Born To Write

I made a serious eye contact with him. He looked into my eyes. Yes! My expectation was wrong . Something else happened.

“What?”

“She didn’t reject me”, He said.

“What !”, I growled almost unable to believe. If one sentimental dialogue uttered by me could change her decision, then I could declare myself as another Baba, who shall be worshipped by several people.

“Can you please elaborate…don’t throw me into suspense”, I said enthusiastically.

“ I went to meet her in that room. She was seated on a bench”, Aakash said.

“Then I stopped near her bench and folded my hands to listen to what she says”

“Moron! Why did you fold your hands??..is she a principal or what?”, I said unable to digest his blunder.

“Dude! You were the one who asked me to be stiff “

I controlled my giggle and felt partially sad for him.

“Stiffness doesn’t refer to fold your hands and salute to her…you could have marched even”, I scowled sarcastically.

“Dude! Don’t interrupt..”, he exclaimed.

“She then turned to me and signalled to sit beside her. I gathered enough courage and placed my ‘Marasmus’ body on the bench, five inches away from hers’”

“Holy shit! That’s awsome..ah what happened next??”, I said.

“You know what! Gandhi, I can still feel the cozy air that existed around her body..the aroma of her…wow!!!..”, Aakash closed his eyes dramatically and changed his posture to Lord Vishnu’s and continued describing.

“Wow! What a feeling..you must experience this atleast once in life”

I particularly didn’t feel anything like that. Aakash’s head was directed towards three rooms , out of which two were Washrooms and the rest was a store room. Even If any aroma existed on him, it would have definitely vanished out by the ‘aroma’ of the washrooms.

“Stop describing your feelings! I had been listening to them from many days..come to the point asshole”, I roared.

“Ah! Then listen to the conversation between us:

Keerthi: Is today your birthday?

Aakash: Yes! Keerthi, I was coming to…talk to you..but

Keerthi: Gandhi told me..don’t worry! Do you really like me??

Aakash: (underwent a sudden feeling of fear and franticness)..Yea! I do

Keerthi: I had been watching you since few years, Aakash! I thought of asking you to get away from my life many times..but I understood that..

Aakash: (Already tear glands started ejecting tears which reached the eyeballs)

Keerthi: I understood that your love is true!

Aakash:( shook the bench out of joy and was ready to dance)

Keerthi: Aakash don’t get too excited. I just said that your love is true. That’s not everything.

Aakash: (reset the bench and resigned his dance)..then what else should I consider??

Keerthi: The most important thing!!! My feelings on you.

Aakash: So, you have zero feelings on me??

Keerthi: to be frank, I have only fifteen percent feelings on you…which even can’t turn our relation into friendship!

Aakash: I have 200% feelings on you, so 200+15(your feelings)/2 = more than 100%. So, we can get into a relation( stupid logics!!)

Keerthi: (laughed) See! this idiotic mentality is making me think of you sometimes, atleast. I can give you an offer, utilize it if you want to get into a relaion with me.

Aakash: Offer???? Any festive season or what??

Keerthi: Stupid! Listen…this is the last day of our school, we cant meet afterwards..can you sense that??

Aakash: (sadly) yea

Keerthi: I’ll give you ten chances. So, from these , if you can make me fall for you..then ours will be a relation.

Aakash:(remembers a latest game show with same no. of chances,on the t.v)..So, where should I meet you?.. will you inform me???

Keerthi: That’s your lookout. I’ll start informing you from the fourth chance. Until then, keep trying your luck.

Aakash: Are you serious??...??..

Keerthi: A very Happy Birthday, Aakash!!

Aakash: Can you come to Bakers ‘q’??

Keerthi: Left by that time.

Aakash: (Wtf is this Girl??)”

“Shit!! This is nothing but deep shit!!”, I shouted drastically, unable to catch her point in the insane offer.

“But, I’m going to try my luck out”, Aakash said firmly.

“Good luck! N don’t expect me to be a part of this outrageous act”

“You must be with me!!..otherwise I’m goanna drop”, he said out of anger..his eyes conveying an impeccable request to me.

“ I need some time”, I said slowly trying to give him a hope.

“Everyone needs time..Keerthi..you…my father…I’m the only jobless bastard!!”, saying this he pushed me and proceeded into one of those three rooms.
