It was early in the morning.Sunlight was dull and dew was just lifting. Pari and Sunanda were walking with me to the park which we visited last time. Sunanda happened to be with her as it was weekend. Pari would feel much better if she was there. I was glad! A surprise was waiting for Pari at the park. It was just a morning walk for her!
We reached! Shiva said 'Hi' to Sunanda. Pari was inquiring about Kiran and I was assuring her that she will see him soon. I played my favorite song on my mobile with low volume. She was smiling. We were seated at a bench under a tree with lot of pink blossoms. Blossoms and dew drops were falling down. I stood up hesitatingly and bent down on my knees. She was wondering what I was about to do. In a moment, I think she realized. She insisted me to sit back! I sat back.
Ha! I have to speak! There was silence for few minutes and I did it!
"Pari!Please accept my love!Be my lifetime partner!" I closed my eyes.
I practiced something and something else came out.
"Pari!Please accept my love!It would be great pleasure having you in my life!"
They were almost same. My eyes were still closed! I was waiting for Pari's response. It was long, I couldn't wait and I opened my eyes. Pari was smiling. She was smiling!
Shiva started clapping and Kiran was shouting with happiness while he was descending the tree. Pari saw him getting down and got surprised.
"Like a monkey!" She laughed at Kiran
"Giving life for my friend's love! Can't you see?" Kiran said and we were all laughing.
Pari was speaking to Sunanda with eyes and Sunanda's smile became deeper.. After that Pari held my hand. I was surprised and excited. Atlast I am holding her hands! She's mine. This is her answer! Destination milestone reached! Now it is really my love story!
Shiva has captured the moments on his camera. There would be a day in future when we will be looking at these pictures and would be smiling at each other. This is what I wanted! And this is what I have got!

I feel delighted when I see Pari wearing her white dress. But today, I felt more delightful! She was wearing the same dress but a different dupatta. The dupatta was multi colored one and was complimenting well with it. That was the item delivered to her today. She was happily wearing it. She got many compliments today. Yesterday she was showing off her chocolates. Today! It was different! I guess she was enjoying being more beautiful!
When were gathered for lunch, the discussion was all about dupatta. Neha and Mahita were posing all possible questions on it. Where did you buy? How much? How did you end up having such good taste? Oh ! I am jealous! Why doesn't my boy friend have such good taste? I didn't understand if they were teasing me or giving me a compliment!
Pari was walking out of office along with me and Kiran.
She said "Its very beautiful!Thank you so much Arjun!" I smiled and she blushed.
It was a rear scene..seeing Pari blush! She really likes that dupatta!
Kiran was almost shocked and started teasing her "Pari! Your cheeks turned red!Ah!You are blushing!"
She hit Kiran's head with her hand bag. It was a special moment, a milestone of my love story. I was remembering it over and over, I smiled like a mad person till the I ended the day saying good night to Monica. She had fun listening about all the things happening lately.
-Arjun Krishna
We were gathered for lunch. Pari unwrapped a chocolate and ate it. Kiran asked for one but she rejected saying "These belong to only me!" Kiran and others were teasing her. Mahitha grabbed one and she snatched it back.
Whole day she was eating chocolates and teasing everyone that they don't have nay. Her smile! I will remember for lifetime! It felt like she was the only one who received a basket of chocolates in the whole world.
We were going back from office and were seated in a bus.
"Arjun! I want more chocolates!" She asked me like a child.
I was shocked, Did she eat all of those chocolates?
Kiran countered her "Buy yourself! Next time Arjun will buy for me!". It looked like two girls were fighting for me.
"Kiran! Stay silent!" "Arjun! I finished those!"
"What?" Now I was shocked.
"Hm! I ate all!" She smiled. This time it wasn't Kiran who countered her. It was me.
"Girls do eat a lot! How will a guy afford feeding them?" She opened her eyes wide trying to scare me. We laughed a lot.
-Arjun Krishna
We were having lunch and Pari was seated beside me. I know many secrets of Pari now! Let's have fun with Pari today and I started.
"Pari! Didn't you have lot of night outs during college days?" Pari was looking at me as she didn't understand.
Kiran interrupted saying "I never slept a day before exams! heavy night outs!"
