Part 3

Vikram felt what Manoj told was true, he thought of the past ten months, from the day he met Shreya to current day… Each day was beautiful. He realized that he was in love with Shreya…

“No time to waste, I have to now decide how to express my love to her!!! Shall I directly propose her or shall I send her a message or shall I call??? Is it ok if I just say those three words or something else has to be added? How to make her feel special? Will I find how to propose a girl on Google??? Or should I write a love letter… Haaa Yes!!! I will write a love letter!!!”

Vikram was very excited that he found a way to express his love… He took a sheet of paper, a pen, a writing ledge and started to write

“Respected Shreya,

            As I have fallen in love…” “Oye wait I have seen this kind of letter somewhere… This looks like a leave letter and not a love letter!!! Respected Shreya??? Ha ha… She will throw the letter on my face the moment she sees it :D “

He tore the paper and took another one and started… “Actually…”” what actually? Oh god, first word itself looks like an excuse” crsssh, he tore it and got a notebook this time…

“Is there any book called how to write a love letter in 30 days??? Or a McGrawHill Publication Title – Learn to write Love Letters??? Atleast is there any template on Google for love letters??? No wait, why should I use someone’s idea to propose my girlfriend???”

“My Dear Shreya,

            I am feeling very lucky, happy and blessed that I met you in my life, not once but twice. There is very small difference between the two meetings.

First time I met you during childhood days, we played, we fought, we went around to places, and then you left me and went. I felt bad for two days and things were back to normal after that. There was no big difference before you came and after you left.

But when I met you second time 10 months ago, a lot of things changed. Before you came into my life I used to talk, I used to eat, I used to message, I used to hang out with friends, I was watching movies on weekends, bunk classes and roam all around city, It was just ‘I’ in my life,  but from the day I met you everything changed.
            I started talking to ‘YOU’, I started eating with ‘YOU’, I started messaging ‘YOU’, I hang out with ‘YOU’, whatever I am doing, I find ‘YOU’ in it. Every time I think of ‘YOU’, a smile crawls onto my lips not matter what the situation is… With just another two months of college, then engineering in some other state, I am not ready to imagine things without you Shreya…. I feel very scared that I may not meet you again in my life…

            I know you hate it when I used “Flirty” dialogues when I text you, but just bear with my dialogue one last time…

“If rainbow is my pen, all the water in the ocean is the ink, all stars are my words, and Sky is my paper, still I won’t be able to express how much I like you Shreya”. Please make your heart strong while reading this… “Shreya I love you!!!... I love you so much…!!! “

It took great courage for me to write this, I don’t know how I am going to give this to you, I don’t know whether you are going to accept my proposal, the thought of you rejecting me itself is so scary, the tears in my eyes are crying with sadness not sure what happens to me… I don’t have the courage to hear you rejecting me, so tomorrow I will be waiting near gate. If you also love me please wear “Blue Chudidhar and come, and if you don’t like me then color doesn’t matter, wear which ever color you want…

Looking forward for many great tear filled sweet shared memories with you in my life… Eagerly waiting to see you in Blue Chudidhar Tomorrow…

 

Yours Ever Loving

Vikram”

“Ufff, finally completed the letter. This is tougher than filling additional sheets during exams!!!” Tear rolled out on the paper from Vikram’s eyes.
Am I crying???This shows … Now how should I give this letter to her???”

“Shreya Please come near our regular place now…” Vikram texted Shreya

“Ok Vikram :)” Shreya replied

Beep Beep… 1 message received

“Hey Vikram, I am feeling bored buddy… shall we go out???” messaged Govinda

So sweet of you Govi, finally I found a way….

“Sure my dearest friend, I will be near your home in ten min” Vikram replied, folded the love letter, kept in his pocket and started to Govinda’s home…

“Oye sorry to say yar, I don’t know why I’m feeling scared the moment I read your msg. Hope you are not planning anything mischievous” replied Govinda, someone knocked the door and he was surprised to see Vikram

“What happened to you Vikram, you never replied so soon since months, and now within minutes you are here… I sense something bad happening to me” said Govinda

“You have sixth sense buddy… Chal aaj kuch thufaani karthe hai…” exclaimed Vikram pulling Govina onto his bike without giving him time to think…

“Vikram tell yar what are we doing??? Where are we going??? Go slow you idiot??? Oye oye watch out… you are going to hit that bus… How nice it would be if a bike had a seat belt??? Mummy!!! Someone save me…” Govinda was helplessly shouting along the way…

They reached a super market. Govinda saw Shreya waiting there…

“Vikram Shreya is here see… I think she came for shopping… By the way why did we come??” Govinda started his questionnaire…

Vikram opened his purse, took out the letter, gave it to govinda and asked him to give it to Shreya…

“What is this? Why should I give it to her??? She will slap me if I give… is this the thufaani you told about??? I drink only milk I don’t want to do any thufaani” Govinda refused with shivering legs…

“Will you give or not???” Vikram exclaimed…

“Why are you getting so angry Vikram??? Ok anything for you, tell me what should I do?” replied Govi

“Sorry but we are doing this today, take this letter, give it to her, start running towards me, don’t stop even if she calls… Understood???” replied Vikram

“What understoodoo??? I am feeling something… my stomach is hosting cricket match, world is rotating… give that letter here…” Govi took the letter from Vikram and started walking towards Shreya.

