ArjunPari#38 Wednesday 03July2013 I am ready to hear an answer, how harsh it may be to my heart.. I am ready.!

Yesterday, the clouds were clear in my love story. I was glad Kiran knew it and now I have nothing to hide. I was feeling infinitely energetic, even if it's known to Pari, I am ready to hear an answer, how harsh it may be to my heart. I have decided that I will not let her go away and I will give her some more time to know more about me. What Kiran says is that the more you know about each, the closer will you get. To warn, he said.. It may also lead to problems like misunderstandings and quarrels. But this is me, who will never let such things to conquer my life. Confidence increased and faith in love too.

Today we have to finish our work faster and have to meet Mounica in the evening. We have planned to have dinner together today. I and Kiran were in a rush. Pari and Neha were interrupting us - for fun. All day in office was spent with my PC and my eyes were exhausted. I was waiting for Kiran at the entrance of my office. Then, Pari was passing me.. She was returning after a coffee break. She smiled at me. My brain came out of programs,code all other stuff and it was fresh. I was feeling good now. They waved a bye to me. And the day started in real.

Kiran went to washroom, washed his face and was combing his hair. I was looking at him with a smile.

'It is not your marriage, we are going to!' I joked.

‘I wanted to look good to my Mounica darling.' He laughed.

'You Idiot. How many girl friends will you want? Kavitha.. Mounica..' He was laughing out loud.

'I am just joking brother. And..' he paused 'I am not yet sure about Kavitha as you are sure about Pari' he grinned. I just listened to what he was saying and wondering what importance does Kavitha have in his life. I have ever seen him having fun with girls but have never seen him fall for one. Is it Kavitha? If not why is he too much interested in her. How to make this clear for me?

We were at Rajadhani after buying a lot of things for marriage. Madhu Uncle, Aunt and Ravi brother were still searching for some stuff and we were waiting for them. Kiran got a call, he went out for answering it.

'I heard about Pari. Kiran said about it!' Mounica admitted.

I smiled and said 'I am glad you knew. I would have told you before that fellow, but he is always a step ahead.' I started explaining how all this happened to me. Mounica enjoyed it. I could see that she wanted to hear more. It was fun thinking about Pari when she is not near. I narrated all my story.

'Who is this Kavitha?' She asked.

'It is his child hood friend who is back after years. They spent hours on phone messaging and calling each other.' I explained and asked her 'How do you know her?' her eyes were calm and she answered 'The call he got now..' She paused.. 'It’s her'. I was looking at her and her family was there now. Kiran joined us after 5 minutes.

Mounica started narrating my story to her family. They were teasing me for that and I was blushing. Expressions of Mounica were different after Pari and Kavitha entered into the discussion. Is she happy for us or something was wrong! Is she feeling bad because our friend ship will be threatened because of our new friends?

There was nothing which ever interrupted or caused problem in our friendship. Is she having fear of losing us? I want to assure her that nothing like that existed and will never exist. I wanted to apologize that I did not reach her in the past few days and I did. She just replied with a smile and I felt good. But something else existed, that I was curious to know. What was that? What?

ArjunPari#37 Tuesday 02July2013 Kiran knows everything.. My God father..!! My love guru..

My eyes were swollen. I did not sleep well last night after trying hard. Everyone in room was rewinding yesterday's fall from bed and was laughing at me. The same happened in office, Kiran also said to my Project lead about my fall, when he was curious about my swollen eyes. Everyone was curious why I spoiled my sleep yesterday. Shiva and Pari were making stories on my dreams.

Shiva started 'He was walking on a road. It was too dark. It was calm and romantic.' Everyone started laughing at me and he continued. 'And then suddenly a beautiful girl, say Deepika Padukoney' I was smiling and he added more spices to the story 'Deepika came running towards him. She was screaming for help and you got hold of her. You assured her that you would help her.'

'What?' I shouted on Shiva and was laughing. I showed my muscles as if I resembled Prabhas (Telugu actor). Everyone was laughing at my funny behavior and Pari continued the script of my dream. She was almost staring into my eyes to narrate the story and my heart, it was uncontrollable. Why does it beat faster when such things happen? And my eyes they started speaking my feelings. I was trying to hide my feelings and was listening to her.

'And then few people.. sorry rowdies(bad guys) were there. Arjun, single handedly was fighting with them.'

'Why was I fighting with single hand when I have two?' I enquired and everyone was smiling at that question.

Pari smiled and answered 'You are having Deepika's hand in other' They laughed again.. 'And later, every bad guy was screaming for help. You took Deepika's hand and ran into a station. You both boarded a train which leaves to Chennai.' Everyone started singing and laughing..

“I saw throw your hands up

And touch the sky ay ay **?

Everybody, move your body

There is no party like a party in Chennai”

(Chennai Express theme song**)

The day went with jokes and pranks on me. It was coffee break, I was overdosed with laughter, the pain in my heart, the real reason for my sleeplessness surrounded my brain. I suddenly got up and went into smoking zone. I do not know what they were feeling back in canteen.

The thoughts were surrounding me. She said a 'Yes' in my dream. She said a 'No' in my dream. Whatever she will say to me, it will surely bring pain to my heart. I was less confident getting a 'Yes'. I was only thinking how to handle a 'No'. The night passed with horrible dreams. My heart was beating faster disturbing every part of my body. I was so deep into my thoughts that I did not see Kiran standing beside me. I realized when he placed his arm on my shoulder. The words he spoke shocked me.

'Arjun! Stop worrying about Pari..' I stared into his eyes , my eyes were red. 'I know everything!! I know you like Pari and you are planning to express it.' My eyes were speaking and they asked for a reason. 'Be seated!' he started from beginning 'I started suspecting this when you said that you were dreaming of Parineeti Chopra. I knew that you never watched her movies. I was also sure that you were not even aware how she looks. I have also observed that you were speaking to a girl, which I have never seen before. You go to a game, go to lunch, go to breakfast leaving me alone.. with her!! Why will I not know? I came to know that something wrong was going on. I confirmed this, when you were taking out her name last night in dreams.' I was surprised to listen all that. I sat there silent.

And Kiran started assuring me..

“She will not say a 'Yes' now.” I was staring him in disappointment  “Don't worry she will also not say a 'No'. I think she likes you and as far as I know she is interested in you too. But I think you should take more time. Give her some more time, everything will be alright. Do not freak yourself.” He left me there and when I was back… I was back!!

The day went on with all humor caused by my swollen eyes and the clouds were clear. Thanks to you my buddy, Kiran..