I countered Pari "Our study night outs are completely different to the Pari's night outs!"
Pari understood that I was teasing her. She was denieing and inturn making fun of me along with Kiran. Whole day whenever I saw her. I was teasing her using the secret only I knew. I blackmailed her telling if she doesn't want me to tell it to anyone, she has to buy me dinner. She agreed to it.
We were leaving from office! I was walking out and Pari came running towards me and asked "Arjun! What's today's special?"
"What?" I inquired.
She asked again "I mean! Is there anything special today?"
"Oh! You didn't realize it yet!"
"What?" She thought for a moment and "Oh No! Teasing..aah! You teased me so much today!"
"I can tease you whole life! Is it fun?" I asked her and she smiled. We went back.
I was waiting at Pari's building for her to come out. She was there.
"Pari! Let's have a walk and then we will go for dinner!"I insisted her and she said ok.
"So today we will have two more things!" I smiled.
"Oh! walk and dinner!" She responded.
"Hmm Yes!" I said.
"Arjun! I heard you were very famous during college days. I also heard that you got many love proposals?"She started and I almost blushed. "Hm! I had good grades and I was son of a professor. I was famous! Also I am a bit handsome!don't you think?" I asked her.
"I don't think so!" She laughed out and started teasing me. "I can also tease you! I took Kiran's help!" She declared happily and we laughed.
Later we had dinner. Pari was funny as usual and we dispersed after that.
-Arjun Krishna
Today's Item was delivered to Pari in the morning! After receiving it Pari messaged me "My day got brightened up! Thank You Arjun!" And with that my day brightened up!
Whenever we saw each other at office. We smiled at each other. The feel held in these smiles was amazing! Pari insisted me to drop her and we were walking there. She asked curiously "So Arjun! Is this what you planned for next few days?".
"No! I answered!" I was smiling and continued in a complaining mode "They are not just any gifts Pari? What's important about these tings is how much I feel for you?". She laughed out and agreed with me. She left me saying "See you everyday Arjun!" I stood there for a moment and left holding a smile.
The item delivered to Pari was a bunch of pink roses beautifully wrapped and with a note.
The note was "Pari! Actually I would have chosen red roses but I knew that your smile gets deeper when you see pink ones!Have a good day!" - Arjun
Everyone was so much tired after that tour. We were back and were still not out of that feel. Today was the day Pari will know why I love her and how I will love her. The plan is a surprise to her. Kiran, Shiva, Neha and Mahitha were eager to help me after they heard what Pari feels about me. They were sure that she will accept me soon. I feel same these days.
When we like someone, we have to express it without any expectations. So today is the day, Pari will know more about my feelings. I was excited! I spent more than hour to finish my letter. A love letter must be beautifully presented! Although it may be called a love letter or not! Its is showing my love to her..so lets call it a love letter! So, I selected a beautiful envelope which Pari would like! I sealed it so that my naughty friends wont read it.
I handed it over to Neha. She cleverly dropped it in Pari's bag. When will Pari see it? I was anxious about it and Pari didn't even see it until the end of the day. We reached our rooms and I was thinking to tell her now! Else my plan would be ruined!And then Pari messaged me " I am looking forward to give you an answer! Let me see how you will boost my confidence" Did She say a yes to me or..? Anyway I was at ease now.
Letter to Pari:
Pari!
You are a very unique person! I like you! The question you have is whether we are made for each other! We have few more days left in Bangalore to find answer for that! Before you leave this place. I will try my best for you to find your answer. I hope you enjoy the next few days. And please don't get angry if you dislike anything!
And if you ask me the question which you have? If we are made for each other! I don't know the answer and I don't want to know. For me, what matters is whether we can spend life together smiling or not and the answer is Yes! We sure can! Whatever comes our way, your smile and my love can solve it easily.
I have liked your smile and then loved it..loving it and will love it more..first time when I saw you in a bus, It was your smile which caught my attention and then this whole thing started. Keep smiling Pari! I will be always there to feel it, watch it and to protect it! No matter what!
See you Everyday!
Arjun
We were traveling back to Bangalore after having very good time in our tour. Few were sleeping and few weren't. Neha and Mahitha were capturing those sleeping faces. Kiran and I were having fun watching them.
