My brother was so much excited. He is going to get married
on 10th August. He is a lucky man. He got what he wanted. He was
instructing me to stand beside him for all the rituals of marriage. It was a good
time to take advantage of him. I was demanding for gifts. I was just having
fun. I was very happy for him.
I requested everyone to attend my brother’s marriage. I
wanted mom and dad to meet Pari once. She is going to be a part of this small
family one day. My Pari, you are going to get a very good family. I believe that this will happen..Because this is my love.. My Pari..
I was looking deep into my system. Suddenly, Pari was
standing there. I was shocked. My heart was beating hard. She was standing so
close. My eyes were wide open. I realized in
few moments that I was looking at her in a weird way and then I did a reset on my brain.
I was all good now.
Pari started speaking “Wait for me.. before you leave today”
and she went back to her desk. I was in joy. I wanted to bang the table with happiness but I
couldn’t. I was in office. I will wait whole life for you Pari.
Outside the office, I was waiting for her. I waited long.. but
she wasn’t there. She must be stuck with something. I messaged her that “I am
waiting for you at CCD(CafĂ© Coffee Day)”. I was silently watching the girl and
boy who were sitting by the next table. They looked like close friends. After a
moment that boy was holding her hands and that girl smiled. I pretended as if I
saw nothing and was browsing the menu. Then I saw Pari standing infront of me and was smiling at me. She sat and asked what would I like to have. We bought some
coffee and were chatting.
She started.
“Arjun! The way you blush when some girl is around you.. It is so
much fun watching you.”
“What? I never do anything like that!”
“Come on Arjun! I have seen it many times.”
After a lot of analysis and discussion, I have to agree
with her. After all, that is how a boy makes a girl smile, we just have to agree with her. We were laughing loud over our discussion. It was so much fun. I
dropped her at place and went back to my room. It was so refreshing. I felt as if the
day has started just now. Like every time, Kiran was having fun teasing me. I started
teasing him back.
“Kiran! Are you jealous because Monica is not here. So that
you are not able to spend some time together.”
Just before I went to sleep. A question popped my head. I have to
get it cleared tomorrow. It was “”Why did Pari ask me to wait for her?”
