The End or the Beginning..

Day 7

I touched the ‘send’ button and the message was sent. Due to anxiety or fear or whatever you call it, I was scared of reading her reply, so, I put my phone on silent and slept.

I woke up early the next morning. I must admit in the last few days I didn’t sleep much and how could someone sleep when a pretty girl keeps him awake!

Anyways, the phone was just a few cm away, gathering all courage I picked it up but there was no message. I was not disappointed rather shocked! At least I was expecting a no. Even the titillating wallpaper of ‘Deepika Padukone’ didn’t improve my mood. There I was, in my bed, feeling just like a lost warrior, with no hopes left. I didn’t bother to get up from my bed. I thought of sending another message but then decided against it.

After the ‘depression’ session of about 30 minutes, my phone beeped. I instantly checked the message. It was from her and the contents of the message finally brought a smile to my face. It read-

Hey. Sorry, I refused to meet you. I myself wanna meet you before going and I’ll try my best to meet you. :)

I immediately got up given the fact I had to get ready and also think of a decent, unique and original proposal. But, before that, I replied-

That’s great. Thank you. I won’t take much of your time. ;) 

I waited around 5 minutes but with the decreasing chances of getting a reply, I left to get ready. All the time, I kept thinking on what to say and how to say? First, I thought of writing a poem expressing my feelings and put it in her letter box with a rose but the thought of her father finding it scared the shit out of me. Finally, being unable to come up with an idea, I sat down, took a paper and penned the following lines:

Hi. You remember you once asked me about my blog, I changed the topic then. Well, here’s the link to the blog- www.ankurgspeaks.blogspot.com . I have written a short story, I hope you’ll like it.

PS: Please turn this page only after you read all the previous chapters of the story.

Actually, I am stuck on its climax . I guess you might help me. I hope that you must have read all the 'episodes', please read the last chapter which is as follows-

"Finally, as the time of her leaving the city was approaching, my heartbeats were increasing. I went to the terrace. Waited for around 5-10 minutes and finally decided to message her- ‘Hey. Can you please come to the terrace for 5 minutes?’ She arrived looking more beautiful than she ever did. As she arrived closer, the nervousness in me reached new levels.

But with some courage I said, ‘ hi’.

‘hii’,she said. Oooh…that sweet voice. For a moment, I was lost but I recomposed myself.

‘So, you wanted to see me?’, she asked in the sweetest possible way.

‘Yeah, just to give you this’, I said presenting two Cadbury dairy milks(Girls love dairy milks.. ;) ) and added,’ koi shubh kaam krne se pehle kuch meetha kha  lena chahiye…all the best for your college’.

‘Aww…thank you so much for wishing me such a sweet beginning’, she said.

‘Btw, I need a favour ’, I said and presented the letter containing my ‘last episode’.

On reading that, she replied,’                                                                        '. "

I just want you to write the reply coz I just don’t know what she feels for me. :) 

I finished writing this letter making sure that my writing was clear enough so that she can read it properly. Got up and went to the market to buy two cadburys.

Finally, after coming back, I paced up to the terrace and messaged her- ‘Hey. Can you please come to the terrace for 5 minutes?’. She arrived looking more beautiful than she ever did. As she came closer, the nervousness in me reached new levels. 

But with some courage I said, ‘ hi’.

‘hii’,she said. Oooh…that sweet voice. For a moment, I was lost but I recomposed myself.

‘So, only 5 minutes, huh?’, she asked in the sweetest possible way.

‘Yeah, just to give you this’, I said presenting two Cadbury dairy milks and added,’ koi shubh kaam krne se pehle kuch meetha kha  lena chahiye…all the best for your college’.

‘Aww...thank you so much’, she said with the sweetest smile ever. :)

As she saw the letter in my hand, her eyebrows went up and she asked,'A love letter?'

I could have sworn that I saw a hint of smile on her face and with that I presented her the letter and said,' A love letter? Nah..just need a favour.'

'Favour? As in?', she looked a bit confused.

‘Yep. Read this and you’ll understand’, I said with a smile while my heart was beating louder and louder.

She was just gonna open it when I said, 'No no, not now. Read it when you are free.' 

We talked a bit and I bid her good bye and she left and before she vanished, I heard her voice one last time for the next few months probably,’ thank you very much for such a sweet beginning’ and she disappeared.

Later that evening, I came to the terrace. It looked totally different but it was the only place which probably understood me, my feelings. With the ‘Hale dil’ playing through my earphones and the its lyrics totally befitting my situation..

Aye kaash, kaash yun hota

Har sham, sath toh hota

Chup chap, dil na yun rota

Har sham, sath tu hota..