After that Kiran started complaining about me "Whole Day!This man behaved like I never existed!". They were curious.
Today while we were roaming in a tourist spot. We divided into groups. Me, Pari, Kiran, Kabeer and Sunanda were a group. So they were more curious what happened to Kiran.
Kiran Continued "We were moving around and suddenly I came to realize that Kabeer and Sunanda were missing. I was looking for them and then Pari confirmed me that they were still at the spot which we previously visited. It felt like I wasn't there. Arjun was like Pari! photo!Pari!this!Pari! that! He didn't bother about me and the worst part was Pari also behaved same with me. After few minutes these two were also missing and I wandered alone!"
Thank god! Pari was asleep. Else Kiran would have got punishment again. Actually the truth was, Pari was having fun making Kiran her servant. He couldn't take it any more and he escaped. Kiran was just giving us some time together. He went alone and did some shopping for Monica.
While we were speaking, remembering these three days, memories we made.. I got a good idea to implement. I discussed it with them and they supported me! What I want to do is to make Pari happy. These few days we spend in Bangalore together! I am going to make them memorable for Pari! I am going to show her, how the life would be with me. I will make things clear for her. I will not waste time anymore!Be ready! Dear Pari!
-Arjun Krishna
We visited lot of tourist places today! Pari made me laugh a lot! She was making funny faces for pictures and Kiran was commenting her. We sang songs during our journey from place to place. Frankly! Pari isn't good at singing. I said the same to her. She warned me! If I tease her like that she will punish me just like she punished Kiran. I pretended as if I was scared. Honestly! I wanted to see how it feels being Pari's servant. Haha!
Pari was trying earrings at a stall. And I was judging them. She was laughing at my comparisons. I was being funny. And then she tried a pair. They were peacock feather colored. Then I said instantly "Oh! these ear rings became beautiful after you wore them!" She smiled and bought them. Kabeer and Sunanda were having good time here.
At the end of this beautiful day, everyone was still energetic. Kabeer was seated next to me and Kiran on other side of Kabeer. We were having a good chat. Kiran was teasing him "You guy's aren't married yet! Keep control on your romance in front of us!". He smiled and said "We were just taking pictures! that's all!"
Kabeer and I were whispering to each other. I asked Kabeer "I was curious how you proposed her?". He replied "I didn't!She did it!". "What?" I was surprised!
Then again I got curious and asked him "Then how did you decide that it's only her?".
"There should be two different but similar people in a relation ship to make it beautiful. Just like two similar and different colors, when mixed blend with each other to give a beautiful color. Due to some situations, I came to realize that she is my color. I am happy with her. I became a better person with her." That is what Kabeer said!
Kabeer's philosophy was good. When two persons become a couple, it has to become a beautiful relationship! I am looking forward for a beautiful relationship with Pari..Pari..my color!
When I was going back to my room. Kabeer called me back to have a walk. He wanted to tell me something! And he did!
"I think Pari really likes you!I never saw her speak Telugu like that. In last few days she became very good at it! She has been taking classes from Sunanda and Kavitha. What I say is not to get discouraged! All the best buddy!"
After hearing that I felt delighted. I can feel the excitement and it is called love! Love!
-Arjun Krishna
I am so excited! We started our 3 day long tour today. Pari, me and others ..only fun..three days! It was early morning when we started. Me and Kiran were seated beside each other. Pari came to us and ordered Kiran to go aside like he is her servant and sat beside me! I was surprised and wondering what exactly is happening here! Kiran was standing and Pari shouted at him "Why didn't you tell to Arjun! Tell him now!" Kiran obeyed her and told me "Pari is my boss for these three days! I am her servant! That was her reward!" He was almost crying.
"Good Servant!" She complimented Kiran and ordered him "Enough now! Go and sit in some other corner!" Everyone was laughing at him!
We both listened songs for some time. Played pranks at each other and spoke about many other things. And then we arrived at the tour's first destination.
She shouted for Kiran. She handed over her bag to Kiran and ordered him to follow her. They both were entertaining us and we were having fun watching them. She was making him take her pictures and she was making funny faces. We captured funny pictures of those both dong this act. I blackmailed Kiran that I will send those pictures to Monica.It was fun!
