Me Too - II
Me Too
***The First Meet***
“It’s already
6:30, and its getting really dark, Why isn’t Soumya calling” Thought Ajay
“Let me only call” Ajay took out his sisters phone and
dialled his phone number
“Hello…”
“Dear Brain, please
don’t trouble my heart with your logics, allow it to enjoy the magic” another
line from my book… I don’t know how the right lines are picked up from the book
at the right moment.
“Hey Soumya, This is Ajay here. I’m waiting at the park ,
was waiting for your call”
“Mr. Ajay, I don’t have your number, to call back using your
phone, the phone is also locked, how do you expect me to call?” Soumya
questioned
“Oops, Sorry!! Where
are you now?” Enquired Ajay
“I came back to my home, as it was getting late” replied
Soumya
“Oh!!! :(”
sighed Ajay not knowing what to respond
“Ajay, Where are you now?” questioned Soumya
“I am near the canteen” Replied Ajay
“That’s two streets next to my place, can you come down to 3rd
street down the lane towards ‘Manoj’s Cafe’?” asked Soumya
“Okie will be there in a moment” Ajay disconnected the call
Ajay started driving towards Manoj’s café, and then his
conscious started reciting his lines yet again
“I have seen many sun
rises, many sun sets… Waiting literally for hours, But to see the right girl I
know that my heart has to wait for a lifetime”
“Will you please
stop it!!! It’s just another random girl on the road who has found my phone. I
am just going to meet her to get my phone back. I will say three sentences. Hey
Soumya Ajay here, can I get my phone back and Thank you. Got it? Now stay calm”
Ajay scolded himself and continued driving towards the café.
The street was dark probably because of a transformer short
circuit, the café was lit with candles, and Ajay waved his hand to Manoj who
was standing outside the café, crossed it and couldn’t find Soumya anywhere. He
parked his bike towards the side of the road and called her.
“Ting Ting Ting Ting
Ting Ting Ting… KrrrrK KrrrrK KrrrrK KrrrrK”
“please don’t start of
with another line, no flute no sunrise and don’t tell my lines to me, if you
are so interested in telling poetic lines frame your own and let me know and I
will put it into my book of thoughts” Ajay warned his conscious and
meanwhile Soumya picked the call.
“Hello Ajay” Soumya responded
“Hey Soumya, where are you? I crossed the café but didn’t
find you” asked Ajay
“Please come back, my home after two homes to the left of
the café and I think you are on the right side” guided Soumya
“Okie, I will be there “responded Ajay and Started his bike and took a reverse turn on the road as per her guidelines.
As the streets were dark, when he took a reverse turn, the
bikes headlight which was the only light emitting thing at that moment took one
full 180 degree turn and spotted Soumya…
‘Every night I look at
the sky searching for the moon with the backdrop of stars, the sky itself fades
out to show me the glowing moon, Now the girl glows like full moon where the
entire nature has faded out , with candle lights at the café appearing like
stars…’ Ajay’s heart started blabbering,
“Shut up you idiot” Ajay told his heart
“Why should I? You
asked me to give my own lines and here I told you mine… Copyrights reserved and
you can’t use it in your book” his heart mocked at him.
“I am going,
telling three lines and coming back with my phone. That’s it” Ajay got down
from his bike.
“Hi Ajay” Soumya wished.
“I…… Oops” Ajay stumbled.
He immediately bent down, opened his already tied shoelace
and started tying them.
“I…… Oops” Ajay stumbled again.
He immediately bent down, opened his other leg shoelace and
started tying them.
“I love you I love you
I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you” Ajay’s heart was
shouting non-stop.
“Will you shut up?
What are you doing? Stop shouting I love you… I am unable to open my mouth”
Ajay told his heart
“Either you tell her
or I will tell her” Ajay’s heart replied
“I just met her, I
just saw her, how can I propose her? “ Ajay replied
“Love at first sight
baby” his heart replied
“Nonsense, there is no
such thing called love at first sight, you please stop blabbering. It’s been
ten minutes since I started tying my lace” Ajay got up.
“All ok with you?” Soumya asked
“The semi wet hair
next to your ear builds partnership with your hanging earring,
Making it the most
romantic moment to watch you
Do such things really
happen or is it just another random dream???” his heart recited and continued
“Look idiot it’s not a dream, it’s really happening!!!“
“Ajay, are you ok?”
Soumya asked
“Sou..Soumya” Ajay
stumbled
“Yes, Ajay and here is
your...” Soumya reached out to Ajay’s phone…
“Soumya you are
beautiful” Ajay slipped his tongue(Or his heart made him speak)
“Sorry??? I didn’t get
you” Soumya replied in sense of shock
“Every night I look at
the sky searching for the moon with the backdrop of stars, the sky itself fades
out to show me the glowing moon, now the entire nature has faded out to show
you to me…” Ajay (his heart) continued “I… I…”
Soumya didn’t know
what was going on, she didn’t know what to react, how to react, she was just
staring at Ajay. Ajay suddenly started.
“I am actually
thinking about something” Ajay said, taking his phone from Soumya’s hand he
continued “Thank you for returning the phone”. Ajay started back to home
bidding bye to Soumya and Hitting his heart hard for taking control over him.
On returning home, Ajay saw everyone seriously sitting and
discussing about something important. As soon as Ajay entered home everyone
approached him and started asking many questions.
“Ajju do you love someone? Do you have a girl friend? If yes
tell us, we shall go and talk to her parents” his parents enquired.
“Leave him alone now, he has just returned home, let him
take rest” Gayathri told her parents and took him upstairs to his room.
Ajay lied down on the bed and started thinking, “I don’t know
what I told you, never meant to say all those things, never spoke to any girl
but why did I talk to you like that??? Are you the girl of my dreams? I feel
that the only place I want to stay is your heart!!! In all your sorrows, all
your life I want to be with you, what have you done to me Soumya”
“The Sun is there to
shine,
Moon to look divine,
The clouds are formed
to rain,
May be this day
started to show you are not a dream
And To make me fall in
love with you again and again” Ajay penned down in his book
