When I woke up there was a message on my
mobile and it was from Pari.
“Arjun! Thank you for yesterday.. I felt
good..(I smiled) Nice work with the poem.. I liked it so much.. Good Morning”
How will Pari know that I am not that
smart with Hindi. I messaged her back.
“It is a very good morning.. Wish you the
same.. But to admit the truth.. It is all Kiran's hard work :D”
I thought for a while and messaged again.
“Look out for more surprises.. :D I liked
that smile on your face.. I would do anything for that..”
It is Friday again and I started hating
this day long ago. How will I spend time with Pari if I am not at office? I
have to search for an opportunity every time. What reason will I create this
time? I was thinking all the day but the courage I had was not enough. I need
some support. Whole day passed thinking and trying to ask Pari to come out with
me. My heart was about to ache and she solved my problem..
We were seated in a BMTC bus leaving after
office. I was trying to tell her that I don’t want to miss a valuable day in
our life but words were not coming out. Kiran and Pari started speaking about
weekend plans. It was clear that we had no plans.
‘I am going to Sunanda’s home to have some
fun tomorrow. Her parents will not be there, to give her company.’ Pari stated.
So it is impossible to meet her tomorrow.
How god? How?
How to see her tomorrow?
‘Kabir will be coming to entertain. We
will be cooking, playing, watching movies and will do lot of other stuff. It
would be fun tomorrow.’ Pari added intensity to my pain.
I am looking for a moment to burst out.
Pari don’t go.. Stay with me.. I will feel good.. Please stay and stay with
me..
‘Arjun!’ Pari was looking into my eyes.
‘Yes!’I was staring into her eyes.
‘Why don’t you people come with me?’ I
felt like shouting out with happiness.
‘But would it be okay with Kabir and
Sunanda?’ I asked her.
‘Stop behaving funny Arjun! I know you
wanted to go with her.. Stop acting.. Pari we are coming!’. She smiled at me
and I felt great.
At last I got an opportunity and I was as
happy as a monkey which got a banana to eat. I was feeling like heaven. We had
a casual talk about office stuff and had fun. At next stop, we will get down
and will see her the next morning. I don’t want to miss her even for a second.
I could feel that.. Inside my heart.. It is love for her.. Love for her..
We were about to get down.. Kiran stood up
and said, ‘will wait for you.. Go drop Pari at her room’.
‘What?’ I shouted. His eyes were shining
with happiness.
We were having a little walk and she said ‘I am leaving on
2 September Morning and my welcome party is on 7th September evening. About 45 days more
in Bangalore.’
I stopped walking and said ‘It is 44
days.. You will leave Banaglore then.. You will leave me.. And now in 5 seconds
you will leave me here..Alone! I will be longing to see you and you will be
back after 12 hours.’
She was in surprise. She smiled and said
‘Good night Arjun! See you tomorrow..’
‘See you.’ See you soon. See you Pari.