We did river rafting! Everyone shouted out with happiness. Pari, was more powered up than usual. And the climate was a plus point, it was pleasant. We competed with others. Pushed Kiran to still water. Swimmed. Took lot of photographs. At the end of the day we were exhausted and hungry.
We went to our rooms and hurried up for dinner. We were seated for dinner. I never saw these people so hungry, they were starving till that point and me too. No one was speaking and only eating. After we finished we went back to our rooms.
Kabeer(Sunanda's fiance) was seated next to me. We were browsing through all pictures captured today.. He started the conversation.
"Arjun! I heard you drive well! Then why didn't you drive us here?" I smiled and answered him.
"I don't want to get tired. Very few days are left before Pari leaves to Delhi! Finally I got to spend time with Pari! So I will fully utilize it." He laughed. Kiran was surprised seeing me speak so frankly.
I was surprised too. And I realized that I have changed a lot these days and I like this change.! Am glad Pari brought these good changes to my life.
-Arjun Krishna
I was cooking dinner for us. Kiran joined me and started speaking.
"Arjun! Pari came to me and asked to play yesterdays game again. She changed the rule to ask the other's personal question. I agreed and we started. This time she sounded dangerous. Still, because its my personal question I could answer easily and I didn't go back."
I laughed at him and told him that I helped her. He scolded me and I asked him to continue. I was curious how Pari succeeded. He continued.
"With what name do Arjun's mother call you when she's teasing you?
I didn't want to answer but I did!"
My mom calls him 'Bus Driver' when she's teasing him. He continued to next one.
"How many back logs did you have while bachelor's?
I didn't want to answer again.But I did!"
He had three. My mom took care of him later so none after that! Then he continued.
"She asked similar questions. She wanted to take full scale revenge for yesterday.
How may times I was kicked out of classroom?
How many times aunt caught me skipping classes?
She made me answer all those silly questions!"
He did many silly things and was caught by one or the other. He knew the answer but not exactly for the last question but couldn't answer because he didn't want to! When I heard that question I laughed out at him. He was scolding me and complained that everyone laughed at him just like this when Pari revealed the answer to others.
The question was " How many times did Monica say 'I love you' to Kiran?"
He answered correctly saying None and the final question was "How many times did Monica say I love you to me?"
He answered it with 'None' because he didn't want to answer it. This was the question which failed Kiran. No one even counted how many times.. That was all fun back in college days.
"What was her reward as u lost?" I asked him.
"Now that' a secret between me and Pari!" He didn't reveal. What was it?
-Arjun Krishna
"See Arjun! I will let you know what Pari exactly feels about you by the end of the day!" Kiran challenged me and went to work. I didn't take it seriously. I thought he was just joking around like always.
Pari came to my desk and requested me to go out with her for few minutes. I smiled and followed her. We were standing in balcony with a cup of coffee.
She started inquiring about Monica. I explained her right from beginning. She was very curious. I wondered why she was too much interested.
I was watching news in TV. Kiran interrupted saying. 'I did it dude!' I was disinterested in him right then. "What did you do?" I asked him.
He was speaking broken words"I..now..know..what..Pari feels about you?".
"What?" I was surprised! Now I was interested in him.
Kiran was taking advantage "I will explain from beginning."
"No need. Just tell me the exact thing!" I begged him to skip but he didn't.
"I challenged Pari with a game." Kiran said.
"A game?" I asked
"Yes! A game! That game was something like truth and dare. In this game we asked each other a personal question. The person who fails to answer that question will do a task for the winner. Let me give you an example.
"Kiran" I shouted. "Don't drag the story any more."
"Yes! I will drag!" He declared. He had the upper hand. I listened patiently.
For example the question was "Who is my best friend?" She failed. She gave wrong answer to this question. That's why she suddenly got curious about Monica.
"We asked each other similar questions but she failed at this one. She answered Monica where as it was you. Now Monica is my girl friend! As she failed, I asked her to answer another question as my reward! And it was "What do you feel about Arjun!""
