“That’s the reason why you dint attend the marriage. You
want me to believe that?” she winked.
“Even I don’t want to say that reason. But, I have never
practiced speaking lies!” winked back.
“Don’t act too smart!
Better say the real cause!” little higher tone this time.
Took her words very lightly and said “Shall we save that
for the final episode? And also our last episode completed with someone called
Sahana! Remember?” with a sparkle.
She said “Arghhhh… how much will you save it for the
final episode? I guess your final episode itself will run for 1000 words. But
Sahana is sweet right?” started with a frustration, continued with an attempt
of joke making and ended with a question.
“I know her and know how sweet she is! Back to her story
hearing posture!” with a rude smile and possessiveness spilled all over!
She never opposed and let me start again!
There were really very less people whom I consider my own
and one among them would be Sahana. Our relationship has seen the technological
development too, from Orkut scraps, Gtalk Chats – Gmail Chats and till Facebook
and even Text messages but not so long calls. Our chats would usually run 1000
lines minimum and if compiled could get you a book sized 5 times more than the
Oxford English dictionary!
I never knew her before I join and it was literally the same
when I left the college. We both got placed together in the same company, but
her brilliance made herself to get placed alone in another company too. I was
totally against that not because she has grabbed someone else’s chance but she
would stay away from me. I realised late, that she was right in choosing the
other coz she joined – earned a little earlier and I am still waiting for my
DOJ (Date of Joining)! Whatever, I have never met her again after she joined
there and it was more than 4 months. With her job, she was excited, happy and I
have no other choice other than accepting that.
She was asking, in fact instructing me to be there at another
friend’s family function the next day. I said ok but thought it would be really
awkward to be there with a month beard and saddened face.
2nd September 2011
Trimmed a bit, borrowed a bike and started for the marriage.
I have never been to that function hall but have been to that locality earlier.
I gave up searching and stopped to a roadside shop and got my route cleared.
When I started the bike again, I saw her not Sahana but her best friend –
Anjana. She was the one whom I met exactly four years and four days ago – the
first one I met in my college. It would be really faulty to say that she was
still not interesting but I am forced to say so coz someone else would feel
bad! I know she would be coming to that function and it could mean anything to
meet her up on the way, like – Fate, just met or whatever. But to me, she
remembered the beginning of something great again after something has ended up
not so well.
There would be certainly someone in everyone’s life to who
you can just say anything you wish to without hesitation. Anjana is such a kind
of girl for me and one of my best friends from college life (Though she had
someone to be called the bestest, I don’t mind! :P)
We both were the first to be among our friends to be at the
function hall. It’s quite a long gap we both met and so had at least something
to speak about till the function starts.
With a pink salwar and a much brighter smile Sahana came in
walking. She was not the same who I never wanted to forgive, now with improved
chubby cheeks and shortened hair that you could fall for in the first place. I
had some reasons why I won’t fall for her in first place - I knew her, I had a
first love and I am committed now too! Moreover, I had a heavy heart which
certainly meant her more to me than the external appearance and she would
remain as the definition of an emotion to me. I wanted to hug her tightly and
say ‘I missed you’.
Is this the Anjana effect?
Beginning of something? I don’t want to think beyond that!
Minute of Madness!
