew that their love was true, but their circumstances made it impossible to be together.

Despite the pain, Maya held on to the hope that someday they would reunite. She imagined a future where their families accepted their love and they could be together without any obstacles. That hope was the only thing that kept her going through those dark, lonely nights.

Maya tried her best to move on and forget about Rohit, but she couldn't help but feel the pain of their separation. She cried herself to sleep every night, hoping that things would change and they would be together again. She kept their memories close to her heart, and every time she thought of him, her heart ached.

Despite her pain, Maya continued to live her life and pursued her dreams. She graduated from college with honors, made new friends and she searching for a job. But no matter how she distracted her feelings for him, she couldn't shake off the feeling of longing and sadness that filled her heart. She still has a hope that one day they will be together and live their life happily.

Maya felt like she had nowhere else to turn but to the divine. She prayed to every god she knew, hoping that they would hear her plea and bring Rohit back into her life. She made promises to the gods, saying that if they granted her wish, she would do anything they asked of her. She would give to charity, volunteer her time to those in need, and do whatever it took to make sure that her wish was granted.

Maya's faith and hope kept her going through the tough times, and she never gave up on her love for Rohit. She continued to pray every night, holding onto the hope that one day they would be reunited and live happily ever after.

The story ends with a question: Will they be reunited, or will their love story end here? Only time will tell.

Despite the pain and heartbreak that came with her separation from Rohit, Maya was grateful for the experience. It had taught her so much about love, loss, and the strength of the human spirit. It had also pushed her to grow and evolve as a person, to become more confident, self-sufficient, and independent.

The memories of her love on Rohit had also stayed with her, reminding her of the innocent and pure feelings of her love. They had inspired her to pursue a career in writing and storytelling, to capture the magic and beauty of love through words and bring joy to others.

Years had passed, and Maya had moved on with her life, but the impact of that small crush incident and love on Rohit had stayed with her, shaping her entire future. It had taught her that even the smallest moments could have a big impact on our lives and that every experience, good or bad, could teach us valuable lessons and help us grow.

In the end, Maya was grateful for the experience, and although she never saw Rohit again, she carried him in her heart as a symbol of her love and the lessons that came with it.