I was listening carefully. He ended the conversation saying she said a lot of good things about you. That is why she likes you. He acted as if he was going out. He made me beg and then he sent an audio file to me and left.
I listened to the audio file and after that I was overwhelmed with joy. It was what Pari feels about me. Half of the conversation was rejecting to speak about it. And then she spoke about me.
"Haa! Yes! I like Arjun!" Kiran insisted to explain reason and then she explained.
"There are lot of reasons why I like Arjun! Hmm ! Hah!
When I am happy or when am sad or when am doubtful, I approach my dad to share those feelings..Arjun..He feels comfortable just like him..as joyful as him..as supporting as him..as influential as him..as criticizing as him..hah.."
These were feelings of my Pari..She likes me..She just needs time to confirm that I am the destined one for her. I will prove it soon. I hope she comes to me soon.
-Arjun Krishna
I was waiting for Rakesh at the bus stop. Kiran joined me. Pari was still working. Rakesh made us wait for 30 minutes. He came on his bike and parked it aside. Kiran didn't want to interfere so he was listening to songs with his earphones.
Rakesh started speaking "See Arjun brother, we should come to an understanding first!".
I asked what he was speaking about. He smiled and said "As if you are not aware?"
"Come straight to the point!" I asked him and he replied "Ok as u wish!It's about Pari!"
My eyes opened wide and anger burst into my head. "Listen bro!" he continued "I have known her from long time!". "So what?" I shouted on him. "I feel like we are destined. She rejected me once, still i got another chance like this! You should stay away from her!" He ordered me. "What?" I was more angry on him. "See bro..." He continued and I stopped him saying that "Don't call me bro!". He said "Ok arjun..you both..it will never work out.." I felt that it was enough and I started shouting for real "U ..stay away from Pari..she is my.." I tried again hardly to say those words out "Pari is my..". He laughed on me.
I remembered that Pari never said 'i love you' to me or atleast confirmed that she will hold my hand for this life. It added pain. I became silent.
Kiran entered and he made Rakesh sit beside him. He was speaking to him and asked me to relax. But I was in pain..I was in anger..I want to kick this guy out of my sight..
Kiran was speaking with care and I was listening. Rakesh the truth is that they like each other and you really should stay away from them! Kiran smiled.
Rakesh laughed out and said "Am asking Arjun to stay away..i don't want to give up again!"
"Rakesh! that's your problem now!Pari will never let u come into her life." Kiran assured him. He laughed again and said "Ok I understand. If u are not co operating I will find other way to have her!". He is really selfish! Doesn't he care about my feelings?
Kiran got angry. Kiran was holding his collar tightly and I was trying to stop him. Pari appeared of no where.. everyone's position was reset in few fractions of a second. We were acting as if nothing happened.
Pari looked straight into Rakesh's eyes and said "Rakesh..I rejected u once..I mean it..Its not going to change..I don't like you as a partner..".
Rakesh replied "Looks like u know everything!"
She didn't respond and said "Stay away from Arjun! I wont let you hurt him!". I felt good! very good! She left Rakesh there and joined us. We started, as the bus was there. Kiran told me later that she was listening to our conversation through phone.
My Pari kicked him out of my life! My Pari! Am so happy I feel like dancing!
-Arjun Krishna
I did not sleep well. How to make Pari smile in this situation? She did not want me to speak yesterday. She must be feeling bad about our behaviour yesterday. Shall I call her? Will she call me? Oh Pari! I would like to see your smile. I was not concentrating on my breakfast. Kiran was teasing me. He took my mobile when I was not looking and sent a message to Pari. I was not aware about that. I understood when I got a reply from Pari.
Message sent by Kiran was "I wanted to stop Rakesh from speaking bad about you!"
She knew it wasn't me. Her reply was "Kiran! I know that!"
"Pari! How did you know it wasn't me?" I was curious and I replied back.
"Arjun! You should be wondering right now whether to call or not? As I insisted you not to speak yesterday!"
And that was what I was thinking! I was feeling a lot better now! A lot better!
We were all having lunch in office cafeteria. Rakesh was also there. No one was speaking. Asusual, Kiran broke the silence. Mahita was gaining weight these days and he was teasing her. I wanted to speak to Pari. I wanted to make sure that her smile was back.
