Life Is Beautiful - 16 - Pre Final

She has never asked me anything since we started talking and our bond (couldn’t name the relationship!) was 6 months old as of now. So I don’t want her to get disappointed. I know a little Trichy as well and so I prepared myself and said, “I will meet you by 5 PM”

She replied, “Reallyyyyyy” with so much of excitation. I said “Yes at Sangeethas, Trichy!” She was happy with that and said, “Sure!” and hung up the call.

I got up from my bed, got ready within an hour with all those gifts I had for her for the past 4 years and took the diary I wrote about Aaradhana. Packed everything and started to Trichy by 1:30 PM.

It was exactly 5:15 PM and I was late by 15 minutes! I was little worried but she was late as well! She reached by 5:30 PM. I guess girls always come late, making guys wait – whatever I don’t want to say such things and spoil her mood!

She was still the same – with a tender face and a lovely smile. I even forgot to smile by just staring at her. We sat up in a table opposite to each other near to the flowing water screen; she was much concerned about menu card and I too but just wanted to make that waiter leave my privacy! She ordered for me and he left. 

She started, “I never knew I will miss you this much bad. I know, I have no rights to call you here. I know, you would have really felt very bad when I ignored you. But, why are you doing everything for me? Do I mean that much to you?”

I replied, “No, I owe many. I couldn’t give my love to you still. I still owe my Life to you”

It was a complete silence of 5 minutes and finally she wanted to make things normal. She asked for my mobile phone and I gave mine. “No games in it!?”

I wonder how in earth only girls look for games even in a smartphone other than its features! I replied, “I don’t have time to play them!”

She returned and suddenly asked, “You said a lot of things about Priya, right?”

I was taken back with hers. It was full of wit when she asked it and I don’t know how to react. I fumbled and finally said, “Yeah why?”

“Girls are much of possessive kind, you know? I don’t want you to have any other friend who is a girl. So I approached some of your new college class mates and enquired about Priya!”

“Ha… Ha… Ha... You could have told me that na? I would have made you both friends!”

She was much serious now and said, “Can you? Really? Have you seen Priya!?”

“Hey… She is my only friend there. I know her. She too does and Whats the doubt in it?”

She replied straight and confident, “Priya doesn’t exist!”

“What the hell? How can you say a person not to be in earth?” I could not control my temper and I know I would be looking furious.

She calmed me down and said, “Can you prove it?”

I took my mobile and showed her number, “It may be hers, or definitely her fathers. Give it a try!” I was pretty confident in that but she remained very calm and asked me to hear her for five minutes. I calmed down and had a glass of water
