me your pic, wearing the same sky blue top which you were wearing today…”
She said okay! And sent the pic through MMS.
I was very happy to have her in my life and finally we could meet each other alone and spend quality time with each other. I saved that picture in my mobile and in my eyes too. I kept on watching the picture the whole night and wondered how beautiful a girl could be. Does god have a special machine which made her so beautiful that anyone could fall for her? I was rewinding the meeting and playing it again and again in my mind. I don’t remember whether I could sleep that night or not, but I am damn sure that this time I had found the girl whom I would marry and spend my whole life with her.
We both were behaving like any other couple in this world. Wishing each other “Good Morning” chatting on messages all the time, calling each other when we had no one around us. Peeping in on each other’s life, guiding and sometimes, ordering each other to do or not to do some things.
One day when I called Megha, her elder sister Kavya received the call; this was my first conversation with her. Thereafter we had many conversations between us and quite frequently; we both shared a lot of things with each other and then we became good friends. After few days we met each other and I was happy that I had someone who knew that both of us were going around and would help Megha and me when we need someone’s support. Megha knew this and she was okay with it. Meanwhile Megha also told me that she has come to know about her cousin Sakshi having a boyfriend named Lalit, and we laughed a lot remembering the day, when Megha told me to go out with Sakshi as she would have been perfect for me. But we both were happy that we had another couple with us who would be hanging around with us and maybe accompany us to movies and other fun outings.
28th May, 2009 (Megha’s Birthday)
We had already planned to go to the Cross River mall in Shahdara to celebrate Megha’s birthday. Megha, Sakshi and I travelled by metro towards Shahdara, and Kavya, Lalit and his friends joined us there at the mall.
After cutting the birthday cake and celebrating Megha’s birthday, we all went for the ‘Scary House Ride’. I had never been on any such ride in my life, it was the first time. After buying the tickets, we went inside the so- called ‘Scary House’; it was a dark room having a different kind of lighting and smoky atmosphere inside. There were a lot of stairs after every 10 meters or so and different kinds of artificial trees by the sides of the foot path on which we were walking. The best part was that every few seconds something happened which scared us. Sometimes it was a guy without a head, or sometimes it’s was a witch coming out from a coffin and running behind us.
Suddenly it was an artificial snake which someone threw on both of us, me and Megha. She held my hand tightly, and that was the moment when we forgot everything and were just walking hand in hand towards the exit without being afraid of anything. It was just like a movie scene where a boy and girl confess their love for each other in front of their families and walk hand in hand and say ‘We want to marry each other and we want to live and die in each other’s arm no matter what happens!.
Soon the party was over and it was the time to go home. I, Megha and Sakshi travelled to Pitampura by metro and Kavya, Lalit and his friends left on their own conveyance. After seeing off Megha and Sakshi, I went home. This time I had two thoughts in my mind, on the one hand I was happy to see her smile and happy but on the other hand I was sad because I wanted to hug her, but I couldn’t.
The Blackest Day of My Life
13th August, 2009
I t was 8:30 in the morning when I was sleeping but I could hear voice of my Mamaji’s friend, who had come to our home early that day. I tried to open my eyes to see him but I was feeling very sleepy and couldn’t open my eyes and fell