I was working at my desk and it was so much boring today. Pari was at my desk and asked me to go out with her for a small break. We were walking slowly.
"Arjun! Sorry for yesterday!I was angry seeing people fight because of me!" she started.
"No Pari! I am sorry! I should have kicked that guy secretly without letting you know!You wouldn't have felt bad!" She smiled! Oh great! Looked like I did it already! She smiled!
"Arjun! There is a reason why I rejected him?"I interrupted her saying "I know you Pari! You need not tell me about it!"
"Listen to me Arjun!" She insisted and continued "I feel he is a bit selfish. He is a caring person but I didn't like that in him. It might be a good or bad thing but I don't like it in him. That's y!" That means am not as selfish as him! Bells are ringing in my heart!
"Oh! that fellow deserved a rejection!" I sounded jealous and was smiling. She laughed out.
"Arjun! Now I know how to make you laugh!"She continued, she made funny expressions and cursed Rakesh. I was feeling delighted and laughed so much. We were laughing loud together. I was thinking back then, how to make her smile and here she is making me smile..My Pari..
-Arjun Krishna
We had a lunch plan to discuss about the tour for next week. It would be three day long tour.. I am looking forward to spend that precious time with Pari. Who knows when would be the next time we meet each other again after she leaves to Delhi.
Rakesh was already there before I reached along with Pari and Kiran. I was about to sit beside Pari, Kiran was sitting on the other side, Rakesh suddenly pushed the chair and sat beside her. I smiled at him but he did not smile back. His expression was strange. Then I sat opposite to Pari. Pari's eyes! Her eyes speak more clearly than she does!
We were having fun with our discussion and smiles were spreading. Par and Kiran were entertaining us. They were fighting with each other and we were laughing at them. Through out the whole conversation, I felt that something was wrong with Rakesh. He sounded like he was angry. I ignored him. We decided on everything.
We were about to leave and were all standing outside the restaurant.
Rakesh was speaking to me "Arjun! Hows it going with Pari?".
I dint like his way of asking. His tone was low and others couldn't hear him.
"Great!We are happy!" I replied and his expression was worse now!
"Listen to me Arjun! Give up on her! She will reject you at the end like she did to me!" Is he jealous? Those words and expressions made me angry.
I was shouting at him and everyone could hear me this time "Stop behaving like a mad man! And don't speak one more word about Pari!"
Now Rakesh was also shouting at me "Don't trust these girls man! They will hurt you in the end!"
I could feel the anger in his words for me and for Pari. His anger is due to the rejection he faced. I will not let him speak one more word about my Pari!
"You fool" I grabbed his collar. My voice was filled with pain and anger. At this moment, Pari interrupted us. Her eyes were red. She grabbed my hand and pulled me away. She was facing Rakesh and speaking to him.
"You people! Stop making me feel like a bad person!" Her voice had more pain than mine.
She couldn't speak one more word. I tried to speak but she insisted not to speak by waving her hand. My heart! It was aching more seeing her like that. Kiran tried to speak to her but no use. She left with Mahitha without a word. She left me and Kiran behind.
I was smiling with her few minutes back and now am in pain. Why did Pari say those words "You people??". Seriously I feel like kicking this Rakesh! Why is he spoiling my time with Pari. Only few more days and this is where my story is..Oh No!
-Arjun Krishna
Pari..She was smiling at me when she saw me. She was looking for Kiran, if he was with me. She was waiting for us and was about to enquire about Kiran.
"Kiran couldn't join us. He got some work!" I started speaking. There was a pause and she laughed out.
"Kiran! that fellow as far as i know, he did it intentionally" And she insisted to start.
In the morning, I was almost begging Kiran to come with us. He pretended that he got some work and clearly rejected me. He mischievously did it, so that I and Pari could spend some time together. Now! to control my feelings, there would be nothing and I can be free. I was going to do something crazy!
Pari wanted to buy some gifts for her family and friends before she leaves to Delhi. As we would be busy next week, she planned it today. We browsed almost all outlets but couldn't find a thing which we both liked. She was very funny. I could visit every mall in Bangalore with same feel. It was lunch time and Pari was so happy to declare that. We both were seated at food court having lunch. Like every time she started making fun of me. We had very good time.