Shreya was wondering why vikram is not coming and his friend is coming near her. Govinda approached Shreya, without looking at her eyes, he gave the letter and started running as if his Trouser was on fire…

“Govindaaaa…. Eh Govindaaa” Vikram shouted

“ha comingggg…” Govinda shouted back

“You idiot… you are running in the opposite way… Come this side” Vikram shouted back

Govinda had run very far and couldn’t here Vikram… Before Vikram came back to his senses Shreya was near Vikram. Vikram got shocked and tried to start the bike but Shreya snatched the keys and started asking Vikram

“What is going on, What happened to you???” asked Shreya…

“What happened to me I am perfectly fine, nothing happened, please give the keys I want to go home” replied Vikram

“I will kill you. Why did you ask me to come? And now why do you want to run away? Why did you give your telephone bill to me? That too through your friend…!” asked Shreya

“Telephone bill????” Vikram Exclaimed, Checked his pocket and found the letter.

“Oh god!!! Shreya we will have one deal, give the keys back and I will give you something which I wanted to give” Vikram replied

“What did you want to give???” asked Shreya

“I told na, give the keys and I will give it. Please” Pleaded Vikram

“Ok here you go” Shreya returned the keys

“Take this…” Vikram gave the letter to Shreya and left the place on his bike.

On the way home, he started thinking…”Did I make a mistake? Did I do the right thing giving her the letter? Was it too soon? What is going to happen? She’ll definitely call me now… What should I talk? I will switch the phone off first!!!”

Vikram reached home and switched his phone off… He sat on the bed staring at the phone… The clock ticking was hurting his ears, he could hear his heartbeat… Each beat delayed by a sec… Each passing hour reminded him of Shreya’s decision… Alarm rang, it was already 7 am. Vikram started to get ready, he wanted to reach college before Shreya. 

Vikram was waiting near the gate of is college. He was having the tensest moments of his life, sweating profusely… Pin drop silence in his mind, even the slightest movement was catching his attention… And then a cool breeze touched his face, a small dust particle fell in his eyes, while in the process of removing it, he touched the retina and eyes were filled with water… At the corner of his eyes, he saw someone walking slowly towards him… Each leg following the other, each strand of hair floating in the cool breeze, “what other moment can be there than this to see a girl???” thought Vikram… His eyes were jealous of each other that the other eye was seeing Shreya… “Angel, walking towards me, just like the way you were sculpted on the chocolate, ahhh ur dress!!! I suppose this red color was discovered for you to wear it!!! I love you Shreya…” Vikram was lost in his thoughts...”Wait a minute!!!” Vikram suddenly realized something!! The content of his love letter…

“. If you also love me please wear “Blue Chudidhar and come, and if you don’t like me color doesn’t matter, wear which ever color you want…”

“She’s wearing red??? Oh god… Did I come to see this??? Why Shreya why???  Its better to first leave this place and go…” Vikram thought and started moving towards his bike. He thought of seeing Shreya one last time, and looked at her, at the same time she looked at him too… He saw that her face was filled with anger, her eyes matched her dress... fierce red… She started calling “Hey Vikram, wait there… I need to talk to you” the moment she said that he sat on his bike and tried to start the bike but in vain. He then realized that the bike key had fallen down… By the time he could find the key, Shreya was standing in front of Vikram. He knew that he can’t escape, so he tried talking to her…

“Shreyaa…” Vikram tried to talk…

Before Vikram could complete, she pulled her hand and gave one hard slap on Vikram’s cheek…

“What Happe..” chaaaaaat one more she gave on the cheek…

“What the hell do you think of yourself? You give me a letter, you run away, you switch off your phone, now you are trying run away again?? Where’s your phone???” Shreya angrily shouted at Vikram

Vikram took out his phone and Shreya pulled it from him and switched it on…
Within few minutes phone started to vibrate…

4 messages received.

Shreya gave the phone to Vikram and asked him to read…

And he opened the first message of the three… “You know what I hate you…” reading that Vikram’s eyes were filled with tears… chaaaaatttt one more slap on the face… “Go on read it aloud…”

“Why the hell have you switched off your phone??? Is everything alright??? Why aren’t you picking the landline also??? Please Vikram respond!!!” Sorry Shreya, my landline is dead L…. Chaaaaatttt…”Did I ask you anything now??? Read the message” Shreya exclaimed!!

“Oye I don’t have Blue dress… So I am wearing that Red color chudidhaar, the one you got sculpted on the chocolate… Is that ok??? Tried calling you, but your number is not reachable… Please call na feel like talking to you…”

Reading that a smile sprouted on Vikram’s face… “Why are you smiling read the messages” Shreya shouted…

“Hey Vikram… Felt your letter J Are you serious??? I never thought you would propose me, and that too with a love letter and that too with all your mischievous things… You could have directly given it naaa…”

Vikram looked at Shreya, her beautiful eyes staring at him, she looked cute, he was happy for she being angry, he understood how much she tried to contact him just to say she did

“Shreya….” Vikram called out…

“What” Shreya asked…

“Month end na…” Vikram replied

“So what????” Shreya got irritated

“So sugar is out of stock at home, and ants are hungry… So if you permit, I will save your number on my phone again, so that they can eat, like the way they ate the first day I saved your number!!!” Vikram replied

Shreya burst into laughter and said…

“You are an idiot Vikram… Seriously… and…” Shreya replied

“and????” Vikram asked eagerly…

“And… nothing…” Shreya started to blush

“I will complete on your behalf… I love you shreyaaaaaaaa…” proposed Vikram…

“I love you too my idiot……” Shreya accepted….
