just a Tale

“Ur late!!” ...she said turning away from me.. Pretending to b angry... “Mumbai traffic jaanuu!!” ...I said, and kissed her on the forehead, “WATERMELON!!” I almost said…but she pretended not to hear…or may b she didn’t! Yeah! her hair smelled like watermelon today … shampoos these days’ I tell u!!... They make us smell like fruits and vegetables …and claim to strengthen our hair naturally! “Whatever!” came the reply ... as she continued not looking at me...I didn’t have much too say now... cz I knew no logical reason would ever convince her… so I just stood there waiting for her to say something!! .. She looked here and there for a while... Switched her hand bag from one arm to another, checked her watch... and then finally looked at me and said … “can we walk now? …or u just wanna stand here? … first of all u make me wait at this god damn bus stop for what seems like ages everyday... and then ur late always ... and then when u come… u have nothing different to say !! …not even a different excuse! ... I wonder if u really care!” she looked really serious now as we walked along… “ofcourse I do jaanuu! Ofcourse I care … u know it” … I said quickly …putting my arm around her shoulders, bringing her towards me… gals!!! .. Only a quick affirmative answer makes them believe u! ... “U always say that!!”... She continued as v carried on walking towards the beach…

This is priya … long curly hair, beautiful brown eyes, perfect body and quite brainy too [well atleast she thinks she’s brainy]…we met each other two summers ago at this very bus stop … she wanted to go to a place which she had never heard of … and I like a good Samaritan helped her reach her destination [get down at the right stop, U see... I wud have loved to drop her home also .. but that's another story!] … after that we met a few more times at the bus stop, soon our smiles & Digits were exchanged and even sooner we concluded that …we liked each other and should meet regularly at the same bus stop … may b we liked the bus stop more!

“Here is the beach finally!!” she exclaimed happily, as v felt our legs get buried in the sand …her mood had started to take a U-turn now. We proceeded towards a nearby bench. “do u know why I like this place?” … she asked suddenly… blushing slightly … well here u go! .. I kinda knew this one finally!!! U see… this beach close frm the bus stop.. And according to me it’s an ideal place to hangout here… why spend on traveling and go else where?? “Oh well ofcourse I know!!”…I said with a Mr.-know-it-all kinda smile :-)“its bcz…..”. “Awww!”...she interrupted, “I knew u wud know, aww… :-)!! …this place is sooooo romantic u noe!! I wud have traveled even five miles to be here with u everyday!” “Yeah???? Oh, I mean yeah yeah ! ofcourse ofcourse:-)..I knew that :-) ”..was all I managed to say :-( … may be no one thinks convenience in love!!

We sat there on the bench for a while talking about various topics...yeah ‘how-romantic-is-this-beach’ being one of them :-) …and suddenly kabhi kabhi aditi…[my ring tone]…. Interrupted… I answered the call and instantly priya witnessed my face turning pale.. “oh! Iam soo srry! Ill be der in 15”...I said and hung up! “wats the matter?” …priya asked …looking very concerned … “huh?...oh this ? …well I got to go! ...some work has come up”…I answered …still trying to recover! “oh ok! Everything fine na?” …she was still not convinced!.. “hmm yeah yeah!. ….ill call u later”...I said and left quickly.

I rushed as soon as possible and finally did enough to push myself inside a CCD … all sweaty I searched here and there…. oh no!! was i late?? :-( .. how could this happen to me ??.. :-( wat will i do now ?? :-( ...and just as all these questions were running in my head!! ...!!

Sigh!! There she was!

Suzen! Long curly hair, beautiful brown eyes, perfect body and quite brainy too [well atleast she thinks she’s brainy]… …how did I forget I was to meet her too!! Poor gal had to wait
“Ur late!!” ...she said turning away from me... Pretending 2 b angry... “Mumbai traffic jaanuu!!” ...I said, and kissed her on the forehead……:-p