We started shopping again! And this time we were adding things to our cart. She was smiling and looking at me. I realized that I felt a slight pain in my heart. I am almost addicted to her smile and what will happen to me if she goes away from me. Hope she confirms soon that she loves me too.
She made me try a t-shirt. It looked good on me. But it wasn't for me. She took a pair of same shirts for her cousins. Cousins include that mad fellow who rejected this lady. We finished our shopping and it was almost midnight. I dropped her at her room. We were standing at the entrance of her building. She was about to say good bye and Kiran called me. Always interrupts at the wrong time! I ignored and disconnected him. She was about to speak and it was him again. I switched off my mobile this time. She handed over the t-shirts to me and declared they were for me and Kiran, she smiled again and said good bye. I was delighted and didn't want to leave, still I said good bye. She was watching me leave, I took a few steps away from her and shouted out "See you Pari! See you everyday!".
I could see that she was excited. That excitement, I will try to bring it to my Pari, everyday!
-Arjun Krishna
We were having some fun with all friends. We decided to play a game.. Kiran was host and was entertaining all of us. We were all enjoying. I was playing against Pari. Kiran was explaining the game and its rules. It a word memory game. The first player will start with a word, say apple. The second player will again add a word to existing list, for example apple and bat, and the cycle goes on. The player who misses a word from existing list will lose and the other wins.
We started!
Arjun: Arjun
Pari: Arjun Pari
Arjun: Arjun Pari May
We both smiled.
Pari: Arjun Pari May June
Arjun: Arjun Pari May June Driver
Pari: Arjun Pari May June Driver Shirt
Arjun: Arjun Pari May June Driver Shirt BasketBall
Pari: Arjun Pari May June Driver Shirt BasketBall Krishna
Arjun: Arjun Pari May June Driver Shirt BasketBall Krishna Kavitha
Pari: Arjun Pari May June Driver Shirt BasketBall Krishna Kavitha Kiran
Arjun: Arjun Pari May June Driver Shirt BasketBall Krishna Kavitha Kiran Monica
I went on until I skipped a word. Pari won it! And the last three words were park, rain and song.
All our memories were reflected in those words. I feel like saying "I love you" to her right now. But I cannot. I have to give her sometime. Time for her to conclude that we are born for each other. I feel delighted waiting for my love.
-Arjun Krishna
I see the same sun shinning down everyday, but as the days are passing.. I feel the change, and they are changing to be more beautiful ones.. We were cracking jokes at Kiran and he was doing nothing but concentrating on his food.Then, dad called me. I went aside and spoke to my dad. When I ended the call, I felt like a kid who is happy because he got what he wanted. I have to share this news with Pari. I think she will be delighted to hear this.
When I returned, they were checking on the status of Pari's tickets to Delhi. I felt bad, there were very less days left and our relationship isn't clear yet. I had a happy news but I couldn't deliver it to her. She was smiling at me answering them. I felt healed and I smiled at her.
Now! I have to look for a proper situation to deliver this news to her!I am sure this is not the proper time.
I was asusual working. Mahitha and Neha were there to disturb me.
Neha started "Arjun!we have a good idea!"
I asked "For what is it?"
"We can go on some tour. All of us! before Pari leaves"
I casually said "Good Idea! I am in!! What about others?"
"You convince others! You will do a good job..especially with Pari"
"Pari!?" I asked. Neha smiled at me and left.
Pari and me were having coffee in the evening. Pari looked at me and smiled. she said "Arjun!" I leaned forward and asked her "What is it?" I was sitting opposite to her.
"Let us go to shopping this weekend. Ask Kiran to keep his schedule clear!"
"Oh ok Pari! What do you want to buy?"
"A saree, few shirts and gifts for my family and beloved ones.."
"Oh ok mam! Always at your service!" We both smiled. I have to tell Pari that we were planing a tour for her. Pari is a person, who will always look forward to spend time with friends. Now, asking her was not a problem at all.
"Pari! We planned a tour for you!" I said.
"Oh Nice!" She was excited and started asking a bunch of questions. I happily answered her.
