I am Soulfully Yours

Unexpected Stranger

Arjun was somewhat made himself busy in his work just to avoid the random thoughts. Right from the day he left Chennai, he was reminded of thoughts of Sadhana. Though his mind was clouded with a lot of other things earlier, now sadhana's thoughts superseded everything in his mind.

Arjun went for a walk on the evening near his stay which is near London bridge, The cool breeze hit his body, which he got remembered Sadhana's fluttering eyes that conveys a lot than her words. There he saw a girl laughing with his boy friend showing her dimples which he got reminded of Sadhana. "

'Arjuneyy..Naan ungalukku oru Joke sollava? she said.

'Sollu ma' he asked her eagerly.

'Intha lemonuh aana penna?' she asked him.

'Ponnu..' he said with a doubt.

'Illa aanu.. yenna..puzhinja Sarrrunu varuthu illa' she told and laughed at her own joke showing her cute dimples.

'Intha maari jokelaam yaaru ma unakku solli kudukaranga?' he asked her with a pitiful look.

'Namma apartment secretary Muthu annan thaan' telling that she again laughed, he was just admiring her innocent childish nature. He wished to see that smile forever on her face."

His lips curved upwards thinking of the moment.

He saw a little girl jumping to her dad to get a ice cream from him. He got reminded of Sadhana's cute justification on her height.

'Arjuneyy...enna kindal pannathinga..naanlaam en areala evlo periya rowdy theriyuma?' Sadhana said in a rowdy tone

'Apdiya...paaka..5 adi thaan iruka..' He teased her inturn.

'Arjuneyy...naan onnum kullam illa...my height is just cute' she said with a cute pout.

He smiled thinking of their memories.

He crossed a bouquet shop where found a variety of roses which automatically reminded of Sadhana's supple lips which were far more softer than these roses.
He was reminded of their beach visit on a rainy day. He still could feel the touch of her lips in his palms. Fortunately or unfortunately thunder made to drag them into senses. What would have happened if had felt her petals on his. He felt a jittery feeling inside his stomach thinking of the incident. A tinge of blush appeared in his face.

'Why my mind is always reminds of Sadhana? I know I haven't come out of my past and I am still hanging over to my past.

After that party, I am too disturbed and confused without getting answers for my questions that are lingering in my mind.

But for past two days, why mind is constantly reminds everything of you? Why do I relate everything with you that i see? What are you doing to me sadhana?'

With the same thoughts, he went to the restaurent nearby.
He ordered a Chicken Tacco & a Creme Bruley for him.

He finished his dinner and the waiter got him his bill along with the cookie on the plate.

'Sir this is fortune cookie. This we serve as a compliment for our customers to bring a smile on their faces.
Hope you will find a good fortune message inside the cookie.
Have a pleasant evening Sir'  waiter said with a smile and left after getting paid for the order.

Arjun cracked the cookie and found the message.

"Everything will soon make sense."

He frowned with confusion. He just shrugged with a smile and moved from there, that's when he bumped on someone.

'Sorry Sir, my mistake' Arjun apologised to him.

'No worries sir..It's my fault too. I am sorry as well' the guy on the other side said with a smile. That's when that guy got a call, he picked and spoke

'Amma..Epdi irukinga..Appa epdi irukaaru? Sorry ma..Naan inga konjam work busy ayiten. Haan..Haan..Nalla iruken..Inga vela ellam nalla poitu irkku. Naan ippothaan dinner sapten. Naane en roomku poi video call panren ma. okya..bye..take care.' saying that he cut the call.

'Neenga Tamilah?' Arjun asked him.

'Aamanga..Chennai..Neenga?' that guy asked.

'Naanum..' he replied with a smile.

'By the way am Arjun' he gave his hands for a shake.

'Shakthi' that guy introduced in turn.

'Namma ooru aalungala paakrathu romba kashtam inga. Romba naal kazhichu namma ooru aala meet panrathula romba happy sir' Shakthi expressed his excitement.

'Neenga..Inga thaan settle ayirkingala?' Shakthi asked.

'Oh..Great..entha company?' Arjun asked out of curiosity.