She was glad! Her eyes! they were shining with happiness. I could feel it. I don't think Pari would have had the same excitement if someone else delivered this message to her. She started planning from this moment. It is going to be lot of fun with Pari..Much joyful days are yet to come..

I was back to office but for real I wasn't really back. My memories were so fresh and happy that I wanted to go back again. I was looking around without concentrating on work. Pari passed by and suddenly my mood was different. I don't want to go back. I wanted to work!I love my job because of Pari.
Pari..When will you come to me..when will you say "I love you!" to me. When.. I am waiting for you with all my patience.
I was working sincerely and Pari was there to disturb me. She was asking me about my family. She was remembering my cousins. We were having a good conversation!
She asked "You would be missing them now! Isn't it!"
"Yeah! I am missing them but still am happy to be here?"
"Is it?"
"Ya! because am back to y--" I stopped speaking. There was a very small pause and I continued "I am back to you all" What I wanted to say was that I am back to her. How could I say that her and also when am in office.
Work in office was like everyday. And then she asked me and Kiran to wait for her before leaving. From now on I will wait for her everyday.
Kiran and Pari were waiting for me outside. I hurried to join them. We got into bus and as usual I was sitting opposite to Pari.
Pari was teasing me and Kiran was enjoying.
"Arjun! What were you saying back then?"
"When?" I pretended not to know.
"I am happy because am back to you!" she remembers.
I covered "Who said that?I said I am back to you all!"
"Is it?You liar!" She smiled and I smiled and said nothing.
She said "These days you are flirting too much with me Arjun!" Kiran was shocked! So was I!
"If it wasn't the office. You would've done the same thing what you did while we were watching 'Ye maya chesavey!'" I smiled.
"And your cousins they teased me too much because of you!I have to complain to my Dad!" She said.
Kiran teased Pari that she couldn't tell her dad. Pari challenged him and called her dad. She kept the speaker on when he said hello. We were sure that it was her dad. She removed her speaker on option when he said hello and continued.
She spoke these words "Papa! This Arjun is flirting too much with me!"
I was surprised! Kiran was too! We were looking at each other.
She ended the call after sometime. "What Arjun! You looked shocked?" She asked me.
"Your Dad! Didi he scold me?" I inquired her.
She smiled and answered "Who wouldn't scold if someone is flirting with their daughter!" I was more shocked! She smiled mischievously and continued "He also said these andhra people don't generally flirt. They express that they like them in a unique style just like my mom. When I speak about you, he just remembers his love story." We both smiled at her. That was my future father in law!
Pari..She gave me hard time today but I feel more closer to her. Brother's marriage, Pari's father..all these make me feel like that! Now..I am expecting that there will be no day when Pari will not accept me..Soon she is going to confirm me!

Kiran and I boarded the train, it was like back when we went Hyderabad to visit Monica's and Kiran's home during our college days. We were in our third year of college and it was summer. We three, boarded the train and started our journey to Hyderabad from Vishakapatnam! We played cards! I remember Kiran cheating us and we both kicked him a lot for doing that. Kiran and Monica were fighting for upper berth and I mischievously took their pictures. It sure captured many funny expressions. Kiran hid Monica's sandals in his bag before she woke up. He made her stay barefoot until we reached our destination! He got a lot of beating after that. Monica was not hitting him hard, So I didn't interfere and enjoyed by capturing the moments on my camera. Played many silly children games and we three had lot of fun.
Now when I think of it, may be Kiran loved her from a long time but we both couldn't find it out. All those memories were coming back and I was feeling nostalgic.
The journey started. Few minutes after that we got a call from Monica. She was looking at all marriage pics and was missing us. She had some important examination. So, she couldn't attend. Kiran was capturing our selfies and was sending more pics to tease her that we both were enjoying without her. She must be feeling bad. So I supported her like every time, she felt very happy.
"Kiran! She isn't jealous that she is not with us, She's happy because atleast we both are spending time together!"
There would be a day in future Monica and Kiran would be together, Me and Pari would be together! I hope Pari was here for me to share these feelings and smiles.

Shiva has captured the moments on his camera. There would be a day in future when we will be looking at these pictures and would be smiling at each other. This is what I wanted! And this is what I have got!
